Soon after this, Frank left Bill on his own and disappeared. When one of the FEDRA trucks was overrun and crashed into Lincoln High School, Bill frequently brought up the idea of salvaging the truck's battery to Frank. Bill noticed that FEDRA began to send soldiers to search for supplies in the town every few weeks, and made note on what they overlooked. In the spring of 2033, Bill and his partner Frank were the only survivors living in Lincoln, a town that was populated by an unusually large number of infected. By summer 2033, Bill had racked up quite a few favors to Joel for unspecified reasons.
