Alex: My parents are missing.

Amber: Awww, poor kid. Alex: Thanks. That feels so much better. Amber: Should we take the kid in.

Marcus and Hayden: Yes. We don't want him to suffer out here. Alex: Is this where you live?
 * The four of them walk to a log cabin.

Hayden: Yes, this is where we live. Alex: This place is nice. Look, a fire!
 * They walk in.

Marcus: Yeah, kiddo. It'll keep us warm.

Amber: It'll take some time to get used to living here. Why don't you draw some pictures?

Alex: That's a great idea! Hayden: Marcus.
 * Amber grabbed some paper, a pencil, and some crayons and gave them to Alex so he can draw. Hayden and Marcus talk by the fire.

Marcus: Yeah Hayden?

Hayden: Was taking in the child a good idea?

Marcus: Yeah. It's better to have him be in here nice and safe than outside and vunerable to zombies.

Hayden: What would happen if his parents come home and they accuse us of kidnapping him?

Marcus: There are no laws in this world anymore. We have to do what we can to survive.
