The Unblessed Ch. 12 Ending

 Unbeknownst to all, Collin has been watching the fun from a hill overlooking the mine. Once Dan drives the truck inside he makes his way to a small body of water that leads into the mine through the flooded tunnels. He has a full wet suit, three air tanks and an underwater scooter. And he knows how to use all of it perfectly. He makes his way through the dark water and finds the cavern where the Satan beast is just about to eat Samantha and I'm just going to finish this.

He fakes having a dead man's switch hooked to explosives in Dan's pack and Mr. G lets Dan and Samantha go. Collin lets Mr. G know that he has explosives in a nearby pumphouse that will blow up the dam and flood the mine and town, drowning the creature which is completely immobile without help. They make their way back through the flooded tunnels. Collin sends Samantha and Dan to the helicopter with a last envelope of instructions and orders to evacuate town.

Mr. G got the location of the pumphouse from Dan's mind and sends his people to intercept Collin while the possessed get, like, a forklift to move the creature out. One of them needs to get the truck out of the mine entrance but everything is welded shut (how did Dan get out?) and they need to torch it open.

Mr. G, Weston and several other cultists have a running gun battle with Collin up the mountain. Dan lifts off in the helicopter while Samantha provides cover fire. The envelope tells them to fly back over the mine and press a switch a couple times. Mr. G and Collin face off, with Collin with his gun and knife and Mr. G with a large rock.

Mr. G manages to maneuver his way around Collin, into the pumphouse and rip out the explosive device which he then takes and throws off a cliff at which point the truck itself explodes and, presumably kills the creature that was waiting to get around it. I'm really not certain of the point of the switch in the helicopter except as another feint to distract Mr. G. But the truck was the plan all along. It was wired to blow when it was moved. Somehow.

Collin pushes Mr. G off the cliff and collapses into unconsciousness figuring he'll see the aftermath tomorrow. And that's it. That's the end. It read like someone who has seen a lot of action movies. But hey, it was fun. Stupid, but fun.
