Season One Episode 13 Part One

Somewhere west of the Rockies

They pulled to a stop on the side of the road after driving for a while due to Cassandra feeling sick. Her leg had got infected again only it seemed much worst this time. Her and 10k were currently sat on the side of the road opposite the van just in case she had to throw up, Murphy was sat in said van while Ellie and Doc kept watch while Warren was talking to Citizen Z through the radio.

"I'm not sure how much longer we can hold it together"

"It's only another 150 miles"

"We have a man down, Cassandra. She's not looking good" Warren explained "And then there's the package"

"Uh, what about the package?"

"Don't know exactly, but Murphy's acting weird. More than usual" Warren paused and turned to see where Ellie was and when she saw she was a good distance away she continued "And Ellie's not doing so great either, she's getting more jumpier and anxious the closer we get. She's not sleeping and when she does she gets nightmares and I know it's to do with what you told her"

"I only told her so she would be prepared when she got there because it would have been mentioned, I didn't think it would effect her so much".

"It doesn't help when you keep information from her and don't lie I know you know more than your telling"

"...I admit I didn't tell her everything, but I'm in the dark too. The only other thing I know is that somehow they got a hold of her blood and that's what they are interested in but I don't know why. I really don't, her file didn't say anything else"

"She told us before that a few months into the apocalypse she woke up in a hospital with no recollection of how she got there, could that be where they got her blood?"

"It could be... and she has no idea why she was there? She didn't have any injuries?"

"No nothing. What if they did to her what they did to Murphy, could that of happened?"

"I doubt it, She hasn't shown any signs like Murphy and she doesn't have any bites does she?"

"No I don't think so, can you keep digging see what you can find out?"

"Will do, tr-"

"Where's this new destination?" Warren interrupted him seeing Ellie walking towards her and thankfully citizen z got the message.

"It's Fort Collins, Colorado"

"What happened to California?"

"Lab's dark again. Maybe for good. You've been redeployed"

"By whose orders?"

"Well I started picking up a teletype signal on the old civil defence frequency. At first I thought it was a hacker, but turns out it's Doctor Merch. Yeah, that Doctor Merch. The one who injected Murphy. So delivery Murphy to Fort Collins. Doctor Merch will be there with her team to meet you"

"No more California?"

"Colorado is the new California"

"Copy"

"Everything Ok?" Ellie asked once she was close enough

"Yeah all good" Warren said but they all turned then when they heard Cassandra vomit

"I'm gonna go check on her" Ellie explained and she walked away from Warren and towards 10K and Cassandra. She smiled sadly at Murphy in the van as she passed and then she could hear Cassandra's heavy breathing.
