Shannon - Auto Garage

Shannon meekly nodded her head and her flush intensified. "Excuse me, then." She placed her backpack and gun down on a tool desk, leaving the auto garage in a hurry. She was desperate to get her business done and over with, now that it was on her mind. "So dumb," she mumbled to herself, circling around the auto garage. She stopped to listen again, but was met with silence. Shannon rolled here eyes and shuffled into the alley behind the garage.

It was dark out there, and cramped. A lump of anxiety lodged itself in the back of Shannon's throat. She swallowed hoarsely, her heart thumping loudly in her chest. Her nose wrinkled at the nearby dumpster, and she put her back against the cement wall. It was either now or never. She grit her teeth and began to tug at her pants when she realized- "Wait, fuck!" It was too goddamned silent! There was a chance something had spooked the insects. Shannon could swear that was a thing. She had heard it on a nature show years ago... Maybe.

Thump

Something had bumped the other side of the dumpster, making Shannon jump and push herself off the wall. "Psst!" she whispered. "Hey." A scratching noise emitted from the dumpster to answer her. Distantly, she remembered having left her weapons inside, but it didn't matter. She had to check the noise out anyway.

Shannon shook her head and slowly approached the dumpster, deciding to take a closer look. There was still a small bit of light in the sky, illuminating the dumpster. Shannon could just see something moving. She inched closer, finally finding a-

Hiss!

Shannon jumped back from the cat. It looked feral and blind in one eye. Its grey fur was patchy, almost mangy looking. Shannon waved her hand and stomped, trying to run the cat off. "Go away!" she said vehemently. The cat hissed again and turned, mewling angrily as it walked out of sight. Shannon sighed, relieved to be alone now.

She came back into the garage a minute later, touching at her hair. "Watch out for stray cats out there."

From the rooftops, Damian Copperton spies on the group in the train yard. After deciding not to deal with the group, he encounters a woman named Holly.

Also having spied the train yard group, Tom "Tommy" Brown hides in the bushes and takes aim at the unfamiliar group.

In search of a new shelter, Rob O'Dara spies Damian and Holly on the rooftops. He cautiously attempts to get only Holly's attention, but manages to just put the rooftop pair on edge. After an awkward standoff, the trio discuss the idea of traveling together.

In a rundown convenience store, Shannon Greene mourns the loss of her friend Lexi. After leaving the store, she soon encounters James Feryana, who asks to join up with her.

Grimm asks Jessalyn and Lynn for water, food, or shelter. Lynn tells Grimm that they don't have anything to spare, but that he can stay in one of the other train cars. Lynn makes it clear that she doesn't trust him. The two women then talk about doing their laundry, and Grimm offers them a ride into the city. Floyd reveals himself and tells the group that it's too dangerous inside the city. He then tells Grimm to leave.

Damian informs Rob and Holly of his base inside the bell tower. He tells the pair that if they don't pull their weight he will quickly abandon them.

A man being attacked by a walker wanders into the train yard. Lynn goes to take care of both of them and Jessalyn sits down to talk with Grimm and Floyd. She tells the pair that Lynn doesn't trust new people, especially men. She believes she still has a few months before her baby is due.

Frustrated with the attitudes of Lynn and Floyd, Grimm leaves on his own. After raiding a 7/11, Grimm drives off to parts unknown.

Emma leaves the store and is found limping by the train yard group on the railroad tracks. After finding the church ransacked, Aleck returns to Emma.

The trio find Amelia "Rose" Stephens ransacking Daniel's base. Daniel is impressed with the woman's military background and asks her to join them.

When Daniel asks James if he's seen a girl matching his sister Emma's description, James informs him that he saw a girl who looked like that back at the train yard. Enraged, Daniel immediately leaves to go back and find her. Ashamed she fired on innocent people, Shannon asks Daniel if she can go with him. She asks Amelia to look after James while they are gone.

Drawn by the previous gunfire, the train yard group is attacked by walkers. Both Jack and Tom die in the attack. During the attack, the raiders come and kidnap Lynn and Emma.
