The state stretches in front of them. Our group grows weary. Tempers on edge, nothing seems to be going right.

The canvas of the overrun town proves to be great as here are many needed items just laying about. Louis finds pills by the hundreds, Zoey finds some new tennis shoes, Francis finds a trove of hateful things, and Bill finds cigarettes. Bill also picks up a small silver bottle that he slips into his back pocket.

As our survivors sit and talk someone mentions a fact no one has asked for some time. THat someone being the chronocally pesamistic Nick, " We heard a radio broadcast that led us to Sacramento. When we finally found what and where it was, it almost killed us. Now we are following the instructions that were left with it. Is anyone else beginning to have doubts about any of this. It seems that every time we call for help on a radio, we end up in hordes and special infected that would rather turn us into a meal rather than see us escape. How do we know now that we aren't being set up yet again."

"Girl what are you talking about?" grouses Bill. "I just climbed out from under a tank and you say now we have problems." Zoey look back at Bill and points towards the south. A fire is burning through the town and slowly approaching the group. Bill looks at Zoey, shakes his head he says "Zoey the fire is burning but we are not in any danger of it catchinig us."

Something didn't seem right with that guy at the mall. How could he have known we were in his Brothers store back East? Rochelle asked the group as they settled in back on the campus.

It appears that from the map seen in this old dorm room taht there is a strip mall at the other end of this road. It shows storees such as a department store, a clothing store, possibly a sporting goods store, and maybe even a Burger Tank for you Coach.

After Bill and Francis return sticky but none the worse for ware after the beating they took from the Hormonal Little Bitch. Zoey sees them coming back and busts into laughter as Francis is trying to rub the candy out of his hair (what little he has) and Bill scrubbing at his hat (because it has taken the brunt of the lollipop attack. Lewis looks over his companions and laughs hard enough to make his eyes water.

As our survivors load up with supplies they start again west. As they start away from the ranch they hear a scream and a commotion in the pond across the street from the house. The survivors are shocked to see a lone survivor as he is being dragged towards the waters edge.

The group jumps as Nick's sounds a single report. As the survivors turn and look they expect to see the shattered remains of the newcomer. However, the newest recruit is getting to his feet none to steadily as the bullett struck a mear two inches from his head. The way I got it figured we should arrive in a town that gone bankrupt before the zombies took over so that means there was lawlessness before the carnage. This could work to our advantage as most people fled from there before hand because there was no law left to protect them.

As our survivors take turns sleeping at the ranch they have discovered a terrlible scream is heard coming from Lewis's room. As the survivors race to his room they find Lewis sitting up drentched in sweat.
