The five get to the other building and climb up the stairs.

Rocky: Can't believe you said yes, Rocky. Absolutely bullshit. You should've just left them to die. Then this wouldn't be your problem. Now it's your problem.

Sarah shakes her head.

Rachel: Is he talking to himself?

Shawn: Yup.

Kyle: He's a rare kind.

Rocky: So what kind of trouble you guys in? Where the fuck's Caleb?

Kyle sighs and Sarah bites her lips.

Rocky: He dead?

Rocky laughs. A brief pause.

Rocky: Oh...

Shawn: Yeah.....

Kyle: The trouble we're in is that we've got the Reapers on our asses.

Sarah: Which is lead by Colm and Lynn, who Kyle pissed off.

Kyle side glances Sarah.

Sarah: Hey, it's true.

Rocky: How'd you do that, Kyle? Punch Roscoe in the face or something?

Rachel: More like put a bullet in his head.

Shawn: Rachel....

Sarah: Hey, that's true, too.

Kyle: Okay, Sarah....

Rocky: Wait! You killed Roscoe?! The son of the Leader of the Reapers? !

Kyle: Yeah...

Kyle nods to Rachel.

Kyle: Protecting her.

Rocky: What? That little brat?

Rachel: Haha. Fuck you, too.

Rocky lets out a loud laugh.

Rocky: Jesus Christ. I hope you guys know what you're doing.

The five jumped out the window, walked along a small walkway and into another building.

Rachel: You're shitting me with this guy, right?

Shawn: Where the hell are we going, Rocky?

Rocky: My other safehouse. It's more of an armory.

Rachel: Wait, I thought we were fixing up a car?

Rocky: We? So suddenly a twelve year old girl know how to fix a-

Sarah: Rocky, just...drop it.

Rocky: Like I said, what I need is on the other side of town...the side I avoid cause there's a shitload of Skinners and infected... So we're gonna need more guns.

Rachel: I'm fourteen by the way.

The group comes back into a storage area and hear a muffled noise.

Kyle: Shit...there's one inside.

The five slowly approach the door.

Rocky: Oh, fuck...I've been meaning to take care of this. Relax, it ain't shit.

Rocky waves towards a trapped Skinner that was pinned down on a broken window. Rocky goes over to the Skinner, before he goes and chops the Skinner's head off then towards the front door.

Rocky: Alright...here we go.

Rocky opens the door as the rest walk outside and see a bunch of abandoned cars out on the street.
