Leon tearfully put them out of their misery, but not before thanking them, for 'saving him'.
Over the weeks, the trio survived by hiding out in a small general supplies store, with the elderly owners: Thomas and Margaret Henesy. After much consideration, Leon decided to go across the street, to look for food, with Patrick, and Thomas, but doing so they alerted the presence of a couple of Lurkers, who attacked them, and bit, Thomas. Leon took no hesitation in killing Thomas, as he was infected. This was witnessed by Margaret who screams in horror, this alerts more walkers to their destination, unable to stop her cries, Leon, attempts to kill her, but is stopped by Patrick. The three quickly grab their supplies, and attempt to leave the location, but are unable to do so, as the Walkers overwhelm the location, Patrick leads Leon, and Trish, to the second floor, where they jump out of the window, Trish has a rough landing, and injures her leg, and is ultimately bitten. Leon quickly takes out the walker, and helps her to Patrick's cruiser. The three then proceed to leave.
Leon sits quietly in the back avoiding eye contact, with, Trish, and Patrick, until he breaks the silence: "Trish has been bitten." in denial Patrick continues to drive. He states it again, until Trish tells him to shut up. They then stop, at a small gas station, Leon angrily rushes out of the cruiser, and into the store, where he looks for supplies, to address the wound. He is unable to find any, and pushes one of the shelves over, and screams in frustration, a lurker then suddenly awakens near him, and he stomps on its head repeatedly. The group, proceed to stay a few days, at the gas station, with Trish, as they wait for her to die, and re-animate. Whilst sleeping he is suddenly awoken by a loud noise, he hastily looks to his side, to see a bullet hole through, Trish's skull, and Patrick aiming his own pistol, at his temple, Leon quickly shoves the gun away, claiming that he can't do this on his own. Patrick tearfully picks up Trish's body, and gives her a proper burial.
On his way back to the cruiser Leon contemplates on whether or not it is worth living, until he hears Patrick's radio spark, with life. It is Rick Grimes's voice on the radio. He quickly informs, Patrick, who slowly shambles over, and is surprised to hear Rick's voice. The two then, head off, to find him.
