I've been thinking this through all day - is there a possibility that Thomas & Samantha meet at some point? Assuming you decide to go in that direction, it would make sense :3 I mean, they have a lot in common. Thomas' brother Gregg was bitten & Samantha's brother Jackie might have been bitten too. I don't know, I think they'd be great bad asses together - killing zombies as some what of a revenge for turning both of their brothers into monsters :D
As always, amazing update Hopefully Thomas & James don't get bitten by Gregg I can't wait for the next update!
