In the area of the destroyed hydro-electrical plant, Rocky, in his gas mask, arrives at the chaos. He looks around, walking past Maya's decapitated head and body in the process, before he enters the courtyard. Rocky pulls out his machete and takes out several attacking infected, before he looks inside a fenced area to notice Abigail, curled up in a ball and looking down. Rocky then approaches the cage and taps on the fence, getting her attention.
Rocky: Yo! Ginger girl!
Rocky then opens the gate and steps inside, before he takes off his mask.
Rocky: Hello?
Rocky takes the pistol out of Abigail's hand and then examines the gun.
Rocky: It's fucking full. Did you even fire a shot?
Abigail nods her head. Rocky looks down, before looking outside.
Rocky: Alright. Get up. Let's go. Did you fucking hear me?! Let's go!
Abigail remains silent, before Rocky kneels down to her level.
Rocky: You're just gonna stay here? Huh? And die? Is that what you want?
Abigail finally speaks, still looking out into the opening.
Abigail: Look at my jacket. I was with them. I attacked this place. I took part in this.
Rocky: Yeah...I can tell.
Abigail turns her head, facing Rocky.
Abigail: Why are you trying to save me?
Rocky: Because whether you like it or not, I need your help.
Rocky creates a nail bomb, before he hands Abigail her pistol back.
Rocky: We're low on ammo. Take this and this.
Rocky throws a nail bomb into the crowd of infected as it explodes, drawing the other infected to the area. Rocky puts his gas mask back on.
Rocky: Okay, kid. Look, I need you stay ahead of me. I got plenty of ammo, but if I'm getting you out of here, you need to contribute. Understand?
Abigail nods.
Rocky: You ready?
Abigail nods, before Rocky and Abigail finally escape with Abigail using her knife and pistol to take out several infected. Rocky and Abigail successfully escape the destroyed hydro-electrical plant. Rocky removes his mask as the two reach the open road.
Rocky: Hey.....I saved your life. Now you tell me exactly what happened.
Abigail sighs.
Abigail: The Reapers....my people....Lynn and Colm....they lead and attacked this hydro-electrical plant full of innocent people...families....Lynn....she killed that girl....cut off her head.
Rocky sighs.
Rocky: Fuck....who was it?
Abigail: Her name was Maya.
Rocky: She was one of Kyle's friends....
Abigail: You know Kyle?
Rocky: I do. I'm the one who helped him get a car and then your former people....tore up my town, looking for him.
Abigail sobs.
Abigail: Kyle Desipich...he killed my boyfriend, Roscoe....Lynn's brother and....Colm's son....but Lynn, she was just so out of control....she slaughtered innocent people in their town....children....but...she's done so much that I don't even care anymore...so what I did....I mean, I'm a fucking piece of shit. You should just shoot me now.
Rocky: Okay....first off. I'm not the type of person who shoots first and ask questions later. Second; I'm not God. It's not my place to judge. Third; I know Kyle and I know he got away from that fight alive. Probably Shawn, Sarah, Rachel, too. So I don't want your help, I need your help.
Abigail: How do you know if these people got away?
Rocky: I've known Kyle for over a year. He's a soldier. Like me. Him and Shawn. Sarah's a survivor. They're both capable of surviving bad shit....and you feel bad for being apart of bad group....but you can make it up....so you're gonna help me find them.
Abigail: You have any idea on where to start?
Rocky prepares to answer until he notices the abandoned Reaper car and fresh tire tracks. Rocky inspects the Humvee tire tracks.
Rocky: Your people, the Reapers I mean, didn't drive a Humvee, did they?
Abigail: No. Only sports cars and Harleys. Why?
Rocky smirks.
Rocky: Cause I think Kyle does.
In the mall, one of the stores, Kyle, Shawn, James, Cassandra, Rachel, Marcus, Margaret and Joseph search frantically in the drawers. Jenny's horse is strapped to the reigns.
Kyle: Shit. C'mon, gimme something, goddammit!
Shawn: Fuck!
James: Shit!
Jenny: Nothing! Nothing! A whole heap of fucking nothing!
Rachel: Yes!
Margaret: You found something?!
Rachel: Yeah!
Rachel holds up a roll of duct tape.
Marcus: Duct tape! What the fuck is that gonna do?!
Joseph: That could actually be useful! Give it to me!
Rachel runs over and hands it to Joseph, who had been keeping an eye on Sarah, who is laying on top of an old door and decided to use as a pallet for her to lay on. Cassandra holds her hand.
Rachel: Okay.
Joseph: Margaret, you're a better expert than I am. What do we need to do?
Margaret: Uh...put her on her side.
Kyle, Shawn, Jenny and Marcus kneel beside Sarah and the three push her up to her side. Sarah lets out a grunt as she pulls up her shirt and Kyle's jaw drops at the piercing in her abdomen.
Kyle: Shit....
Jenny places a hand on Kyle's shoulder.
Jenny: Hey, she's strong. She's gonna make it, Kyle.
Shawn: Yeah, we're gonna make sure she makes it.
Margaret reaches behind Cassandra and places one of Rachel's shirts over her wound, like a bandage.
Margaret: Sorry about the shirt, Rachel.
Margaret uses the tape, and, tightly, tapes the shirt against Sarah's side.
Rachel: It's okay. As long as she lives, I don't care. It's just a shirt.
Margaret finishes up.
Margaret: Okay.
Margaret pulls down Sarah's shirt to cover up their homemade bandage then places Sarah back on her back. Sarah groans and breaths heavily as they set her on her back.
Kyle: Well?
Margaret: It should buy us some time.
Margaret stands back up as she joins Kyle, Shawn, James, Cassandra, Marcus, Rachel, Jenny and Joseph in a circle.
Margaret: But her wound needs proper cleaning and stitching. We need a medical kit.
Shawn: Fuck...
James: Hey, don't lose hope, guys. We're in a mall.
Marcus: Yeah, but this is a big place. We don't know where to look.
Joseph: Malls have pharmacies and medicine stores. There's bound to be something.
Jenny: Alright, then let's start looking around while she has a chance.
Cassandra: Kyle, you should stay with her.
Kyle: What?
James: Exactly. You should stay with her, by her side. Just to keep her safe. Ex-husband or not.
Margaret: I'll stay, too. Just to keep an eye on her and her wound.
Kyle sighs, but understands. Kyle then turns back to Shawn.
Shawn: We'll find it. We'll be fast, too.
Kyle: Okay...
Kyle walks back over to Sarah, raising his hand to her forehead and stroking her hair.
Rachel: We'll be back. We promise.
Jenny pets her horse.
Jenny: Buckwheat. You be good while I'm gone, okay?
Shawn,James, Cassandra, Rachel, Marcus, Jenny and Joseph pull up the gate, open itand shut it, before Shawn shuts the gate behind the group.As they do, Kyle looks down at Sarah.
Kyle: You're gonna make it, honey. You're going to make it.
Shawn places a padlock on the gate and locks it with a key, before approaching the others. Shawn pockets the key.
Shawn: We do got this, right?
James: Hey, we're not losing anyone else, okay?
Joseph: Okay...so where the fuck do we go? This mall is huge.
The group turns to face the rest of the mall.
Marcus: Good question.
Shawn: Why don't we split up and find out? Okay, James, Jenny, and I will take the lower level of the mall. Marcus, you and Joseph, take the east side. Cassandra, and Rachel take the south. Stay safe. Stay alive. Infected and Skinners aren't the only things in this mall we gotta worry about. There's a good chance those assholes might have followed our tracks here.
The group separates into their assigned teams. Sometime later, Sarah wakes up, the pain still raging in her stomach, but the bleeding temporary stopped by the homemade bandage. Kyle approaches her as she lifts her head slightly to look around.
Kyle: Hey. Hey. Easy....Oh, thank God!
Kyle kneels and takes Sarah's hand.
Kyle: You're alive.
Sarah: Just barely.
Kyle: For a moment...I thought...
Sarah: Can't get rid of me that easily.
Sarah releases a grunt of pain.
Sarah: Shit.
Kyle: Hey, hey, hey...take it easy. You blacked out.
Sarah looks around, noticing Buckwheat.
Sarah: The horse made it, I see.
Kyle: Yeah.....his name is Buckwheat.
Sarah slowly turns her head to Kyle.
Sarah: You're fucking kidding, right?
Kyle: Nope....
Sarah: Where are we? Where's everyone else?
Kyle: We took place in a mall not too far from the hydro-electrical plant. Margaret's in the other store next to ours. Shawn, Rachel and the others are looking for medicine...fortunately, we're ideal from real medicine. Here. Let me look at your wound.
Kyle lifts up Sarah's shirt and checks out the homemade bandage Margaret made. Kyle frowns and becomes upset.
Sarah: You remember...how I said giving birth to Rose was...the worst pain I've gone through?
Kyle looks up to Sarah.
Sarah: I changed my mind. Getting stabbed with a machete is ten times worse than pushing a whole entire human being out of your vagina.
Sarah lets out a weak laugh.
Kyle: Stop. It's no time to be silly.
Sarah's smile falters.
Sarah: Sorry. I'm just trying to...lighten the tone.
Kyle shakes his head.
Kyle: Why did you do that? How can you be so reckless? Why did you push me out of the way?
Sarah groans a bit and let's out a small chuckle.
Sarah: Well...this is gonna sound like some cheesy movie quote...but it's like they say...people always do stupid and crazy shit...especially when they're in love.
Sarah gives Kyle a weak smile. Kyle's glare softens upon hearing Sarah's profession.
Kyle: So, you still....? Even after....?
Sarah raises her hand and places it on Kyle's cheek, stroking her thumb through his beard. Kyle places his hand over hers then turns his head to kiss her palm and closes his eyes. Kyle opens his eyes and the two stare into each other's eyes for a moment.
Sarah: I never stopped.
Both of them start to lean towards each other, before their lips can touch, Buckwheat neighs loudly. The two then look down and awkwardly laugh.
Sarah: Did the horse just tell us to get a room?
Kyle: I think it did.
Margaret: Kyle, is everything okay?! That horse was neighing very--
Margaret smiles upon seeing Sarah awake.
Margaret: Sarah! You're awake!
Sarah: Yeah. Thanks to you.
Kyle notices weapons in Margaret's hands.
Kyle: What's that?
Margaret: Some pretty gnarly shit! Zeus Corps was stationed at this mall when the shit hit the fan. They left a lot of weapons behind.
Margaret sets the weapons down.
Margaret: Especially this.
Margaret runs into the back room then comes back with a rocket launcher.
Sarah: Damn.
Kyle: Holy shit....
Shawn, James and Jenny look around on their floor, unable to find a pharmacy store. Shawn speaks to Jenny.
Shawn: Okay, I gotta ask. Buckwheat.
Jenny shrugs.
Jenny: What?
Shawn: Why Buckwheat?
Jenny: I told my mama before she died that if I ever got a horse, I would name him or her Buckwheat. You know; cause horses like to eat wheat sometimes.
Shawn shrugs.
Shawn: I mean, I see your point; it's just....fucking "Buckwheat"? Out of all the names to name a fucking horse, you name him fucking "Buckwheat"?
Jenny: When you ride your first horse, Shawn, you'll understand.
Jenny taps Shawn's cheek, before walking off. Shawn looks pondering.
Shawn: Buckwheat?
Shawn then joins James just as he looks around a store.
James: Fuck....nothing.
Shawn: Hey, man...I just wanted to say...I'm sorry about the plant. I know you worked hard to bring that place up from the ground and to have it taken away from you....I'm sorry about Rachel, too....you know she wasn't gonna shoot, right?
James sighs.
James: Yeah, I know. This kinda reminds me of the time when we were kids and I built that homemade volcano and then you fucked it up....or that time I built a tree house and then you burnt it down.
Shawn: Always ruining your projects.
James laughs.
Shawn: So....I guess you're stuck with us again, shit-sniffer.
James scoffs.
James: Guess I am....well, no matter how hard you try, you can't escape your family.
In the other side of the mall, Marcus and Joseph search around for supplies.
Joseph: So?
Marcus: So?
Joseph: What do you think our odds are?
Marcus: Me. I'm not too worried about this.
Joseph: Why not?
Marcus: I've been through worse. Like the Krens wars. I survived. Margaret did. Kyle did. We all did....but I lost friends like Kyle's brother, Jake, and Sarah's sister, Ashley. My other friend, Mitchell....but still I came back from that....
Joseph: You want to talk about....?
Marcus sighs.
Marcus: She deserved better....so much better. I should've fought with her. Maybe Vivian would still be alive....but....you're a religious man, Joseph. You feel like she'll be on the other side?
Joseph sighs.
Joseph: I wish I had an answer for you...but I do believe that there is a God, even in all the midst of this chaos and destruction.
Marcus shakes his head in understanding. Meanwhile, Cassandra and Rachel look around the floor until Cassandra sees a mall directory, which was a sign that tells them which shops they had and where to go. Cassandra runs towards it and looks it over.
Rachel: That sounds promising.
Cassandra looks to see where to where to go.
Cassandra: It's not far. Just go straight forward and on the left.
The two start to head towards that direction. The two come up to the store to see that its gate was half opened so both of us had crouch and walk under the gate then stand back up.
Cassandra: Okay, if we spread out, we might be able to look through this store faster.
Cassandra and Rachel separate and look through all the shelves.
Rachel: What the hell?
Rachel looks through a shelf and Cassandra looks through another. She manages to find a bottle but of course nothing.
Cassandra: Ugh....Come on.
The two girls continue their search.
Cassandra: Of course. The fucking place is picked clean.
Rachel: Cassandra, over here!
Cassandra goes over to Rachel, who was behind a counter and looking through a door. Cassandra walks up next to her and she points through the window.
Rachel: First aid kit.
Cassandra sighs with relief then she grabs the handle, but it was locked.
Cassandra: Of fuckin course.
Rachel: How the fuck do we get inside?
Cassandra shakes her head.
Cassandra: There's gotta be a key or something.
Cassandra and Rachel look around the counter.
Rachel: Hey, I found a note.
Rachel shows it to Cassandra.
URGENT NOTE! Pharmacist went nuts and attacked me. I hit with a bat pretty hard. She's unconscious. I locked her in the American Doll store next door. PLEASE GET HELP! Combination: 34-23-02
Cassandra: The pharmacist.
Rachel: Maybe she's got the key.
Cassandra: She better...
Cassandra sets the note down.
Cassandra: C'mon, let's go.
Both Cassandra and Rachel walk out of the store and head to the American Doll store, where there was a combination lock. Cassandra puts in the combination and the lock unlocks.
Rachel: It worked.
Cassandra and Rachel pull the gate open, then, both of them quietly walk through the store and look around until they come upon the body of the doctor. Rachel leans forward and starts to search the body for the key.
Rachel: Don't come to life, don't come to life.
Rachel searches all of the pockets.
Cassandra: Find anything?
Rachel shakes her head until she pulls out a key and holds it up to Cassandra.
Cassandra: Nice.
The body slumps forward and Rachel jumps back in fright.
Rachel: Fuck! Ah, Jesus!
Rachel stands next to Cassandra, but the body doesn't move anymore.
Cassandra: Okay, we've got the key. Let's go.
Eventually, Cassandra and Rachel make it back to the pharmacy and to the back door. Rachel unlocks it and they run in and towards the first aid kit.
Cassandra: Yes.
Cassandra opens it, but the happiness vanishes when they find it empty.
Rachel: No...
Cassandra shuts her eyes then stands up and kicks the case in anger.
Cassandra: Fuck!
Rachel: We're so close!
Cassandra sighs and paces around when Rachel looks out of a window.
Rachel: Oh...helicopter?
Cassandra: What?
Rachel points towards the window and runs. Cassandra follows her to see off on the other side, there was a crashed Zeus Corps helicopter.
Rachel: There's gotta be something in there.
Rachel jumps through the window. Cassandra follows her and they go through an old beauty salon and found a dead body next to a kit with bandages.
Rachel: We can use it this, right? Or at least, Margaret can.
Rachel picks it up.
Cassandra: Yeah...
Rachel hands it to Cassandra, who puts it in her backpack.
Rachel: Hey, Cassandra....I'm sorry.
Cassandra: About what? Aiming a gun at me? It's the first time that's happened. Won't be the last.
Rachel: Not just that....I'm sorry about Maya. She was really nice to me.
Cassandra sighs, before shaking her head.
Cassandra: My sister always did have a kind heart. Kinder than mine.
The two then head out of the store then down the stairs.
Rachel: Here we go.
Cassandra and Rachel jump over the railing and down onto the floor. Both of them look up at the helicopter.
Cassandra: How the hell do we get up there?
Cassandra looks over to see a gate.
Cassandra: Over here.
Cassandra and Rachel run over to it. Cassandra pushes the button and tries to open the door, but it wouldn't open.
Cassandra: Thank you, Zeus Corps.
Rachel: Any way to get this on?
Cassandra: Cables.
The two follow it towards a set of doors, which was the back area of the mall. Suddenly, the two hear a loud noise and jumped back a bit, only to realize that it was a cat as it ran off.
Rachel: Fucking cat.
Cassandra and Rachel turn on their flashlights and follow the cables to a door. Cassandra goes to open it but it was blocked.
Rachel: Are you shitting me?
Cassandra: Come on.
The two girls try to get it open, but nothing.
Rachel: Ugghh...damn it.
The two then walk over to a flooded area of the hallway. Rachel begins to have a panic attack.
Cassandra: What's wrong with you?
Rachel: I...I have aquaphobia.
Cassandra: What?
Rachel: Fear of very deep water and--
Cassandra: I know what it is.....Okay...can you hold off your fear for a few minutes?
Rachel: I....I can't....
Cassandra: Okay. I'll go first.
Cassandra walks into the water and lets out a small squeal as the water was freezing.
Cassandra: It's not that deep. C'mon.
Rachel is hesitant.
Cassandra: Rachel, I promise there's nothing scary, okay? I need you, okay? Be brave.
Rachel: You'll stay with me?
Cassandra: Yes.
Confidentally, Rachel begins to walk into the water.
Rachel: Oh my god! It's freezing cold!
Cassandra: No shit.
The two girls continue on when the cat runs atop of the air ducts and knocks things over.
Cassandra: Jesus Christ!
Rachel: This pussy's trying to kill us.
Cassandra laughs.
Cassandra: That was funny.
In another area of the mall, Joseph and Marcus come across a Christian store as they enter inside and search around.
Marcus: Small detour?
Joseph: Sure.
Marcus and Joseph enter the store and search around. Joseph looks around at the biblical merchandise.
Marcus: Nothing here....no medicine.
Joseph walks over to the bible display and grabs a bible, before placing it in his backpack.
Marcus: Think that's gonna help us on our trip?
Joseph: Doesn't hurt to have a bible with us? Besides, also wouldn't hurt to pray.
Marcus: Do you still pray?
Joseph stands back up.
Joseph: I do.
Marcus: When's the last time you prayed?
Joseph: I said a prayer when we lost the plant....I said one for Vivian...Maya...all the people we lost...sometimes I just say quiet prayers to myself.
Marcus scoffs.
Marcus: No wonder my sister's into you.
Joseph: Margaret is not into a dorky, religious guy like me.
Marcus: Trust me; she doesn't say it much...but she does like you.
Back at the store, Margaret checks on Sarah as she rests, before Margaret stands up and walks into the other room, where Kyle is sitting in a chair, looking at an old recording device.
Margaret: What's that?
Kyle: It's an old recording device. There's nothing on it, though.
Kyle puts the recording device back in his pocket, before Margaret sits down next to Kyle.
Kyle: How is she?
Margaret: Stable. I'm hoping the others find a medical kit and soon...our homemade bandage is barely holding as it is. Plus, she's got the fucking horse watching over her right now.
Kyle sighs.
Margaret: So, you back together, then?
Kyle: It's complicated.
Margaret laughs.
Margaret: "It's complicated" he says.
Kyle turns to Margaret, eyebrow raised.
Margaret: You two have been together for how long? With you, it's never "it's complicated".
Kyle laughs.
Kyle: What about you and Joseph?
Margaret: Joseph is....I don't know. Things in the wasteland, like relationships and romance, don't usually last too long, you know?
Kyle: Take a chance. You never know.
In the flooded area, Cassandra and Rachel enter the loading bay area of the mall, where it wasn't flooded.
The two walk up to a platform where there is a generator.
Cassandra: Here we are.....
Rachel sighs, before Cassandra touches Rachel's shoulder.
Cassandra: Hey. You did good. Conquering your fear is never easy.
Rachel nods.
Rachel: Thank you, Cassandra.
Cassandra: This is it. End of the line.
The two walk up to the generator and pull the cable, but it doesn't do anything.
Rachel: Nothing.
Cassandra goes to the gas tank, opens the lid and looks inside.
Cassandra: Of course. Empty.
Cassandra looks behind her and finds a gas can in the corner. Cassandra picks it up then shakes it to hear that it still had some gas inside.
Cassandra: Yes!
Cassandra goes and pours the gas in the generator fast tank.
Cassandra: There. That should do it.
Cassandra closes the cap and Rachel pulls the cable, turning on the generator.
Rachel: All right!
Cassandra and Rachel high-five each other until they hear a noise.
Rachel: Oh, fuck!
Two Stitchers run towards the girls, but a cable falls into the water, turning into an electrical water and frying the two Stitchers.
Rachel: Well, that fried them.
Cassandra: Yeah, and it'll fry us if we touch it.
The two go over to a gate and open it.
Rachel: At least the doors open.
The two get inside and climb up the ladder. It lead them to the top of the air ducts as they slowly and carefully walk along the top of the air ducts and make it over to the other side of the room to a door.
Cassandra: Alright.
Both of them jump down on the platform and open the door. As they walk inside, Cassandra hears infected nearby.
Cassandra: Shit....
Cassandra turns to Rachel.
Cassandra: You still have your gun?
Rachel pulls out her gun and looks through the barrel.
Rachel: Yeah, but not a lot of ammo.
Cassandra digs into her backpack and pulls out ammo and hands it to Rachel.
Cassandra: Here...just in case things go south and we need to use it.
Rachel nods as she takes the ammo and loads her gun.
Cassandra: If anything, I can sneak up on them and use my switchblade.
Rachel holds up her knife.
Cassandra: Good.
The two girls quietly make their way through and Cassandra shoots a few infected with her bow and arrow and Rachel quietly sneaks up on them and stabs them. The two finally take them up out as they end up in another store.
Cassandra: Shit, kid. You're pretty good.
Rachel: Thanks, you too....Okay, I think that's all of them.
The two go to the gate, open it and get out of the store, and end at the back gate leading up to the helicopter.
Cassandra: Alright, let's go!
The two run over to the gate, and Rachel pushes the button, opening the door. Cassandra pushes it open and the both of them run up the escalator then up some on some debris and walk on a little walkway of the glass roof.
Rachel: Oh, fuck.
The two stand on top of the glass, and it sounded like it was gonna break.
Cassandra: Don't think about it just keep going.
The two walk along the glass then come up upon the edge, which was close to the helicopter.
Cassandra: Okay, I'll go first then you hop next over, okay?
Rachel nods. Casandra takes a few deep breathes then walks on the steel panel and jumps over and into the helicopter.
Cassandra: Made it.
The helicopter shifts and Cassandra almost falls out but grabs the edge of the doorway of the copter.
Rachel: Oh, shit! Cassandra, you okay?
Cassandra: Yeah, I'm fine.
Cassandra stands up.
Cassandra: Okay, jump. I'll catch you.
Cassandra walks towards the door.
Rachel: Okay, okay.
Rachel jumps down and Cassandra catches her.
Rachel: Oh, god...
The two stand up a little straighter.
Cassandra: You okay?
Rachel nods as she looks over at the front of the helicopter.
Rachel: Oh...
Rachel runs over to the front. Cassandra follows her as Rachel picks up a medical pack and sits down.
Rachel: Please, please, please...
Cassandra kneels in front of her and Rachel opens the kit, which was full medical supplies. Cassandra laughs as Rachel sighs with relief then closes the kit and looks up at Cassandra. Rachel looks past Cassandra to notice two figures approaching the helicopter.
Rachel: Cassandra....
Cassandra turns her head.
Cassandra: Shit. It's the Reapers.
Cassandra arms her bow and arrow and aims, but Rachel stops her.
Rachel: Wait!
Cassandra: What?
The two look closely at the two figures; one a girl with red hair and a Reaper jacket, the other a man bearing a shotgun and a gas mask. Back at the store, Kyle, Sarah and Margaret hear a noise. It sounds like the engine of a larger vehicle. Margaret looks out the window to see a Reaper caravan with the APC coming towards them. The Reaper caravan stops with Selene exit the lead vehicle and leading the Reapers inside the mall.
Selene: This way.
Margaret: Uh-oh.
Sarah: What is it?
Margaret: It's that bald Reaper bitch and her band of bikers.
Kyle: Selene....Are Colm or Lynn with her?
Margaret: Doesn't look like it.
Kyle: Margaret, get the rocket launcher and every ammunition you find.
Margaret nods then opens the slider door, allowing Buckwheat to gallop outside, before she goes to grab the rocket launcher and all of the rockets she can carry. Sarah grunts in pain.
Sarah: I'll take the launcher. Take em by surprise.
Kyle gives a worried look towards Sarah.
Kyle: No, let me do it. You're in no shape.
Sarah shakes her head.
Sarah: Kyle...I can barely get around without help. Besides, I want payback.
Kyle gives a concerned look, before Sarah places the launcher on the window for stability, the APC stops at the gate, leading into the mall. Kyle and Margaret load up the truck with the weapons that they've found. Sarah keeps her finger on the trigger but waits. Suddenly, a glint of what must've been a scope appear below Sarah as she only manages to duck behind the window before the sniper set off a shot. The gunshot is heard throughout the mall as Shawn, Jenny and James react. Marcus and Joseph look at each other, before exiting the bible store.
Marcus: Shit! C'mon!
Sarah gets up and blind fires the rocket in their general direction. It takes a couple of the Reapers out it serves to anger Selene. More Reapers were pouring into the front of the mall from where the APC had stopped. Kyle and Margaret arrive and give Sarah support. James and Shawn manage to regroup with Marcus and Joseph and run towards the kid store as the Reapers open fire. Sarah continues using the rocket launchers, preparing to use her last round to take out the APC. The APC turret takes out the support beams under the store, causing it to Kyle, Margaret and Sarah to fall along with the store. Selene and the Reapers move in as Kyle, Margaret and Sarah manage to take cover. The Reapers open fire, but suddenly, the APC is taken out by a rocket explosion while another Reaper is shot with a bow and arrow as Cassandra and Rachel rush in and start taking out the Reapers. Selene looks to her left to see that Rocky had the rocket launcher and tosses it to the ground. Kyle's eyes widen.
Kyle: Rocky?!
In the midst of the fight, Shawn, James, Marcus, Jenny and Joseph arrive and open fire at the Reapers, killing a few. Selene retreats into a store with a turning booth, before she backs away and turns to find Abigail.
Selene: Abigail! Thank god! C'mon. Let's take these fuckers out!
Abigail gives a disgruntled look as Selene seethes at her.
Selene: Abigail?
Abigail then aims her shotgun at Selene.
Abigail: Sorry....
Before Selene can react, Abigail shoots Selene in the lower stomach. Selene screams as she falls backwards and slides down against the all of cabinets. Kyle, Sarah, Margaret, Shawn, James, Jenny, Cassandra, Rachel, Rocky, Marcus and Joseph manage to some of the Reapers, but to their trouble, a horde of infected begin pouring, causing a few of the Reapers to be picked off. The survivors fall back into the store where Abigail has just gunned down Selene. The infected pound against the store glass as Shawn turns to Rocky.
Shawn: Decided to join us after all, huh?
Rocky: Well, your little biker buddies decided to break into my home and destroy my place looking for you guys...plus, I had nothing better to do.
Abigail: Rocky?!
The survivors turn as Abigail appears with a shotgun.
Jenny: Wait, what?! You?!
Kyle's eyes widen. Margaret aims her sniper rifle at Abigail, but Rachel stops her.
Rachel: Margaret, wait!
Margaret: She's one of them!
Jenny: She was with the Reapers when they took our home!
Rocky: She helped me find you guys!
Abigail: Please....I....I know what I did was wrong, but....I'm sorry...to all of you.....
Sarah is about to speak when she starts to feel more and more dizzy as the recoil from the launcher has caused complications with her wounds.
Kyle: Sarah! You good?!
Joseph: I'll check her!
Joseph tends to Sarah while Margaret and Jenny lowers their weapons as Jenny looks around.
Jenny: Where's Buckwheat?!
Margaret: I let him out the back so he can get out.
Shawn: I hate that fucking name.
Selene's dying cry is heard. The survivors walk around the corner to find Selene, tied to a chair, bleeding out. Selene looks up at Abigail and shakes her head.
Selene: You're betraying our family for this trash?
Abigail: This is not a family, Selene. This is a gang that butchers innocent people....and I want no part in this anymore.
Marcus walks up to Selene with anger. Selene makes eye contact with him.
Selene: Oh, you.....you're the boyfriend of that bitch I shot....what was her name? What was her name? Eh...don't matter. She wasn't shit anyway.
Marcus pushes past Shawn and James and punches Selene, before Joseph restrains him.
Marcus: Fucking bitch! You killed my girlfriend!
Joseph: Hey, dude. Chill, chill....she's already dying!
Margaret calms Marcus down, placing her hand on his shoulder, before Kyle walks up to Selene.
Kyle: You don't have a lot of time left. So I suggest you make the most of it by answering my questions.
Selene: I die answering your questions. I die if I don't answer your questions. What's the fucking difference?
Kyle: Because you can die slow from that wound, you can die fast or my personal opinion.....
Kyle gestures to the infected outside the store.
Kyle: You can die being ripped apart. Your choice.
Selene looks down.
Kyle: Why'd Colm sent you?
Selene: He didn't....Colm's not even in charge anymore.
Selene looks up at Kyle.
Selene: He's dead.
The survivor's eyes widen at hearing this, but then Kyle, after looking at Selene for a long time, realizes what happened.
Kyle: Lynn killed her father....didn't she?
Selene: Colm was becoming weak....actually wanted to drop it.....Lynn saw otherwise....so she killed him...stabbed that motherfucker....Tell me; how long do you think you can run? Lynn will kill you all...except for you and Sarah....then she'll kill Sarah slowly in front of you....then she'll kill you.
Kyle: She might....not until we kill her first.....but unfortunately, you're not gonna live to see it.
Kyle turns to Marcus, who nods in understand. Marcus approaches Selene.
Selene: Figures it's gonna be you....go ahead....get it over with.
Marcus gives an angered look, before he grabs Selene and drags her to the entrance of the store, where the infected are pounding on the glass.
Selene: You ain't gonna do that...You don't have the balls, boy! Why don't you just do it yourself? Instead of fucking have them do it, huh?!
Marcus lifts Selene up to her feet and places her into the turning booth as the infected scratch and reach for her. Selene turns to Marcus with a hateful look.
Marcus: That girl you killed...her name was Vivian.
Marcus pushes the turning booth as the infected grab Selene, beginning to devour and rip into her. James, Joseph, Margaret, Jenny and Rachel turn their heads as the others watch as the infected devour Selene. Sometime later, after the survivors leave the mall, Lynn, Carter and the rest of the Reapers arrive and look at the carnage. After killing the infected, Lynn manages to find Selene's devoured corpse. Lynn folds her lips.
Lynn: Goddammit....
Carter: They were definitely here.
Lynn notices something lump in one of Selene's pocket. Lynn then reaches into Selene's pocket and pulls out a recorder.
Carter: Is that recorder?
Lynn nods, before playing the recording. From it, Kyle's voice is heard.
Kyle: Lynn, I know you're hunting us. I guess you've figured out that you sent your Lieutenant after us. I also know you've killed your Dad. Guess you were getting sick of him being soft on us.....see, we could've made some sort of agreement.....I could've worked my debt for what I did, but then you killed my friend.....Maya was a good person....one of the only few in this fucked up world.....and you killed good innocent people back at the hydro-electrical plant. See, your Dad could've stopped me from wanting to kill you for what you did....so, I'm going to leave this on your Lieutenant as a last warning; stop following us. Stop trying to kill us.....or I will kill you and not have a single regret about it.
Lynn looks down and crushes the recording in her hand before throwing it onto the ground and stomping it.
Lynn: Fucking fuck!
Carter: What do you want to do?
Lynn: Any idea where they're going?
Carter: Well, as far as we know, they're still going to Taker city.....and they gotta pass Slaver territory to get there.
Lynn turns to Carter.
Lynn: Let's get a message to the Slaver.
