## Synopsis

“Darwin? Darwin? Do you copy?” Milo tries to contact Darwin but gets no response. Milo puts down the walkie-talkie and Reed asked. “Do you think? He got…” Milo sighs. “Well that’s means he has made a mistake, he died because of that dumbass mistake he made.”

Reed felt like Milo is ungrateful for Darwin’s help which indeed Milo is. Milo turns to Reed and asked. “How are the prisoners?”

“They’re fine.” Reed responds, Reed sat down and tries to rest but Milo yelled. “What is your lazy ass doing here? Go check on them!”

Reed heads to the cell and opens the door, he called out. “Are you guys alright? Yeah I hope so.” He then closes the door and he quickly runs towards his bed and lies down on it. “My job is done!”

After a few minutes, Reed was half-awake when he suddenly hears somebody’s voice. “Wake up Reed…” Reed wakes up and he suddenly felt pain on his knee. Reed stood up to see a knife thrusted into his knee.

“What the heck?” Reed screams in pain as Milo smiled. “Have fun sleeping? Lazy ass.”

“The pain…” Reed cries as he falls from the bed to the ground. Milo grins and leans over to the bleeding Reed and mocked him. “Go check on them.”

Reed slowly gets up and started heading towards the cell. He sat down and lean against the wall, he slowly reaches for the knife thrusted into his knee and quickly pulls it out before screaming again in pain.

He takes out a cloth and covers his wound but there’s still a lot of blood coming out of it.

Melvin sees a horde of skin-eaters strolling towards him and sees Ezra, Angeline and Rose in the distance. “It’s best if Rose and Ezra be with the dead, I will save Angeline and she will love me again.” He muttered to himself.

Melvin covers himself with skin-eater blood and began luring the horde to Ezra, Angeline and Rose.

Ezra, Angeline and Rose were walking when they suddenly saw the horde walking towards in a distant. Ezra turns to Angeline and Rose. “Let’s leave.”

“Okie dokie.” Angeline and Rose replied before all of them turn around and walked away.

Melvin tries to make sure his horde was able to keep up with Ezra, Angeline and Rose but they quickly disappeared from sight. “What the hell!-”

Reed was able to cover up his wound and stopped the bleeding and he smiled at his success. “Finally,” There was already a pool of blood on the ground as Reed was shocked at the amount of blood he already lost. “Oh shit.”

Thomas continues standing there with his machete and Reina asked him. “Are you going to stand there the whole time?” Thomas sighed. “I guess so.”

Cassey turns to Ryder and asked. “Do you think Damon’s a bad person?” Ryder replies. “I don’t think he’s bad, he’s just with a bad kid.” Damon hears some footsteps and he alerted everyone. “Guys, I hear footsteps!”

Everyone stood beside the door as the door suddenly clicks open. Thomas grips his machete tightly and when he sat a foot steps in he quickly slashes his machete. The skin-eater falls to the ground and Thomas looks outside to see several skin-eaters approaching the cell. “Oh shit!”

Thomas closes the door and the skin-eaters outside began banging on the door. Milo and Reed watched from a distance and Reed who was apparently confused asked Milo. “Are you just going to leave them to die?”

“It’s best if they be with the dead.” Milo replies with an evil voice.

Thomas looks at the dead Ken and he rushes to the dead Ken and stabs his guts and slices the skin open, he put his inside the guts and began covering himself with the blood. Reina was shocked at this and screamed. “What are you doing?”

“We have to cover ourselves with the blood or else we are not going to make it.” Thomas answered her. Thomas turns to Damon, Cassey and Ryder. “Okay guys, you’re turn.”

“Disgusting,” Damon muttered to himself in utter disgust but he has to if he wants to live. After they finished covering themselves with the blood, Thomas asked everyone. “Are you guys ready?”

Nobody said anything except Rex who just nodded in silent. Thomas immediately drew to a conclusion. “Okay!” Thomas opens the door and the skin-eaters quickly ran inside. Milo smiled at this sight and he turns to Reed. “Our job is done, let’s go.”

They walked to the top of the building to see skin-eaters everywhere; Reed turns to Milo and asked. “What are we going to do now?” Milo glares at Reed. “Now, we just wait for our next survivor.”

The sound of running suddenly catches their attention, Milo and Reed turned around only for Thomas to run up towards them and kicked Reed to the ground. Thomas then aims his machete at Milo’s throat and yelled. “What the hell is wrong with you Milo?”

Reed gets up and tries to pull Thomas’s arm away from Milo but Thomas angrily turns around and slits Reed’s chest with his machete.

Reed falls to the ground still alive while Milo runs away ungrateful for what Reed did to save him.

Thomas aims his machete at the half-dead Reed and yelled. “What the hell asshole?”
