Jocelyn groaned but froze as she realized she was ziptied to a bed. "Oh thank goodness." She heard Parker. "Parker?" Rye questioned. 

The three of the froze when the man looked at them. "You know what that shit means? It means the roads have all been closed. It means the phone lines have been cut. it means there's no signals getting in or out of this valley." The man told them. "But mostly, it means we're all fucked." The man added. "Yeah, this valley is a whole new level a fuck." Jocelyn remarked. The man sighed. "The g_ddamn 'Collapse' ... they all think the world's coming to an end. now. They've been waiting for it. for years. Waiting for somebody to come along and fulfilled their prophecy and kick off their g_ddamn Holy War. Well, you three sure as shit kicked..." The man explained, the women huffed, he then sighed. "The smartest thing for me to do would just be to hand you three over... fuck..." the man spatted.

Then he cut their zipties off.  "Get out of those uniforms... we need to burn them." The man told them. They nodded. "There's some fresh clothes there. When you three get changed, you come and see me." The man told them. "We'll see if we can un-fuck this situation." Then man told them then he walked out of the room.

"Shit...." Rye said. "This is bad." Parker said. "I knew we should've just left the church and headed back where we came from, damn it." Jocelyn spatted. Then she grabbed jeans, White tank, with a green flannel. "Very interesting choice." Rye remarked. Jocelyn rolled her eyes.

They met up with the man after the three of them changed. Jocelyn spotted the Seed family on the wall. She spotted the man, the one she made eye contact with in the church, Jacob Seed. 

"Good you three found something that fits." He remarked. "Yes, gotta look the role of Hope County." Parker remarked. "I didn't properly introduce myself back there. Most folks call me Dutch... I been trying to piece together what's happening up top... it ain't good. Little I can gather is that your partners are alive. for now. Seems they've been split up... each one handed off to a different member of Joseph's Family. You want 'em back, I get it. I got friends that been taken too. Problem is, there ain't no help coming." Dutch explained. "What do you mean, there's no help coming?" Rye asked, with a hint a panic in her voice. 

"Nobody knows what's going on here and they won't know until it's too late." Dutch answered. "Well, like you said we need to un fuck this situation." Jocelyn remarked. "Well There's gotta be people out there willing to fight back against this cult. We just... we need to show 'em how... We need to build us a residence. So the first thing we're gonna do is get control of this island. Once we get some breathing room, we can figure out what's coming next. There are guns and a map in the safe over there. Take 'em. I'll give you three a call on your radio once you get your bearings." Dutch said. 

The three of them grabbed everything they needed. "Be careful out there, it's crawlin' with Peggies. Those fuckers are willing to die for that psychopath that's leadin' em."Dutch said. Jocelyn made eye contact with Jacob's portrait once more before heading out with Rye and Parker. After leaving the Bunker and Dutch explain the plan, Rye decided to question it. "Don't act like we didn't see that." Rye remarked. "I know where i'm heading after we help get this island of Dutch's under control, I'm headed to the Whitetail Mountains." Jocelyn stated. "You cannot be serious." Parker said. "I'm serious..." Jocelyn said. "We cannot split up." Rye stated. "If we don't it's going to take longer,  Parker stays here with Dutch, Rye goes after John, I'll go after Jacob then the three of us... after Faith then Joseph." Jocelyn said. "Jacob served in the Army." Parker stated. "And I took marshals arts classes during my off days, what's your point besides I'm not scare of the big old Mountain Man." Jocelyn said. Rye and Parker rolled their eyes at their friend. "Alright, we'll go with your plan, If things go south, I'm heading up there after you." Parker stated. "Fine by me, let's do this." Jocelyn stated.

After taking down shrines, rescuing and liberating the two places nearby. "Shit, you three. I'm impressed. There's more fight in you than I thought. You got a real shot at setting up this Resistance... Next step is clearing up the radio signal: My CB's on the fritz, I can't get ahold of anyone off this island. The radio tower near the south shore must be busted. You think you three can take care of that for me?" Dutch asked.

"Oh that's a hell of a climb." Parker remarked. "Just.. don't look down." Rye remarked. "Exactly." Jocelyn remarked as she climbed up the ladder.

The three of them climbed up the tower, Jocelyn pulled the switch. "That should do the trick now." Jocelyn remarked. "Hey Deputies! I'm getting a strong signal now.. Let's opened your map, I walk you through with what I'm hearing." Dutch said. Rye pulled out the map, the three of them examine it.

"Let's look at the big picture...Hope Country's divided into three regions. To the north, you got the Whitetail Mountains. It's run by Jacob Seed, oldest brother of that fuckin' family. Jacob's the one training the cult, and he's damn good at what he does..." Dutch explained on but Jocelyn's mind blanked out when she started to hear a light sweet voice, came to mind.

"Join us...." 

Jocelyn mouth opened slightly, as the voice continued.

"We aren't all bad, Join us, don't let nobody destroy what my brother built." 

She knew... a member of the seed family was talking to her but some reason, she chose to listen on.

"Jocelyn..." Parker said, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Hmmm?" She questioned. "You alright?" Parker asked. "Yeah, just trying not to think about the height, we are really high up." Jocelyn said, Parker went to question her, Dutch came into the call. "Oh shit.. Deputies. I'm pickin' up something new outta Holland Valley. It's a broadcast from John. You three need to see this." Dutch explained.

"We are all sinners. Every one of us."

"You. Me. Even The Father knows deeply of sin. It's  poison that clouds our minds."

"What if I told you. you could be free from sin? What if I told you that everything you ever dreamed could come true? What if I told you that everything could be overcome if you embraced an idea: That freedom from sin can come from the power of just one word... YES."

The three of them gasped when they saw Hudson. "They broke her?" Parker questioned. "She the toughest person I know." Jocelyn remarked. "We're screwed." Parker mumbled. "Not quite." Rye remarked.

"Yes, I am a sinner. Yes I wish to be unburdened. Yes.... I must be redeemed. If you're watching this. know that you have been selected. You will be cleansed. You will confess your sins and you will be offered atonement. Don't worry you don't have to do anything. We'll come for you. Welcome to Eden's Gate." John said, then broadcast cut.

"Fuck. John Seed's got your partner Hudson. She's in a world of shit, you gotta get going." Dutch told them. "I'm heading there." Rye said. "Rye... You are too innocent." Parker remarked. "Well it's time for that to stop, I'm in this, to save Hope county." Rye said. "I'm heading to Whitetail Mountain." Jocelyn said. "That Jacob Seed is a tough son of a bitch." Dutch remarked. "So am I, Parker will aid you, if things go south send her our ways." Jocelyn told him. 

"I trust you know what your doing right now Winchester." Dutch said. "Yeah, I'm somewhat terrified but I got this." Jocelyn said. "Let's do this." Rye said.
