A few minutes later a woman walks out and says "well hello there. My name is Crystal, and I am the leader here at Oceanside. Sandy and Moira then introduce themselves. Crystal then offers them to come in so that she can talk to them. Once inside Crystal tells Sandy and Moira to sit down. "It is so nice to meet you both" Crystal says. Crystal then asks Sandy and Moira how long the have been on the road. Sandy tells she has been on the road since this all started and that she met Moira 4 months later. Crystal then asks Moira what she was doing when all this started. Moira tells her that she was trying to get away from her abusive ex-boyfriend who was keeping her prisoner. Crystal apologizes to Moira for that and asks her what happened to her ex. Moira tells Crystal that he died and Crystal says "that is for the best, I hate abusive men". The sun start going down, so Crystal tells Sandy and Moira they can continue their conversation tomorrow. Crystal then calls Pete and tells him to show Sandy and Moira to their own house. "Our own house" Moira says. "Yes, we have our own houses here" Pete says. Crystal tells Sandy and Moira goodnight.

The next morning Sandy and Moira talk about how they think this place could be their new home. Pete and Crystal then knock at the door and Sandy lets them in. "So we talked about it, and, we would love to have you 2 join Oceanside" Crystal says. Sandy and Moira then thank them and say they will do whatever they can to help out. Crystal then tells Sandy and Moira to follow her so she can show them around some more. Sandy thanks Pete for bringing them and Pete smiles and says it was his pleasure. Crystal starts showing Sandy and Moira around when suddenly an old man sneaks up on Moira and starts smelling her hair. "Umm, excuse me" Moira says. Pete then pulls the man off and tells Moira "He is not in his right mind, but I promise you he is harmless, he actually has low functioning autism". "oh, I understand, I don't hold it against him" Moira says. Crystal then says "the guy we have to worry about is Jerome, He is constantly hitting on woman here". Moira says she will keep that in mind. Sandy tells Moira she will keep her safe and kisses her. Crystal and Pete then bring Sandy and Moira in a building. "This is where we have a party every once in awhile to help us remember the old days". 'Wow" Sandy says. Sandy then asks Moira if she would like to dance. Moira says "why of coarse". Sandy and Moira then start dancing together as Crystal and Pete smile and watch. After they finish dancing Crystal then goes to show them the ocean. "This is why we call it Oceanside" Pete says. 'It's so beautiful" says Moira. After gazing at the ocean for a few minutes Crystal tells Sandy and Moira to explore while she and Pete tend to a few things

3 weeks later Sandy and Moira have been happily living at Oceanside. Sandy and Moira have become girlfriends and have made some friends at Oceanside. Sandy and Moira are sitting and talking with Pete and Crystal and a few of their friends when a middle aged man starts hitting on Moira. "Jerome, Jerome leave her alone NOW" Pete yells. "So that must be the lovely Jerome Sandy says. Crystal apologizes to Moira about Jerome and Moira says it is ok. Crystal then asks the group what all they were doing when the outbreak started. Sandy says that 1 year before it happened she met a homeless woman on the street and let her stay with her and her sister. Sandy then says how the woman got her sister addicted and a week after it started her sister overdosed and she had to shoot her. "What happened to the woman?" Pete asks. Sandy says she forced her to leave but that she saw her again a few weeks ago at a community called Howes Hardware. "we had only just got there that day, but a woman helped us escape that night because it seemed like a bad place, the woman even said her group were planning on leaving" says Moira. Crystal then says she is sorry for all Sandy and Moira have gone through. Suddenly Jerome starts staring at Moira, which makes her very uncomfortable. Sandy then walks over to Jerome and demands that he stops staring at Moira. Jerome then says "I'd fuck you both and make you gag on my dick". Sandy, who is very disgusted slaps him in the face before storming off back to her table. "I am so sorry Sandy" Crystal says. Sandy tells her it is not her fault. A few minutes later the group disperses to do their own thing.

The next day Sandy tells Crystal that Jerome was at their house last night. Crystal apologizes to Sandy. 'Why do you just apologize can't you do something to stop him" Crystal gets a sad look on her face and says "he is my, he's my father and I can not just kick him out, he needs professional help but we can't do that anymore. Sandy then says "there has to be something we can do". Crystal tells Sandy that her father scares her and she is afraid of what he might do to her if she turns on him. Pete then walks up and says "well we could lock him up" Crystal sighs and tells Sandy that she will give her father a warning and if he goes near Moira again then she will lock him up. Sandy thanks her and Crystal gives her a hug and tells her she is sorry again. Pete then asks Sandy if she and Moira would like to go hunting later. Sandy says she would love to and that she will go let Moira know. Sandy then goes home and gets ready. After getting ready she goes to let Moira know. Sandy enters the room but she sees a blood at the foot of the door. Sandy then looks up and gasps in horror, Moira's lifeless and bloody corpse is on the foot of the bed. Sandy then falls backwards and screams. Crystal hears her screams and rushes in the house. "OH NO" Crystal says. "Your father did this to her" Sandy says. "He must have done it sometime this morning, I am so sorry Sandy" "ENOUGH WITH YOUR FUCKING SORRIES, YOU DID NOTHING TO STOP HIM" Crystal then tells Sandy she will make sure her father is punished for this. Crystal then goes and gets Pete and brings him to the room. "Jesus" Pete says. Pete and Crystal then help Sandy up of the ground and console her before walking her away from the grisly sight. Crystal then says she is going to find Jerome. Crystal storms out and begins to look for Jerome as Pete continues to console Sandy. "I am so sorry Sandy" Pete says. Crystal then returns and tells Sandy and Pete that she can not find her father anywhere. Sandy then says 'when I find him, I am going to RIP HIS FUCKING HEART OUT". Pete then tells Sandy and Crystal that he will let all of Oceanside know what happened and to look for Jerome.

After a town discussion one of the residents suddenly screams "I found him" Crystal then tells the person to bring Jerome to her. "I have been too afraid you father, but now I have decided to not be scared anymore" Crystal says to Jerome. Sandy then walks over to Jerome and kicks him in the face over and over until Pete drags her away screaming. Crystal then commands Pete to lock Jerome up so that they can figure out what to do with him.

Days later, Sandy sits outside the room where Jerome is locked in. Sandy yells at Jerome from the other side of the wall about how lucky he is that she is not in there with him. Jerome just manically laughs and says "why you were out, I raped her and I loved it, She just would not shut up so I had to kill her". Sandy then screams "I AM GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU MOTHERFUCKER". Suddenly Crystal and Pete barge in and ask what is going on. Sandy tells them that they need to execute him. Crystal at first is against the idea, but then says "It has been long overdue".
