You and your elder brother worked alone in the city for the most part, avoiding zombies, as well as members of the two largest groups, The Wolves and the Crows. But when your brother broke his arm badly, you knew you needed to go to Malik, the only surgeon in the city, and leader of The Crows. However, Malik's favour was hard won. Thankfully, you had an ace up your sleeve. You had heard Malik was fond of drinking, and had found a couple bottles of wine when scavenging in a shipwrecked cruise ship.

When you made your way to the Crows Stronghold, you were stripped of weapons, but allowed in. You sent your brother, who as of now had only a make-do splint on his arm, to find the med-wing, promising you would get Malik to treat him, whatever it took.
