You were new to Jackson. You managed to make a few friends in the short amount of time you've been there, working to settle in and find ways to help in the community, leading you to become friends with Tommy as you got paired with him for patrol a couple weeks ago.
Maria had paired you two for patrol again. Everything was going good, and there seemed to be practically no infected. Everything was going well. At least, that was until the wind began to pick up, blowing snow around as it began to snow heavily, the harsh wind nipping at your skin as you and Tommy found your way to the nearest shelter to get out of the harsh storm. You tier up the horses while Tommy checked for infected.
There were no infected, leaving you and Tommy with nothing to do but wait out the storm, which would hopefully be clear by tomorrow morning.
