After the mood had taken a drastic turn, Jenner looks round at the group in front of him and he takes in the exhausted looks in their eyes and their filthy clothes and grime/blood covered skin, with most of the blood being on the younger men of the group, with the except of Rey, who was probably one with the most blood on her. With a heavy sigh he pushes himself away from the table and starts to make his way out of the door, which he had not long ago just walked through.

"You all must be tired, follow me and I'll show you where you can go and get some rest." Jenner says at the group starts to stand and follow him out of the kitchen, with Glenn being the leader of the group.

When Jenner hears the group following him he says over his shoulder, "Most of the facility is powered down including housing, to conserve power so you will have to do here. You don't have to worry the couches are comfortable but if you wanted there are cots in storage."

Carl and Sophia then over take Glenn and they are leading the group when Jenner suddenly stops in a door way and turns to face them while pointing over his shoulder with his thump, "There is a Rec room down the hall, which I think you kids in particular may enjoy, just make sure you don't use anything that runs on electricity. That means no video games, alright."

Carla and Sophia share a glance but then turn to look at Jenner, as he crouches down to their level and they nods their heads to him, as the group stop behind them with Glenn and T-Dog at the from and the two resident archer, coming up the back again.

Jenner then stands and says to the whole group, "Same goes to all of you, if your showering be careful with the hot water."

With that said Jenner quickly walks off, as Glenn and T-Dog turn back to look at the rest of the group with huge, drunken smiles on their faces.

"Hot water?"

"That's what the man said."

Rey snorts at the duo before she slowly starts to walk through the group, to find a room to put her stuff in, before going for a nice hot shower, which she think she whole-hearted deserved. As she walks past Rick she past his shoulder before she snorts again as she sees Glenn run of down the hall, with T-Dog not far behind. Rey sees out of the corner of her eye that Lori and Rick are enter the room closest to them and she knows what they were going to be doing so she starts to walk further own the hall, trying to stay close to her family but not close enough to her what her brother was going to be doing to his wife.

"Ain't ya sticking close to ya brother, Lady?" a gruff voice says to her as she was just about to enter the room on her right, two doors down form the one her brother went in.

She turns and sees Daryl leaning on the wall next to the door opposite the one she was entering, and as the door was open she could see that he had thrown his bag into the room and it had landed just shy of the couch in the room.

"No way, I know what my brother is gunna be doing and I don't want to hear it, heard enough of him an Lori, when I was crashing at theirs when I was on break from being on tour."

This gets a grimace and snort at the image it painted in Daryl's mind before he took a swig of the whiskey in his hand. Just as he lower the bottle it was quickly snatched out of his hand and his head snaps up to see Rey starting to take a big swig out of the bottle before she passes it back to him, with a smug smirk on her face, as she looks at the mock offended look on his face.

Rey snort as Daryl starts to smirk back at her, before she spins and starts to walk into her room and says over her shoulder, "I'd be quick if I were ya , between my brother an his wife and the others I doubt there's gunna be a lot of hot water soon."

Rey then turns once she has entered the room and smirks at the shocked look on Daryl's face, but she doesn't see the way his eyes start to quickly dilate, before she winks and shuts to door to her room. She throws her bag on the floor and then she starts to take her clothes off as she walks to the bathroom and she then takes a glance in the mirror and frowns at what she sees.

She sees the scar on her eye, her lip and the new scar on her side, but then she turns round and looks over her shoulder to look at her back and she sees the mass of scars which is her back. She winces when she looks at the scar, feeling the phantom pain coming from them. She shakes her head and turns and gets into the shower and moaning in pleasure as the nice hot water falls down upon her.

Daryl was stood outside for Rey's door just thinking of Rey in the shower and he was snapped out of his thoughts when he hears a loud female moan from within Rey's room and he suddenly spins and walks into his room to try and block Rey's moans and to make sure he wouldn't do anything he would come to regret.

Rey had spent a long time in the shower, just letting the water run down on her, just glad that she could get the blood and grime off of her. When she starts to feel the water getting colder she shuts the water off and steps out of the shower and grabs a white fluffy towel and wraps it round her, with it coming to her mid thigh. She walks out of the bathroom and into her room and she was just about to bend down and grab her bag when there was a knock at her door and it opens revealing a drunk Glenn stumbling in and passing out on the floor.

This causes a loud thump as he hits the ground, Rey just stands there with a shocked look on her face as she holds the towel to he body, which defines her figure, leaving little to the imagination. Daryl then quickly opens his door, thinking it was a walker stumbling down the hallway, but he pausing in shock when he sees Rey stood in nothing but a towel with water dripping down her visible skin.

Glenn makes a pained groan from the floor, snapping both hunters out of their shock as Daryl walks across the hall and into Rey's room and stands at Glenn's feet.

"What happened her Lady?" He asks the towel clad woman with the same weird feeling in his stomach, he had when Jenner was taking Rey's blood.

Rey looks up into Daryl's sky blue eyes and stutter, still in shock on Glenn passing out in her room and for that she was just in a towel in front of Daryl, "I... I dunno, I just got out of the shower and was bout to get dressed, when he knocked on the door, walked in and passed out."

Daryl finally takes his eyes away from Rey to look down at Glenn's passed out body before he sighs, bends down and grabs the half full wine bottle out of Glenn's hand and passes it to Rey, who shuffles on her feet slightly as she holds her towel in one hand. Daryl then puts his arms under Glenn and lifts him up so that Daryl was stood with Glenn leaning against him. Daryl then starts to walk backwards out of the room, dragging Glenn with him, to Glenn's room which was the room next to Rey's.

Rey then follows Daryl and stands in her door way as she watches Daryl practically throw Glenn on to the couch in the room. Daryl then stalks out of the room and comes to stand in front of Rey again as they both turn their heads away from the younger man. Daryl's eyes then start to wander down to look at Rey's towel clad form, before his eyes snap up to look into Rey's eyes as she starts to speak to him.

"Thanks."

Daryl clears his throat before he says, while starting to chew on his thump, "'s nothing."

Rey then looks down at her hand, to look at the wine bottle that Daryl had taken off Glenn, before she holds it up for Daryl to take. Daryl looks at the bottle before he looks back at Rey, with a confused look on his face.

"Think ya should finish Glenn's drink seeing as ya wanted to get him dunk," Rey teased, getting a lip twitch from the stoic man in front of her, as he takes the bottle from her.

Rey just winks and smirks at Daryl, before she walks back into her room and shuts the door behind her, leaving Daryl in the hall again, before he takes a swing of the wine and walks back into his room.

Once she was back into her room she walks over to her bag, that was at foot of the bed and she starts to rummage through it for some clean clothes. She finds a pair of her old combats and she puts them on with a white vest, before she rummages through the bag and and she finds her old dog tags she got from her squad, she then takes the dog tags her had got from Mike's body and clips hers onto them, silently vowing to take care of his baby and fiancée if she came across them and to collect all her squads members dog tags.. She sighs as she puts them on before she climbs onto the couches and closes her eyes to go to sleep, for the first time in two days.

It was a peaceful morning and Rey was slowly waking up to the sun shining in her eyes from in between some blinds when she feels an arm round her waist pulling her into a warm, strong body. She turns round and buries her head in-between a shoulder and neck and takes in a deep breathe savouring the woody, masculine smell, coming from the body beside her. She then runs a hand up and down the chest she was cuddling against, giggling sleepily as the muscle twitch away from her fingers, causing a muffled groan above her head as the person she was laying next to buried their head into her hair.

There was a knock at the door causing both Rey and the body next to her to groan in annoyance as Rey turns and slowly climbs out of the bed and walks to the door, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She hears the body in the bed turn restlessly in the bed under the covers. She was just about to grab the door handle when the banging got worse.

"Alright, alright, jees hold ya horses, I'm comin'," She says as she grabs hold of the door handle and opens the door, revealing the back of a man just a few inches tall than her, with blond hair and dressing in military uniform. She was just about to speak when the person turned round, revealing the face of her best Friend Mike as a walker, who groaned and snarled at her before grabbing her and leaning down to bite her.

Rey quickly wakes up with a small scream after the longest, but not most rest full night sleep she had had in weeks, longer then her first night at the Quarry and definitely more restful then her nights on tour in Afghanistan. She opens her eyes and quickly shuts the as the bright light in the room, blinds her for a few moments all the while panting heavily. She slowly opens her eyes again and she snaps up and nearly falls of the couch as she looks round the room looking for danger, when she remembers that she was in the CDC, with the of the group.

She pants heavily as she realises it was a dream/nightmare, before she falls back against the couch with her hands over her eyes, trying to keep her tears at bay, when there was a hesitant knock on the door. She wipes her eyes, trying to get rid of her tears before she stands and walks over to the door and slowly opens it.

When the door was open it reveals Daryl stood there with a concern in his eyes as her chews on his thumb again.

"Ya alright? I heard a scream"

Rey takes a shaking breathe as a tear escapes her scared eyes, causing the concern in Daryl's eyes to intensify as she rubs it away and says in a quiet voice, "Yeah I'm good,just had a nightmare bout Mike getting me."

Daryl just looks at the woman in front of him, not knowing how to comfort her, and he just nods his head toward the kitchen.

"Come on Lady, breakfast will 'elp."

As Rey sigh and takes small steps round Daryl, who was still stood in the door way. As she was passing him he gently nudged her arm, trying to comfort the woman, without it being awkward for the pair of them. Rey turns her head and nods to him, thanking him silently for looking out for her and comforting her as well.

They were both walking to the kitchen when they hear Carl ask Rick, "Are you hungover, mom said you'd be?"

Rey snorts when Rick says happily, "Mom is right."

Lori responds, "Mom has that annoying habit, Rey has it a bit too."

Rey then says as she walks over to Rick and kisses his forehead, "Morning and don't bring me into this Lori."

Carl just starts to laugh as Rey walks over and kisses Lori's cheek and his head.

Rick just looks at Lori as T-Dog walks over and passes a plate of food to Rey while saying, as Daryl grabs one of the side, "Eggs, powered but I do them good. Protein helps the hangover"

Glenn then groans and T-Dog walks over and put some on his plate and Jacqui pats his shoulders. This causes everyone to start laughing at Glenn's suffering and Rey and Daryl to share a quick glance, remembering what Glenn did the night before.

Rick then looks and says, while holding a bottle of pills, "Where did all this come from?"

Lori replies "Jenner, he thought we could use it. Some of us at least"

Rick then starts to struggle opening the pills causing Rey to laugh, and then for her to start to choke on a bit bacon she was eating, causing everyone to laugh, apart from Rick, who glared at his sister. Rick then passes the bottle to Lori asking for her her to open the bottle for him.

Glenn then groans out, " don't ever, ever let me drink again."

Rey then says as she stands from behind Rick, "Yeah don't worry, we wouldn't want ya walking into another persons room at night would we..."

This causes Glenn to quickly lift his head to look at Rey before he starts to says, "Oh my god. I'm so sorry bout that last night I...I...I thought it was a dream...Not that I dream bout you..."

Glenn was about to carry on stuttering when Rey starts to laugh, causing everyone else bar Daryl to laugh, while Daryl starts to glare at the back of Glenn's head, unnoticed by everyone in the room.

Rick then lifts his head and greets Shane as he walks into the kitchen looking more than a little rough. Rey sees that Shane gives Lori a weird look as he walks over to make his breakfast.

"Hey, You feeling as bad as I do?"

Rick shouts out causing himself and Glenn to wince in pain as the shout echoed in the overly large kitchen. Rey then starts to smirk as she sees her brother wince at his own shout, Rick then looks up to see his smug sister smirking at him and he just glares at her through a pained filled wince.

"Worse."

But before Shane could say any more he turns to walk to the table showing everyone four scratches on the side of his neck. Everyone shares a glance apart from Lori, wondering what had happen to the officer.

"The hell happened to you?" Both Rey and T-Dog say as Shane sits down.

Shane ignores Rey and T-Dog and is silent until T-Dog then says "Your neck, man."

Shane shuffles in his seat and then says "I must have done it in my sleep."

Rick then says, "Never seen ya do that before."

Rey then pips up, "Yeah I wouldn't have thought ya nails would have been long enough to do that."

Shane snaps his head round and viciously glares at Rey causing her eyes to widen as she was shocked at the glare thrown her way. Daryl then shuffles towards Rey, ready to protect her from Shane. Rey sees this and send a small smile to Daryl, thanking him for wanting to protect her.

Shane then says to Rick through gritted teeth before he looks up at the other end of the table towards Lori, "Me neither, not like me at all."

Once he did this Rey leans over a bit and whispers to Daryl, "Is it me or is he aiming that at Lori?"

Daryl huffs then leans to Rey replying, "Yeah, he was, could be to do with the fact that they were sleeping with each other, 'fore you got to camp."

"WHAT?!" Rey shouts causing Daryl to quickly lean away with his ears ringing, and the rest of the group to look at the two archers.

Both of the archers blush at the attention and Rey then quickly says nervously, "Hehe, sorry just that er... Daryl said he reckons he's a better shot than me."

This causes the whole group to snort at the with the rest of the Grimes' family being the loudest, known how good of a shot Rey was. The all then look away to carry on with there breakfasts.

When the attention was off of the archers Rey snaps her head towards Daryl and whispers, "What? How do ya know they were sleeping together?"

Daryl just looks at the woman beside him and whispers, , while biting his thumb"Was out huntin' and was heading back to camp when I caught then, but they didn't know I was there. I heard them first, they were loud enough to draw walkers. Carried on to camp when I saw them."

Rey was just about to get up when Daryl nodded his head to the door and Jenner walked into the kitchen, saying morning to the group.

"Hey Doc."

"Morning."

Rey then sees Andrea nod to Dale, who then says "Doctor, I don't mean to slam you with questions this early in the morning."

Rey then mutters under he breathe, causing Daryl to quietly snort, "But ya will anyway."

Jenner then says while making his coffee, "But you are anyway"

This causes Rey to get a disgusted look on her face for saying the same thing as Jenner. Daryl then looks at Jenner and Rey and smirks at the face she was pulling.

Andrea then turns round and says "We didn't come here for the eggs, we came and want answers."

Jenner just sighs and turns round to the group and then he starts to walk out of the kitchen and he then raises a hand and gestures for the group to follow him. The group then all look to each other and when the 'leaders' of the group stood from the table, with Rick being the first out of the door, the rest of the group follows.

The group all walk into the main room and Jenner walks to the main computer in the centre of the room. He places his cup of coffee on the desk next to the computer and he turns to check if all of the group was in the room.

When he sees the group is all stood around him, he says out loud, "VI, gimme playback of TS-19."

"Playback of TS-19" VI's mechanical voice rings out.

On the large screen at the end of the room a huge screen starts to load up, showing multiple boxes some with images of brains and other that just had text in them, with a loading bar on the right of the screen.

As the bar started to load and more and more images loaded on the screen, Jenner turned round and faced the whole group, who had situated themselves in different places around the room.

" Few people have had the privilege of what your about to see... Few people got a chance to see this information," Jenner says to the group, repeating himself for the two children in the group, while secretly aiming it at the more uneducated of the group.

Rey and Daryl both realised what Jenner was aiming at and they both took a threatening step forward, both with a nasty glare on their faces, with Rey leaning in and whispering so only Jenner could hear her.

"I'd watch my mouth if I were ya, Doc. Ya don't want to know what happens if a carry on."

Jenner looks at the irritated woman next to him and he sees that she is serious and he takes a step away from her, with a cautious look on him face, causing both archers to smirk in satisfaction.

The screen has finally loaded when the group move closer to try and read the words on the screen.

Carl then says out loud, when he sees the pictures which had loaded up, "Is that a brain?"

Jenner looks at the boy and says while leaning towards him a bit, "An extraordinary one."

When both female Grimes' see the Doctor lean towards the baby of the family they move in sync, with Lori walking next to Carl and drawing him into her side, while Rey walks in front of them, blocking Jenner's view of the youngest Grimes', causing the Doctor to stand to his full height and turn back to the screen.

Jenner then says, while the rest of the group look at the dangerous woman standing in front of her family, wary of what had causing the female archer to act like a snake ready to strike.

"Not that it matters in the end. VI takes us in EIV."

VI's voice rings out as the screen zooms into the picture of the brain, "Enhanced internal view."

Everyone is entranced with the video of the brain as it shows hundreds of different flashing lights all with in the brain. The videos then zooms in again and it shows thousands of lights again, bouncing and racing about think tubes.

Shane then speaks up from his seat behind Jenner, " What are those lights?"

"It's a persons life, experiences, memories, everything that makes us who we are, everything that makes us human. Somewhere in all that... Organic wiring, all those ripples of light is you, things thing or things that make you Eunice."

Daryl then crosses his arms and says out loud, " You don't make sense, ever. Just tell us what your mean rather than all the riddles."

Jenner just looks at Daryl and then says, while pointing at the screen, "Those lights are synapses, electric impulses in the brain that carries messages to, from and around the body. Those lights, they determine everything a person says, everything a person does from the moment of birth, to the moment of death."

Rick then steps towards Jenner while saying, "Death, is this what this is a vigil?"

Jenner doesn't turn to face the Sheriff he just replies, "Yes, or rather the playback of the Vigil."

Andrea then slow steps forward and says in a broken voice, "This person died? Who?"

Rey sees Jenner freeze before he says, "Test Subject 19. Someone who was bitten and infected and volunteered for us to have the process monitored."

A silence falls the group as they all turn to look at the Doctor, before he shouts out, "VI fast forward to the first event."

"Scanning forward to the 1st event." VI says to the video starts to skip forward at an alarming rate, as the group sees the videos scanning forward the all see a darkness creep ion the lights, until a large portion of the brain was dark, this was when the video stop scanning forward.

Glenn says aloud, having partly recovered from the hangover, "What is that?"

Jenner then says, "It invades the brain like meningitis, the brain haemorrhages, and organs start to fails and then final the brain shuts down and then death. Everything your were or ever will be, gone."

Sophia then looks up at her mother and says, breaking the silence which again fell on the room, "Is that what happened to Jim?"

Carol just replies, "Yes, that's what happened to Jim sweetie."

Andrea then start to cry and Jenner looks at her concerned until Lori says, "She lost some 2 days ago, her sister.

"I lost somebody too, I know how devastating it is." Jenner says as he walks up to Andrea.

Jenner then walks away from the blond and shouts out, "Scan to the second event."

The video then skips again and Jenner says, "The... resurrection times vary from person to person, we have reports of it happening in as little as three minutes, the longest was eight hours, but for TS-19 it took two hours, one minute and seven seconds."

The video then stops scanning forward and everyone sees red lights starting to flash in the brain, slowly getting quicker and quicker, but till know where near as fast at the bright lights from before.

Lori then says, "It restarts the brain?"

Jenner then says, "No just the brain stem, basically it gets them up and moving."

Rick then says, causing Rey to roll her eyes at her brother, "But their not alive?"

Jenner then says "You tell me?"

Rick looks at the man next to him before he turns to the screen and says, "Its not like before, most of the brain is dark."

Rey then says before Jenner could, "Dark, lifeless, Dead."

Jenner then says "She's right the parts that make us human, that doesn't come back the you doesn't come back. It's just a shell driving by instincts."

A flashes then appears on screen, and it rips through the brain, Carol the says, "God, what was that?"

Andrea then says, "Bullet, he shot the patient in the head"

Rey then says, "Yeah that was a .45 cal and point black range."

Jenner does response to the group, he just says "VI power down the screen and stations."

"Powering down main screen and work stations," VI voiced echoed.

Rey just shakes her head at the Doctor dodging the questions being thrown at him. She then turns to walk out of the door, sick of having to listen to the Doctor answer question with other questions. Just as she was about to exit the room she hears Andrea walk up to Jenner and accuse him of knowing nothing.

Jenner sighs before he turns to the blonde and says, " It could be microbial, viral, fungal, parricidal."

Jacqui then speaks, "Or the wrath of God."

Jenner sighs and says "That too."

"Somebody must know something, about what has gone on, someone, somewhere. There are other right, other facilitates right?" Andrea says.

Jenner then says " There may be other out there, other like me."

The siblings then says at the same time, "Ya mean ya don't know!"

Both siblings look to each other before Rey carries on, while stalking up to Jenner, "How can ya not know? There are military orders and plans for situations like this. So why do you not know if any more facilities are up and running."

"Everything went down, communications, directives all of it. I've been on my own in the dark for almost a month."

Andrea then says, "So your saying there is nothing left, at all, anywhere. That's what your saying right?"

Jenner just looks away from everyone and is silent as they all slowly start to realise that there was no help for them.

"Jesus," was muttered by Jacqui, Andrea, Carol and Lori.

Daryl then starts to walk away form the group, while rubbing his face saying, before he leans on a powered down work station,"Man, I'm a gettin' shitface drunk again."

Dale then steps forward and says, "Doctor Jenner, I know this has been taxing for you and I hate to ask you this now, but what's with that clock, it's counting down. So what happens at zero?"

Jenner stutters, "The basement generators run out of fuel."

When Rey hears this she slowly turns to face Jenner as he starts to walk towards her. Her mind is going a mile a minute as she is trying to remember something important.

Rick then shouts, "Then what happens?"

But when he gets no reply he shouts, "VI what happens when the generator runs out?"

VI voices rings out as Jenner is getting closer to Rey, how was still stood in the door way, " When the power runs out, facility wide decontamination will occur."

Jenner was just passing Rey when she suddenly remembers and she lashes out, slamming the Doctor into the wall of the room screaming out, "Ya son a bitch!"

This cause the me of the group to run over and grab her and pull her off of the Doctor, while she is still kicking and screaming.

Rey then gets free and snarls out to the Doctor, "Ya best pray I'm wrong causes if not..."

She leaves the treat hanging as she runs out of the room and down the hallway, Rick, T-Dog, Shane and Glenn following her, a she runs to the basement to see if see was right or not.
