After stopping, Kyle, Sarah and Rachel exit the train with the other survivors standing about.
Kyle: We'll be back......
Shawn: Alright, I'll take a group to scavenge while you're gone....
Sarah: Cool.
James: Might be some shit worth collecting around here....
Joseph: Yeah, Margaret and I will come with you...
Shawn, James, Margaret, Cassandra and Joseph walk off from the Myrmidon. Later on, Kyle, Sarah and Rachel walk along the trails with Kyle following a map with mark on its page.
Rachel: I'm going to start guessing.
Kyle: You wanna spoil your surprise?
Rachel: I think I do.
Sarah shakes her head.
Rachel: Is it a bunny?
Kyle scoffs.
Kyle: Would you quit trying to guess?
Sarah: Cause we're not telling you.
Rachel: Is it a giraffe?
Sarah: No.
Rachel: Is it a wholly mammoth? Is it a dragon?
Kyle grumbles as Sarah smiles.
Rachel: Is it a sports car?
Kyle: You're not gonna guess.
Sarah: Nor are you old enough to drive.
Rachel: Does that matter in a apocalypse?
Sarah sighs.
Rachel: Is it a puppy? Is it a shitload of kittens?
Sarah: You mean a litter?
Rachel: What's a litter?
Kyle: A bunch of kittens.
Rachel: Then why don't you call a bunch of kittens instead?
Kyle: We don't know. It's called a litter.
The three come up to this ledge and Kyle pushes a branch back for Rachel to shimmy her way through.
Sarah: Mind your step.
Rachel walks up and past Kyle and Sarah.
Rachel: I got it.
Rachel starts to walk past when Kyle gets behind her and pushes her.
Kyle: Oh, dearie me.
Rachel lets out a surprised yell and falls into the water.
Sarah: Kyle!
Kyle and Sarah start to laugh as Rachel resurfaces.
Rachel: What the hell is wrong with you?
Kyle: The look on your face right now.
Rachel: What if I had drowned?!
Sarah: You're not gonna drown. Don't worry, sweetie.
Kyle and Sarah laugh.
Rachel: Yeah, keep laughing, you two.
Kyle points up ahead.
Kyle: This way.
Rachel: You guys suck!
Rachel starts to swim.
Kyle: You really conquered your fear of deep water.
