Chapter 74: The Garcias

You're in a van with Javier and Tripp. Javier told you about his family and all their names, so that once you meet them, you'll know who's who.

You touch the scar on your right cheek.

Javier: Hey, Clem...we almost there?

You look out the window.

Javier: Hey, Clem?

You look at Javier.

Clem: Yeah. We're close.

Tripp: I gotta say, I hope your people are safe and sound. Eleanor asked me before we left to make sure of it.

Javier: Oh, yeah?

Tripp: Yes, sir. So that's what I'm gonna do. Though why she went to bat for you, I've got no idea. I mean, she hardly even knows you. And you don't know her, for that matter. Makes a guy wonder, you know?

Javier: There's not much mystery to it, Tripp. She's a good human being.

Tripp: Yeah, Eleanor's got a big heart, that's for damn sure.

You make it to the junkyard and the van slows down.

Clem: Guys. That's the place.

The van comes to a stop.

Javier: Oh, shit...

You all hop out of the van. Tripp walks around the van.

Tripp: What a mess...

You all slowly approach the junkyard. It's riddled with dead walkers.

Clem: Jesus, must have been hundreds of them...

Javier: Kate's good in a crisis--she'd know how to get shelter.

Clem: What's that?

Javier gets on one knee and picks up a pick hammer.

A walker, that's on the floor, looks up and reaches out to Javier, but he hits it in the head with his pick hammer.

Javier picks up a cassette player and stands up.

Javier: Mariana's tape player... Mariana! Mariana, are you here?

A little girl, who you're assuming is Mariana, gets out of a car.

Mariana: Javi!

She runs over to Javier.

Javier: Oh, my god.

They hug each other.

Javier: You're safe... I can't believe it!

Mariana: You told me where to hide; I just listened to what you said.

They pull out of the hug.

Mariana: "Lock yourself in and don't come out, not even once it's quiet." It kept running through my head, like on a loop. I don't even know how long I was in there... Then I heard your voice. I thought I was hallucinating at first.

Javier: Did they hurt you? Are you okay?

Mariana: I hid before they could get to me. I'm fine, really.

Javier gets on one knee.

Javier: Kate and your brother--where are they?

Mariana: We got pulled apart when that huge bunch of muertos showed up. Kate yelled that they were gonna try to make it back to the van.

Javier: Then that's where we're headed.

Tripp: Let's go find your brother, sweetheart.

Javier notices their van and sees that it's all busted up.
