The survivors arrived at Rayford in Jimmy Gibbs Junior's stock car.
"I hate small towns." said Francis.
"Francis. Why do you hate small towns?" asked Bill.
"Because they can't keep up with the rest of society. They're weak."
"Jesus Christ."
"Hello down there!" a voice interrupted their thoughts.
The survivors looked up at the bridge. They saw two people standing on it. One of them was a young man in his early twenties. The other was a black woman who wore a pink shirt.
"Hello up there!'' shouted Bill. "We're trying to cross the bridge."
"I'm sorry! We can't!" said the woman. "We lost a member! Our other guy's injured! I'm Rochelle by the way!"
"Folks call me Ellis!" said the man.
Zoey looked over at Ellis. She found him handsome.
"You can pass by the generator! We can cover you!" said Rochelle.
"Thanks angel!" shouted Francis.
Ellis also studied Zoey.
"She is so beautiful." he thought.
"He is so handsome." thought Zoey.
"Thanks again!" yelled Bill.
The survivors walked away to pass through the alternate route.
Meanwhile, Ellis and Rochelle walked back to their resting spot.
"Who was it?" a deep voice asked.
"It was another group. Like us." said Rochelle.
"Ellis? Are you okay?" the injured man asked.
"She is so beautiful." said Ellis.
"He must have a crush on a girl from that other group." said Rochelle.
"Coach? Can coaches marry people?" asked Ellis towards the injured man.
"No, Ellis." said Coach.
