Previously on The Walking Dead
"Please don't touch anything." Will told them as they looked around the lab. "So this is where you work?" Quinn asked.
"Yeah..." He muttered and went to his desk. Will then shows them something on the monitor.
"Now look at this, and pay attention because what I'm about to show is something about those things outside." He explained and the screen began to explains on how a person becomes a walker.
"This is the process. When the person is dead, everything I mean everything inside the bodies that makes them people are gone. And they come back as just an empty shell with nothing. They just walking around, with nothing, no brain, no soul nothing. As far as they know that's all they do. That is what made them like that." Will explained. The others just watching in horror as Will explaining how the brain works along with the body parts. They could only shake their heads in disbelief. Their world, the world who once they love is gone with only the dead leff.
Will then powers down the main room and tell them about the facility running out of fuel.
"VI what happens when there's no more power?" Santana asked after hearing what Will said about the powers.
"When there's no more power and all the power has been depleted then Full Wide Decontamination will occur." VI explained.
Every single eye on the room widened as VI explaining how the system works. "Decontamination? What the hell does that mean?" Sugar asked, breaking the silence once Will was out of the room. "I don't know but i don't like it." Quinn said pondering.
"Let's just check down there and see what we can do." Santana said. With that they headed down to the basement.
"What is this?" Puck asked once he spotted the fuel tank and found there's no more fuel.
"This is not good..." Sam said. "What the hell are you talking about?" Sugar asked and Sam was about to say something when the VI's voice cut her off. "Emergency power activated." VI said.
"Oh no..." Brody muttered.
Back in The doctor's office. Will looks at a picture of his wife. "I thought I could have more time about all these things. But I guess that time is up now." The doctor said.
Suddenly all the lights starts to turn off, Will looked around and just took a deep breath.
"Hey. What's going on?" Tina asked getting out of her room. "I have no idea." Holly said in confusion. Everyone the gets out of their rooms to find out what's going on.
They go back to the Main room where the doctor was, "Hey what's going on?" Leroy asked.
"The Place is shutting itself down." The Doctor said still not looking at them. "Shut down... look I'm talking to you what can the building do?" Leroy asked starting to lose his cool.
"A whole lot of things." The Doctor answered and walks to his lab on the main room while the rest following behind.
"This building is run by the fossil fuel and it seems that it's almost gone." Doctor Will explained. When they were about to ask more question the alarm sets off.
They looked around panicking as the alarm still off around them. "Rachel, Brittany grab your things. Everyone we're getting out of here NOW!" Santana shouted. They all about to comply and get out of the room but The Doctor beat them to it as he quickly used a key card and a password to shut them in.
"What the hell?!" Puck shouted. "Did he just lock us in?!" Sugar added. "Shit..." Brody muttered. Rachel, Marley, Tina, Holly and Brittany was looking at the doctor in horrid.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Leroy yelled and tried to yank The Doctor away from the computers. Will backing up as Leroy about to hit him and everyone holds him back.
"Will open the door." Santana said calmly even though she was freaking out herself.
"There's no point, everything top side is shut down already. The Emergency exits are sealed." Will said.
"Well then open the damn things!" Puck shouted, he was losing his cool by now. "Goddamn! Just open it you asshole!" Quinn joined in, shouting at the Doctor.
"That's not something I can do – the computers does that. I told you once that door closed it can't be open... It's better this way." Will said.
"For whom? And what happen in 28 minutes?" Santana asked looking at the time runner.
"The HIT will be activated." Was all Will said. "HIT?" Sam and Brody asked in the same time.
"VI explain..." Will ordered and VI explains what it is.
"Oh god..." Quinn muttered and gave Rachel a hug which Rachel did the same in back. "It will set the air on fire..." Sam muttered in disbelief.
10 minutes and Leroy keep trying to break through the gate with an axe. "Goddammit!"
"Santana you said yourself that it's only a matter of time." Will said. "Not like this. My sister and i don't want this." Cassie said, crying as she hugged her sister.
"Sam you're some computer geek obviously you're the smartest people in here. Can you somehow hack the system?" Brody asked.
Sam turned to look at the bulky boy, "I'm an I.T Technician not a miracle worker and this certainly isn't some computer game beside it's a four digit code you do the math we don't have that kind of time." San explained to them all.
Quinn then took her shotgun and pointed it at Will's face. "You open the damn door! Or I swear to God, I'm going to end you right now." She threatened. She wasn't about to die like this not with Rachel, she wouldn't lose another little girl in her life. Santana stepped forward, "Quinn, calm down... Let's talk this through." Santana muttered, she wasn't about to make Quinn lose it again just like what she did inside the woods. She knew Quinn would do just that if they keep pushing her button and everyone do the same, trying to tell her to calm down.
"I'm not playing here Doc!" She shouted, goes crazy and starts blasting the computers right by him.
Santana and Puck then pushes her on the ground. "Stop it!" Santana hissed as Puck hold her down while Santana stands up and goes to Will.
"You chose the hard path why?" She asked. "It doesn't matter." Will muttered, looking anywhere but the Latina. "Yes it does matter. You stayed when everyone else left – why is that?" Santana tried again then finally Will turned his head and looked at her. "Not because I wanted to. I made a promise to her." He explained as he pointed at the monitor. "My wife." He finished.
"Subject 19 she was your wife." Brittany said and it wasn't a question, she simply stated.
Will looked away, "She begged me to keep going as long as I could. How could I say no to that? She was dying – it should've been me on that table but no it wasn't. She could've done something not me." Will explained.
"Your wife didn't have a choice, you do. That's what we want a choice – a chance." Holly said.
"And you're not the only one who made promises." Santana said. She the takes the photo of Rachel's Family out of her pocket. "Look at this picture. This is her real family, and I'm not that. I promised her that I would help find them and for her they may still be alive looking for her. And I want that chance to find them not for me but for her. I'm begging you... Please..." Santana said.
"Let us keep trying as long as we can." Brittany added.
Will then looked at them. And he walked to the key pad and opened the gate. "I wish you all the best." He muttered and got back to his seat. "COME ON LET'S GO!" Leroy yelled. "Thank you.." Santana muttered as she gave Will a small nod and everyone starts running out.
Everyone was now in the front of the building trying to break the window but there was no way to break the it anytime soon.
Tina then takes out a Grenade that she found in Jesse's bag a couple days ago. She then handed it to Puck quickly. "Everyone get back and down on the ground!" He shouted and he sets it off blowing the window open.
"Come on! Let's go!" Quinn and Sam yelled and they all run outside getting to their vehicles as fast as they can. Killing some walkers all the way out. As they make it to their vehicles, they saw The Doctor running out of the building. They had 10 seconds late. "EVERYBODY GET DOWN!" Santana yelled and just with that The building goes up in flame, destroying the entire building. Will quickly got in Santana's car. The Latina gave her a little nod. "You did the right thing. You took your chance." She told him. Will just nodded and smiled at her. "I guess you're right. She wouldn't want me to end up just like that." He said, looked out of the window. Rachel gave him a hug, smiling at the Doctor.
Everyone gets back up and sees the untold destruction of the facility. After a brief minute, everyone set their vehicles on and ready to drive off.
Out in the outskirts of Ohio, Santana stilol trying to contact her Captain Sue Sylvester on the Walkie Talkie. "I guess I'm losing hope that you can hear me but there's always that chance right? It's always about slim chances now. I tried to do everything right and keep people safe. I tried Captain, you always told me to trust my instinct and I did just that but now our Group is smaller and smaller every day. We lost another day before last. And I met a man there's a scientist and it may still hope out there because he changed his mind and decided to fight again. The CDC was a dead end though. It doesn't matter – what matter is that we're keep moving on. Columbus is done, we're gonna try for Akron or Cleveland according to one of our people, we're facing a long hard journey. Maybe even harder than what we've already been through can it? 125 miles that's what lies ahead and I'm trying hard not to lose Faith, if I do the others will, that little girl, and there's this woman but I'll tell you about her later. There's only a few of us now, we got to stick together fight for each other, be willing to lay down our lives for each other. If it comes down to that... It's the only chance we got... be careful out there Cap. I hope you and the others are okay. Stay off the road and keep moving just be safe." Santana said finishing her speech.
Puck was driving in a van, with Santana, Rachel, Brittany, Marley, and Jake.
"You know Puckerman, I've been thinking about our trip to Grand Canyon. The ones the boss planning us to do for the rest of the squad but we never do." Santana said. "I don't remember about that." Puck muttered. "Of course you're not Puckerman, all you did was hitting on some chicks and stuff like that." Santana sneered making the others laugh.
Santana then goes on with the story of it. "Do you think we could go to the Grand Canyon? I would like to." Rachel said. "Yeah, that'll be great." Marley joined in as Jake nodded his head. "Yeah I agree, that would be awesome." Brittany said excitedly. "Can all of us go?" Rachel asked in serious tone. Santana chuckled and nodded her head. "Of course sweetheart. We'd never go without you or Brittany or Marley or Jake that's a promise." Santana said looking at her.
"I also got another funny story, My mother played the tuba, she was a small lady but she was able to carry it... so on April fools day me and my brother thought it would be funny to fill her tuba up with flowers when she plays it the next day. But on the exact same day, my mother thought it would be funny to wake us up for school on the weekend after we filled her tuba up with the flowers." Brittany said.
"What happened?" Rachel asked, excited to hear the rest of the story. "It's what you expect, we got covered in flowers all the way from head to the toe." Brittany finished and everyone laughs over the story.
In the R.V, Holly, Brody, Cassie, Tina, and Will were in there with Derek, Sebastian and Sugar. Cassie, Brody and Holly were cleaning up their weapons. While Will was messing with one of the pistols, examining it he had a flashlight that was right by him. He was starting to think of something. "You think of something?" Tina asked.
"Yeah, I have an idea but it has to way." Will said. "I gotta tell you, all the things you say to me is like complete Gibberish to me." Cassie said. "Don't bag on him because he has a mind Like an Encyclopedia that's a useful thing to have... smarts." Holly said. "Yeah right, except he tried to kill us once." Cassie muttered. Holly nudged her sister, "I don't mean nothing by it." Cassie added still cleaning her gun.
"This is bullshit, I should've stayed on that building..." Sebastian muttered quietly but Derek noticed it and just looked at the teenager boy next to him.
"HELP! HELP!" They heard a woman yelled, Derek quickly pressed on the brake. "What the hell Derek?!" Sugar hissed.
Derek suddenly had to stop because of cars and vehicles in the way. "Hey why did we stop?" Brody asked. "The road's blocked." Derek said.
"Maybe we can turn back." Sugar offered. "That isn't make any sense, we can't rish the fuel." Derek said. So they decided to traverse the area carefully. "Be careful, make sure that we're on clear." Cassie said as they were moving The R.V and starts to sputter and then it stops.
Everyone gets out of their vehicles and check what's going on. "I swear that R.V has got to be the most biggest piece of shit on the face of earth." Sam said to Derek.
"We're going to have to find another radiator hose somewhere." Derek said. "Well since we're stuck here, might as well siphon what we can, fuel, supplies, anything." Puck said. "With all these cars around we're bound to find a lot of stuff." Santana said.
"I don't feel comfortable doing that." Brittany said. "We don't have a choice and besides its' not going to be missed." Quinn said. "Alright, let's see what we can find." Puck said.
"Rachel, you stay with Marley, don't wander to far okay?" Santana said. "Okay..." Rachel muttered.
Everyone checks through the vehicles while Derek, Sam, Brody and Sugar try to fix the R.V, Santana and Puck were looking through one of the vehicles and started checking the Trunk and the inside. Puck found some suitcases and clothes. They checks one of the visors and when he puts it down. He sees a picture fall out, he picks it up. "Lopez, you might want to see this." He said to Santana. Santana then went to see what he wanted and saw Rachel in the picture. "Oh my God..." She muttered quietly.
Puck nodded, "Looks like this was her parents' vehicle. There were no bodies and no drops of blood anywhere in the car." Puck said. It gave Santana a sigh of relief maybe they are still alive after all.
While Quinn and Sam finds a truck filled with water. Derek was on the top of the R.V looking in his binoculars, Cassie looks in the scope of her rifle. And they suddenly see walkers coming.
"Walkers!" Cassie hissed quietly and telling everyone to get under the cars. Brittany was with Tina, Marley was with Rachel, everyone else had their separate cars to go under. After a few close encounters the walkers were walking past them. They all kept hidden and quiet as the walkers pass.
Everyone was slowly coming out of their hiding spots. And when Marley and Rachel were ready to get out a walker spots them and tries to get to them. The both of them quickly go to the other side of the vehicle and get out from under it. They then run out into the forest as three walkers were chasing.
"Shit no!" Santana yelled to herself quietly. Santana and Quinn get out of their hiding spot and chase after them before anyone could say anything.
Marley and Rachel were running as fast as they can into the forest as three walkers were chasing after them. "Oh my god..." Marley muttered. As they were running Rachel trips and drops her necklace. Marley quickly helps her up but the walkers drew closer.
And they suddenly split up as one walker was chasing Rachel while the other two were chasing Marley. As they were running Marley loses the walkers a little bit and gets stopped by Santana and Quinn. "Are you okay?" Santana asked. "Oh god!" Marley said and tried to grab on her gun. "No we can't use it. It'll attract too much attention." Santana said.
"Where's Rachel?" Quinn asked. "I don't know! She ran in the other direction over there." Marley said pointing the way.
"Okay, Quinn you go over there and try to find Rachel. I'll get Marley somewhere safe." Santana said. Quinn runs in the direction while Santana had Marley. "No go. I'll be find, I'll just get back on the road. I know my way back." Marley told her. "What? No, I won't let you go by yourself." Santana said. "God Santana, I'm okay. I'm not a kid unlike Rachel, I'm sure Quinn need some help out there. I'll be fine." Marley insisted. "Are you sure?" Santana asked. "Yeah." Marley nodded and walks off.
Santana nodded and tried to deals with the two walkers. Quinn ran in the other direction trying to find Rachel as she was searching, all she could find was Rachel's necklace that she dropped.
Then she started to see foot prints, small ones and big ones. She follows them and sees a walker just standing there right by a tree. Quinn then takes the walker by the back of the head and slams its' face into the tree. "Disgusting..." She muttered as she throws it down onto the ground. She looks at it in anger and then stomps his foot right into the walker's head.
"Are you sure she didn't get back there?" Santana asked as Leroy, Puck and Sam joined her in the woods. "No, we didn't see Marley anywhere when we got here." Brody said. "Goddamit! She told me that she knew her way back and that she would go back here. I drew the walkers over there and Quinn went over there to look for Rachel. She told me that she's running back to the High way." Santana explained.
Quinn then walked back and join the rest of the group. "Did you find here?" Santana quickly asked. "No. All I found was this." Quinn said as she took Rachel's necklace out. "Her necklace." Sam said.
"I followed some foot prints to where she ran off to but the trail went cold. Oh god if something happened to her I will never forgive myself." Quinn said sadly. "Dammit!" Santana grunted thinking about Rachel. "Don't worry you two, we'll find her and Marley." Sam said while Puck nodded his head.
"I hope so." Santana said and they continue to look for her. Santana told Puck and Sam to calm the group and keep a look out on the highway while Leroy, Santana and Quinn keep searching.
Sometime later, they spot a walker. Leroy kills it, took it down and they checks on it.
"It just fed recently." Santana said as she checking the mouth. "What are you kidding me? That is just disgusting." Quinn mumbled in disgust as she looked at Santana who was checking the walker's mouth.
"Yeah but what?" Leroy said. "Well, only one way to find out." Santana said and took out her knife, cut the walker open. Quinn just looking at the Latina as she cut the walker open. Leroy then goes through its' insides and takes out the stomach.
They tear it open and see some small woodchuck bones. "Thank God..." Santana said with a sigh of relief. "That was sick, at least we know now." Quinn muttered.
Rachel was still running, trying to find a place to hide. And it was starting to get late. She started walking and walking and walking and then she sees a campsite completely abandoned. She quietly goes to the Campsite and spots blood on the inside the tent.
She peeks in and sees nothing moving as she opens it up quietly. And then a big whiff of stench hits her. "Ewwwww." Rachel said quietly. She plugs her nose with something and heads inside the tent keeping far away from the dead body that was in there. It was the most disgusting thing she ever seen and she cried herself to sleep.
While the sun was going down. Santana, Quinn and Leroy head back to the highway to tell them the news. "You didn't find them." Jake said.
"Their Trail went cold, we'll pick it up again first light." Santana said.
"Are you kidding me? You can't just let them out there on their own spending the night out there in the woods." Jake snapped.
"Look, it's not good looking in the night. We'll never find them that way." Leroy said.
"God Marley... she can't fight those monsters by herself, she's just a girl! She can't barely hit those walkers." Jake said tearing up.
"God, My girl is just seven years old and she's out there somewhere by herself..." Santana said sadly. "There's no need to panic. You two know they're out there somewhere." Brody said. "We've been tracking them for a while." Leroy said.
"This is all your fault! How could you let her walk back by herself. God, you're so damn selfish!" Jake yelled to Santana and Quinn. "Walkers were on us Santana had to draw them away and Marley told her she knows her way back and insisting on going alone while I went in the other direction to look for Rachel. They split up so don't you dare blame this all on us!" Quinn shouted back.
"But she's just a girl!"
"MY girl is out there to! You don't think I want to go out there looking for them. Rachel is My family now she's all that I got!" Santana yelled.
"Look you guys just calm down. Don't worry we'll find them." Brittany said trying to calm everyone. "Come on Jake, let's get you some water." Tina said dragging the boy with her.
"No one doubts that don't worry." Brittany said. Quinn and Santana walks off. Santana kicks a car in Frustration.
In the middle of the morning, everyone was trying to find the weapons to use against the walkers when they look for Marley and Rachel. "What about guns?" Sam asked. "We can't use those. It'll attract too much attention." Quinn answered and they all started to head out.
Marley woke up a few minutes earlier, she was staying inside a cave trying to hide from the walkers because she couldn't find her way back to the highway. She got out of the cave and started to find her way back.
And Rachel also waking up. She took the thing she was using to plug her nose and got out of the tent as fast as she can. She just wanted to forget about the whole thing. She stayed a bit in there hoping the others would find her as soon as possible.
Everyone except, Derek, Holly, Tina, Brody and Will went out to find Rachel and Marley. They spot a tent. "Hey they could be in there..." Quinn said. "Let's hope so." Santana said.
They go in Further. Leroy took position with his knife while Puck tells Jake to call their names. "Marley, Rachel, are you in there?" Jake said.
Leroy slightly opens the tent and peeks in and jumped back when he saw someone jumped on his hand. "What the –" He said. "Rachel? Rachel!" Santana said and Rachel finally opened her eyes and looked up. She saw everyone and jump into Santana as she gave her a hug.
"Oh my god! Thank God you're okay..." Santana mumbled still hugging the little girl.
"Ugghhh." Leroy said as he spotted the body. "Looks like he's been here for a while." He added.
"Rachel? Where's Marley?" Puck asked. "I – I don't know. I haven't seen her from yesterday." Rachel answered as she cried once again.
"Shhh sweetie. You're okay now..." Santana cooed kissing the girl on the temple.
"God, I'm so glad that you're okay honey. I missed you so much..." Quinn stepped forward once Rachel pulled away from Santana and gave her a hug, stroking her hair.
"I missed you too..." Rachel mumbled.
They were about to ask some more but they suddenly heard a loud bell Noise making them all run towards the noise. "Let's go you guys..." Puck said.
Marley was running as fast as she can and then she seen a graveyard and a Church. "Oh man..." She muttered and she walked a little bit further towards the church.
She peeked through the window of the spotted some walkers she quickly walked back. Suddenly there was aoud ring coming out of one of the speakers on the church. She was afraid it was going to attract more walkers to her location so she runs off to the back of the church to the forest.
Back with Derek and the rest. Derek was scoping the area with his Binoculars on top of the R.V and Holly, Tina and Will were inside the R.V. Will was messing with the Flashlights and the gun and seeing if he could put it together while Tina trying to help Brody with his injury feet. "What are you doing?" Holly asked. "Nothing, just trying to make an attachment, I seen it somewhere once." He answered. "Maybe it was the VideoGame my son used to play with." He added.
"I hate to break in to you but VideoGames are way different from the real life." Holly said. "But that's okay, at least you're trying to do something." She assured. Will just sent her a smile.
"You would be surprised, look I'm seeing if I can take this flashlight and put it on the gun." He said. "Oh I see a homemade silencer that's really something." Holly muttered, impressed by the doctor's extra skill.
"Thank you now if I can just fit it in your gun. There that should do it." He said as he put it on her gun.
"We can't risk testing it right now. Try it later who knows it might come in handy later." Derek said and Holly put her gun away.
Everyone else makes it to the church. They look inside and see some walkers. They got in and take them out one by one and search around.
"MARLEY!" Santana yelled. "MARLEY!" Jake shouted. "Hey J.C taking requests?" Leroy asked as he looks at the statue.
"Leroy, now's not really the best time for the damn jokes!" Quinn yelled and they heard another noise from the outside. They all went outside to see what it was. "It's just a timer alarm." Sugar shuts it off. "It's on a timer." Sam said.
"This is BULLSHIT!" Jake yelled.
