Chapter 11 Summary: “Andrew”
As Andrew walks away from the cabin, he thinks of how he needed to leave Jamie because he felt as though he was “corrupting” him. Jamie “reminded” Andrew that “kindness existed in the world” (85). Thinking of this made him realize that he must go to Alexandria and see the Fosters, as it was the right thing to do. As it is already May 2, he knows he is running out of time.
Later in the day, Andrew struggles to continue. He is overwhelmed by pain from his leg injury. As he crosses a bridge, he hears a sound behind him and hides under a car.
Jamie approaches on his bike, carrying two bags. He scolds Andrew for leaving him, admitting that he didn’t feel safe in the cabin without him. They agree to travel south together to the safe zone. However, Andrew decides to continue keeping his desire to go to Alexandria a secret.
Jamie and Andrew travel for several days. They struggle with the heat and the lack of supplies, frequently stopping to rest or search for water. On the sixth day, they come to a small town called Mailey.
As they walk through the streets, they come across a decapitated body of an old man in the street.
