Walkers pound on the shed that Stella and Nick are hiding in. They try to hold the doors closed. Walkers knock Nick away from the door and they both push the doors closed again.

Nick walks away.

Stella: Nick?! Are you trying to get us killed?!

Stella struggles to hold the doors closed as a walker tries to get in. Nick pushes a crate against the doors and then sits in a chair.

Stella: (She stands there a bit embarrassed) oh.

Stella: You know, I'm sure Pete's ok.

Nick: Whatever...

A few seconds of silence passes.

Nick: Why'd you leave my uncle with her? Back at the stream. Why'd you follow me?

Stella: I trust her. Plus knowing you, you'd find yourself in trouble. That or you'd get yourself killed. Plus I trust you enough.

Nick: You shouldn't.

Stella: Why not? Gonna kick me out into that horde?

Nick: No, but, you'll probably get hurt staying with me.

Stella: Oh well. What do we do now?

Nick: I don't care.

Stella: We can't just sit here and wait this out. We should at least look for something that can help us escape.

Nick: Knock yourself out.

Stella rolls her eyes and looks around at the shed. There wasn't much, just some old rotten crates and a barrel.

Nick: It's a still.

Stella: A what? (She creases her eyebrows at him)

Nick: It's for makin' booze. But that rig ain't fit to piss in.

Stella looks around some more and finds some rotten food that makes her stomach twist. Walkers pound on the door.

Stella shakes her head. She's just beginning to realize just how hungry she was getting. She moves a piece of plywood and discovers the shelf is filled with jars of alcohol.

Nick: What is that stuff? Let me see.

Stella hands him a jar. Nick sniffs it, then takes a sip.

Nick: Whiskey.

Stella: Whiskey? My dad used to drink that. What now?

Nick: We wait I guess. Nothing else to do.

Stella sighs and sits down. She eventually gets tired and falls asleep with her head on her knees. She wakes up at nightfall due to some noise. Nick is sitting near the shelf, throwing jars against the wall. Stella sighs and walks up to him.
