Reprinted from The Walking Dead #5 A couple weeks after getting the guns, Rick and Shane start teaching everyone how to shoot. Everyone is impressed with Andrea's skill. Both Rick and Shane agree that she is possibly the best shot of the group. Rick also insists on teaching Carl, despite Lori's disapproval. After Rick announces to everyone that Carl will be carrying his own gun, with the warning that if anyone sees him taking his gun out of the holster when it's not needed, he'll take it from him. When everyone makes it back to camp, Donna shows her disgust of Andrea and Amy sleeping in the camper with Dale. A couple days later, Rick, Shane, and Dale go to get firewood and also talk about the girls living with Dale. Rick says how he sees nothing wrong with it and Dale says that nothing is going on, that the two simply keep things clean and give him some comfort since his wife passed away a couple months ago. After Rick mentions how cold it's getting, Shane yells at him, saying how tired he is of hearing Rick talk about moving the camp. Rick is shocked, Shane leaves with firewood, and Dale says to Rick that Shane has issues. That night, they talk about what they did before the outbreak: * Dale mentions he was a salesman, retired, and on the road with his wife. She died after the outbreak, and he found Amy and Andrea shortly afterward; * Amy says she was physical education student; * Andrea mentions she was a clerk at a law firm and was driving Amy back to college; * Glenn was a pizza delivery boy in Malcolm, Georgia, swimming in debts; * Allen says that he was a shoe salesman in Gainesville, supporting the rest of the family. Donna adds that they found Dale setting up camp on their way to Atlanta, and they joined them; * Jim simply says he was a mechanic. * Rick and Shane recount their stories as partners in the police department, * and Carol mentions that she used to sell Tupperware, her husband a car salesman. He killed himself after watching his parents die in front of him, and Carol decided to come to Atlanta and stay with her sister, but she never reached the city. After the group sits in silence, Amy goes to the RV to use the bathroom. Suddenly, a swarm of zombies appear, and one of them bites her in the neck. Startled, the rest of the camp stand up immediately and fight the undead. Jim launches into a rage and attacks a zombie while yelling at it saying that it killed his family. When all the zombies are dead, Andrea shoots Amy in the head in order to prevent her reanimation. As things calm down and the group catches their breath, they look at Jim, and see that he's been bitten in the arm.
