Chapter 3 - A Familiar Face

Later on, Rachel knocks on the door of the infirmary, before Dennis enters. His face immediately falls upon seeing Rachel.

Dennis: What do you want?

Rachel: Just checking on my friend.

Dennis: What? Making sure we haven't killed your friend like you killed Laura?

Rachel frowns.

Rachel: Look, can I just visit my friend? Please.

Dennis: Fine...

Dennis walks out of the room as Rachel sits down in front of a comatose Abigail.

Rachel: Hey, Abigail....gotta say; you are so lucky that you're asleep right now. We've only been here for a few days and things feel like they're falling apart....I fucked up.....Moses is dead....and I....I killed someone....a woman...the leader of this community....and now, I'm scared that my fuck up is going to cost us a home....I don't know what I'll do if we're out there again....

Rachel takes Abigail's hand.

Rachel: Just thought I'd pick you up to speed....I'll catch up with you later....

Rachel walks up to the door, before turning back and smiling.

Rachel: Oh....and I hope when you wake up, you like the hair....Moses did.

Rachelexits the infirmary, but soon after Rachel leaves, Abigail's fingers twitch. Kyle is sitting with his hands on his knees as Sarah sits across from him. Kyle scoffs.

Sarah: What?

Kyle: I keep thinking what if this isn't real; what if I'm still chained to the wall, still bleeding out from that wound that Ryder gave me all those years ago. That's how I feel. Like I'm still there.

Caleb stands up and walks up to Rachel.

Caleb: Rachel. That gun; you didn't turn it in after you came back from your run?

Rachel looks down.

Caleb: You should've fucking turned it in. If you had, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Sarah: Caleb, this isn't her fault.

Caleb: No, it's not, but Kyle should've taken her gun. Guys, this is the first real home we've had and now, we just fucked over our chances.

Rachel grits her teeth, stands up and kicks the chair down.

Rachel: Fuck!

Sarah: Rachel!

Sarah walks up to Rachel and calms her down.

Rachel: I did what you said and those people didn't give a shit! They're angry!

Kyle: Well, hold on. That boy, Zeke, was on our side. So was Samantha, Alicia and Anna.

James: Yeah, kid. That might help us.

Rocky: You think they're really going to kick us out?

Caleb: To fucking try.

James turns to Cassandra.

James: Cassandra, I think you should try to talk to Samantha.

Caleb: Kyle, they can vote, but once they make a choice; you need to make a story. Tell them you gave Rachel a gun and you were worried about her going on the run and-

Rachel: Fuck that. I'll tell them the truth. That Joshua gave us the guns and I never gave it back.

Caleb: Rachel, we go with that and we'll fuck up our chances of a pleading a case. For now, I think we'll just say we'll do whatever we have to do to make it is.

Sarah: Why are we doing that? Telling them what they want to hear?

Chris: And most of all, why do we care?

Caleb: In case you haven't noticed, these people are children and children love stories to get them to shut up.

Rocky: Yeah, but what happens after all the nice words are said, and they still try to kick us out?

James: They're guarding the armory now.

Margaret: I still got my sniper rifle in my room. If they attempt to kick us out, then we'll fight them. If necessary, kill all of them. Take this place for ourselves.

Sarah: Are you all hearing yourselves? If they vote to kick us out, we kill all these people? Take this place?

Cassandra: I agree. What about Seth? He's just a child. Zeke. Those other two kids.

Chris: And Morgan?

Sarah: Fuck Morgan. That girl's got too much of a smart mouth.

Chris: She's just a kid, Sarah.

Kyle: Yeah, and so was Moses. He was just a kid and look what happened. Those other two kids that died on that run.

Sarah: Kyle, we can talk to these people.

Kyle: We will...

Shawn: But if we can't get through to them, we'll need a plan B. We take Samantha hostage. Say we'll kill her if they don't comply.

James: Dude, you don't seriously mean that? A hostage exchange? You remember what happened the last time you were a hostage?

Shawn: This is different. We're not Lynn or the Reapers.

Rocky: Plus the last hostage exchange we had went very well. We managed to rescue the kid and still take out those bikers.

Kayla: Rocky, please....not in front of Savannah.

Rocky: Sorry.

Kyle: Well, it won't be like that. They give us the armory, all their guns.

James looks away.

James: Kyle, if we take their guns with us, and if these raiders really are coming, they'll be defenseless.

Kyle tilts his head.

Kyle: That's on them.

James: Dude....did you want this?

Kyle: No, I didn't. I have my limits. We're here.

In the Burns house, Samantha is talking to Seth.

Samantha: Uh...Seth....I was meaning to talk to you this morning....before Grandma and Grandpa died....it's...it's about your father.....he....he died....

Seth looks down tearful.

Samantha: I know....I know, baby...I am so sorry.....he....he would want you to be strong, okay?

Seth begins to cry before Samantha comforts him.

Samantha: It's okay...it's okay....

Seth: Mom? Was this because of that man with the scar on his face and his people? If they're bad people, you should kick them out.

Samantha sighs, hearing that.

Samantha: Look, baby...

Before Samantha can say more, there's a knock at the door.

Samantha: I'll get that.

Samantha walks to the front door to see Cassandra and Savannah. Samantha opens the door and glares at Cassandra.

Samantha: What do you want, Cassandra?

Cassandra: To talk....also, Savannah wanted to play with Seth.

Samantha: I don't think so.

Cassandra: Hey....come on. I get what Rachel did, but punishing Savannah just because of someone else's act by isolating your son from a friend? That's pretty fucking low.

Cassandra tilts her head to Seth.

Cassandra: Sorry for the language, honey.

Cassandra stares back at Samantha, who sighs then stares at Seth.

Samantha: Fine....Come on in.

Cassandra and Savannah walk into the house as Savannah hugs Seth. She then speaks in sign language.

Cassandra: She says she's sorry about your grandma, grandpa and father. She also asked if you want to play with her.

Seth: I don't know.

Cassandra: Seth...honey....I'm not going to talk bad to you, okay? Especially in front of your mom....but I promise you, we're not scary people.

Seth looks at Cassandra for a minute, before looking back at Savannah and nodding his head, yes, causing Savannah to smile. The two kids run off and play.

Samantha: You're pretty good with kids....

Cassandra: I was a aunt to Kyle and Sarah's daughter.

Samantha: They have a daughter?

Cassandra: Uh....had a daughter...

Samantha: Oh...I'm sorry...so I'm guessing dropping Savannah off to play with my son isn't the real reason you're over here.

Cassandra: No.....it's not.

Samantha sighs.

Samantha: I need to talk to everyone about what happened and what we need to do about it.

Cassandra: If your plan includes sending us or just Rachel away, it's not going to work with us.

Samantha: What does that mean?

Cassandra: Your mom let us in. She let all of us in. She talked to us, and she decided and now you want to put that whole decision on a group of scared people who might not have the whole story. I get it; Rachel killed your mom....but your mom did things and she killed your dad. You're these people's leader now, and if you make a choice on angry people, it's not leadership.

Samantha: I need a chance for the people of Berrington to say their peace and I'll make the decision myself.

Cassandra: Rachel is fifteen years old. She was protecting us. Your mom was going to kill Sarah. She had a gun to her head! You saw it. Samantha, we've all lost family. I've lost my family out there. The things we've seen.

Samantha: Rachel snuck in a gun, and then she killed my mom with it.

Cassandra: Yeah, a gun that your husband snuck to her. And you haven't dealt with that? You heard what Rachel said about that, right? About your sister killing your husband? What are you going to do about that?

Samantha: Morgan didn't kill my Mom. Rachel did. What was going to stop her from killing someone else? I know you've all killed a lot of people out there.

Cassandra: Yes, we have. People who have threatened us or have killed people we loved. Good people. Family.

Samantha shakes her head.

Samantha: I get it...but if the people decide to kick y'all out, I'm going to do what I have to do. I'm sorry.

Cassandra sighs and then walks away, before Samantha sighs.

Samantha: Goddammit....

At Peter's house, Shawn knocks on the door and Peter answers, before sighing.

Peter: What do you want?

Shawn: I'm going on a run. You should come with me so we can talk without a bunch of ears, listening in.

Peter gives a look. At the survivors house, Kyle walks up to Sarah, with a backpack.

Kyle: Hey...

Sarah: Hey, where are you going?

Kyle: Taking Rachel out for a run. If there's a good chance we'll be out there again, then I want to make sure that we're good on things like food.

Sarah nods.

Sarah: Okay....

Sarah kisses Kyle as Rachel walks down with her backpack and then groans. Kyle and Sarah then break the kiss.

Rachel: Gross. Old people love.

Sarah: What? You should be happy to see us in love.

Kyle laughs. Rachel frowns, thinking about Moses.

Sarah: Oh, honey....I'm sorry. I didn't mean to--

Rachel: It's fine, Sarah.

Rachel clears her throat.

Rachel: Kyle, can we go, please?

Kyle: Yeah.

Kyle and Rachel walk to the gates of Berrington, past Brie, who is talking with a few Berrington civilians.

Kyle: Hey, Brie...

Brie: Hi, Kyle....

Kyle and Rachel walk past Samantha as Kyle glares at her. Bryan ad Connor then open the gates, allowing Kyle and Rachel to leave. In her room, Sarah lies down, looking up at the ceiling, just as there is a knock on her door.

Sarah: It's open.

Kayla walks in.

Kayla: Hey...

Sarah: Hey....what is it?

Kayla: It's Margaret. She didn't go to the tower after the funeral.

Sarah sighs.

Sarah: Where is she now?

Kayla: I don't know. Rocky's on watch now, but no one's seen her in a few hours.

Sarah: Goddammit...

Sarah stands up and grabs her pistol. Sarah and Kayla then searches the woods for Margaret.

Kayla: It's up ahead.

Sarah: She tell you about this?

Kayla: No, but I saw her going out one day with her rifle. I knew someone was already in the tower, so I figured I'd ask, you know?

A noise startles Sarah and Kayla, causing them to turn with their weapons drawn. After it seems no one is there, the two women lower their weapons and continue searching.

Kayla: This is my first time out since getting here.

Sarah: I hear that. It feels so different.

Kayla: That's good, right?

Sarah: I don't know.

Kayla: After we left the dam, after finding out Sanctuary was a lie, I was fucked up for quite some time because I lost something. I thought we'd lost a chance at a new home. You seem more fucked up because we found something.

Sarah stops and turns to Kayla.

Sarah: Cassandra was sick for months....she almost died.....and Abigail...she almost died making sure she lived....then Moses died, I thought after we got here, the deaths would stop, but then; those kids, Dana, Jason, Kale, Joshua and Laura are dead...and I just think-It felt like I was asleep.

Kayla: You were trying to forget. I get it, but that doesn't mean we should give up on this place.

Sarah: They're gonna kick us out, Kayla.

Kayla: They might not....

Sarah: What makes you think they won't?

Kayla: Well....you told Rachel what she did was wrong. That's a start.

In the woods, Shawn and Peter walk and look around.

Peter: So, can I ask why you dragged me out here?

Shawn: Look, man.....I get it. What Rachel did was pretty fucked up and scary.....but you know there's some truth to what Kyle was saying about Melanie....about Colleen....you know he was right.

Peter: I don't know, Shawn. When I brought you and your people here, I thought you all could help make it safe....but after Laura, I don't know if I can think that anymore. I thought I was honoring Abigail.....cause she believed in this place. She wanted you all here....Maybe I can't give up....but it won't be up to me. It'll be up to the people of Berrington.

Shawn nods his head.

Shawn: All right.

Meanwhile, James is sitting outside, before Cassandra meets up with him.

James: So?

Cassandra: So, is still debatable....

James: So, what is it?

Cassandra: What we thought. I'm going to talk to people. Try to solve this the best way I can. Talk to everyone I can. Make this better.

James looks away.

Cassandra: What?

Cassandra then sits with James.

James: I love you.

Cassandra: I love you, too. It's going to be okay.

Cassandra rests her head on James' shoulder.

In the woods, Sarah and Kayla walk up on a dead infected with gunshot to the back of the head.

Sarah: Back of the fucking head.

Kayla: Definitely her.

The two women then find another dead infected.

Sarah: Back of the head.

Kayla kneels down to find a family portrait shot.

Sarah: She's trying to get closer by hunting them.

In Berrington, Samantha walks up to Morgan, who is standing over Moses' grave.

Samantha: Hey....we need to talk.

Morgan sighs.

Morgan: What about?

Samantha: What really happened on that run.

Morgan: Oh, for fucks sake, Samantha.....I'm your fucking sister--

Samantha: Don't talk. Just listen. I don't know what happened.....but seeing as how you're standing over Moses' grave, it's pretty fucking clear.....and Josh and Moses.....that's on you. Those two lives; you have to carry that....your nephew has to grow up without a father because of you. Stupid people like you should be dead....but these fucking walls went up just in time to save you. You're not going out on those walls anymore. Not by yourself. Not with anyone else.

Morgan: Are you serious? You're dealing with me still after that bitch put a bullet in Mom's head?

Samantha: I will deal with her and her people at the meeting...but just know; I believe them and I know what you did....and I'm going to honor Mom by making sure you don't do it again.

Morgan: This is fucked up. I got food for this place when the adults couldn't!

Samantha: Don't forget what I just said.

Morgan: Are you threatening me? Your own sister?

Samantha: No. I'm saving my dumb ass sister.

At the Berrington gate, a motorbike approaches as the driver, a dark-skinned African-American man, hops off the bike, before banging on the gate.

John: Yo, it's me. I'm back. You going to let me in?

Caleb walks up to the gate and then opens the fence part of it.

Caleb: I'm not authorized to open the gate for strangers.

John: Who the fuck are you?

Caleb: You first.

John: John. John Stone. I live here. I've been on a run for a the last couple of weeks. I'm just getting back.

Caleb pulls back the fenced gate.

Caleb: I'm Caleb. Peter himself brought me and my group here. Look, you and I haven't had a chance to meet and I can't exactly confirm your residence.

John: Open the fucking gate, man.

Caleb: I do, how do I know you won't try to kill me?

John chuckles.

John: Look, buddy. I'm not going to kill you, but the more you make me wait, the more you're making me think of kicking your ass.

Caleb laughs, before unlocking the gate.

John: Thanks.

John opens the gate and brings in the motorcycle. After parking it, John then approaches Caleb.

John: So, what? Laura put you on guard duty.

Caleb: Oh, no, I'm not. This is Bryan's shift. I was just walking by. He asked if I could take his place for a few minutes....and I'm slowly starting to regret, because that idiot took advantage of my kindness.

John: Huh. I'll close up.

John closes the gate and locks it, before turning back to Caleb.

John: So anything big happen while I was gone?

Caleb: Well, you should know, Laura is no longer in charge.

John: Really? She stepped down or....

John notices the large pool of blood in the middle of Berrington square.

John: The fuck happened?

Caleb: ....you might want to talk to Samantha.

John turns to Caleb. In the woods, Margaret is shooting infected with her silenced sniper rifle. She then finds another infected walking up and aims her rifle, before shooting it.

Sarah: Margaret....

Margaret sighs just as Sarah and Kayla walk up to her.

Margaret: Goddammit....

Sarah: Come on, girl.

Margaret: Go back.

Kayla: The hell are you doing?

Margaret: Sick of playing guard dog.

Sarah: So you're just going to take on all of em until you're dead?

Margaret: That's the plan.

As a large pack of infected show up, Margaret continues shooting at the horde.

Sarah: Shit...

Kayla: We gottta get out of here. Now.

Margaret: You can, but I'm not.

Margaret continues shooting as Sarah looks around, before shaking her head.

Sarah: Goddammit....

Sarah aims her pistol at the infected horde.

Margaret: I don't need your help.

Sarah: Just let me.

Sarah shoots infected down while Kayla stabs a few of them with her knife. Margaret runs out of ammo in her sniper rifle, before attempting to reload. She then switches to her knife and takes out a male infected, but a female infected attacks her. Margaret attempts to grab her knife, but after a brief struggle, Sarah shoots the infected in the head.

Margaret: I fucking had it.

Sarah offers her hand, but Margaret swats it away.

Margaret: I don't need your help.

Margaret then stands and glares at Sarah then Kayla, before back at Sarah.

Margaret: I told you both to leave....

Margaret points at Sarah.

Margaret: You. Everything worked out of you. Your life is so fucking perfect....You can't help me, Sarah. You can't-

Margaret then looks around.

Margaret: Moses.....I told that boy that he was going to die.

Feeling guilty, Margaret looks down, before walking away. Kayla walks behind her. Sarah then looks at the ground.

Sarah: Shit...

Elsewhere in the woods, Kyle and Rachel walk in the woods.

Rachel: So....are you going to say it?

Kyle: Say what?

Rachel: I fucked up.

Kyle sighs.

Kyle: Look, Rachel, what you did....it was stupid. Brave, but stupid. Honestly, I wanted to kill her, too. You just beat me to it.

Rachel: So, at that meeting, you think that they're going to kick us out?

Kyle: I don't know, Rachel. We've got a wounded girl in a coma and a six-year-old girl with us, so hopefully, they say no...but realistically, they'll kick us out.

Rachel: Should I go?

Kyle: No. You're going to stay home. People will be glaring at you the whole meeting, and I don't need that.

Rachel: That's what it is now, right? Home?

Kyle stops and turns to Rachel.

Kyle: Yes, it is.

Rachel: These people need us, Kyle. They'll die without us.

Kyle sighs.

Kyle: I might have to threaten one of them. Maybe kill one of them.

Rachel: Kyle, a lot of their people are already dead....and their leader. You won't.

Kyle: I might.

Rachel: You have to tell them so they can hear you.

Kyle: Rachel, these people are not like us....

The two walk for a while.

Kyle: I'm practically saving your ass again, though.

Rachel: Oh, you're keeping record now, huh?

Kyle: Yep....

Rachel: Okay, then....let's do a little deal.

Kyle: A deal?

Rachel: Yep.

Kyle: What's the deal?

Rachel: If I ever save your life....again, you have to....

Rachel twists her lips, thinking, before smirking.

Rachel: Sing me a song.

Kyle: What?

Rachel: Yep. That's the deal. If I ever save your life again....you owe me a song.

Kyle: What kind of deal is that? I'm not fucking singing.

Rachel: You sure as shit are.

Kyle: Well, that's never fucking happening, cause you're never saving my ass again.

Rachel: Oh, sure. You wanna bet? Cause I know for a fact--

Suddenly, a loud gunshot rings out in the forest.

Kyle: Shit! Hide!

The two of them run and hide behind the trees. Kyle looks over from the trees and sees Griffin, missing his right arm, walking a few feet away, carrying a 12 gauge in his left hand.

Griffin: Now, come out. I saw you two in the road. How long do you think you can hide?

Kyle: Oh shit. Who the fuck is this?

Rachel: It's him. Kyle...that's the man who tried to rob Zeke at the warehouse.

Kyle: Yes...the one Kale was afraid of. I thought you said he was dead.

Rachel: He was. I shot him into a horde of infected.

Kyle: Well, looks like he survived. He cut off his bite fast enough to let him live.

Rachel: Ugh....

Kyle pulls out his knife.

Kyle: Stay here.

Kyle runs out and attacks Griffin, knocking his gun out of his hand. Griffin grabs Kyle's arm and the two struggle until Kyle punches Griffin and kicks his legs from under him, making him fall.

Griffin: Think this is a fair fight, asshole? Fighting a one-armed man with two hands, huh?

Kyle prepares to kill Griffin, but then he feels a gun barrel nudge the back of his head and another one cock. Kyle drops his knife and raises his hands as Griffin stands up. One of the other man walks around and steps in front of Kyle. The man revealing to be Wes.

Wes: Hello, young man. The name's Wes. Can I ask who you are?

Kyle spits at Wes, who then sighs. Wes then shoves the end of his gun into Kyle's gut, making him double over while the person behind him shoves their gun into his back, making him fall face forward, then the other man places his boot on the back of his neck, holding him down. Kyle goes for his knife, but Griffin kicks it away. Griffin looks over to see Rachel hiding in the grass until she runs out with her gun.

Griffin: I wouldn't, girl!

Griffin aims his gun at Rachel.

Griffin: Any closer, your friend might his head blown off.

Wes: Easy, Griffin.

???: Yeah, man. Listen to the boss.

Kyle seems to recognize the other man's voice. Griffin walks up to Rachel.

Griffin: Good to see you again, kid. I kinda owe you.

Griffin then smacks Rachel down with his gun.

Kyle: Don't!

Griffin grabs Rachel by the arm as he turns to his companions.

Griffin: I've seen this one before. A fighter and a killer. You'll like her.

Wes: Now, we're looking for a woman, runs a community near here.

???: Laura Burns.

Kyle: She's dead.

Wes sighs.

Wes: Fuck...

Griffin: Hey, this can still work, boss.

Wes looks down at Kyle.

Wes: How about it, son? You want to take us back to your community, help us talk to your friends?

Kyle looks over at Rachel, who looks at Kyle in fear.

Kyle: It's not my community. I don't live there.

The other man shoves his booted foot against Kyle's neck. Rachel struggles to get out of Griffin's grip while Kyle tries to get out from under his boot, but it wasn't happening.

???: Bullshit. I find that very hard to believe. Not a lot of civilized commies around this part.

Wes: I have to agree with my lieutenant here.

Wes turns to Griffin.

Wes: Griffin....

Griffin pushes Rachel's arm back further into her back as she lets out of yelp of pain as Kyle watches in fear.

Kyle: Don't! I'll fucking kill you if you hurt her!

Wes: Easy, son....You might want to watch what you say next.

Kyle: Just let her go! Please!

Wes: If you do like we ask....

Griffin: Otherwise, I'm happy to split her head wide open.

Rachel: Fuck you!

Wes then nods to the man, who kicks Kyle on the side of his head, making him roll on his back.

Rachel: Kyle!

Kyle shakes his head and looks up at the man, only to recognize him. It was the face of Tobin, who Kyle thought to be long dead. Tobin laughs upon recognizing Kyle.

Tobin: Oh, shit.....Kyle Desipich? Damn. Here I was thinking your ass was long dead.

Wes: You know this man?

Tobin: Of course, I know him.

Tobin then turns to Griffin.

Tobin: Hey, Griffin. Ease up on that girl.

Tobin then looks back at Kyle.

Tobin: My bad. You probably don't remember me-

Kyle: Tobin. Of course I remember you. How could I forget you?!

Rachel: Wait, Kyle, you know this piece of shit?!

Kyle: It's a long story.

Tobin: "Long story"? This motherfucker got my people killed by the Condemned!

Wes: This is the man who got your former people killed?

Tobin: Yeah....

Wes walks over and then holds a hand out to Kyle.

Griffin: What the fuck is this?

Tobin: Not now.

Kyle swats Wes's hand away as he gets up. Wes looks between Kyle and Tobin.

Wes: So, you two know each other?

Tobin: Yeah, you could say that....

Tobin turns to Kyle.

Tobin: Your wife ain't with you. She dead?

Kyle: No. She's still alive.

Tobin: Hmm? What about those other people? That other bitch, the blonde boy and the cowboy?

Kyle: Caleb, Cassandra....and Woody.....and to answer your question, Caleb and Cassandra are still alive....

Tobin: And Woody?

Kyle looks away from Tobin.

Tobin: So, he's dead, then. I never forgot about that day you know. I knew I should've just had all you people killed.

Kyle: You used Woody to get us to help you collect your shit because you were too much of a pussy to go get it yourself.

Tobin scoffs.

Tobin: I had people to look after....friends....family....and then you all got them killed! Burned! Stabbed and butchered by those monsters!

Wes: Look, gentlemen, now's not the time to bring up old wounds; but it's also time for a new future.

Wes turns to Kyle.

Wes: Kyle, you seem to be a caring man who care about your people...and the girl there. You'll die protecting her. You might be able to keep this up a while longer, but eventually she'll slow you down.

Kyle: You would know about people slowing y'all down, wouldn't you?

Tobin: Brave of you, but stupid. I'm surprised your ass has made it this far. You're going to need a better plan than killing your enemies.

Griffin: Jesus...We don't have time for this.

Tobin: This motherfucker and I got history.

Griffin: Great, Tobin. You know this asshole and I know this little shit. Point is we've got important shit to do.

Wes: We can help you raise this girl, Kyle, but we need you to do something for us.

Wes faces Kyle.

Kyle: What? Help you kidnap a couple more townspeople? I know about what Laura did to the twins last year.

Tobin: We don't need a couple. We need all of them, including your group.

Wes: We'll take you back to the Olympians to join our people in San Francisco. We have walls. We have bases all over the city. Working solar panels, and we grow our own food. All we need from you is to go back to that town and convince them to come peacefully. No one dies.

Kyle: Do I look like Laura to you?

Griffin: How bout this, then? I'll take this little shit right now.

Griffin shoves Rachel's arm back into her back again. Kyle looks at Rachel in fear when he notices something. In the distance, Kyle sees Shawn and Peter sneaking up.

Griffin: That way, I know if you care about this kid, you'll play nice.

Tobin: Be smart about this, Kyle.

Wes: This is a us or them war. If you want to live, you won't side with them.

Shawn aims his pistol at Wes, Tobin and Griffin.

Kyle: Thing is; I already chose them long ago.

Kyle whistles before Shawn shoots, hitting Tobin in the shoulder. Wes turns and shoots at the two, hitting Peter in the shoulder.

Peter: Fuck!

Rachel then backhands Griffin in the face, bloodying his nose and causing him to lose his grip before Kyle grabs his Zeus Corps machete and then punches Wes in the jaw, knocking him down.

Kyle: Run!

Grabbing their belongings, Kyle and Rachel run away from the three men. The two come up on a herd of infected, but the two manage to dodge them and run as far away as they could. Kyle and Rachel then manage to fight off another herd, before Shawn and Peter arrive and take out the herd.

Shawn: You two okay?!

Rachel: Yeah....

Kyle: Thanks for the save.

Shawn: Kyle, who was that?!

Rachel: Assholes....assholes that are coming to Berrington....
