After a long time watching that place, Harper finally arrived with his team and they all got out of the car they came in. I was sitting on the step of the back door of a truck when I stood up and looked at them. There are enough people to take all the vehicles to Two Crystals, so looks like my work here is over.

Then Harper and his team passed by the dead bodies of the zombies I killed while watching all those vehicles around. It seemed like they were seeing something new. And with good reason. I bet today is the day they've seen the most supplies in their entire lives.

Harper: - Well... Looks like we hit the bull's eye in trusting you. It's completely normal to make a mistake after getting it right many times because it proves that you're human. But you've been getting it right since you stepped into that shelter and you've never stopped. I'm starting to think you're a walking four-leaf clover, girl.

Hannah: - Making mistakes is far from being unusual for someone like me. I've seen enough in this life to say that luck and bad luck always go together. You guys better take advantage of this luck while my bad luck hasn't gotten here yet.

Harper: - I think I'm just impressed by the fact that you were the only one who was brave enough to do something to change our situation. Someone facing the Red Corporation bastards without fear and even succeeding is something you don't see every day. Today may be just another ordinary day for you, but this day went down in history for us.

Hannah: - I can handle some armed soldiers. They're dangerous, but they're not my biggest concern.

Harper: - Of course they're not. A strong girl like you? It should be a piece of cake.

Hannah: - That's not exactly why I consider myself strong.

Harper: - Why not? I only spoke the truth.

Hannah: - A strong person protects themselves. The strongest protects others.

Harper: - Hm... Makes sense. I forgot that I'm talking to a legend. I have to remember to write that down.

Hannah: - Your brain is enough. I'm sure you will never forget this quote.

Then I looked at the vehicles and quickly pointed at them.

Hannah: - Anyway, these are the vehicles. There are probably enough people here to take everything.

Harper: - I think I brought too many people. It's better to err on the side of having too many than not enough, right? Dylan is going to love seeing all these vehicles coming through that gate.

Hannah: - Yeah. If you're lucky, no hordes will appear along the way. Try not to go back down the same streets you came in to ensure this doesn't happen. These supplies are too valuable to be risked like this.

Harper: - We got this.

Hannah: - Well... Looks like everything is under control then. I have some things to do now, so I'll let you guys take it from here. If you need help, call someone from the shelter with your radios. I'll be a little busy.

Harper: - Suit yourself. I was going to tell you to come back alive, but we all know you will.

Hannah: - You bet. I have a lot to do today, so I don't have time to die. Death will only have me when it earns me.

Harper: - Spoken like a true legend. Take care, girl.

Hannah: - You too.

Then Harper and the people who came with him got into the vehicles and I went next to the sidewalk to give them space. As the vehicles passed one at a time in front of me, Harper briefly waved his hand out of the car and I waved back. Then the cars disappeared through the building blocking my sight and I turned around. Being alone once again, I turned the corner I was at and went straight ahead down another street.
