I sit with Carl and Lori, not bothering to acknowledge Shane's presence. I was trying to get Carl to sit still while his mother cut his hair, but she gave up halfway, he's still a kid and trying to get him to sit still won't really work. Lori grips Carl's head and holds it straight, I have to get Lori to cut my hair later. I've had enough of my long hair, it's easier to manage short hair.

"Baby, the more you fidget, the longer it takes. So don't, okay?" Lori says to Carl pulling his head straight again after he moved it.

"I'm trying." He says clearly frustrated with having to sit in one spot for a long time. I giggle at this; I know how hard it is to cut a kid's hair and just how frustrating it can get when they don't sit still. I slowly rise from my seat; I can't sit here all day I have other things to do.

"Well try harder!" I laugh at that and move away not hearing what Shane has to say to Carl and Lori. I'm on my way to my tent when Sophia comes up to me and asks me to play with her, I agree finding it hard to say no to the girl. While playing with Sophia I hear car alarm blaring from a distance, what the hell?

"Hey, Dale, can you see what that is?" I look up at Dale from my position on the floor with Sophia. I hear Shane call out to Dale "Talk to me Dale!" he stands up from his previous place glancing towards Dale. I stand up and move away from Sophia, giving her a soft, "I'll be back."

Dale looks through his binoculars from his stance on the RV "Can't tell yet." He answers Shane. I move towards where Amy is standing, as she asks "Is it them? Are they back?" I get excited, if it's them I get to see my friends again.

I hear Dale gasp, "I'll be damned." He pulls the binoculars away from his face, looking taken aback by what he's seen coming this way.

"What is it?" Amy asks moving to the front of the camp to get a glance of whatever it is. Dale looks down at all of us before answering Amy, "A stolen car is my guess." It seems like the only reasonable answer.
