## Plot

The group must recollect themselves after the herd rips through Crawford, destroying everything in its path.

## Synopsis

### Act One

Harper flashes to consciousness as the body of a walker dropped down next to her. She bursts up to see Matt standing with a bloody knife.

“Matt?” She mutters, and turns her attention to what Matt was staring at.

Amelio sat, back against the wall, his arm seething blood. He looked up at them, and then at the dead walker.

“What the hell is this? Who is that?” Matt demands, pointing the knife toward the sweating Amelio. He mumbles something to himself that neither Harper nor Matt understand, so Matt shoves the knife closer.

“Oberson.” Amelio mumbles once more, eyes intent on the corpse of Oberson.

### Act Two

Jason holds Izzie as her cries echo throughout the quiet apartment building. He turns his head as a woman behind him scoffs.

“You need to quiet down that baby or we’re gonna get found and we’re ALL dead.” She quietly demands. Jason glares at her, alongside the older people alongside her in the room.

“I don’t see any of you trying to help…” He mumbles, catching Lindsay’s attention.

“Have some respect. How old are you, young man?” Lindsay crosses her arms.

“I’m 18. As of yesterday.” He doesn’t take his focus off of the baby. Lindsay stares regretfully at him.

“I’ll take him.” She asks, approaching him arms extended to carry the crying baby. Jason smiles, passing the baby off to her, as she smiles back.

### Act Three

Kari sits his back against the door as the noise of walkers pounding against him rings in his ears. As time passes, gunshots echo in the distance, distracting the walkers. Finally alone, Kari stands.

With the noise of the walkers gone, he can make out the sound of faint cries coming from inside the building. He slowly tiptoes toward the source, making out a woman’s voice.

He finally reaches the source, to see Raven in a corner, crying to herself in a ball.

### Act Four

“Oberson?” Harper yells, staring at the corpse, “‘’That’’ is Oberson?”

Harper crosses her arms as Amelio nods regretfully.

“So what the hell does this mean? How long has he really been dead?” Matt asks, enraged.

Amelio coughs and winces in pain, “He...he died long before you got here. Jonathan…”

Amelio looks up at them, “Jonathan killed him, didn’t he?” Harper asks.

Amelio nods once more, “Yeah. After it happened...me and Theo. We knew there would be chaos and we knew there’d be blood. We had to cover it up.”

“So you formed a council to rule Crawford with an iron fist.” Matt condescendingly finished, “And you added the murderer to that council. Why in God’s name would you reward him for killing your leader?”

“BECAUSE I WANTED TO.” Amelio yelled, before falling back down due to the bite on his arm, “I wanted the power. I wanted to be in control. Oberson didn’t listen to a DAMN thing I said, and neither did Theo, and neither did Amanda. So after Jonathan...did it, I made it to where they had to listen to me. They knew the truth. I’m not the villain here.”

“No, you’re not.” Harper sighs, “But you’re one of them.”

Amelio coughs, “I kept Crawford intact. I kept my people safe. That’s more than you can say.”

Matt winced, “What is that supposed to mean?”

Amelio laughed, pointing at Harper, “Your own brother was captured. Because of your stupidity. Your group is fractured.”

Harper seethed with anger, “Fuck you. None of this would’ve happened if you’d been honest and not been a coward.”

“Quiet, sweetheart. It’s not even the best part. You…” he points at Matt, “You did Tara’s dirty work for her. You killed the guy she was after. You’re nothing but a lackey.”

“How the hell do you know that?” Matt punched Amelio across the face, “HOW?”

“Eyes on the inside.” Amelio smirked.

### Act Five

Kari kneels down in front of Raven, placing a hand on her shoulder. She pushes him away.

“Look, what happened out there…” He sighs, “People will be upset. But you don’t have to stay here and die alone. Ask for forgiveness. It was the heat of the moment. You made a bad call. Someone died. But that’s what you have to be remembered for.”

Raven sniffles, wiping away a tear, “It’s all my fault. If I had kept my mouth shut…”

“What do you mean?” Kari raises an eyebrow.

“It’s not important. But you’re right.” Raven stands up, a notepad falling out of her lap. Raven, unnoticing, walks toward the door. Kari picks up the notepad, revealing notes written by Raven:

Harper and I are at a disagreement to the plan of action…

He flips the pages

Matt gunned him down. Harper left him to die. These people are crazy.

He shakes his head in disbelief, searching through the pages even more

I have to report back. Day 135 of the mission, out.

“Give that back!” Raven shouts, reaching for the notepad. Kari turns to her in disbelief.

“What the hell is this?” He asks, as Raven stares at the floor.

### Act Six

“Please…” Amelio begs, “Shoot me. I don’t wanna turn.”

Harper shakes her head, “Tell me who the mole is.”

Amelio chuckles, “You already know who it is.”

Harper removes her pistol from its holster, and looks at Matt, signaling for him to leave the room. Matt nods, exiting.

“I’m going to kill you, either way.” Harper points the gun to his forehead, “But how quick? That’s up to you.”

She slowly moves the gun down to his right kneecap, causing him to shudder.

“I don’t need to tell you.” Amelio begs, “Just...please do it.”

“Fine. I’ll do it.” Harper fires a round into Amelio’s knee, causing him to scream loudly in pain.

“FUCK YOU!” He attempts to cover the wound with his hands to relinquish some pain, “RAVEN! IT WAS FUCKING RAVEN!”

“Figures.” Harper scoffs, “Didn’t take much to break you. And it sure didn’t take much to turn you into a coward and a monster, either.”

Amelio looked away, as Harper stood over him, “Think about all of the people who died because of you. Because you wanted to be in control.”

“I was trying to do what was best...for everyone.” Amelio moaned.

“No…” Harper shook her head, “You did what was best for yourself. Everything else was just collateral damage.”

Amelio raised his head, staring at Harper, “Do it.”

Matt waited outside, as a final gunshot rang in his ears. He looked toward the door as Harper exited.

“Let’s go.”

### Act Seven

Andrea enters the apartment once more, with Theo close behind her. Andrea looked around to see Lindsay holding Izzie, and Jason with his eyes trained on the windows, looking for any signs of his dad.

“You guys holding up okay?” Andrea asked, with Lindsay perking up.

“We’re fine. Any luck?” Linsday asked, her hopes raised. She was disappointed as Andrea shook her head. Jason, angry, walked away.

“Jason, wait.” Theo called out. Jason reluctantly returned, “We have to talk. Not here.”

Lindsay perked up once more, paying attention as the three exited and went to the apartment to the left of the one they were currently in. Curious, Lindsay entered a room in this apartment to listen on their conversation, closing the door behind her.

“We found walkers eating Omid. He didn’t make it.” Theo tells Jason.

“Damn.” Jason sighs, “What about my dad?”

“There’s no sign of him anywhere. Best case scenario, he made it out and is fine. We saw Lane making it out, but we couldn’t catch up with him.” Andrea declares.

“I’m sure he’s fine, Jason.” Theo places a hand on his shoulder.

“Yeah. I’m sure.” Jason sighs.

### Act Eight

“Why do you have this?” Kari demands, pointing to Raven’s notepad.

“Amelio.” Raven quietly mutters, shocking Kari, “He asked me to…”

Kari throws his hands in the air, “I knew we couldn’t fucking trust that bastard.”

“And he knew he couldn’t trust you!” Raven finally yelled, “Ever since you got here, your stories have been shady. What really happened to my sister?”

Kari laughed in a hostile manner, “We’ve told you! Ten thousand times! She LEFT! To go find you. That’s how we knew you were in Savannah.”

“Or you killed her and got her to tell you where Crawford was.” Raven replied.

“You sound like a fucking idiot, you know that, right?” Kari asked, as Raven bowed her head.

### Act Nine

“So...he’s dead?” Matt asked Harper as they moved alongside the wall of Crawford, searching for an escape route.

“Yep.” Harper coldly responds, searching.

“I’m not gonna say he didn’t deserve it, after all, all these people dying was his fault, but…” Matt sighs, “Did we do the right thing?”

“Of course we did.” Harper stops, looking at Matt, “We found out the truth. And the truth can’t be the wrong thing, right?”

Matt nods, as they hear yelling from somewhere down an alley. Harper and Matt race to find the person, running into Lane being tackled by a walker. Harper quickly dispatches the threat and helps Lane up.

“Thank you…” Lane mumbles, out of breath, “Please...help me get out of here.”

Matt scoffs, “Cheryl died because of you. No way in hell am I helping you. Let’s go, Harp.”

Harper remains unmoved, “No.”

Matt looks to Harper, “So you’ll kill Amelio but you’ll let ‘’him’’ come with us?”

“Matt, the way you explained it...Lane got scared. He ran off, you would’ve done the same thing.”

“Like hel-”

“It’s over. Let’s go.”

Matt shakes his head as Lane follows Harper to the wall.

### Act Ten

“Do you hear that?” Andrea asks, as shuffling is heard outside of the door. Theo takes note and goes for the front door. As he opens it, he comes face to face with around five walkers. Jason jumps to Theo’s rescue, pulling him back, and shutting the door.

“What the shit?!” Andrea yells, with Theo shivering. Suddenly, a noise can be heard from the apartment next door.

Someone opened the door.

Andrea, Theo, and Jason listen as the walkers flood into the other apartment, hearing the residents of Crawford screaming and crying for help.

“Oh, my God…” Andrea mutters, “Izzie was in there…”

Theo’s eyes widen, and he falls back against the floor in sadness.

### Act Eleven

Lindsay sits against the wall to her room, as Izzie cries heavily. Lindsay whimpers, listening to the chomps of the undead devouring her teammates outside of the room.

“Shh sh sh...it’s okay, baby…” She comforts Izzie, as one of the walkers brushes against the door. She winces.

The brush becomes a bang. And suddenly, three walkers are pouncing onto the door, desperate to get in.

### Act Twelve

Outside of Crawford, Harper, Matt, and Lane move along a small road. They kill off small packs of walkers they come across.

“We’ve been walking forever, Matt...how far is this place again?” Harper asks, exhausted.

“It’s another two or three miles, give or take.” Matt answers.

“Where are we going, again?” Lane asks, curious.

“There’s an old boating exhibit we told the others to meet us at. Hopefully they made it.” Matt responds, “Aye, look out!”

Suddenly, a pack of around fifteen walkers emerged from a building, drawn to their voices.

“Oh, shit!” Harper begins escaping, running toward a busted down car. Matt and Lane attempt to follow, however, are cornered. Harper attempts to go in for a save, but she’s pushed down by a walker.

“HARPER!” Matt yells, looking at Lane.

“What do we do!?” Lane yells, getting ready to fight. Matt shakes his head quickly, thinking to himself.

“I’m sorry.” Matt tells Lane, who is confused, as Matt stabs Lane in the leg. Lane screams in agony, as Matt stabs his other leg, and shoves him to the ground.

“WHAT THE FUCK!?” Lane screams, as the walkers pour onto him, biting into his flesh. Matt, seizing the opportunity, rushes to help Harper. He kicks the walker on the head, bashing its head onto the ground, and continues stomping until it is nothing but decayed brains.

“Thanks.” Harper tells him, standing up, “Lane?!”

Matt looks over at the pack of walkers devouring Lane’s quiet corpse. Harper sighs, putting her knife in its holster.

“We should go.” Matt shakes his head. Harper nods, and the two continue on their way without Lane.

### Act Thirteen

Andrea takes point, entering the apartment, and watches as the undead feast on the residents of Crawford.

“Dammit…” Andrea mutters, sighing at the carnage, “Well…”

“We should probably clear them out.” Theo shakes his head. Andrea and Jason agree, and Andrea and Theo use their knives to start taking out the walkers in the room. Jason finally reveals his knife, and takes down two walkers. Theo smiles at him. The three continue on, planting knives in the heads of the dead Crawford residents.

“Where’s…?” Jason looks around at the bodies, searching for Izzie for confirmation.

“The baby?” Theo raises an eyebrow.

“We should look around.” Andrea shakes her head, opening a door to a room, as she’s rushed by Lindsay with a knife. Andrea yelps, and jumps back. Lindsay stops in her tracks in shock, before breaking down crying. Izzie begins crying alongside her.

Jason smiles.

### Act Fourteen

“What happened to Lane?” Harper asks Matt, as they walk down the empty highway, “How did he die?”

Matt sighs, “He...made a dumb mistake. Tried to stab a walker right in the middle of the pack. Got crowded pretty easily after that.”

Harper gives Matt a side eye look that goes unnoticed, “Right. Such a shame.”

“Yep.” Matt continues walking, hearing a calling.

“HEY!” Matt and Harper are on high alert, hearing the calling from behind them. They turn to see Jason, running up to them for help.

“Jason?!” Harper asks, running to get him, “How did you get out alone?”

“I didn’t.” Jason turns his head, revealing Theo, Andrea, Lindsay, and Izzie turning a corner.

“Need some company?” Andrea asks, smirking.

### Act Fifteen

“Okay, so...HOW did this happen? Why did it start?” Kari asked, enraged.

“It all started when Amelio was worried about them snooping around Oberson’s office too much…” Raven responded coldly, “I offered my help. I wanted the truth about Renee.”

“We’ve told you…” Kari places his face in his hands, distraught, “We’ve told you EVERYTHING we know.”

Raven shakes her head, “I just don’t believe you. There’s no way Renee wouldn’t find me.”

Kari yells, “MAYBE SHE DIED ON HER WAY HERE!”

Raven sits shocked, blood boiling, “What?”

Kari grunts, “She could’ve died after we last saw her. And if she were alive and could see what you were doing, she’d be disappointed in you.”

Enraged, Raven lunged at Kari with her pen, attempting to stab him. Kari, defensively, pushed her away, slamming her back on the edge of a table. Raven screamed out in pain.

“SHIT!” Kari yelled, going to help her.

“Fuck…” Raven grunts, unable to move, “You did this…”

“I didn’t…” Kari shudders, “I didn’t mean to.”

“I don’t care anymore…” Raven looks at her legs, unable to move them, “I’m…”

Raven, dazed, looks to Kari in pain, “I’m dead because of you.”

Kari watched as Raven died in his arms from her injuries. He shakes his hand, grabbing her notepad. He approaches the exit, looking once more at her body, and exits the building.
