Y/N POV

Javi just used us leverage which I can understand but that puts Clem in danger which I don't like.

Gabe: Dad?

David: Javi? Is that really you? I always hoped I'd find you. Never really thought it'd happen; not after all this time.

Javi: I can't fucking believe this... It's you!

David: Couldn't have said it better myself.

Gabe and Mari run to David and hug him.

Mari: I'm so happy to see you dad!

Gabe: I knew you were still alive. I knew it!

David: Hey, weapons down! This is my family!

The New Frontier soldiers lower their weapons.

Javi: You gotta let us in. Kate doesn't have much longer.

David: Jesus. Kate!

Kate: David?

David: (holds Kate's hand) I'm here, honey. I'm right here. What the hell happened?

Javi: She's been shot and we got the bullet out, but she's still bleeding. We need your doctor. Now, David!

David: Thanks, Javi. For getting her here.

David carries Kate.

David: She's coming inside!

?: But she hasn't been checked!

David: This is my wife, Max. You want her to die?

Max: No. I didn't say that!

David: Our doctor's gonna help you, honey. I'm gonna make sure of it.

Gabe: Wait. We're going with you!

Gabe, Mari and David walk away. The rest of us try to follow, but the New Frontier raises their weapons to stop us.

Fern: Sorry, but the rest of you have to go straight to quarantine.

Tripp: What for?

Fern: All newcomers get checked for bites, and they all have to answer a couple of questions. Our doctor will clear the four of them. But the rest of you have to come with me to the quarantine holding area. It's how we keep it safe for everyone.

Y/N: Fuck.

Clem: Yeah, right.

Javi: Fine. Let's just get this over with.

Tripp: Javi.

Fern: Make my job easy, would you? Listen to your friend.

Tripp: Whatever you say.

Quarantine

The soldiers bring us to the quarantine area, where we find Eleanor.

Eleanor: Tripp!

Tripp: Oh, God, Eleanor! (hugs Eleanor) When we found the car without you in it, I didn't know what to think.

Eleanor: The engine up and died! I came here looking for help and this... happened. I've been so worried about Kate and Mari, I said I'd be right back. I told them she needed a doctor. They promised me someone would look into it. Please, tell me they found her.

Javi: Well, luckily, we found her before she got any worse. They just took her to the hospital.

Eleanor: I can't believe no one went to look for her!

Eleanor: I'm sorry, Javi, really, but... I didn't have any reason not to believe them. What?

Tripp: The people here in Richmond; they're New Frontier.
