Aurora was sitting in the front of one of the cars, next to Rosita, who was driving and following the car in front of her. Abraham was lying in the backseat asleep. Eugene and Rue were in a different car, the backseat of it filled with supplies.

"Well..." Aurora started, wanting to fill the impenetrable silence amongst them.

"I hope they find his wife and that."

Rosita said nothing but nodded, and the thick silence lowered to them once more.

They drove for another 20 minutes, with Aurora not paying attention to where they were going - just staring out the window. Rosita leant forward, looking around.

"Where are they... oh you have to be kidding me." Aurora looks at Rosita, confused at what she's talking about until she points to a tunnel.

"Oh, that's great!" Aurora laughs, jumping out of the car. She slams the door shut, before wincing as she sees Abraham jump up from the corner of her eye.

"Why did you let him take us here?!" He snaps at Rue, who pulls at face at his tone and raises her eyebrows at him.

"He was the one with the map! I was just following directions."

The two continue arguing while Aurora watches them. She wants to leap in and heroically defend her sister, but honestly, Rue seems to be doing fine on her own. A noise from beside them pulls her attention away from the conversation, and she quickly turns away from the group.

A snapping twig usually implies there's a groaner, and eager to showcase her skill, she simply pulls out a knife and walks over to where the noise came from.

She sees a figure emerging from the treeline and runs forward, pushing her knife against its head. Except this groaner fights back and pushes her onto the floor. And the groaner isn't dead, she's a pretty woman with short brown hair.

Aurora's group runs over, having heard the commotion and most pull a gun on the woman still holding her down.

"Get off her," Abraham demands, "Or I'll shoot."

The woman reluctantly lets go, and Aurora runs to Rue's side, instinctively standing behind her.

Rue points her bow behind the woman, at the two new people walking through the trees who stop at the sight of the group.

"Who are you?" Rosita asks, still pointing her gun at the woman in front.

She looks at the two she's with, who nod, before telling their names, "Maggie, Sasha and-"

"Bob!" Aurora exclaims, interrupting Maggie, seemingly forgetting the danger and running forward, "You're Maggie, Glenn's wife!"

At the mention of his name her gaze somehow simultaneously hardens and softens. "You've seen Glenn? He's alive?"

Abraham stepped forward, "He's in there," he motioned towards the tunnel.

"He's with a woman, Tara, and we *were* travelling with them," Rosita starts, shooting a look at Abraham when emphasising the 'were', "We've driven here to meet them."

Suddenly, loud groans and moans erupted from the tunnel causing everyone to jump and turn to look at them. Aurora pulled out her gun finally and pointed it towards the entrance, copying the others.

Maggie ran towards the tunnel and was immediately immersed in the darkness, and Sasha and Bob followed behind her. Rosita and Diana ran forward while Eugene picked up a weapon and followed behind.
