Hours after Charlie and Elijah's deaths, in the suburbs, Colm, Lynn, Abigail, Selene, Carter and the rest of the Reapers are tracking down Kyle, Shawn, Sarah and Rachel, searching the dead bodies of the bandits and infected. The bandit leader, Marco, is present with them.

Colm: They were definitely here...this is their work.

Marco: My boys chased these tourists outside the city and still got fucking killed. They could've been taken out by the infected.

Lynn looks ahead of the radio tower as the Reapers then venture there, finding the graves of Charlie and Elijah.

Lynn: They were here. They bury their dead. That's the type of person Kyle is.

Carter sighs.

Carter: It's been fucking days, man. We've been chasing these assholes for days now. Just let the fucking wasteland kill them and-

Colm: Carter!

Colm sighs, before going over to Lynn.

Colm: Lynn....we can't keep going like this. They could be dead.

Lynn: Dad...are you forgetting that this is for Roscoe? Your son? Our blood?

Abigail sighs, before Selene calls out.

Selene: Colm! Lynn! Found something!

Colm and Lynn approach Selene, who found a shot bandit.

Marco: Omar! Fuck!

Selene: His wounds are bad.

Lynn: How'd the infected not find you?

Bandit: I was shot by those tourists....played dead.....Those fucking tourists.....we've been chasing them since the city....

Colm: These tourists; you see them?

Bandit: Yeah, two guys....a kid...and a woman...

Lynn seethes.

Lynn: A woman? What woman?

Bandit: She had light brown hair....I think she was really close to one of the guys....

Lynn's eyes widen.

Lynn: Sarah.....it has to be her.

Bandit: I don't know where they went...but if or when you find them, make them suffer.

The bandit finally dies to his wounds.

Selene: Poor bastard.

Lynn turns to Colm.

Lynn: This is perfect. Sarah's with them.

Colm: How is this perfect? They have more numbers now.

Lynn: Don't you get it, Dad? We don't need Kyle anymore. We capture Sarah and kill her right in front of him. Make him feel how we felt when Roscoe died.

Colm: That's not our plan. The plan is to captured Desipich that's it.

Carter: Hold on, boss. I mean....Lynn makes a good point.

Colm: No! We're not deviating from our original plan.

Abigail: Maybe we should just stop this.

The Reapers turn to Abigail.

Lynn: Stop this?! This man killed your boyfriend. Wouldn't you want to get even with that?

Abigail: Yeah...but not at any cost. This is going too far.

Colm: Kyle Desipich made this too far. Still, we stick of capturing him and him alone.

Lynn looks down and shakes her head.
