After driving away and escaping Times Square, the Midnight Riders head for Washington D.C. Luckily, Smitty brought the map with him, Jake had been paying attention to the directions when Anthony was still alive and driving, and the Tour Bus is still in good shape.

They would then spend the next two and a half days on the road until they reach the Washington Monument and the others.

Snowden: Hold it! Bus incoming, keep an eye on it!

Smitty: Oh, shit! They're armed too!

Jake: Easy, I think the guy aiming at us is a soldier. Let's just stay calm, get outside and tell them who we are.

[Tour Bus door opens]

Jake: Hey, we're survivors! Don't shoot! We just came here for the military rescue.

Smitty: Easy now, people! Easy.

Dusty: Please, we need help.

Ox: Yeah, it wasn't easy getting here.

Snowden: Unbelievable. Weapons down!

Ellis: HOLY SHIT, it's the Midnight Riders!

Jake: Yes, yes, we're the Riders. Please, we just need help. We heard Washington D.C. is the last city left in the east coast. It wasn't easy escaping New York. We lost our bodyguard to those undead assholes.

Snowden: I'm sorry about your loss, Jake, Smitty, Dusty, Ox.

Jake: Thank you, sir.

Snowden: Please, it's Snowden. Captain Matthew Snowden, U.S. Army Rangers. This is Zoey, Francis, Louis, Nick, Coach, Ellis and Rochelle. Feel free to talk, just don't overwhelm yourselves.

While the Original Survivors, Left 4 Dead 2 Survivors and Midnight Riders get friendly and familiar with each other, Snowden keeps a lookout. That is when he spots a visibly cautious woman peaking from behind one of the CEDA tents in the area.

Snowden: Hey. Hey, ma'am, over here!

Marc: (quietly) What the hell are you doing, dumb bitch? *pulls woman out of sight*

Snowden: Hey, wait! Wait!

In response to the Army Ranger chasing after someone or something unknown, Nick, Jake, Francis and Coach quickly move to support him. As Snowden turns the corner, he finds three new survivors and the one man he is not happy but eager to see.

Snowden: Woah, there! Calm down. The f— Marc?! You gotta be kidding me, asshole! *aims Capital Punishment M16 Assault Rifle*

Coach: Hey, hey, hey! Watch it, Captain. Take it easy. What the hell is going on?

Snowden: Sir, ladies, please step aside. Yeah, Marc! What exactly, in the hell, is going on here?! Where's the military?!
