/Dylan continued to have a wide eyed look, as he listened to a female voice, on the other end of the phone/

"Thank god! We've been dialing numbers non-stop. I'm so glad I found somebody!" said a voice

"Where are you?" asked Dylan

/Dylan heard silence, then a throat clearing/

"I... I don't think I can tell you"

"You could be 2,000 miles away, for all I know"

/Dylan heard more silence, on the other end. His feeling of worry, heightened/

"C... Can we go to where you are?"

"I'm going to have to talk with everyone else..."

/Dylan started sobbing, with worry/

"No... please don't hang up"

"I'll call back in one hour"

"Please... we're dying, here... please..."

/Dylan suddenly heard the phone line click. He let tears fall from his face, as he hung up the phone/

==With Christopher==

/Chase, Yumi, Chelsea, Jennifer, Aelita, and Christopher were standing on the roof of the store. Chase frowned, as he looked around/

"Maybe we can put a guardtower, or something, up here? But there's also spots by the fences that might work" said Chase

/The group nodded in agreement, but Aelita had a curious look/

"What can we use to build a guardtower? And do we even know how to build one?" asked Aelita

"There's plenty of wood in the hardware section. And I know how to build a treehouse. It's the same basic concept" said Chelsea

/The group shrugged. Yumi then looked at Christopher, and saw he was standing by the edge, and looking in the distance/

"Chris...? You okay?" asked Yumi

/Christopher sighed/

"I'm just thinking about what happened with Dylan... poor bastard..." said Christopher

"Yeah... This is a real shit-show..." said Jennifer

"I know what he's going through" said Christopher

/Chase frowned, and looked at Christopher/

"How so...? You don't know how he feels" asked Chase

/Christopher sighed, and turned to look at the group/

"When me and Chelsea flew back here to Georgia, we first saw the biters and ran to find my parents. Only when we got to them, they told me it was too late. My dad handed me his gun and I knew what they both wanted... I didn't want to believe it... I didn't want to do it. But I pulled the trigger. Me and Chelsea ran and ran and ran. Place to place, day by day, just trying to survive... That's when we ran into Ulrich, Odd, Patrick, and your brother, Chase. So yes, I fucking do know how he feels!" said Christopher

/Chase and Christopher, both looked at each other, with anger/

"Chris... you don't know what the fuck you're talking about... But I know what you had to go through" said Chase

/Christopher scoffed/

"How...? Did you have to shoot your parents, too?" asked Christopher

"My adoptive father, with a fucking .50 caliber sniper rifle..." said Chase

/Christopher had a look of anger/

"The only one I have that still loves me is Chelsea. But you still have your brother. Me? My family is fucking dead! I have no one else now, EXCEPT CHELSEA!" said Christopher

"I KILLED DYLAN'S FATHER! How do you think I fucking feel about that?! I told him four years ago, but I'm still guilty! I killed his dad!" said Chase

"Sometimes I wonder if I should rip open your chest, to see if you even have a heart!" said Christopher

/The group went wide eyed, as Chase started walking towards Christopher/

"THEN DO IT! RIP IT OPEN! I'm fucking ready!" shouted Chase

/Christopher threw his arms in the air, and started walking away/

"You know what? I'm done trying to help! I'm going somewhere where I can be alone! Chelsea, do NOT follow me!" shouted Christopher

/Chelsea had a wide eyed, and saddened look, as she saw Christopher walk down the flight of stairs. Chase rubbed the sides of his head, and had a look of shame/

"Goddamn..." said Aelita

==With Anne==

/Anne had a saddened look, as she walked towards the garage. She got to the door, and contemplated banging on it. She then sighed, and knocked. After a few moments, the door opened. Anne then went wide eyed, when she saw Dylan, covered in blood/

"Dylan..." said Anne

/Dylan continued to blankly stare at Anne, causing her to have a feeling of worry/

"A... Are you okay?" asked Anne

"I'm fine" said Dylan

/Anne rose an eyebrow/

"Are you sure...? Do you want to talk?" asked Anne

"It's okay..." said Dylan

/Anne's feeling of worry, continued to grow, as she looked at his blood covered form/

"W... Why're you covered in blood? How many walkers were in there...?" asked Anne

"I have to go" said Dylan

/Anne tried to saw more, but Dylan shut the garage door. Anne sighed, with worry, and started walking back towards the store.../

==With Christopher==

/Christopher was in the manager's office, lying on the desk. He looked at the door, to see Aelita, staring at him/

"Could you sit up for me, please?" asked Aelita

/Christopher nodded. He then sat up, allowing Aelita to sit next to him. She then allowed him to rest his head on her shoulder/

"The reason I didn't tell your brother the full story when he asked me is because it was too painful for me. Chelsea knew I didn't want her to bring it up. But me having to tell the whole story to Chase... Aelita, killing my parents was the hardest thing I've ever done." said Christopher

"I'm sure it was. But there are others who care about you." said Aelita

/Christopher shook his head, and resumed sobbing/

"No there fucking isn't! My parents are dead! I have no family now!" sobbed Christopher

/Christopher then noticed Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, Chelsea, Miranda, Patrick, Verity, Jennifer, and Jeremie walk into the room/

"Yes you do, Chris. Look in front of you." said Aelita

/Christopher looked at the group, and saw that they all locked hands./

"It's us. We're your family, now." said Aelita

"Thanks guys... I really needed that" said Christopher

/Yumi grabbed Christopher's left hand, and Aelita grabbed his right. Everyone smiled at each other/
