Kyle climbs up the ladder to the outpost then look out to see a few infected scattered out.

Rachel: The raiders...they're coming.

Kyle: Yeah...they are.

Rachel looks out with her binoculars.

Kyle: You never really talked about Moses.

Rachel sighs, lowering the binoculars.

Rachel: What's there to say, Kyle? He's dead......

Kyle nods, before looking out.

Rachel: You know; seeing how you and Sarah made it so far together. I guess, I wanted that with Moses, too. Get married, have a family....I wanted that with him.

Kyle frowns.

Kyle: You miss him, don't you?

Rachel: I miss him....Abigail....Marcus......Joseph....Maya....they all deserved this place.

Rachel frowns

Kyle: What?

Rachel: Kyle...if I tell you something, can you promise not to be mad?

Kyle: Why would I be mad?

Rachel: I-

Before Rachel prepares to speak, she then looks through her binoculars.

Kyle: What?

Rachel: I see something.

Kyle: Not an infected?

Rachel: Here, you look, too.

Rachel hands Kyle the binoculars as he takes it, looks through and sees a group of people. Two trucks are parked; one with a cage.

Kyle: That's not infected. Good job, Rachel. Come on. We have to tell the others.

Kyle and Rachel get down from the outpost. Outside Berrington, Wes, Tobin, Hunter, Bakari, Georgette, Griffin, Charlotte, Orion, and Freddy are setting up outside.

Wes: Well, shit. Here I was hoping to give that scared boy a big old fuckin wet kiss and then there this motherfucker goes playin hard to get.

Wes turns to Tobin, who nods.

Tobin: Alright, people. Let's get this party started....and though, we are here to only capture, that does not mean you don't defend yourselves.

Wes: The plan hasn't changed.

Hunter looks down, shaking his head.

Hunter: This isn't right.

Wes then walks up to Hunter.

Wes: What?

Hunter: You know this isn't.....

Wes: You just worry about what I told you, boy. Not whether this is right or wrong.

In Berrington, the survivors and Berrington residents walk out into the courtyard, where everyone else begins to gather around.

Samantha: They finally show up?

Sarah: Yeah.

Samantha: Stay safe, okay?

All of the survivors gather, with Peter, John, Alicia, Samantha, Anna, Chloe and Brigg.

Caleb: They've got a lot more people, all carrying guns. Two trucks.

Kyle: Not to mention a truck with a cage, probably to carry people away.

Anna: Oh god.

Brigg: Fuckers.

Chloe: I can't believe they're really here.
