'Everyone enters the house. Christa help Omid onto a couch in the living room.'

'Omid screams in pain.'

"Sorry! Sorry!"

"No, it's okay. I'm good. Feel better already just being off my feet. Thanks, babe."

'Christa joins the group in the kitchen.'

"So, when were you gonna tell us that you're bitten?"

"..um."

"It didn't happen back in that station, right?"

'Christa asked with suspiciously.'

".. what? No,it was earlier in the streets. A crawling one got me by surprised."

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?"

'Lee asked with concerned.'

".. Y'all were busy trying to open the door, what was I supposed to do?"

"Besides,I cleaned & stiched the wound. If I show any major symptoms,uh,yeah. You know what to do.."

"How can you be so calm about this?! Godaamnit!"

'Kenny angrily exclaimed.'

"Hey,you mind lowering your voice?"

'carley says with annoyance.'

"Cause I have faith that this won't kill me. I'm confident that I can overcome this."

"What's important right now is to figure out who the hell was on the other end of that thing!"

'Christa points to the radio.'

"Who gives a shit about the damn radio? I'm more worried about whoever it was out there ringing that bell and bringing the dead down on top of us! It's like they didn't want us to make it to the river!"

"What makes you think it's not the same person? Whoever was on the radio was close enough to see us in the street. And we didn't see anyone else other than the guy in the belltower."

"Because that doesn't make a lick of damn sense. Why would they bring out the dead like that and then try to warn us about it?"

"How much sense does anything make anymore? In case you haven't noticed, there's a lot of twisted folks out there these days. At least the dead don't play games with you."

"Whoever it was, seems like they're following us. And I don't like being followed."

"All the more reason to get on a damn boat, where we can't be followed."

" I'm not going back out there any time soon. Omid needs to rest."

" I think we could all use a little time to rest up and gather our thoughts, Kenny. At least until those walkers outside wander off and Omid's feeling better."

"He best feel better quick. I ain't gonna wait around here too long for someone else to grab up those boats, that's our ticket out of here.''

"Place seems secure, at least."

" I'll feel better when we know that for sure. We need to check the whole house."

'Carley makes a suggestion.'

'Kenny sighs'

"Alright, fine.  Ben,Carley and me'll  take the upstairs. Lee you've got down here. Make sure you check every door,

'Ben, Christa, and Kenny leave'

"Can duck & I help? What if there's another locked door?"

"It's fine,kiddo. You two stay with aslan & Christa. How does that sound?"
