*********************************

It's been two weeks now since 'Ron' had gotten into the CDC. His recovery is faster than what Dr. Jenner had expected.

There's really something about him, he thought.

But all his hopes were shattered when he got the result of the blood examination of 'Ron.' He knows there's something special in him but whatever he does, all results are the same. He's normal as everyone else.

He doesn't want to admit it but what else can he do?

Maybe, he was just drunk that night or too desperate that made him hallucinate. Or maybe...he's just fooling himself.

With this, he feels depressed and hopeless. He locks himself every time in his room with wine in his hand.

Meanwhile, 'Ron' had fully recovered his strength. Although his memories aren't back yet, he made himself useful to Dr. Jenner. He's the one who's preparing for food, doing the cleaning and everything else.

He noticed the change in the attitude of the doctor. He doesn't know why, but the doctor is not as enthusiastic as before when they first met. He's sorry for him.

It's nearly sunset when he decided to talk to Dr. Jenner. He contemplated why the doctor seems like he's avoiding him but found no answer. He's on his way to his room to talk about his dream, more on a nightmare actually, that haunts him during sleep every night...

There were people who wear old fashioned black robes, like in the medieval ages. There were darkness around them ....pure darkness...then....came up from the middle of the crowd... a very terrifying creature whose face has severely disfigured....It looked at him and called him in some name, a familiar name he doesn't remember...then he wakes up.

The doctor clearly said to him before, that he should tell him right away if he remember something or have a glimpse of his past or even a dream connected to it.

He's about to knock when the alarm beeps....

There were some men who climbed out from the vehicles parked in the street along the C.D.C. building followed by some women and two children. They're being lead by the one in the sheriff's uniform and the black-haired man with a looks of being a police officer.

Combined exhaustion, fear and hunger are discernible on their appearance hoping to find safe haven in the building. But to their great dismay, it is surrounded with corpses, both military and civilian who maybe, like them, sought help from whoever is in there.

They carefully and silently inspect the place for signs of walkers as they move towards the front doors. Their fear has becoming more intense with darkness coming, for walkers may start to arrive.

One of them, the redneck with the crossbow, shot an arrow to the approaching walker. His temper is getting high. He have a strong feeling that it's a mistake going here in the first place. Their chance of survival is very low, if ever their leader, the one in the sheriffs uniform, is mistaken.

"You led us into a graveyard! " he snapped on Rick.

"He made a call, " said the bald headed old man.

"It was a wrong damn call! "

" Just shut up. You hear me? Shut up. Shut up!" Shane shut him up. Like him, he also has a bad feeling in this place but.... Rick is determined that it's not a bad idea after all. For him, it's the place with the greatest possibility where they can seek help.

Despite on what he sees, he doesn't want to believe that this is a dead end as what Shane is saying.

The kids are crying, some of the women are now insisting to move on the other way.

But how they'll do that? Having low on food and fuel, how they will survive?

They walk past the entrance and up through a parking lot. Tanks and more barriers are positioned around the entrance. Corpses lie everywhere.

"Dr. Jenner, there are people out there. We need to help them," said 'Ron' as Jenner looks at a schematic of the building that's displayed on his monitor. Alarms are lit up at the entrance where the group is walking. Automatically the computer switches to live video. Jenner and 'Ron' see Rick and his group walking up to the building.

"No," he said to 'Ron.'

Outside they get close to the doors. Everyone tries not to retch. They pound the door to open but failed.

Shane looks at Rick, he needs to convince him somehow. They shouldn't be here, this close to the city after dark.

"Fort Benning, Rick-- still an option."

"On what? No food, no fuel. That's a hundred miles." Andrea argued. It's impossible for them to travel in this condition. They'll surely die.

"125. I checked the map," Glenn said

"Forget Fort Benning. We need answers tonight. Now." but Lori insisted.

"We'll think of something." Rick assured but Shane made the call as he hold his gun tightly in case a walker approaches. They need to get away from here now before it's too late.

Rick's face fall. He doesn't want to admit that he made a mistake leading the group to C.D.C., he believes that they might have a cure for this world. He knows, he can find help, somewhere, and this is the only place he could think of. He looks up at the camera and sees it moving.

"The camera- it moved."

It might sound insane, but Rick is very certain of it. He's hoping there's somebody in there even though everybody are too scared to wait the whole area to be darkened.

They thought, he's just imagining it.

"Rick, it is dead, man. It's an automated device. It's gears, okay? They're just winding down. Now come on."

'Ron' and Jenner watch them from the inside.

"No, just go away." said Dr. Jenner

"Please, help them as you helped me. They have children with them." pleaded 'Ron'.

"You're other case, Ron," Jenner faced him as if it's a mistake he helped and let him in.

'Ron' is confuse. "What do you mean, I'm other case?"

Dr. Jenner hesitated a moment and faced the monitor, hoping that the group will leave soon.

"Please, we're desperate. Please help us. We have women, children, no food, hardly any gas left." pleaded Rick as Lori, his wife, runs up to him..."Rick, there's nobody here."

"We have nowhere else to go. ..If you don't let us in, you're killing us!"

Shane holds Rick's arm firmly, "Let's go."

"Please help us. You're killing us! Your killing us! Your killing us!"

Shane drags Rick away from the door just as it rolls up, blinding light beaming out from inside the C.D.C and everyone turns around.

They stand in the light from the open doorway.
