==Episode==
We open on a stretch of road with the sun shinning down on a coyote has it trots along the road sniffing along for food. It pauses at a potential meal only to bark and back away has the body; actually a walker shifts. 
Slade: Looks like someone drew the short straw.
He shoots the walker; a man dressed in soldier fatigues before looking at the cowering coyote. It snarls but stays back.
Slade: Ah don't give me that, should be thanking me for saving you a bad stomach.
He turns and we se a few viechles in the distance has he pulls out a radio while looking at the corpse.
Slade: All clear here but, you were right, this guy was defiantly one of our friends.
Henderson's voices comes over the radio.
Henderson: Your sure about that?
Slade checks again.
Slade: Pretty sure and this guy ai'nt a rasin....
He pokes the body with a stick.
Slade: Still fairly juice, id say a few days old, no bites that I can see but, a long of bandages round the stomach. 
He shakes his head.
Slade: Poor bastard bled out and they dumped him like garbage.
Henderson: Save the eulogy and get back here, we got more miles to cover before sun down. 
Slade nods and we fade to a montage of a small convoy of viechles traveling down the road. We see various members of the "Team" that has joined Moe on this little endeavour. Among them is Slade, Karina, James, Tamera and Adam spread through various viechles. We zoom into the viechle shared by Slade, Karina and Adam
Slade: You know I am surprised you came on a hunt like this.
Karina looks over: Hey got to get back in the saddle at some point and what can I say I need the exercise.
Slade: The "Boys" have nothing to say about that?
Karina: Nathan was worried but he knew it something I gota do and we both have an agreement.
Adam: What kind of an agreement?
Karina: Find, rescue avenge or put down if need be... the other guy said he would do that slowly to Moe if anything happened to me. 
Slade: Well I guess loyalty only goes so far?
Karina: He's worried but, he knows if was him here it would get ugly.... the other gut's not that interested about following someone off a cliff.
Adam: And here I thought he would be up for the bloodshed.
Karina: Bloodshed with a reason behind it and this.... well....
They all go quite and look ahead to the viechle in front where Moe is riding, the man is writing something in a journal.
Adam v.o: Follow Ahab might be a stretch to far. 
The radio blares up for everyone then, Tamera's voice coming though.
Tamera v.o: Heads up guys we got a scene up ahead. 
Slade picks up the radio/
Slade: What kind of situation?
Tamera V,O: Trust me you will know it when you see it. 
We switch to a scene of carnage; what was once a small settlement has been blown to hell and back. The wall breached, bodies strewn and a few walkers wandering or scavenging. All in all if the settlement looks like it was punched through like sheet metal.
Henderson: What ever happened here was quick and brutal, I can make out several areas of damage by heavy arms fire.
Moe: Survivors?
Henderson: Cant tell from here but if their are their either fled or something else. 
He puts his goggles away, rubbing his eyes and notices Moe's look at the devastation. He knows a haunted man when he see's one.
Henderson: It might not be our "friends" lots of these little settlements have their own problems to worry about.
Moe doesn't say anything, still looking; feeling like their are more lives to add to his conscience. The sound of people approaching gets his attention. Raised voices and angry shouting. 
Karina: Not yet you ass, your not dying yet. 
Tamera: Easy Karina....
We see the two and two soldiers leading a prisoner; a Russian soldier up to the others. In the back some of the others are leading someone else to one of the viechles.
James: We need a medic!
Moe: What is this?
Karina: It was them alright; found this rat hiding in a loft.
She kicks the bloody man forward; he looks malnourished bloody but not from a walker. True there is an old bandage but its clear he received a recent beating. 
Moe: Karina what happened/
Karina: He wasn't alone......
Moe: Karina?
She is shaking, haunted by something Moe can guess after near miss at being attacked a few seasons ago. Tamera takes over for her.
Tamera: He had a women with him, a prisoner... he did things to her.... we got her free and James took her to the medics.
Moe: Will she live?
Tamera: Hard to say but i doubt she will be talking for a time... shock.
Moe nods.
Henderson: And him?
Tamera eyes the prisoner and its clear he might not have had Karina been left to deal with him.
Tamera: He's gona look interesting but, bastard will live. Though the bastard hasn't said a lick of English since we pulled him from his hole,
She gives him a sour look has do the others. Henderson spits in the dirt. 
Henderson: Don't worry we have an interpretuer just in case he really can give us a straight answer.
He nods to the soldiers who take the man away.
Henderson: We will patch him up first and then.....
Moe: We will get answers.
They nod and we fade to black.
