the posse emerge on the other side of the brush, only to be confronted by a terrible odor. they cover their noses and mouths as their faces shrivel in disgust. trevor vomits into some bushes. trevor sees the things flooding over the posse in the barn. the parasites are especially drawn to the posse's heads. because there are so many, the weight of the beasts knocks most of them down. trevor pulls his face from the dirt and stands. he spits violently and wipes the dirt off his tongue with his wrist. trevor and margaret carry jack out of the barn. he's bloated, corpse-like and covered in varicose veins. margaret is wearing a gag-like swatch of clothing tied around her mouths, to protect themselves. trevor's gag is down around his chin so he can chatter. the infected posse -- wally, jack, the older cop, and the redneck recruit -- are all coming in towards trevor and margaret.
