In Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, eleven survivors, including Chuck's daughter, along with a single psychopath, have survived the outbreak that has ravaged Still Creek. The survivors have been scattered throughout town and will not come back to the safe house unless their requests have been fulfilled, whether it means getting a drink, Zombrex or a weapon, or reuniting with a loved one or friend. Dick Jones is the only survivor who does not get escorted to the safe house, but rather to his store to continue his pawnshop business.
