Over night the group are divided up into small groups and kept separated. At around midnight a number of people hear Naomi being savagely beaten. Ian and Debbie try to stop it but are slapped around for their efforts. Debbie manages to break free from her room and see's that Naomi is being held by two men but is being beaten by a woman. Tommy manages to steal a packet of cigarettes. He gets three minutes in flavour country before being discovered and beaten. Other than this the night passes uneventfully.

At dawn the PCs are taken downstairs. Brewer explains his plan, that the group wil act as bait and clear half the town so he and his men can safely loot it. Anyone not going in to town is being kept at the house as hostages, if the PCs try to cross Brewer the hostages will be killed. Six bikers remain at the house, everyone else heads for town.

About a mile out of town the bikers stop. Brewers girlfriend, who Debbie recognises as the woman beating up Naomi, remains with the bikes with three other gang members. Everyone else continues towards town through the forest. On the outskirts of town Brewer and the rest of the gang stop, reminding the PCs of the punishment if they don't do as they're told. Brewer tells them the'll be free to go if they help him. Buford is sure he's lying.

The group continues into town. They loot some houses, in search of weapons but find little apart from kitchen knives and sports and garden equipment. On their way to the centre of town they see a military jet and helicopter, as well as a Humvee driving rapidly through town. Tommy finds a seemingly healthy baby. After they get split up the group meets up in Tom's Sporting Supplies. The shop has been fairly throughly looted but a woman just killed by zombies looks like she was preparing to leave town and the group scores her supplies. The group begins to ponder how it can achieve Brewer's demands.


The time is 11am, 28th of January.
