Tammy and Andy furiously questioned why their father had lied to them about their mother and Don struggled to maintain face, simply telling them that whatever had occured was 'a good thing' and that everything would be alright. Don, shocked and worried over Tammy and Andy's discovery of the truth about their mother's fate, went to see his children in detainment. He was later informed that Tammy and Andy (who had left the Safe Zone) had been found and detained, as had his wife.

The following day, Don found Tammy and Andy missing. When Tammy and Andy questioned the fate of their mother, Don told them about the attack on the cottage, but lied that he had seen the Infected kill Alice, and that there was nothing he could have done. Twenty-eight weeks after the Original Outbreak, he greeted and reunited with his children Tammy and Andy for the first time in eight months (after the two children came to District One from Europe), and took them back to his penthouse apartment. Don then kept travelling downriver, until he eventually arrived at a military quarantine camp, where he remained until the repatriation of London began.Дon became the caretaker of the Green Zone in London, District One. He narrowly managed to escape via motorboat, while the Infected claimed Jacob, who fell from the boat. Panicked, Don fled the room, abandoning Alice and the boy.Д®scaping the cottage through the bathroom window, Don was chased by hordes of Infected across the fields to a dock. But Alice refused to leave until she found the boy, and the room was quickly overrun by the Infected. Don then fled upstairs to the bedroom, chased by several Infected, and tried to get Alice to leave the house with him. His fight was short lived, however, when he dropped the crowbar. Don proceeded to fight them off while the others (save Karen, who was bitten and infected, then killed by Don) tried to escape. Shortly thereafter, the cottage was attacked by a horde of Infected. Don reluctantly let him inside and the boy explained that his family, who were infected, were chasing him.

Their meal was interrupted when a young Boy from Sandford pounded at their door, begging for help. Don tried to comfort Alice, who missed their children, by reminding her that they were safe in Spain. One day during the outbreak, Don and Alice were preparing dinner for the group. During the outbreak, Don and Alice were taken in by an eldery couple ( Geoff and Sally) who barricaded themselves inside a cottage, where they remained with fellow survivors Karen and Jacob for an unknown period of time. He and his wife Alice sent their children, Tammy and Andy, on a school trip to Spain shortly before the Original Outbreak of the Rage Virus.
