Episode 4: From

The gunshot at the gas station goes off, crows fly away, and the gunshot's sound echo's in the air. Fabiana and the rest look to see who was shot, and when they looked at Mary there was blood floating all over her shirt. Christopher had shot Mary in the stomach two times because his gun fires two shots at a time. Mary looks at the group. "Mary." Says Susan, and suddenly Mary falls down on the ground. "No, Mary." Says Fabiana as she runs to Mary to try to stop the bleeding. Susan hands Sarah Charli-April to help Fabiana. Charli-April is crying, so Sarah tries to keep her calm while she and Nicole is crying as well. "Come on Mary stay with me, stay with me." Says Fabiana as she takes off her jacket to try to stop the bleeding. "Fabiana…" says Mary as she starts to choke on blood and spits out blood. "Tell…Con…Conner I…love him…please…and…tell him…I'm sorry…for not saying good…goodbye." Says Mary in tears and pain. "I will Mary, but we can still help you." Says Fabiana. "No…you can't…" says Mary and looks at Susan. By this time Susan has already started to cry. "Take…care…of that baby of… of yours." Says Mary. "I will, Mary." Says Susan and gives Mary a hug. Sarah is hugging Nicole while she tries to calm Charli-April as well. "I will remember you guys…" says Mary in her final breath and then closes her eyes. "No, Mary, please don't do this to me, no." says Fabiana and starts to cry as well. Christopher is just watching them and smiles. "Well now, we have dinner." Says Christopher. Fabiana just gives him a death stare. While Sara is calming Nicole and Charli-April, she looks at the gun Mary gave her, lying on the ground. "Hold her." Says Sarah as she gives Nicole the baby. "But… I don't know how…" says Nicole as Sarah interrupts her. "Just hold the baby, Nicole." Says Sarah as she gives Nicole the baby. Suddenly Sarah grabs the gun and starts to shoot at Christopher and Angela. She shoots Angela in the chest, and she fells on the ground, and just before Christopher wanted to do something she shoots his arm, and he drops his gun. "Oww, shit." Says Christopher as he holds his arm try to stop the bleeding. Angela was trying to go for her gun when Fabiana gets her knife and stabs Angela in the neck. So Angela begins to choke on blood and it was not long, and Angela was dead. Sarah runs to Christopher, and kicks him so that he can fell on the ground. When Christopher felled on the ground, Sarah turns the gun so that the handle of the gun be in front, and then she hits Christopher on his head with it. She begins to hit harder, until she smashed his head in. After his head was smashed in, she still continued hitting him. "Sarah, it enough." Says Fabiana, but Sarah doesn't listens. So Fabiana pulls Sarah away from Christopher and says, "It's enough Sarah, he is dead.". Sarah went to sit on the ground, drops the bloody gun cries. Nicole is crying, and Susan went to calm her down. Fabiana is a bit in shock, of what Sarah just did.

"Ok, Mary come on." Says Connor as he takes Mary's hand to escape Jason-Garhed. "Ok, I'm coming. Connor. WAIT!" says Mary as zombies surrounds her. She stabs the one zombie in the head and runs the other way. Connor just keeps on running. A few seconds later he turns around to look for Mary. "MARY! MARY!" yells Connor, but there was no time and he had to go. On his way he accidently runs into something, he thought it was a zombie, but it was actually Mark. "Jesus Christ you scared the living hell out of me." Says Connor. "Oh Connor thank god." Says Mark. "Where are we going?" asks Connor while they run away from Jason-Garhed. "I don't know do you have any ideas?" asks Mark. "No, you?" asks Connor. "No." says Mark. "Wait what about the pharmacy Alexa and the rest always went?" asks Connor. "Yeah that can work." Says Connor. "Ok so let's go there." Says Connor. So they went to the pharmacy to stay for awhile.

 

The pharmacy's door slams open, and Mark and Connor runs inside and closes the door. "You think they followed us?" asks Mark. "No they probably all went to the fire." Says Connor. "God dammit, that fucking piece of shit!" says Mark as he kick the bottom of the counter. "I swear I'm gonna fucking kill Christopher the moment when I see him again." Says Mark. "No kidding." Says Connor. "We don't even know who made it out, I don't know if Peter or…or Alexa…or even the kids. God dammit." Says Mark with stress in his voice. "We'll find them, all of them." Says Connor. "But then I'm going right now!" says Mark as he walks to the door. "Whoa Mark, not now." Says Connor as he stops Mark. "Why not?" asks Mark. "We first need things to settle down at Jason-Garhed, and then we can go, and besides we need to catch our breath as well." Says Connor. "Ok fine, but as soon as the sun rises tomorrow I'm going to look for the rest." Says Mark. "Ok, then we can do it, but let's that, but tonight we can stay here and on our way, look for food." Says Connor. "Yeah, because, we have just lost everything." Says Mark. "I know Mark, I know." Says Connor.

 

Later that night Mark was already sleeping, but Connor was leaning, against the wall wide awake. He looks around and then suddenly stands up to go and pee. He opens the pharmacy door, he only hears crickets, and the rest is just silence. He then went in the dark to pee on a tree that was in front of the pharmacy. When he was done and he was pulling his zip up, he suddenly hears a banging a on the door of the pharmacy. He turns around and sees it is a zombie that is trying to get Mark. He sighs, picks up a rock and whistle to get the zombie's attraction. The zombie immediately turns around and walk towards Connor. When the zombie was just almost right in front of Connor, Connor lifts up the rock and smashes the zombie's head in. He spits on him and then went back inside to sleep.

It was the next morning and the sun has just risen, everything is still quiet, except for the crows that are awake now. Connor wakes up, but as he wakes up he hears medicine bottles breaks, and pills falling everywhere. "Mark what the hell are you doing?" asks Connor as he stands up. "I'm looking for medicine, for if something happens." Says Mark. "Ok, but can you please just be quiet, and not making too much noise." Says Connor. "Yeah I…I should probably not make so much noise." Says Mark as he puts some pills in a bag. "What did you took?" asks Connor. "I took the common medicine, like for headache's flu etc." says Mark. "You know we should probably look for some baby supplies as well now that we are here, because when Susan is going to give birth she should at least have baby formula." Says Connor. "Oh yeah, hell I didn't even thought of looking at baby supplies." Says Mark. "Where did you find the bag?" asks Connor. "Here." Says Mark as he throws Connor a bag as well.  So Connor started to pack some baby formula and more supplies for a baby, so that they can give it to Susan if they find her. So about five minutes has passed and Connor and Mark had enough medicine and baby supplies, and now they can go looking for the others. "Ok, I think we have enough for awhile." Says Mark as he puts in the last bottle medicine in his bag. "Yeah I think we do indeed." Says Connor. "Good, so now we can go look for the rest." Says Mark as he picks up his gun and put it at the back of his pants. "Mark, slow down we…" says Connor when Mark interrupts him. "There is no time to slow down we have to go." Says Mark. "Yeah, I didn't said that we shouldn't go, I wanted…" says Connor when Mark interrupts him again. "But what? I'm going." Says Mark as he walks to the door. "Listen to me and stop interrupting me." Says Connor as he stops Mark from going outside. Mark gives a sighs and let Connor speaks.  "We don't have a plan of where we are exactly going to find them." Says Connor. "And?" asks Mark. "And. We need to figure out what places they could be, and where we should go and look first." Says Connor. "I already told you we are going back to Jason-Garhed." Says Mark. "And what if they are not there? Where do we go look then, or are we just going to search every place with hope to find them?" asks Connor. "I guess not." Says Mark as he staps a bit away from the door. "Ok, so what is your plan?" asks Mark. "Well, I figured we can go back to Jason-Garhed, but if they aren't there, we should maybe go and look at Ethan's helicopter, and then we can look for supplies there and then talk from there." Says Connor. "Ok, well if you think that's best then I'm with you." Says Mark. "Ok so let's go." Says Connor as he picks up his gun and went outside with Mark.

While Connor and Mark are on their way back to Jason-Garhed, they just talk crap like in the old days when everything was still normal. "So how are you so good with plans of where people can be if they disappear like now that the group is split up?" asks Mark as they continued on walking. "Ah well , I wouldn't consider myself good, but when Ethan and I were teenagers, and we went hunting with our father, we would always play Hide and Seek: Kidnapping version, and…" says Connor. "Kidnapping version?" asks Mark confused. "Yeah Ethan always called it Kidnapping version, because we always went to the same place when my dad went hunting, but that place was so fucking huge, and ugm…while our dad was hunting one of us should go and hide obviously, but we should hide in like in a 'secret' place just to make it more difficult, but Ethan usually hid in the same area as the previous times, but sometimes he hid like somewhere else and then I thought something m=actually did happened to him, and that's when Ethan came up with the Kidnapping version." Says Connor. "Oh, so you guys sounded like kind of naughty children when you were younger?" asks Mark. "Yeah, we were kind of. How about you?" asks Connor. "No, I kind of carried on, on my own, had about three friends and that's it. I was more of a loner." Says Mark. "You would never say it today." Says Connor. "Yeah I know, my own mom always said that she sometimes wonder if it's the same loner she had in her house." Says Mark. Connor just smiles.  Suddenly a zombie was lying on the floor, next to an hardware shop, and when Mark and Connor walked passed him he stands up and walks towards him. "Ah, in coming." Says Connor as he looks at the zombie heading their way. "I got him." Says Mark as he gets his gun and shoots the zombie in the head. "I hate when these fuckers creep up behind you." Says Mark. "Yeah, me too." Says Connor.

 

About seven more minutes later they finally arrived at Jason-Garhed. There is still a lot zombies there but the whole herd isn't there anymore. There are still little flames, but not too much, but there is still some dark smoke in the air, but more white smoke. "There is like nothing left." Says Mark. "Yeah well definitely nothing left of the hotel." Says Connor. "We mind as well just go then." Says Mark. "No why?" asks Connor. "Because there is nothing left." Says Mark. "We can at least just walk to the other gate and look around just to see if we something" says Connor. "Ok, fine." Says Mark, and they start to walk to the south gate (the gate where the main entrance were.). While they are walking Mark steps on something that almost looks like a weapon. He looks down, and picks it up, when he saw that it was Peter's wrench. "It's Peter's wrench." Says Mark. "Well, that doesn't mean that he is dead." Says Connor. "Yeah I hope not." Says Mark. So they went on walking when about three zombies heads their way. "Get ready." Says Connor. "I am." Says Mark as he sees Connor turns his gun the opposite way to smash the zombies head's in. So Mark is using Peter's wrench instead of using his gun. So Connor smashes the first zombie's head about three times. Mark followed his lead. And just when Connor starts to smashes the last zombie's head in Mark hears a gnarl behind him, and he turns around. When he saw that it was another zombie he immediately smashes his head in too. "Ok, that wasn't so bad." Says Connor. "No, at least we're faster than them." Says Mark. So they went on walking and when they got at the main entrance they saw five zombies eating on someone. "Oh god." Says Mark. "Shhh." Says Connor as he puts his hand in front of Mark to stop him from getting closer. Suddenly one of the zombies turns his head, and sees Connor and Mark, he the stands up and walks to them. Just when the first zombie stands them, and walks to them the four other zombies does it as well. "Ah shit." Says Connor as het gets his gun ready. Suddenly Connor shoots the first zombie. After that Mark shoots the second and all of them went on shooting the zombies until all five were dead. After they have killed the zombies Mark went on his knees to see who their were eating. "Who is it? Can you see?" asks Connor. "Yeah, it looks like Stan." Says Mark with a sigh. "Poor fella." Says Connor. "Yeah if he hadn't punched me in the face I would maybe had another emotion right now, but yeah he did turn himself over, so yeah, poor guy." Says Mark and gets up. "Well at least we know that everyone made it out." Says Connor. "Yeah, thank god." Says Mark. "Ok, so next stop the helicopter." Says Connor. "Yeah." Says Mark. "Come on, let's go." Says Connor. So Mark and Connor went to Ethan's helicopter to see if anyone was there.

There is two crows eating a zombie's chopped off arm. Otherwise it's pretty quiet at the helicopter. "Damn, but it's quiet here." Says Mark. "Yeah it is, but still be careful just for in case."  Says Connor. "Ok." Says Mark. "Ok let's go search the helicopter." Says Connor. So Connor holds his gun just for if something happens. They slowly approach the helicopter. When Mark and Connor was standing right in front Connor looks at Mark, and then he slowly opens the door. Suddenly someone from the inside kicks the door, and Connor fells on the ground. Mark gets out his gun to shoot the person and just when he was ready he saw that it was Ethan, with a piece of pipe in his hand. "Connor?" asks Ethan as he looks at Connor on the ground. "Yes it's me, goddamn you almost fucking broke my nose." Says Connor as he touches his eyebrow that is bleeding. "Oh come on I was far away from your nose." Says Ethan and helps Connor up. "Hey little brother." says Connor and give Ethan a brother's hug. "Hey bro, thank god you're ok." Says Ethan. "Yeah you too." Says Connor. "And Mark you too." Says Ethan and gives him a brother hug too. "Yeah man, same too you." Says Mark. "Sorry about your eyebrow." Says Ethan. "It's fine, it's just a cut." Says Connor. "See I didn't took all that shit back at the pharmacy for nothing." Says Mark. "Yeah" says Connor. "So is it just you?" asks Ethan. "Yeah, but Mary was with me on our way to escape, but I think grabbers blocked her and she had to go another way." Says Connor. "We will find her Connor, and the for Alexa and the rest." Says Ethan. "Nah, Alexa can take care of herself, I'm more worried about the kids." Says Mark. "I'm sure their fine, Mark." Says Ethan. "And what about you? Did you escaped with someone?" asks Connor. "No, I escaped alone, but I did saw Peter and Nathan together, but that's all I saw, it all happened so fast." Says Ethan. "Yeah it did." Says Mark. "You were here the whole time?" asks Connor. "Yeah, that was like the only place I could have thought of during that time." Says Ethan. "Yeah, we were…" says Mark when there was about eight zombies heading their way. "Come on." Says Ethan as he gets in the helicopter. So Connor and Mark climbs in the helicopter as well, and Ethan closes the door. "Why didn't we just kill them?" asks Connor. "We have to safe ammo." Says Ethan. "We can smash their heads in." says Mark. "Yeah, well leave them for now, we can rest for awhile." Says Ethan, as he opens up a pack of peanuts. "Where the fuck did you got that?" asks Connor. "I kept it in the helicopter about just when I left the helicopter at the store back in LA." Says Ethan. "Do you some more?" asks Connor. "Yeah I got gummy bears and another pack of peanuts." Says Ethan. "You can give me the gummy bears." Says Mark. So Ethan gives Mark the gummy bears and Connor the peanuts. "So you wanted to say?" asks Ethan. "What?" asks Mark confused. "About where you two were." Says Ethan. "Oh yeah we were, at the pharmacy where Alexa, Susan and Mary went for the medicine, we stayed there for the night and took some supplies with us, and then we started searching for the rest." Says Mark. "Yeah, we first went to see if anybody was maybe at Jason-Garhed, but there was nothing but Peter's wrench." Says Connor. "Oh ok, and then you came here?" asks Ethan. "Yes." Says Mark. "What about brother, did you went searching yet?" asks Connor. "No, but whenever you guys want to we can go and look for them." Says Ethan. "Yeah, we can go a little bit later." Says Mark. "Oh I thought you wated to search for everyone so badly?" says Connor. "I was, am still, but I'm just want to sit down for awhile and eat my fucking snacks, besides we did found Ethan." Says Mark as he leans back on the chair. "Oh, I also have this." Says Ethan as he gets out a bottle of whiskey. "Did you left it in here as well?" asks Connor. "No this I had in my office, I took  it just before we went on the flight." Says Ethan. "No wonder no one caught you." Says Connor. "Susan did." Says Ethan. "Really?" asks Mark. "Yeah that's when we had our first kiss, and if she didn't stopped me all of you probably would have caught me having sex." Says Ethan. "Ok, let's not go too far now." Says Connor and giggles.

It was later that night and none of them has kept looking for the rest that day, they were all talking crap and drinking some clean whiskey. "Hey Connor remember that asshole Jahn Re Hu from Korea, how he always said How are you as "Gow har how"?" asks Ethan and laughs. "Yeah, but why is that even funny?" asks Connor. "I don't know, I probably had enough whiskey for the night." Says Ethan and puts away the bottle of whiskey. "I'm gonna pee. Anyone want to come along?" asks Mark. "I will stretch  my legs." Says Ethan and stands up and open the door.

 

While Mark is peeing Ethan is looking for zombie's for if they approach. "So…we never even went looking for the rest today." Says Ethan. "Yeah I know, but definitely should go tomorrow." Says Mark. "Yeah, I agree, we can't wait too long." Says Ethan. "Yeah, don't worry I will let Connor know that we both agreed to go as soon as we can tomorrow to go search for them." Says Mark as he pulls back up his zip and turns around. "Ok." Says Ethan and they start walking back to the helicopter. "Hey Connor we agreed to go as soon as we can tomorrow to go and find the others." Says Mark when Ethan opens the helicopter door. "Yeah sure, we were supposed to go today, but I suppose we can go tomorrow." Says Connor. "Hey, the two of you also knew what I said earlier so you guys could have stepped up and said that we should go and find the others now." Says Mark. "We are just messing with you, but yeah we should really go and find the others tomorrow." Says Connor. So the three of them went to sleep.

It was the next morning about eleven am and Mark, Connor and Peter was still sleeping, and suddenly there was a loud sound, coming from a couple of blocks away. Crows fly away, and the three of them wakes up and suddenly sits up straight. "What the fuck was that?" asks Ethan. "It sounded like an explosion." Says Connor. "But where can that be?" asks Mark. Suddenly some smoke in the air tracks Ethan's attention. "Over there." Says Ethan as he points to the smoke I the air. "It is not that far about what, 5miles?" asks Connor. "Yeah if you can guess that." Says Ethan. "Well let's go." Says Mark as he gets his stuff. "Ok, just hold on now." Says Ethan. "What if that was Mary? Or Alexa? Or even Fabiana? If it was them we have to go, and even if it wasn't we at least tried." Says Mark. "Ok, let we just get our stuff." Says Ethan as he picks up his pipe. "I'm going so long." Says Mark as he opens the door. "Mark hold on." Says Connor. Mark doesn't listen and starts to run that way, where the smoke is coming from. "MARK! Son of a bitch. Come on Ethan!" says Connor as he went outside to try and catch Mark. Ethan quickly stands up, closes the door and followed the rest. "Mark slow down." Says Connor as he runs behind Mark, trying to catch him. "Mark!" says Connor as he finally caught up with Mark and stops him. "What?" asks Mark. "Slow down. Ok don't get exhausted already, let's just walk fast, but there is no need to run." Says  Connor. "I know it's just if it is someone in our group, and that was an explosion, maybe one of them are hurt." Says Mark. "Hey will be there in no time." Says Connor. "Ok" says Mark with a sigh. So the three of them went on walking to where the explosion was coming from. "What do you think it could be?" asks Ethan. "I don't know probably gas or something." Says Connor. "Yeah maybe like a gas station or something." Says Mark. And they went on talking but walking at the same time.

After awhile they have already walked like three miles, they were getting nervous that it may have been someone in their group that got hurt. "No, what if it was someone in the group, and he or she may be hurt right now." Says Mark nervously.  "We're almost there, Mark." Says Connor. "Yeah, hopefully we'll make it in time, and we're not too late." Says Mark. "We won't." says Ethan. Suddenly they here a gunshot goes off. "Holy shit!" says Ethan. "It's coming from where the explosion was from." Says Connor. "There is definitely people over there. COME ON!" says Mark and starts to run that way. This time Connor didn't stop him, but instead he and Ethan runs too and go to where the gunshot was heard.

There is blood all over Sarah's hands, and blood splashes on her face. Nicole is still crying as well as Charli-April, while Susan tries to calm them down. "Sarah…" says Fabiana as she tries to put her hand on her shoulder, when Sarah interrupts her. "What?" asks Sarah. "Are you ok?" asks Fabiana. Some tears floats out of Sarah's eyes, and she says,  "Does it looks like I'm ok?" asks Sarah. Fabiana is speechless and didn't know what do say. "I'm sorry, I am just sick of this world already, Christopher that are cannibals, and Mary that's dead, we've already lost much more than we deserve." Says Sarah. "I know." Says Fabiana. "And I'm sorry for keep going when you told me too stop, I was just so furious at that moment, and I kind of thought that he deserves it." Says Sarah. "It's ok, and you should remember that he did deserve that, anybody that were as sick of them doesn't deserves to live." Says Fabiana. "Yeah, but that's not what bothers me…" says Sarah as she leans closer to Fabiana to whisper. "I did it in front of Nicole." says Sarah. "And?" asks Fabiana. "What if she's scared of me now? Or what if she thinks that I'm the monster." Says Sarah. "Trust me Sarah, you are the only person who let Nicole feels safe right now." Says Fabiana. "I hope so." Says Sarah as she turns around to Nicole. Nicole is still crying but she has calmed down a bit. "Sarah?" asks Nicole. "Hey Nicole." Says Sarah with a smile. "Are you ok?" asks Nicole as she gives Sarah a hug. "Yes, I am, Nicole. Are you ok? I didn't frightened you or anything?" asks Sarah. "A little bit, but I know you protected me." Says Nicole as Sarah starts to cry because she realises that Nicole looks up at her as a hero. "Ok, as long as you're happy, I'm happy." Says Sarah. "Susan how about you?" asks Fabiana as she went to sit next to Susan. "I'm fine, she's also fine right now." Says Susan as she stares  at Charli-April's ocean blue eyes.  "Luckily she's to young to remember all of this." Says Fabiana. "I hope so, but she's going to see much worse later on in this world." Says Susan. "Yeah, unfortunately." Says Fabiana. "Well we should probably do something about this mess." Says Susan as she looks at Christopher's body as well as Angela's. "Yeah." Says Fabiana.  "We should bury Mary." Says Sarah. "We don't have anything to bury her with." Says Fabiana. "So are we just going to leave her hear for the grabbers?" asks Sarah. "No, we can put her inside the gas station, maybe in the bathroom, where they can't get her and cover her with something." Says Fabiana. "Ok, but what are going to cover her with?" asks Susan. "We ca cover her face and upper body with my jacket." Says Fabiana. "Ok so let's do that then." Says Sarah. "Wait, we are probably going to have too…you know stop her from coming back." Says Susan for Fabiana. "Ok, but let me do it." Says Fabiana with a sigh. The other two doesn't even says anything, when Fabiana stands up with her knife. Sarah let Nicole look away as Fabiana quickly stabs Mary in the head, for stopping her from becoming a zombie. After that they picked her up and took her to the bathroom.

Sarah is busy getting their supplies ready to get a move along, and go look for the others, she has also cleaned her face and hands. Susan as taking of the towel of her stomach, because she has stopped bleeding, and Fabiana is helping Sarah to hold Charli-April. "You sure the bleeding has stopped?" asks Fabiana. "Yeah it looks like it, but I still have a cut from where Charli-April came out of." Says Susan. "Do you want to cover it up with something?" asks Fabiana. "No, I…" says Susan as she stops loosing balance. "Woah, Susan sit down, sit down." Says Fabiana as she helps Susan to sit down. "Sarah bring her some water." Says Fabiana. Suddenly Sarah gets some water out of a bag and gives it to Susan. "Ah…thank you…" says Susan. "Fabiana what's wrong with her?" asks Sarah as she sees Susan looking very pale. "I thinks she is starting to loose too much blood." Says Fabiana. "No, no, please Susan don't you leave us now too." Says Susan. "She can still wait out a little bit longer, but we have to keep moving to get some help, maybe find someone else who can put in stitches for her." Says Fabiana. "Ok well then let's go." Says Sarah as she puts in the last bottle of water in the bag. "Sarah can you please, carry Charli-April, then I'll let Susan lean on me?" asks Fabiana as she hands Charli-April over to Sarah. "Sure" says Sarah as she takes Charli-April. "Ok so we're going back to Jason-Garhed, just to see if someone is there, and if no ones there we keep on going." Says Fabiana.  "Ok." Says Sarah. So Sarah was holding Charli-April, while she holds Nicole's hand, and Sarah was leaning with her one arm over Fabiana to help her keep her balance, and they went back to Jason-Garhed to look for the others.

 

On their way Susan is still looking pale and looks like she's going to pass out, but luckily they covered her stomach back up with the towel. "Susan how are you feeling?" asks Sarah. "I feel like…I'm going to pass…out…" says Susan as she leans on Fabiana. "No, you better stay with us, if you pass out now there is a big chance that you won't wake up again." Says Fabiana. "Fabiana why weren't you a doctor?" asks Sarah. "Being a doctor was never my thing, but like I said my mother only taught me a few things and unfortunately she didn't got the chance to tell me about stitches." Says Fabiana. "At least we have you and my mom as doctor's" says Sarah. "I won't say that I'm as good as your mother." Says Fabiana. "Well, for someone who's not a doctor you know a lot." Says Sarah. "Thanks, Sarah." Says Fabiana. Suddenly they here a stick crack, and they stop walking. "Did you hear that?" asks Fabiana. "Yes." Says Sarah. "God dammit, let's hide here." Says Fabiana as she walks to a small bush. "Sarah hold Susan, I got this." Says Fabiana as she let Susan lean over Sarah. "You sure?" asks Sarah. "Yes, I'm sure, you guys just stay here." Says Fabiana as she gets out her knife ready to attack. It sounded like something that are coming fast, like someone running or something. Just when the person running wanted to cross Fabiana she jumps in front of them with a knife. "Fabiana?" asks Mark. "Mark?" asks Fabiana and gives him a hug. "Dad?" asks Sarah quietly, while she slowly gets up with the baby and Susan. "Daddyyy!" says Nicole as she runs to Mark. "Oh, my god, hey baby girl." Says Mark as he picks Nicole a hug and a kiss on the forehead. Fabiana went to give Connor and Ethan a hug too. "Dad?" asks Sarah. "Oh my god, Sarah." Says Mark and gives Sarah a hug and a kiss too. "Hey Susan." Says Mark and gives Susan a hug too. "Hey…Mark…" says Susan. "What's wrong?" asks Mark. "She had a baby as you can see, but she is now loosing too much blood." Says Sarah. "Oh, uh, we were at the pharmacy we got some stuff, even one pack of stitches, but we can only do it with Alexa." Says Mark. "It's…ok…I can still…keep going." Says Susan. "You sure?" asks Mark. "…Yes…" says Susan. Is that she?" asks Mark as he looks at Charli-April in Sarah's arms. "Yes, this is Charli-April." Says Sarah as he hands her to Mark. Mark puts down Nicole and takes Charli-April. So Connor and Ethan also came to say hi to Sarah and Susan. "Hey Connor" says Sarah. 'Hey." Says Connor and gives Sarah a hug. "Hey, babe." Says Ethan and gives Susan a kiss. "Hey Ethan…I'm glad you are…okay." Says Susan. "Yeah, me too and the baby." Says Ethan. "Thanks." Says Susan. "Yeah congratulations." Says Connor and give Susan a hug too, while Ethan goes and says hi too Sarah and Nicole. "Well we don't have any more time to waste, let's go to Jason-Garhed." Says Fabiana. "There is nobody there." Says Ethan. "What?" asks Fabiana. "We were there, there is nobody there." Says Mark. "Well, then were going further on, to see if anybody else maybe went that way." Says Fabiana. "We were at the pharmacy, and…" says Ethan. "And, some of them might have gone further on." Says Fabiana. "Yeah, I'm with Fabiana." Says Connor. "Ok then we go then." Says Mark. "Yes, because Alexa could be there, or Peter, or maybe Mary as well." Says Connor excited. Susan looks at Sarah and Sarah looks at Fabiana in a shocked face. Fabiana sighs and says, "Connor, I don't know how to tell this to you, but…". "But what?" asks Connor. Fabiana sighs again and says, "Mary… Mary found us, and she was with her, but then Christopher came, and… and he shot her, and…I'm sorry Connor, I'm so sorry Connor" and then Fabiana starts to cry again. "No, no. NO!" says Connor as he went on his knees and cries. "I'm going to kill that asshole. I swear I'm going to fucking kill him!" says Connor in anger and sadness. "There's no need to, Connor…we already took care of them, or actually Sarah did." Says Fabiana. "You killed Christopher?" asks Mark. "Dad, I was so mad at the time, and was just trying to protect…" says Sarah as Mark interrupts her. "Trying to protect your sister, I know. I'm proud of you for taking such good care of her, and the rest of the people you care about." Says Mark. "Thanks dad," says Sarah in tears. "I'm sorry Connor." Says Ethan as he puts his hand on Connor's shoulder. Connor sniffs and says, "Where is she now?". "We covered her body up, and put her in a safe place where no grabbers can get her." Says Fabiana. "I want to see her." Says Connor as he stands up. "No, Connor not now." Says Ethan as he tries to stop Connor. "I want to see my wife right NOW!" says Connor, and suddenly Sarah steps in front of him. "We will take you to her, but first we need to get Susan help, before we loose her too. Please, Connor, I know how it feels to loose someone close to you, but please let us just safe Susan's life first." Says Sarah. Connor stands there and stare at nothing, with tears in his eyes, and says, "Ok, but when Susan is helped I just want to say goodbye to her.". So Connor turns around, and they went back to Jason-Garhed to find the others. Susan was now leaning with her one arm on Fabiana and her other arm on Ethan, while Sarah holds Nicole's hand, and Mark carrying Charli-April.

The time has passed and it is almost noon. Mark, Connor, Ethan, Fabiana, Nicole, Sarah and Charli-April has already passed Jason-Garhed and the pharmacy and are now like six miles away from the pharmacy already. While they were walking they see some smoke in the air, but it is like a campfire smoke. They walked further when they saw a fire around the corner with some people. Just when they wanted to get closer one of the people that were patrolling almost saw them and they went to hide behind some trees. But just when they all hid the person that were patrolling saw them, and called them out. "HEY!" says the guy and holds up his shotgun. Miranda, that were sitting around the campfire, turns her head to the guy that is patrolling, and when she sees that his shotgun was ready to aim and shoot, she also stands up with her gun. Jolene, Alexa, Peter and Benny stands up as well with their weapons and went to stand at the guy that were patrolling. "Come on out we have already saw you." Says Miranda. "We have to show ourselves." Whispers Ethan. "I know, but everybody just play it cool." Whispers Mark. So all of them slowly comes out behind the trees with their hands in the air. "Ok, drop your weapons." Says Miranda while Alexa sees who it was. "No! Don't." says Alexa as she stops Miranda. "These are the rest of my group!" says Alexa with a smile.
