"But... There's snipers out there. They'll shoot anything... zombies... people. If we go out there, they'll fire on us for sure!"

—Wayne, on Frank trying to rescue him

"Thanks. It's nice to not be used for target practice anymore."

—Wayne, upon reaching the Security Room

Wayne is hiding behind the counter in a cosmetics shop in the Entrance Plaza, under attack by three snipers. Frank West attempts to convince him to make a run for it, but he refuses to take the risk.

After the snipers are killed, Frank returns to Wayne and lets him know that he took care of things. He urges him to get going before other weirdos appear and replace the snipers, and Wayne agrees to follow Frank to the Security Room.

After being rescued, Wayne will wait in the room with the green door. When Kindell Johnson believes that there is no helicopter coming in three days, he rallies up the other survivors in the same room, including Wayne, to make a break for it.

If Frank does not stop Kindell's mutiny, Wayne will leave the Security Room along with the other survivors in the same room. They will no longer count towards the number of rescued survivors.
