Annabelle unlocks the handcuffs around Virgil's wrists.

Virgil: You couldn't have done that five hours ago?

Michonne and Annabelle both raise their eyebrows sending him a look.

Michonne: Why would we do that?

Annabelle steps off the boat onto the shore where the boat is docked. Michonne reaches down grabbing a small bag.

Virgil walks past them as they give each other a look

Virgil: Come on. Family's inland.

Annabelle: And the guns?

Virgil: Everything's inland.

Later, Virgil leads them out of the woods into a field.

Annabelle: We need to get back. We headed in?

Michonne: We need to hurry this up so we can get back to our kids.

Vigil: I can't show up empty handed. Wife wouldn't like that. This garden's her baby. Got herbs and teas for everything, pain, nerves, sleep.

Annabelle: How about focus and keep moving our asses?

Virgil: Well, those Whisper folk really got you percolatin, huh?

Michonne: They're not the only one who's got us nervous.

Virgil: Who else got you percolatin?

Annabelle and Michonne looks at each other

Annabelle: Someone named Solomon.

Virgil: Right, the man you mentioned back at Oceanside

Michonne: Regardless, there's a lot of lives at stake.

Annabelle: Where's the munition depots you mentioned? This one of them?

They both eye a tin building not far away from them, beside it is a solar panel.

Virgil: Nah, there's just an old lab, some structural damage. Wild animals get in there sometimes. Best to stay away.

LATER

Michonne and Annabelle are following Vigil walking alongside a building. Annabelle notices a sign hanging on the fence that says: Restricted Area. Unexploded Ordnance.

They make their way into a courtyard.

Michonne: Our kids would run riot in here.

Virgil: My boy seems to think maybe the sailors must've left a buried treasure in the grain silos. I can barely get him not to claw his way up the thing

They walk past a board that has group 1 through 4 spray painted in various colors but underneath group 3 is the letter A.

Virgil: Kid's 5. He's just like his mom

Michonne and Annabelle eyes empty chairs, some has books laying in them then eyes Virgil worriedly.

Michonne slowly unsheathes her sword.

Virgil: Ain't a damn thing you can do to stop em.

He turns around and is met with the sword pressed inches away from his neck and the angry glares of Michonne and Annabelle

Michonne: Stop the bullshit.

Annabelle: Where the hell is your family?

ELSEWHERE

Virgil is shown standing in front of three shallow graves all dug out beside each other

Virgil: When I said I had to come home to my family, I meant it. I promised her when we got married. Flowers every day.
