After Joel Miller and Tess killed the smuggler Robert, Marlene hired the pair to escort Ellie to the State House to deliver her to a group of Fireflies instead."The Quarantine Zone" However, FEDRA had begun cracking down on Firefly activity both inside and outside the Boston QZ. As such, the military found the Fireflies at the State House and killed them all. 
When Joel, Tess and Ellie arrived, more soldiers came to kill them as well. To buy Joel and Ellie time to escape, Tess confronted the soldiers alone, managing to kill two of them before the rest shot her to death. Joel and Ellie snuck outside the state house and avoided one of the military's Humvees by fleeing into the subway.
