Coach saw Ellis as an immature, inexperienced nuisance, Nick as some irritating redneck, and Rochelle as a childish, playful, younger brother. But none of them had ever thought of him as a monster... Until CEDA stepped in.

At an all time low in life, Nick heads south with no destination in mind. What he discovers along the way is not only a talent he can use, but an enthusiastic child whose own talents help Nick get back on the road to a better future. Pre-Apoc.

Nick-centric continuation of L4D2. At least twice a day he would trace a finger over the faded highways that stretched over the map in his hands. Every step he took could very well be in the wrong direction, but he had to take it. He had to find them. Language, violence, adult situations. Original characters. No pairings, just friendship. Complete. Thank you for reading!
