Draven sat on the ground, his hands tied behind the tree, watching as Naona, Cole, Leah, and Josephine discussed what to do with him. "Why are we even keeping him alive? What's the point of taking any risks?" Naona asked, frustrated. It was the next day now. Everyone had a chance to think about what to do with their new prisoner. "He's a human being. We can't just shoot him in the head and call it a day." Cole argued. "Why not? I mean, right now, I don't give a shit about our humanity. We just need to survive until we can find a place to settle down." Said Leah. Cole realized he was losing this argument. He looked over at Josephine, who was just sitting on a rock and day dreaming. "Hey, Josephine. You've been awful quiet, how about a little help?" Cole called her. "Uh... I don't know. Kill him, don't kill him, I don't care." Josephine muttered. "Well, I guess it's been decided." Naona announced. She grabbed one of the pistols and aimed it at Draven's head. "Woah! Hold on!" Draven pleaded. "Stop!" Cole insisted, stepping in front of Naona's gun. It was aimed right at his chest. "Cole. Move. Are you really gonna give your life for this random guy?" Naona asked him, her voice shaky. Cole paused for a moment. "Are you really gonna kill me over this random guy?" Cole asked her. Her hand shook, her eyes welled up a little. Finally, she dropped the gun to her side. "Good. Now, let's really think this through." Said Cole, taking the gun from Naona. "I promise, I won't harm anybody. I'm just a guy trying to survive." Draven explained. "Think about it, Naona. What would he get out of killing us?" Cole asked. Naona didn't know what to say. Cole walked around to the other side of the tree and untied Draven's hands. He stood up and stretched out his arms. "Thank you." He said. "You better fucking be right." Naona said, turning and walking away. "Are you sure about this, Cole?" Leah asked. Cole hesitated. "Yeah. I'm sure." He said finally.

It was the middle of the night. Everyone had gone to sleep except for Josephine who was still just sitting on the rock, contemplating something. Draven no longer had his hands tied, but all of the weapons were being kept right next to Naona, so if he tried to get them, he'd wake her up. A tear ran down Josephine's face. She didn't know what to do. She rolled up her sleeve, revealing the bite mark on her arm. She cried quietly for the rest of the night.

"Holy shit. Sasha, I'm so happy for you." Ryan said, smiling and taking her hand. "Yeah. Thanks." Sasha said, pulling her hand away. "What's wrong?" Asked Ryan. "I don't know. It's just... I don't know if I can do this. I mean... bringing a baby into this world..." Sasha's voice trailed off. "I know what you mean. But we're gonna help you through this." Ryan comforted her. Sasha's eyes filled with tears. "Thank you." She said. She hugged Ryan. She wiped her tears and sniffled as she thought about Tyson and how he wouldn't be here to meet his child. "Hey party people, I have an idea. We should go on a supply run to find some baby supplies." Devin suggested. "What kind of baby supplies?" Asked Jared. "Y'know, like bottles... and... y'know..." Devin tried to think of something. He really just wanted to find a breast pump so he could watch Sasha with her boobs out. "That sounds like a good idea, but you're not coming." Said Ryan.

Ryan and Jared decided to head into the town where they had found the Twinkie truck. They looked around on the road until they found a car that worked and began driving. "So, do you really think we'll be able to do this?" Jared asked. "Yeah. We've done harder. We just need to find the supplies and somewhere to set up a real home. I was thinking we could look for some suburbs or something and just move into one of the houses." Ryan suggested. "That's a great idea." Jared said. Finally, they arrived at the town. They got out of the car and looked around at the various shops that lined the streets. On one side of the street, there was a store called 'Babies Babies Babies! All Your Baby Needs!'. On the other side of the street, was a store called 'Sexy Sex Store! Dildos, Vibrators, Steering Wheels, And More!'. "I think we should probably check out the second one." Said Jared. "Gay! You're gay!" Ryan shouted. "No, dude! I'm not gay! No!" Jared screeched. "You're fucking gay, dude! I knew it!" Ryan yelled. "I'm not gay, dude! I didn't mean it like that!" Jared screamed.
