Synopsis for "Door-to-Door Delivery"

Prisoner David Holder is being transported from Greensville Correctional Center to another facility without warning - and his guards are only too happy to see him go, if not dead.

Meanwhile, in Sutterville, Tennessee, the military is establishing a perimeter after the city was hit by a missile that infected its population with some kind of zombification agent. G.I. Zombie, though, is worried that they won't really be able to contain it, as he warns his superior Gravedigger that he needs to feed soon. Gravedigger promises that a snack is on the way.

Holder is escorted out of the helicopter, promised that he is about to serve his country, despite having murdered three women. Gravedigger greets him outside G.I. Zombie's tent, and shoves the criminal inside, thanking him for his sacrifice. Within moments, Jared has devoured him, and emerges to greet the agents who brought him. When Jared emerges - refreshed - he learns from Gravedigger that he has received word of a sighting on his partner Carmen. She was headed west.

Carmen is still undercover at the Rinaldi Spa in Utah as Tiffany Roberts, and she has just been shown a room full of missiles with payloads like that which hit Sutterville. Thanks to a bit of theatre with Jared, she convinced the terrorists of her trustworthiness, and that is paying off now, as she tries to wheedle the plan out of them. She learns that the spa above ground provides enough funding to maintain the underground facility, with an end goal to bring down the current government and make the United States a more livable anarchic society. Tiffany explains that whatever the methods, she is eager to get started.

Nearby, Jared arrives at the gas station where Carmen was last spotted, and is happy to see his friend Elliot is waiting to update him, though it's been twenty years since they last saw each other. After catching up and reminiscing a bit, Elliot explains that the satellite images showed Carmen's car heading to the Rinaldi Spa with another woman. Jared has been booked for a isolation therapy at the spa, to make secret contact with Carmen and get as much info as possible before she continues her assignment. He has been outfitted with a new identity - and part of the fun for Elliot is keeping who Jared is going to be from him.

Jared is to be a recently divorced videogame designer called Blake Ashman. He is interrupted from reading his file by a woman who bursts into his hotel room and takes shelter in his bathroom from a pair of thugs. Jared demands an explanation of them, but when he stands in their way, they shove him back and warn him to stay out of it or die. Angrily, he knocks both men out and steals their guns before returning to check on the girl. She introduces herself as Libby, explaining that she had only just been at a bar when those men came up to her and wouldn't leave her alone. As he rinses their blood from his hands, Jared is surprised to find that Libby took the gun from the desk and is now pointing it at him. She fires a bullet right through his head and checks to see if the thugs are still alive, shooting them dead as well. She then calls back to Forrest at the Spa and promises to bring the bodies with her after she does some cleanup.

She leaves for supplies allowing Jared just enough time to fake a more convincing bullet-wound and destroy his files, in the hopes of getting a free ride to the Spa. After cleaning up, Libby dumps the bodies in the back of her van, and Jared listens as they approach the Spa and waits for his moment to take action.
