Penelope walked in after Neibi, having followed her outside without being noticed.

"Calm down, everyone," she says, walking over to her cot, "It's nothing." Reaching her bed, she lays down, without sheets, and simply closes her eyes, falling asleep within minutes, fully clothed.

"Alright, everyone," Alexander says, "Get some rest. Tomorrow we head north through Ogden, then east. I want to be out of here as early as possible tomorrow." With that, Alexander heads to his own cot, and turns off the candle. The church is dark.

(Midnight)

Alexander is woken up by a shake of his shoulder. Groggigly looking around, he sees Joseph standing over him.

"Come with me," he whispers as he turns, "We need to talk." Alexander gets off the bed, shaking his head, and grabs his pistol, holstering it as he follows Joseph. Stepping outside the church into the walled off courtyard, full of dead or growing plants, ruined buildings, and a caved in oval-shaped thing in the center, Joseph led Alexander to just outside the walls, where they could talk. Joseph turns to Alexander, a sour look on his face.

"I know who you are," he says, as Alexander's eyes widen slightly, "And I know what is in that box you hide under the caravan. I believed I could trust you, but you shall only lead those inside the church astray."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Alexander says, his arms crossed, "All we're doing is crossing the-" Alexander stopped as Joseph held up his hand.

"No. The Lord knows that sinners such as yourself must be punished. I, however, shall not do this. You will leave tonight, and take your cargo with you. Leave the others to do what they wish." Joseph turns to walk back in, then stops, as Alexander puts a hand on his shoulder.

"Listen," Alexander says, grabbing a combat knife hidden in his pants, "No." In one swift motion, Alexander swipes the knife across Joseph's throat. Joseph falls to the dirt, gurgling, as his life leaves him slowly, before slumping to the ground. Alexander takes a handkerchief from his pocket and cleans the knife, sighing, before grabbing Joseph by the arms and moving him across the ruined street. Finding a dumpster, he quickly opened the lid, threw the body in there, and closed it without making a sound, before going back inside the walls. Seeing Joseph's dog sleeping, Alexander paused. Then, after another trip to the dumpster, he walked back inside.

(Music) (Morning)

"Rise and shine, everyone!" Alexander calls out at 6:30 am. The sun is slowly rising over the horizon, and the first rays of light are passing through the windows of the church. "We're heading north, so grab all of your things and let's make a move. Joseph had to leave early, sadly, but he said to take whatever we need. Let's move out!" The lot of you head out, following Alexander at the front, with Penelope at the back with he Brahmin and the cart.

After walking for a few hours, Alexander stops you.

"Look at that," he says, pointing at an array of buildings surrounded by a large fence and many ruins, "A Pre-War Airforce Base. What say we take a look?"
