Gwen remembered the other man in their team when they rescued her. He defended their base when they went out for supplies and was also very strong. David also listened to him and was clearly their leader. But he also was very strange, he didn't want to help them, and they knew it was only because of David's request that he agreed.

Gwen nodded, hoping David would make Mark agree. She wanted revenge. She had the same thoughts as David. Zombies aren't something they could predict and do anything but survive against, but humans were different. Attacking an already broken group was very low, and they played with them. She also knew it wasn't completely David's fault, he only suggested because he felt for them.

Silence took over after her nod. Both didn't want to talk about anything. But it broke when Denton came back into the living room.

"Alright then, let's go. I need to go back to the camp." And David nodded, getting up from his seat.

Denton wished the girl a goodbye while David just nodded. His thoughts were on the promise he just gave. After giving out the promise and the initial rage settled down, he thought about it and knew it would be a bit hard to get Mark to agree on it. Even though it was the same target, Mark wouldn't purposefully agree to bring in unknown people who would drag the team and during raids like this, a minor mistake would cost a life.

They walk towards the door and as David exited, Denton followed him before saying, "The kid should wake up anytime now." to Gwen and came out.

Gwen walked up to the door and said in a plain tone, "Remember your promise." to David before closing the door.

Denton looked at David before walking towards the end of the hallway with him. He heard the voices from the living room and finally understood the whole problem. He couldn't help but sigh in pity at how unlucky the two kids are to lose everyone while they were traveling to a safer place.

'They were at the wrong place at the wrong time with those zombies, but those bastards. They must have been camping on the routes to our camp, so they could ambush and steal." Denton gritted his teeth when he remembered her speaking about the goons in the city because if it wasn't for that reason how could they not know about the goon activity near them. They were silently attacking the weaker groups.

They reached the end of the hallway and got into the Jeep. Denton started the car, looked at David who wasn't like when they came. He had a more serious face, unlike the face full of sadness when they came.

He knew what the man was thinking about. A promise. He couldn't hear what the promise was about from the rooms he was in because after the rage from the girl, things quoted down a lot and he couldn't pick up on things. But the girl said to remember the promise when she closed the door. Now David was thinking deeply about something, which most likely was that promise.

"Do you need any help?" He offered as he slowly drove through the streets.

David shook his head and replied, "It's ok." And continued thinking about what he should say to Mark so that he could convince him to involve two teenagers who probably never used a gun for all they know.

The car was silent as Denton didn't continue their quickly ended conversation. The car stopped right in front of the camp's gate and he said, "Do you need me to ask someone to drive you home?"

David shook his head and got down to switch seats. Denton gave him a handshake as they met in front of the car and said, "I don't know what you're thinking about, but if you need some help, I would try to help if possible."

David gave a nod and got in the Jeep. He reversed the car and told goodbye to Denton before driving off. He stopped the Jeep in front of the building and got down. He walked up the stairs and stopped in front of his house. He took a deep breath before stretching his mouth a few times and clamping his face.

He didn't want to show his guilt and worries to everyone. After taking in a few more deep breaths, he knocked on the door. He could hear footsteps and the door opened. It was his daughter, Daisy. She hugged him and said, "You're finally back, dad. Right in time for lunch. Come in."

David put on a smile and walked in and could hear voices from the dining room. Daisy walked ahead of him and he asked, "What did you guys do the entire morning?"

"Oh, nothing. After you went, we played a few games of cards we found in the house. We would probably continue playing even after lunch. It was so much fun." She turned around and smiled.

Seeing her smile, he could see the rage and sadness on Gwen's face suddenly overlap. He paused and closed his eyes. Daisy also noticed and was about to ask what happened before he opened his eyes and smiled. But she could notice the change in his look. Something was different.

They reached the dining table and he could see all of them looking at him, waiting.

"Ah, you are finally here."

"We were waiting for you for so long."

"How did the work you went on go?"

"Come on and sit down. I'm hungry."

Everyone talked and greeted him. He smiled at everyone, gave them a reply, and sat down beside Daisy. During lunch, he felt a strange gaze on him and looked up to see Mark continuously looking at him. He looked like he was feeling suspicious of him, but he simply smiled back at him and Mark continued eating. He knew Mark caught onto something right there.
