As Ethan drives, you keep O entertained in the backseat. The three of you had now been driving for weeks, luckily barely had any problems on the way, only a few too close encounters with the insane but managed to get away. After five years the two of you had gotten good at travelling. And you had found a good car that could take some hits.
You finally get where you were heading and follow the instructions you got. Eventually standing before a huge tunnel entrance to a giant bunker, at least you hope that's what's in front of you. You could hear all the birds they said they had on the way to and around the entrance so you were hopeful. You hear Ethan walking around ahead of you after he made you stop to check it out, while you hold O in your arms rocking her slightly as she leaned her head on your shoulder. She was tired after walking for days now, and today you had pushed it a bit since you were so close.
...
You flinch and tighten your hold on O when you eventually hear a loud noise, then realise it might be a door of some sort. Ethan backs up and takes your hand when he finds you.
"Ethan?" You hear a male voice.
Ethan recognises the voice immediately. "Jason?"
Jason worked alongside Ethan in the military. The two got close friends fast because of their chemistry and great teamwork.
"Yeah, man, it's good to hear your voice. I can't see exactly where you are but you sound close, so just follow my voice. You have to get in through this first hall before getting all the way inside. Then you can take your blindfolds off." Jason tells him.
Ethan pulls you with him, walking toward Jason's voice. Getting there, you suddenly feel someone else's touch and you flinch away on instinct. Your body now recognising the difference when it's Ethan touching you or when it's a stranger, no matter how and where they touch, you would know if it was Ethan or not.
"Sorry, I don't know where my hand went, but I'm just trying to help you inside." Jason tells you.
"It's okay." Ethan tells you and trusting him you slowly let him go and tentatively reach your hand out till you meet another hand. Jason clumsily takes your hand and when be has it he helps guide you inside.
...
You hear doors close somewhere behind you as your lead further inside. O hugs you close and you keep a strong and protective hold on your daughter, having a hard time trusting new people. Then the man guiding you finally stops.
"Okay. We're inside, it's safe. You can take your blindfolds off."
Ethan would usually not trust the new people and just head to check for windows himself, but he feels confident that this is all legit, and that's not just because it's people he knew before. You had unfortunately met someone Ethan knew when you went to his hometown and he had turned into one of the insane. It was a bit like a Gary incident all over again and you barely made it out alive.
The only reason your family survived, was because Ethan knew the man and that he had a bad knee. It gave him an advantage when fighting him, though being blindfolded that only made it more of an even fight. Ethan clearly won hence you all standing here alive years later, but killing the man affected him. It wasn't easy to kill a friend even though it wasn't really his friend anymore, but he put his family at risk so he had to save you and O. Luckily he made it out himself too.
