Lee hammered the last nail into the former window and sighed. He looked around the house realizing that the place was now being adjusted to be a tomb. Molly was right about being able to get supplies from the city but now the place seemed to be picked clean because her recent drop off was only water. Lee slipped the hammer into his belt loop and began to walk around the building. Just a week ago he ended up sealing the deal and had the group settle in the house for another week but to his dismay it was the wrong choice. Walkers leaving the city must have gotten a whiff of the house and it's inhabitants for they were constantly checking the house out and eventually causing a threat. Lee found Kenny standing in the kitchen taking inventory on their supplies to what Lee saw was pretty much nothing. Kenny seemed to let shaving go completely as he stood there with a ridicules looking beard with patches of skin showing.

"How bad is it Ken," Lee said standing to the left of his friend.

"Pretty good on water," Kenny pointed at the four fifteen gallon containers sitting in the walk-in pantry. "Ammo is something I am terrified to look at. Food we only have like a day or so left."

"That is not good then," Lee frowned at the sight.

"Lee see if Billy needs help in the garage," Kenny said getting back to work.

Lee nodded and begun walking to the garage. He saw Carson sitting in the living room with a scowl on his face and his model 70 in his lap. His eyes trailed Lee as he walked towards the garage. In the past week Ron and his daughter haven't done much but Carson has been trying to get rid of or kill Lee. after a day Lee was fixing a fortification and Carson locked Lee into the roof after slamming the door hard alerting Walkers from all around of him. Lee was Lucky the Molly and Kenny head the door slam and managed to dehinge the door before anything happened. Lee saw Carson's finger wrapping around the trigger as if he was going to pull it, but instead it just loosened out.

Lee opened the door to the garage and entered the dark room. Before they covered the windows and fortified the room it used to be so bright but now all you could see was the candle that Billy was working with. Billy slid a fresh box of 9mm ammo to the end of the table and got back to work with his work bench, "Lee I may be blind but I would appreciate it if you announced your presence."

"Sorry," Lee leaned on the SUV parked in the garage. "What are you doing?"

"Stocking the SUV with ammo just in case we needed to pull out in a flash," Billy pressed down on a lever and pulled it back up showing a perfect 9mm round. "I think we should leave real soon."

"Ben should be ready," Lee stated. "I heard him grunting and groaning when Molly went up to help him move around. If so I think we should-"

"Seats six comfortly Lee," Billy said without missing a beat.

"Scuse me," Lee stepped off the SUV. "What did you say?"

"The Tahoe will only seat six at best with all of this," Billy finished with the box and started making rounds for his Model 70. "You promised to take care of them earlier and now it is time to live up with that. I will stay and if need be Carson will stay with me."

"No," Lee walked over to Billy in disbelief. "We can still get all eight of us-"

"Lee," Billy stood up and put the boxes into a box keeping his bad eye to Lee. "You and I already had this discussion, I have cancer and not much time le-lef-left!"

Billy leaned on the table in a huge coughing fit. Lee took a step towards him to catch him but Billy dropped faster than Lee thought in a very heavy hacking. Lee crouched down and looked at Billy's face as it started to turn red before his eyes rolled into the back of his head. Lee started to become worried as he checked around for a pulse only finding a faint heart beat, "Somebody Carson is on the ground!"

Within seconds of saying that Lee's attention was turned to Mary, Ron, and Carson barge into the garage almost kicking Lee on their way in. Mary carried a re-breather and placed it on Billy's face and started to pump air into his lungs by squeezing the bag of air. Ron sighed knowing his son will pull through this time, "Third time this week. Billy I am sorry but have to make the decision now. Lee as you know my son has lung cancer and there isn't any help for people like him now so I need to talk to you alone about this. Meet me up in my room."

Lee watched Ron walk out of the room with a large shadow over his eyes. He looked down at Mary and Carson and began to open his mouth but Carson gave him a death glare and stood up. Lee felt a hand grab his shirt and pull him towards Carson, "You did this you bastard all because you wanted to stay for your friend, well fucker, it is time for you to pay and Kenny nor anyone else can save your ass."

Lee was so busy looking at Carson's face to realize that his other hand was balled into a fist and was coming right at his face. Lee was hit square in his nose splitting it and causing him to sprawl onto the SUV and then onto the ground. Mary shrieked in terror as Carson stepped on her hand and then started to walk towards Lee. Lee was still dazed from the hit and he started to pull himself away from the three other people in the room. His hand landed on a brick just when Carson grabbed his foot and drug him back to him. Lee grabbed the brick and twirled himself on the ground to face Carson and tossed the brick at the man aiming for his chest but didn't get amount power because he hit him in the crotch. Lee scrambled on the floor standing up and charged for the door. He opened it and closed it quickly getting Kenny's attention.

"Lee what is going on," Kenny asked putting down his clipboard and grabbing his G17 tucked behind his pants.

Lee looked at the door then to Kenny as he advanced towards Lee and he decided not to add any complications. He shrugged his shoulders, "Dunno I just don't like it in there."

"Afraid of the dark huh," Kenny snickered putting his pistol away. Lee felt a little relief that he bought the lie. "Hey I am going to do a spot check on fortifications around the house then check up on Ben later. You should do the same."

Lee nodded and began walking up the stairs to check on Ben before Ron. Lee got up the flight of stairs and he walked into the room that he woke up in eight days ago. He opened the door and smiled at the sight of Ben finally on his feet standing next to Molly, "How is He-man doing."

Molly looked over her shoulder and smiled at Lee, "He is able to stand but I got him some crutches to help him walk until he can do it on his own."

"I am fine Lee," Ben groaned as he had Molly take a step away. He was obviously in pain but he seemed to have a mission. Ben took one step forward with his good leg and then brought his bad leg up to his good one. Lee was smiling till he noticed Ben's lips were quivering as he was holding back the urge to cry out in pain. Molly must of saw it two as she began to try to help him but Ben forcibly denied the help. Ben took another step to Lee in pain and repeated the same process until he was within arm's reach of Lee. Lee saw that he was in a lot of pain but still he reached out both of his arms and grabbed Lee's shoulders. Lee felt himself get pulled towards Ben and was completely surprised and in shock with Ben's cries came as the young man put his weight on Lee's shoulders.

"Ben," Lee patted the young man's back and looked at Molly who was almost in tears from the pain that Ben must have endured trying to prove something to himself. "It's al-"

"They are alive Lee," Ben said in his sobs. "I saw Christa and Omid. They are alive and heading west like you said. We need to go after them Lee, they are alive and Clemintine may still be alive."

"Wha- when did you see this," Lee looked at Molly and she shrugged.

"Yesterday," Ben stopped crying and he leaned off of Lee. "I knew if I wasn't better we wouldn't move so I am better you just saw me walk so let's go get them."

Ben," Lee opened his mouth but Ben seemed to have a fire in his eyes.

"NO," Ben yelled out. "We will not stay here for one more day. We are going to go today or we will loose them you understand?"

"Alright I understand," Lee almost laughed at Ben's transformation. He looked at Ben in disbelief not knowing who that man standing who it was because it wasn't the Ben that he once knew. "We will leave today."

Ben nodded and he limped over to the bed. He sat down and huffed in pain. Molly put her hand behind Lee's back and they walking into the hallway, "Lee I need to talk to you about Savannah."

"Why is that," Lee was almost had a heart attack remembering the same talk he had with her in Savannah.

"I don't feel like I should leave," Molly looked down at the ground.

"No," Lee stood defiantly almost not even letter her speak again. "You are a vital member of the group and you should never do that again to us. You have proven yourself to be resourceful and you should always stay with us."

"Lee I-," Molly tried to explain herself but Lee grabbed her with his arm and brought her into a hug.

"Never will ever find a group that loves you for who you are and what you can do," Lee tightened his embrace and he let her go. "I am demanding that you stay."

Lee turned to walk away but Molly grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards her. She kissed him on his lips. Lee was at first surprised but he gently wrapped his arm around Molly's lower back. Lee heard Kenny clear his throat behind them, "You two should really get a room."

Lee and Molly both separated and coughed and cleared there throats. Lee cleared his throat and pointed down the hall way, "I am going to talk to Ron know."

"You go do that Lee," Kenny snickered crossing his arms. "I will make sure your lady doesn't do anything stupid."

Lee shook his head smiling at Molly and began walking over to Ron's room. He knocked on the door and waited a second before he walked in seeing Ron sitting on his bed looking out the window, "My son is a fighter but this world is just going to be the end of him."

"Ron he is going to-"

"For how long though Lee," Ron stood up holding his son's revolver. "He asked me to put him down before his suffering got too painful. He is dying Lee and I don't have the balls to do it."

Lee looked at the Revolver and then to Ron. He thought for a moment on doing the same thing that he did for Duck and Kenny. He walked over to Ron and put his hand on the gun, "Let me do it. A father shouldn't have to go through that."

"Lee," Ron looked at Lee with tears in his eyes. "I don-"

"DAD," Lee heard Mary scream from the garage. Lee took the gun and charged down the hallway passing both Kenny and Molly. He got to the garage and he heard the sounds of wood snapping and screams of Mary. Lee kicked the door open to see Mary dash past him. He looked back into the room and saw Billy beating the head in of a walker while three more were trying to get him from behind. Lee looked across the room and he saw Carson fire his pistol off at twenty or so walkers coming in from a window tat was broken. Lee looked at the two and he was in complete shock.

"Lee get Carson out," Billy managed to call out before coughing again.

"No Lee get Billy first," Carson dropped another walker before his foot was grabbed by a walker.

"Lee you made me a promise," Billy beat down another walker but his shoulder's were grabbed.

Lee looked between the two and he pointed the gun at Carson. Lee pulled the trigger at the walker about to take a bite out of him and watched it go limp. He heard screaming from Billy and he knew what just happened. Lee looked over to Billy and watched as he was brought to the ground with a walker tearing it's way out of his throat. Lee looked back to Carson and put down three more walkers while Carson ran over to Lee. He looked around for his brother and then he followed the trace of his screams to Billy. Carson tried to run to him but Kenny and Molly both grabbed hold of Carson and drug him back into the house.

"What the hell Lee," Carson struggled glaring at Lee. "I said get Billy out first but you killed him! I am going to kill you!"

"No you aren't," Ron said leaning on the wall chalky white. "Lee knew that Billy didn't have long so he saved my son who can have the chance to survive. What Lee has done is given you a chance."

"Yeah so stop trying to kill my brother," Kenny said tossing him aside. "Lee makes tough choices and this one cost him a friend so he didn't make this choice lightly."

"Whatever man," Carson cried on the floor. "My brother is dead you don't know how I feel."

"How you feel," Kenny snapped from what that man said. "I lost My WIFE and my SON! Don't tell me how I feel. If you ever say that you have lost more I will kick your ass until you realize that you still have a family."

Carson tried to say something but he closed his mouth and silently cried. Mary ran over to her dad and cried into his chest as the rest of the house was dead quiet except for the sound of muffled struggles died.

Lee looked at the pistol and walked over to Ron and handed it to him, "We need to leave today."

"I agree," Kenny said walking up to the three. "The sooner we leave the better."

"Then what is the plan the SUV is the only way out and there are walkers all over there," Ron asked taking the gun and pointing it at the ground.

"We divide and concur," Lee said looking around at everyone. "Molly your job will to load Ben into the back of the Tahoe. After you load him in there you will also climb int the back with him and close it. Ron you and Mary will head for the right side and climb in the back."

"What about the door," Kenny asked looking at the last three. "It is a suicide run for whoever to get it pretty much."

"I will-" Lee started but Carson quickly stood up.

"I will," Carson said walking over to the door. "My brother died near that so I will put him down."

Lee nodded and Kenny handed him the Keys, "You drive and I will cover the doctor."

Lee nodded and he saw Ben at the top of the steps with his crutches. Molly ran upstairs to get him and they all started to gather what was left of the supplies. Lee put his hand on the doorknob and Carson got ready with his Berretta pointing at it. Lee pulled the door open and Carson fired at the first Walker at the door. The two entered the garage and quickly made their way to their places. Lee opened the door just when Molly and Ben got to the back and he grabbed his Glock to cover them as they climbed in. Lee saw a small complication when Molly climbed in as she couldn't grab the door to close it so Lee ran over to it and pulled it down. He slammed the door but was grabbed by a walker on his foot. The former woman tried to bite Lee but He kicked it with his other foot and then shot it in the head. Lee started to make his way back to the car door when he heard Carson scream out in pain.

Lee looked over to him to see Billy's tearing a large chunk out of Carson's leg. Carson howled in pain and tried to pull his former brother off of him. Lee began to point his gun at Billy's head but heard Mary and Ron scream. Lee looked back over his shoulder to see Ron on the ground trying to push two walkers off of him and Mary climb into the Tahoe. Kenny was already wrestling one walking only having Lee free. He had to make the second hardest decision today, either save Ron and let the group have more complications or save Carson and Ron dies with his son but the group escapes. Lee only had one bullet so he had to make it count.

"I am sorry Ron," Lee said pointing his pistol at Billy. He pulled the trigger and watched as Billy fell to the ground and Carson reach for the chain. Carson pulled the door open allowing for more walkers to swamp in and climb all over Carson. Kenny climbed into the Tahoe and so did Lee as they heard the screams of Carson and Ron being ripped to shreds.

Lee started the engine and floored the pedal making the SUV lurch foreword and away from the house. Lee was in such a rush to leave he kept flying down the highway without even looking back. The five drove in complete silence except for Mary's silent crying. They drove and drove even passing a field. Lee looked over to Kenny and then Molly in the back with Ben. He looked back to the road not even noticing the three familiar faces walking away from the road heading Northwest instead of West. The Familiar faces of Christa, Omid, and Clemintine in the distance running away from the sound of a car.

Well Guys sorry for the long wait life kind of stopped my third Chapter from being released. I am so excited from all of the reviews you have sent me and all the Private Messages as well. Next chapter will be sometime late June and it will have a character that I really wished stayed with the group even longer.

Hints for the next chapter involve 400 Days characters, first Episode of Season 1 character. You can take a guess on the characters that will show but don't put it up in the reviews. If you really want to know just send me a PM and I will let you know but in my opinion it will be better if you just don't ask me and let it bring on the feels.
