The Mallrats wake up and eat they continue to the city in the period of 2 hours they finally walk in the mall.

"Anyone here!" Amber yells

"We're here!!" Trudy comes out holding Brady.

Oren comes out with a boy who looked about Ray's age, an about 7 year old girl, and an about a 9 year old boy.

"Who are they?" Cloe says.

Trudy looks at the three newbies.

"This is Darius." Oren points to the one that looked Ray's age.

"This is Mouse and that is Charlie." Trudy points to the 2 other kids.

"Well welcome." Amber says.

"Any luck sis?" Oren says.

"No we lost some Bray, Jack, Ebony, and we think Tai-san got hit pretty hard she lost her memory." She remembers Ray. "And Ray was wounded badly he hasn't woke up but he is alive." Amber walks to her room. "She must feel very bad Bray isn't here anymore." Oren says with a hint of happiness he never liked Bray anyways. Oren goes to comfort his sister and smiles at Salene.

Lex and Zandra go in their room Lex lays Ray on his bed. "I have to find out a way to get him up." Lex says. "Baby don't work yourself up to hard you hurt yourself." Zandra rubs Lex's arm he abruptly throws he hand off and stands up. "Lex!" Zandra says.

"What I not in the mood!" Lex walks out the room he looks around for one of Tai-San's healing herb things he couldn't find any he leaves the mall in search of a doctor or a med.

Ebony wakes up she sees Jack talking to some guy. "Where am I?" Ebony looks around Jack sees her up. "Ebony we were left for dead the mallrats they left us there and Bray is dead." Jack was pissed.

"I knew Amber would try to kill me off the list. And I don't care about Bray anymore I'm more worried about Oren." Ebony stands up and leans on Jack.

"Well I joined their tribe their called the Gaians or the Ecos tribe." Jack smiles.

"Who found us?" Ebony says.

"Their leader Pride." Jack says.

Pride walks up to them.

"Hey Ebony, Jack you two ok?"

"I am for sure.' Jack says he goes to eat.

"And Ebony your new name for the tribe is Panther Jack is Falcon." Pride smiles and puts his arm around Ebony's arm she felt a pure happiness go through her body. From that moment she knew he was the one for her hand went up and patted his chest it felt perfect to her. "I'll see you at dinner." Pride gets his stuff and leaves camp. Ebony goes and eats some food and talks to her fellow Ecos.

Lex thought about how he acted to Zandra he gave up on finding a medic and walks back to the mall he sees Zandra crying in the cafe area he runs up the stairs and goes behind her. "Zan I'm sorry please don't cry." Zandra looks at him and scowls. "It's not because of that it because....because....Ray has the virus."

Lex swallowed spit and starts to feel dizzy. "What?!"

"He has the virus." Zandra lays her head on the table, Lex wants to comfort her but there was something he had to something important.
