We're letting you in now," you call down to the raiders.

Mindy and Emma remove the braces from the inner doors, and the raiders climb through the rubble and join the survivors in the center of the Sanctuary. You step back from the window and head to the edge of the catwalk. The survivors below appear in complete disarray, much like the Cathedral itself. Tom sits at a table drinking straight from a scotch bottle. Mindy appears catatonic against the pillar, watching the door and muttering to herself. Uncle Lou is sitting against the rail, clutching his side and breathing with great labor. Outside, the sounds of the groaning zombies grows louder and louder, like a train drawing closer. Within minutes they will be attacking. Someone must take action.
