Ron: Shit! Get down!
A nearby walker growls , me and Carley duck down behind the wall. Carley takes her gun out. After a moment, the walker walks away and i exhale, relieved. Me and Carley peek over the fence. A creaking sound is heard.

Carley: Did you see that?

Ron: Sure did.

The lid of an icebox opens partly as something pounds on it from inside. Me and Carley stand up, and Carley points a gun at the sound.

Ron: Be ready to shoot.

The lid opens, and Glenn is inside.

Glenn: Guys! Oh, man, I'm glad you're here.

Carley: Jesus, Glenn!

Glenn gets out of the icebox and jumps over the wall. Everyone crouches down.

Ron: Alright, that wasn't so hard.

Carley: Can we get out of here before any of these things notice us?

Glenn: Not yet. There's a survivor trapped up there.

Everyone turns to look at the second floor of the motel, where there are zombies pounding on a door to one of the rooms.

Carley: No way. We gotta go, now.

Glenn: Listen. I was out here looking for gas. And then, up there in the corner room, I heard crying coming from inside.

Ron: Who is it?

Glenn: It's a girl. We talked and she got frightened. I was trying to get in and help her and she started yelling and saying I was bitten. I tried to convince her I wasn't, and that's when all these guys came out of the forest. A couple almost got me, and I ended up hiding in the ice machine.

Carley: Lucky you; now let's go!

Glenn: We can't just leave her.

Ron: Damn right, we can't.

Carley: You guys are suicidal over a girl!

Glenn: I'm saving her, with or without you.

Ron: (turns to Carley) Think about if it was you.

Carley: Fine. Let's go save Glenn's damsel in distress.

Carley draws her gun and everyone moves to the next wall, crouching behind it.

Ron: Okay, this is the plan. We don't know how hard it's gonna be to get her out of that room.

Glenn: Yeah, it's boarded up.

Ron: So we have to kill every one of them in here.

Carley reloads her pistol.

Ron: Quietly. Noise attracts these things. Now let's have a look around.

Carley: What do you see up there?

Carley: If I have to use this, we're in trouble.

Glenn: Be careful peeking around. If they get on our scent, we're toast.

Glenn: Take a peek over the wall.

Ron looks over the wall at a walker eating a corpse.

Glenn: Oh, man. She's eating something. So we got that one right there, close.

Carley: Where to next?

Carley: I'll cover you if sneak over to the RV.

Glenn: We can probably make it over to the RV or down to the truck if we're quick and quiet about it.
