The Walking Dead: Just Stay Alive
Season 1 Episode 7: Humanity
Jordan and Nathan continued off road and were forced into the woods by walkers coming at them from the sides. Jordan tried to follow Nathan with every twist and turn but the trees and walker obstacles became too much and the two both crashed. Jordan went right into a tree and fell off his bike. He stared upwards as walkers began to surround him, and he blacked out.
Jordan woke up to the crackling of a fire and the night sky. He propped himself up on his elbows and looked around. Laying down passed out next to the fire was Nathan. Jordan sat up and checked himself all over making sure no walker got him. Eventually he let out a sigh of relief and laid back down.
"I thought I lost you." Nathan said with a chuckle.
"What can I say. I pulled a George of the Jungle." Jordan said chuckling back.
"Well we're gonna have to keep moving in the mornin'." Nathan said.
"What about the others?" Jordan asked, worried for his family.
"We have the radios. Don't worry." Nathan said. "Since you had your little nap, you can keep watch."
. . .
Nathan and Jordan traveled through the woods as Nathan pushed one of the motorcycles along. Jordan carried the two backpacks full of ammo, food, and water. He stared at the ground as he walked, as he began to wish more and more he was with his family.
"Stop being such a pussy. You'll see them again." Nathan said, as if he was reading Jordan's mind.
"How do you know though? They could've been stuck in the middle of that thing." Jordan said, coming to a stop, and sitting under a tree.
"Trust me. I know. I saw them get away." Nathan said, dropping the bike and taking a seat next to Jordan. "If it makes you feel better I'll radio out. Okay?" Nathan said, taking out the radio. He turned it on, held the button, and began to speak into it.
"George, Alicia, Andrew, anyone there?" Nathan asked. He got nothing back but static and sighed.
"Well shit." Jordan said.
"In case anyone is listening. We meet at the Parthenon. Once everyone is there we continue for Atlanta." Nathan said over the radio. He placed it back on his jacket as a rustling could be heard from one of the bushes. Jordan pulled out his gun, only to hear the clicking of another gun being cocked.
"Don't move, and we don't shoot." a voice said.
"Put any weapons you have down on the ground in front of you." a second voice said. Jordan looked at Nathan who nodded. Nathan placed his FAL, knife, and handgun on the ground as Jordan did the same with his knife and snub nose revolver.
"Is it clear?" one of the voices asked.
"It's clear." the other responded. Two people walked out from the bushes aiming shotguns right at Jordan and Nathan.
"Sorry about this. You never can be too careful." one said. He had long blonde hair and a blonde goatee to go with it. "The name's Wes."
"I'm Carlos." the other said. He had short black hair and had dark stubble growing. "What are you two doing out here?" Carlos asked.
"We're just moving along. Trying to get to our group." Nathan said.
"Oh really." Wes said giving Carlos a look. "You guys got a camp? We have a small group, It's getting hard to protect them ya know. A camp would really help."
"No. No camp." Jordan said.
"So where are your people at if you have no camp?" Carlos asked.
"Around." Nathan said.
"Look. If we were gonna rob you, or kill you, it would be done already." Wes said, placing his shotgun on the ground. "See?"
Carlos did the same as Jordan and Nathan moved closer to their weapons.
"If we were to kill other people… well we'd just lose all connections to humanity, now wouldn't we?" Carlos said laughing.
"Yeah, I guess we would." Nathan said, he placed his knife and handgun in their holsters and held the FAL in his hands. Jordan put his knife away and kept his gun out.
"Look. We can help you. You can stay with us and our people." Wes said.
"How would that help us? We need to get to our people, not meet new ones." Nathan said.
"It'd be better for you guys. Instead of wondering around like headless chickens looking for dead people." Carlos said.
"They aren't dead." Jordan said angered. He aimed his gun at Wes, who immediately put his hands up.
"We didn't want to have to do this." Wes said. A rustling could be heard in the bushes behind Jordan and Nathan. Jordan turned around to see another man hit Nathan in the head with a shovel. He aimed his gun at him, as a fourth man appeared, knocking out Jordan.
Jordan woke up in the back of an SUV. He looked around to see Nathan with his hands tied up, a woman, and another man.
"Where the hell are we?" Jordan whispered to Nathan.
"I don't got a clue." Nathan said frustrated.
"Oh you two were forced into this too?" the man asked.
"I guess you could say that." Jordan said.
"Well these guys are taking us to their camp. Really, I think they're just gonna take our shit, and kill us." the woman said.
"They seemed friendly. They're probably just scared." the man tried to reason.
"Where's their camp?" Nathan asked.
"Nashville. The Parthenon." the woman replied.
Sneak Peek:
Andrew and Nick ran over and held the door closed as walkers tried to pour into the RV.
"Find something to barricade the door with!" Nick yelled.
"Darnell quickly!" Andrew ordered. Nick and Andrew began losing their grips as the door opened, and the two fell to the ground.
