After stopping, Kyle, Sarah and Rachel exit the train with the other survivors standing about.

Kyle: We'll be back......

Shawn: Alright, I'll take a group to scavenge while you're gone....

Sarah: Cool.

James: Might be some shit worth collecting around here....

Joseph: Yeah, Margaret and I will come with you...

Shawn, James, Margaret, Cassandra and Joseph walk off from the Myrmidon. Later on, Kyle, Sarah and Rachel walk along the trails with Kyle following a map with mark on its page.

Rachel: I'm going to start guessing.

Kyle: You wanna spoil your surprise?

Rachel: I think I do.

Sarah shakes her head.

Rachel: Is it a bunny?

Kyle scoffs.

Kyle: Would you quit trying to guess?

Sarah: Cause we're not telling you.

Rachel: Is it a giraffe?

Sarah: No.

Rachel: Is it a wholly mammoth? Is it a dragon?

Kyle grumbles as Sarah smiles.

Rachel: Is it a sports car?

Kyle: You're not gonna guess.

Sarah: Nor are you old enough to drive.

Rachel: Does that matter in a apocalypse?

Sarah sighs.

Rachel: Is it a puppy? Is it a shitload of kittens?

Sarah: You mean a litter?

Rachel: What's a litter?

Kyle: A bunch of kittens.

Rachel: Then why don't you call a bunch of kittens instead?

Kyle: We don't know. It's called a litter.

The three come up to this ledge and Kyle pushes a branch back for Rachel to shimmy her way through.

Sarah: Mind your step.

Rachel walks up and past Kyle and Sarah.

Rachel: I got it.

Rachel starts to walk past when Kyle gets behind her and pushes her.

Kyle: Oh, dearie me.

Rachel lets out a surprised yell and falls into the water.

Sarah: Kyle!

Kyle and Sarah start to laugh as Rachel resurfaces.

Rachel: What the hell is wrong with you?

Kyle: The look on your face right now.

Rachel: What if I had drowned?!

Sarah: You're not gonna drown. Don't worry, sweetie.

Kyle and Sarah laugh.

Rachel: Yeah, keep laughing, you two.

Kyle points up ahead.

Kyle: This way.

Rachel: You guys suck!

Rachel starts to swim.

Kyle: You really conquered your fear of deep water.
