Somewhere in Crawford…

"What did we told you about leaving?" a man asked two teenagers. "Urgh come on, give us a break. We don't want to sit in here all day. We just needed some fresh air." A male teenager who was completely dressed in black clothes answered annoyed. "You could have just gone to the center to get some fresh air instead of leaving the district." The man answered. "We just wanted to be alone for a while. The center is way too full and crowded to chill out." a girl in a red-white jacket scoffed. "Let me tell you something: You will stay permanently in HQ for the time being and you will not leave it without permission. If you do, you'll face big consequences." the man announced with a slightly threatening tone. Both teenagers sighed annoyed but made no objections.

"You can go make yourself useful and go to the briefing room. There will be a conference soon." The man said. "A conference? About what?" the male teen asked. "We are going to raid the Hunter Army Airfield. Our scouts said there aren't nearly any soldiers stationed." The man answered. "Finally something were I can use my sniper skills." The boy whispered jokingly to the girl. She giggled in response.

After a while the two teenagers went to the conference they were ordered to go to. "Okay everyone, listen up." The operation leader spoke. "As you already know, we are going to raid the Hunter Airbase, because we are in lack of military supplies such as weapons, ammo and maybe also some medical equipment. We will engage in squads. At first two scout groups will advance into the facility and clear the area. There shouldn't be too much going on there, when the reports of our scouts are correct. After the storage area is clear, the looters will enter the airfield and grab everything they can. The scouts will secure the area, so that the looters are not getting disturbed while scavenging. As soon as their bags are full, we leave this place. he explained. "Any questions?" he added. Nobody lifted their hands. "Well then get ready. We will engage tomorrow." He said.

"You will also be involved in the supply run." The man said to the two teens. "What are our tasks?" the girl asked. "You will stay in the forest and give our people cover." He replied. "Cool, a sniper mission. I waited so long for this." The boy said excited. "Well then, don't fuck this up." The man said a bit rude. The male teen gave the man an annoyed glare in response. "Get some rest now. Tomorrow is your big day." The man said teasingly as he left the room.

Lee's P.O.V.

Kenny and I were planning a new supply run. "I think we should scavenge the houses in the south of the city." Kenny said. "You're right, maybe we have more luck there." I agreed. "We should let the others know." Kenny replied and went to the living room, where the others were. "We decided to go on a new supply run tomorrow. We're heading further into the south of the city. We hope to find more there and don't have to worry about Crawford." Kenny announced. "I know that there is a big shopping mall in the south of the city, we should definitely check it out." Mark said. Kenny agreed.

"Can I come with you? This may be a good opportunity to look for my parents." Clem suddenly asked me. "I don't know if it's safe there. Crawford may be there too." I replied. "To be honest, the more people go there, the better. We can lift more loot back here." Kenny said. "I'll think about it." I said to Clem with a smile. She nodded smiling.

Narrator's P.O.V.

The group decided to get some rest. Lee agreed Clementine to go with them but told her to stay close to him the whole time.

On the next morning Lee, Clementine, Kenny, Chuck, Omid and Mark prepared everything for the supply run. Carley, Ben, Katjaa, Christa and Duck stayed at the mansion. "Stay together people." Mark said as they advanced further into the south of the city. They followed the Whitaker Street and arrived at the Forsyth Park. "We probably need one or two hours to the mall." Mark announced. "How do you know?" Kenny asked. "I was stationed here a few years ago. There's a military airfield to the southwest from here. I had enough time to learn many things about the city." Mark replied. "That's a great help, to be honest." Lee said. Kenny nodded in response.

"I wonder if Crawford ever went so far." Kenny said as they advanced further into the south of Savannah. They already crossed the East Victory Driveway and were now in the District of Bingville. "I can't tell, but they may have sent out a few scouts down south." Chuck replied.

"There it is guys, the Oglethorpe Mall." Mark said after a while of walking, pointing at a big building in front of them. "Well then, let's spread out and search for supplies." Kenny replied and walked towards the building. The others followed him and entered the mall shorty after. "Look at all these stores. I bet there is so much stuff that's not been looted already." Kenny pointed out amazed. "Let's start scavenging but stay on alert." Mark said.

The group then started scavenging the stores. Mark stayed in the hallway and guarded the others while they were scavenging. "Oh yes, English peppermint!" Clementine cheered as she found a bag of white candy. "It's been so long since I ate one of these." She added happily. "Looks like it's your favorite candy." Lee said amused. "I love peppermint." She replied smiling. "Do you want keep searching here? I'll go and check out the other stores." Lee asked. "Yeah sure. I'll call you when I need your help." Clementine answered smiling.

"I just found a movie that Duck always wanted to have." Kenny said as Lee entered a store he was scavenging. "It remembers me of the time before this crap happened." He added with a sad expression on his face. Kenny and Lee's conversation was interrupted by sudden gunshots. "What the hell?" Kenny hissed. "Have you heard these gunshots?" Mark asked, who came running towards them. "Yeah, do you know where they're coming from?" Lee asked. "I don't know, but I guess they are coming from the Air Base." Mark replied.

Everyone jumped as they suddenly hear a very loud gunshot. "Holy shit, that was loud!" Kenny yelled. "That was definitely a sniper rifle." Mark said. "He must be very close; the gunshot was really loud." Chuck noted. "Clementine, come here please." Lee called. Soon Clementine ran into the store and asked Lee about the gunshots. "I heard steps form up there." She reported. "From the roof?" Lee asked. "Well, there is no second floor. Are you really sur-" Mark was interrupted by another gunshot. "I'm sure they are on the roof." Kenny stated. "Yes, they really are guys, there's a hatch that leads to the roof and it's open." Mark reported. They carefully got closer to the hatch. "They opened it by force." Lee said. "Who do you think is up there?" Clementine asked a bit scared. "I don't know Clem." Lee replied.

They heard another gunshot, now much louder as before. "That was the proof. There is definitely someone up there." Kenny said. "Nice shot man. I think that was our last target." A female voice said with amazement. "Guys, how's it going down there?" she asked, probably speaking over radio. "The area is clear, we can go there now." She said after a while. "Aww come on. I had so much fun." Another person jokingly answered. "I know Dom but think about the loot. Maybe you get a nice new gun." The girl said. "I'm completely fine with this one." He answered.

"Guys, we should hide. They are coming to the hatch." Mark whispered. They quickly hid in a store and waited patiently. Not even a minute after the group went into hiding, two people jumped through the hatch into the mall. "Hey, it's those Crawford teenagers." Kenny said as he spotted the two. "Look, that guy with the black clothes. He's carrying a sniper rifle. That's the proof we needed, these guys were shooting. But what did they shoot?" Mark asked. "Let's ask them." Clem answered. "No Clem! We need to stay quiet." Lee said.

"Sniper team here, we're leaving the mall now." The girl spoke into a radio. "Roger that, keep your eyes open." A voice said, coming out of the radio. "Of course, we keep our eyes open." The boy laughed. "Always thinking we're idiots." The girl replied also laughing. They went down the hallway straight to the exit. "They're gone." Chuck said and came out of hiding. "What the hell is Crawford doing here?" Kenny asked. "I have a bad feeling about this. I think they are raiding the Hunter Air Base." Mark replied.

Again, the group heard gunshots. This time it sounded like a heavy machine gun. "Let's get out of here." Kenny said and left the store, with the group following him. They immediately went in the direction of the air base to check out, what is going on there. As they came closer to the airfield, the gunshots got louder and louder. "That's a big airfield." Clem said as soon as the Hunter Military Airbase was in sight. "Look, there are people running. That must be Crawford." Mark shouted, pointing to the airfield. "Wait a minute, what the fuck. Is that a fucking tank?" Kenny asked, not believing what he saw. He was right, a tank was hunting the Crawford scavengers.

The Crawford members ran out of the compound and fled towards the city. The teenagers just arrived at the street, that leaded to the airfield. They were completely surprised and shocked, when they spotted the tank. They immediately turned around and ran towards the group. Walkers started to spread out from the town, attracted by the gunshots.

A walker grabbed the boy by the leg and made him fall to the ground. The girl immediately turned around and tried to help him up, but the walker kept pulling on his leg, which made it very difficult. After trying to kick the walker away with his other leg failed, the boy shot it with a pistol. More walkers came closer to the teenagers and surrounded them. "We need to help them." Clementine said to Lee as she saw that the teenagers were in danger. "Yes, you're right Clem." Kenny replied, grabbing his gun and taking aim at the walkers. "Fuck, no bullets." Kenny swore as he pulled the trigger, but the gun didn't shoot.

"Run Molly! It's too many if them." the boy shouted. "I'm not leaving you behind, I don't care what happens." Molly replied. Then she grabbed an ice pick from her backpack and started killing the walkers around them. "I always forget how good you are at killing these." The boy said laughing as she managed to kill all walkers around them. "You shouldn't forget." She replied and helped him up. "Let's go." She said and they were about to go back to Crawford, but a herd came up and blocked their way.

"We should get back to the mall." Mark said. Kenny and Lee replied. The group started heading back to the mall, repeatedly stumbling across some walkers. They soon arrived at the mall and entered it. Kenny was the last one who entered it and just as he was about to close the door behind him, someone yelled: "Leave that door open, if you wouldn't mind.". As Kenny turned around to see who was taking to him, he saw the two teenagers of Crawford running towards the town, followed by walkers. "Move it!" Kenny yelled and held the door open. The teenagers where fast and quickly entered the mall. Kenny closed the door behind them, fortifying it with an iron or steel bar he found earlier.

"Thanks for the help, I guess." The boy said, breathing quite heavily. He wore a scarf like a bandana, covering his mouth and nose. "Who are you?" the girl asked. "We are just survivors, focused on surviving here." Mark replied. "You're definitely aren't from Crawford." The boy said, making the girl punch his arm. "No, we aren't. But we know you are." Lee replied, trying not to sound threatening. "We aren't going to hurt you or something, we're just thankful you helped us." The boy said. "And what was that for?" he then asked the girl, pointing at his arm that she had punched. He raised the pitch of his voice a little, making Clementine laugh. "Stop crying chicken." The girl replied also laughing. "You just met her a minute ago and already teaming up with her. I don't believe it." The boy said to Clementine also laughing. She replied with a shy smile and grabbed Lee's hand.

The laughing was interrupted by walkers punching against the door. "That metal bar is gonna keep them out." Kenny said. "That's not the only exit." The boy replied. "I hope no Geeks are on the other exits." The girl said. "Geeks?" Lee asked confused. "That's how I call those things." She replied. "Everyone has an own word for them." The boy said and walked around the hallway to check the other exits. "It looks clear. I think we can chill out here a bit." He said as he came back. "So, who are you by the way?" Kenny asked carefully. The boy looked to the girl and introduced them as she nodded. "Well, I'm Dom and this is Molly. As you already said we are from Crawford but we aren't so heartless than the rest of the group." He said. "I can see that, otherwise you would have already killed us." Omid joked to lighten up the mood. "Yes they would. They would just kill you or take all of your stuff. They wouldn't even give a shit that you have a kid with you." Molly agreed looking at Clementine who had a sacred expression on her face. "Don't worry. If they try to hurt or kill you, I'll cut their fingers off." Molly promised to her and smiled.

"It's getting quieter outside. I think it's safe to leave this mall." Mark said. "I'm taking a look outside." Dom said stepping closer to the door Kenny barricaded with the metal bar. He removed it and opened the door a bit. "Looks clear for me." He said. Suddenly the door was dragged widely open and a walker limped towards Dom. The teenager slipped as he tried to run away from the walker and fell on his back. He tried to crawl away but he bumped against a wall. He was stuck now and the walker came dangerously close. "Yo Guys, I'm gonna be dinner soon." Dom yelled. The walker threw itself onto Dom and tried to bite him. The teenager got weaker every second he fought against the walker and he felt his arms getting tired.

A gunshot ended the fight between Dom and the walker. Dom pushed the dead body of the walker away. As he looked to his left he saw Clementine with a gun in her hands. "Wow, did you just shot that dude?" Dom asked amazed. Clementine nodded. "Holy shit you saved my life. I owe you something. I dunno what exactly, but I definitely owe you something." He said still amazed by the kid's shooting skills. "Are you okay?" Molly asked worried as she rushed to Dom and Clementine. "Yeah I'm fine. Thanks to my savior here." Dom answered chuckling and petted Clementine's head. "Thank God, you're okay. Both of you." Lee said. "It's safe to leave this shit hole now, I guess." Kenny said. "Yes, let's get the hell out of here." Mark agreed.

The group left the mall and went back north. "Hey guys I think we should split up here." Molly said as they arrived at the Forsyth Park. "Why, I thought you would come with us." Clementine said sounding disappointed. "Hey, I'm very sorry but if Crackford idiots sport us with you having a nice little tea party over here, they probably gonna chop our heads off." Dom said. "Crackford?" Molly asked amused. "Yes, Crackford." Dom replied. "Well then I wish you two good luck out there." Kenny said. Dom nodded in response. "Maybe we stumble across each other again." He said and the teenagers left and made their way back to Crawford.
