With the radio built and working, the information Camp Anderson gains shows suspicious activity at the Family's main base, a former shopping mall in Foggy Bottom. After finding and scouting another outpost in the West End, Heather, Grant, Maya, and Aidan infiltrate it and steal radio parts. Heather suggests they steal a radio from the Family to listen in on their plans and prevent any more surprise attacks. Fortunately, the Family is driven back, but Anderson knows they will not stop coming. Later, Camp Anderson is attacked by the Family, attempting to steal supplies. Heather fires a flare into the sky for Caleb Bernard, their getaway driver, to find them in his truck. Maya helps Aidan up, and the group escapes into the streets with the horde coming after them. Facing Maya again, he is shot at some more, but then Aidan shoots him in the back with a silenced shotgun. When Aidan attempts to kill him with his bat, he is simply knocked to the ground. With the water purifier retrieved, Maya shoots at the armored guard with her silenced submachine gun, but the guard blocks all shots with the shield. Heather tosses a smoke grenade at the guard, and Grant shoots the lock at the gates with his rifle, allowing the walkers to enter. When an armored guard with a riot shield and a revolver notices the dead bodies, spotlights are switched on and Maya is discovered. Maya quickly unhooks the installed purifier while Aidan keeps watch, getting his nailed baseball bat ready. Once inside, Aidan and Maya sneak up on two men and kill them with knives, and Heather quickly kills a third with her scoped crossbow. Maya, along with Aidan Hunt, a former architect, infiltrates the hideout on its south side, where they regroup with Heather and Grant. Heather then contacts Maya Evans, a former surgeon, via radio. Through his scope, he sees walkers at the gates, a lot of the Family inside, and the purifier, which has already been installed. Heather kills a walker with her pickax inside an apartment with a good vantage point, while Grant uses his silenced sniper rifle to scout the Family's hideout. In Central Georgetown, Heather goes on a reconnaissance mission with Grant Moore, a seasoned hunter, and they infiltrate an apartment building. Unwilling to accept defeat, Anderson orders Heather to lead a group to the Family's hideout and retrieve the purifier. While the camp is successfully defended and barricades are rebuilt, the group learns that the walkers were a distraction, allowing the Family to raid the storehouse, kill some of the group, and steal the water purifier. After threats are exchanged, the Family eventually leaves, but walkers appear and attack the camp not long after. Anderson gives them a counteroffer: they can leave the way they came. Eventually, they are met by another group called "The Family," who makes Camp Anderson an offer: they can take half of the camp's food and supplies. The camp survives by scavenging food and supplies from the city and avoiding any dangerous locals, walkers, and humans alike. Together, they form a bond and bring more survivors together, eventually setting up Camp Anderson in Georgetown. Instead, he is found by Heather Campbell, a former kindergarten teacher. Unable to cope, Anderson becomes suicidal, wanting the walkers to find him. In post-apocalypse Washington, D.C., Anderson Banks loses his wife and daughter.
