Acquisition

 * Talk to Ed, and accept the quest.

Description

Walkthrough
After accepting the quest, go to Number 12. Go upstairs and talk to Ray. He will say that Ed never returned them. Go back to Ed. He will give you his garage key. Go to his garage at Number 14, and unlock the door on the right. At the end box, you will obtain the bolt cutters. Then go back to Ed.

Reward

 * 50 + 50 + 300 XP
 * Access to Brookvale

Trivia

 * Ed travels with an unnamed survivor. Since the survivor cannot be spoken to, it is assumed that Ed stumbled upon the survivor like the player did with Kelly or Hank, or he could be a family member or friend. The survivor wields a PPM 9 and is invincible, and will fire at zombies if they get too close.
 * Ed and Ray are probably not on speaking terms, possibly due to Ed not returning the bolt cutters. Ray shows anger and gets annoyed when the player mentions Ed. However, unlike Ray, Ed is willing to put that aside to ask for help.
 * Interestingly, Ed does not mention anything about his plans after cutting through the fence at Pinedale. No matter how much you ask him after breaking the fence, Ed will only say that the fence is open.
 * Ed and the survivor will always remain by the fence no matter what.
