A doctor named Ben Bronschweig also exits the craft and clears the area of several curious civilians clustered nearby. Later, a helicopter from Dallas arrives at the scene and HAZMAT suited men in white exit the aircraft, carrying a bubble litter.
After Cooles loses contact with his two dispatched firefighters, however, he orders two other officers, Glenn and Sal, to enter the cave. He sends two firefighters, Danny and T.C., into the pit and reports the location of the rescue situation to officers in Dallas. Fire Captain Miles Cooles exits one of the vehicles and runs towards the cave. Later that day, two fire engines from the County Fire Department arrive at the scene.

In an attempt to find help, Stevie's friends run to the nearby residential area in Blackwood County. His three friends gather round the pit, gazing down at Stevie with concern. The boy is soon back on his feet exploring the cave where he finds human bones, including a skull with a hole at the back. A puddle of the black substance that killed the caveman crawls up from under his feet and infects Stevie in the same manner. Stevie Richardson explores the cave.Thousands of years later, a boy named Stevie Richardson who is digging holes with his friends, falls into the same underground cave. As the substance begins to move over him, he grunts and roars in intense agony. The remaining man touches the substance with a wooden torch and soon discovers that he is covered in it. Although one of the men is killed, the other manages to injure the creature with a bone weapon. A thick, black substance pours out of the alien as it lies dormant on a rock. Entering a cave, they are attacked by the long-clawed alien that left the tracks.
