When they had found a place to rest Ellie was installed in the center on small green moss that had grown over the years. Lara was sitting against a piece of furniture in the corner of the room positioned well enough for the woman to keep an eye on the teenager. After that, the Smith woman took more than three or four to fall asleep for fear that Joel or Tess would kill the kid in her sleep, but in the end she couldn't resist any longer; let her pass overwhelm her in a place where she should normally be peaceful.
When the brunette had woken up she had seen the two smugglers sitting on the steps of the building, their weapons drawn and their eyes riveted on the still sleeping Ellie; so the woman quickly turned her gaze on the little brunette out of fear but she relaxed when she saw her breathe.

Tess staring at the young woman then the young girl on the ground. "What was Marlène doing with an infected kid ?"
This question compelled the Smith woman to intervene: "Don't answer !"
« She found me after I was bitten. » the brunette to slap her hand on her head.
"And she didn't shoot you ?" Ask Joel.
"Clearly not." The insistent looks of the two adults forced the young girl to resume : "She locked me up and had her guys test me every days to see if I was getting sick."
"Test you how ?" Ask Tess.
Lara answered for the girl "We make her count to 10 and hold out her hand and keep it steady-"
