Chapter 3 from episode 3

"Lee and Lilly sitting in a tree, k.i.s.s.i.n.g." that song came from the voice of Duck who I have a feeling was ease dropping in me and Lilly's conversation.

"Duck what did you hear?" I ask folding my hands.

"Umm something about missing stuff." He answers all innocently.

"Well you need to un-hear all of that." I said trying to walk away.

"Can I help?" he questions me.

"What did I just say?" I question him back playing the adult card.

"You're the greatest detective and I can Dick Grayson! Your ward!" he claims and I just gave him a glare. "Thats robin."

"I know who it is." I shot back in a annoy tone. Figuring that he probably won't stop asking and I could use all the help I can get without making a scene.. "You can help. Don't tell anybody I mean that."

"Secrecy! Um what do I do?" He asks me quietly.

"I don't know. Go look around. Let me know if you find anything weird." He gives me the a-okay and runs off, its funny how he's more cheerful than his father. Before I go searching I should go back to Carley and Doug to see what they wanted to talk about. Hopefully its not them confessing they stole since they don't seem like the type to do so.

"Talk to lilly yet?" Carley ask as I made my way towards her and Doug.

"Yeah. She thinks supplies have been walking away." I answer her.

"Seriously?" Doug ask me.

"There's some broken equipment too. I'll look into it... unless y'all two know anything about this." They both look at me like I insulted them.

"No way we haven't broken nor stole anything." Doug tells me with Carley shaking her head agreeing with Doug.

"I didn't think either of you two would. Now that we got that part out of the way what did you guys wanted to talk about." Carley took a moment before out of no where saying, "You're a convicted killer."

"Jesus Carley in front of Doug?" I question out of shock by the fact that she just announce part of my secret in front of Doug who strangely seem okay with hearing it.

She quickly explains what she means, "Relax I already had told Doug a while ago and he's okay with it. I know I said I wouldn't tell someone but me and you can trust Doug and though you and Lilly are close I'm afraid about how she seem close to blurt out your secret to the rest of the group. Which is what we want to talk to you about, we think you should tell whoever you are comfortable with about your secret that way if it somehow comes out it won't hold a lot of resentment if they don't hear it from you."

Processing everything she just said, she was right. For so long I try to make up for my mistake that I haven't told anyone like Clem or Lilly about it. Maybe this is a chance to really move forward from it and though I don't like the fact that Doug found out Im glad he doesn't hate me and make its easier on who else I should tell.

"Your probably right." I said to her.

"Of course she's right. When I found out I wasn't angry because since I met you I had yet to feel threaten by you so to me your not a convicted killer in my eyes. So will you do it?" Doug mentions to me and it made me feel better about telling the people I'm close with.

"Yea I will. Thanks for the pep talk guys." I answer with a smile.

"Hey thats what friends are for right?" Carley asks with a smile as well as I left them so they could have their alone time.


*Mins after searching for stolen supplies*

So now that Carley and Doug know I should decide on who else should know my secret. At this point I should tell Clementine, if I am going to keep watch over her she should at least know the truth from me instead of someone else. Lilly is another person I need to tell, even with her being stress I still think she should know. I care and trust her enough to honestly tell her something like that. I don't know if Ben should know since he probably would just freak out over it... screw it I rather he freak out from me saying it anyways. That leaves Kenny and Katjaa. I don't mind telling Katjaa since she always saw good in me but as far as Kenny goes I'm not telling him. For one our friendship has completely change, knowing him he will likely use that against me in the future, and now I think about it he has left me high and dry for dead twice now so telling him will make him not give a damn about anymore that he already does now. Well thats my choices now to make them happen starting with Clem and once I talk to everyone that I need to talk to I will let Lilly know what I found out.

I walk over to where Clem was as she was drawing a picture from earlier. "Hey sweet pea."

"Hey Lee." she reply back with a smile.

Okay here I go. "Clem, I need to talk to you for a second."

"Okey dokey."

"The day you and I met, I was in a car accident." I start to confess to her.

"I remember, your leg was bleeding."

"The car I was in was a police car and I was on my way to jail for committing a crime. I need to tell you now because I don't want you to hear it any other way." After I told the her the truth a surprise look form on her face.

"Okay." was all she said.

"Do you have anything to say?" I ask wanting her to tell me how she feel if she has a problem with anything I just said.

"I don't think so." she answers.

"You can go back to your things." She nods her head and goes back drawing.

Well that wasn't easy but its a start. Since she is over there I better go ahead and tell Katjaa and she can tell Kenny if she wants to but I'm not going to tell him.

"Hey Katjaa can I talk to you about something?" I ask politely as Kenny was resting on the couch.

"Sure. Is everything okay?" She asks as we walk away from the couch to keep Kenny from waking up.

"I want to tell you that I was on my way to prison three months ago. You've always looked at me with kind eyes and I wonder if you would still do that if you knew I was a convicted felon." I confess to her earning the same reaction that Clem gave me when I told her.

"My goodness, for what?" How much trouble can a teacher get into?" She asks not understanding what exactly did I do.

"Well, plenty, but it had nothing to do with that... It was for murder." I straight up told her.

"Why?"

"He and my wife were..." As I try to explain it like was out of respect she cuts me off.

"That's enough. Tell me what happened when you were locked in the fridge. At the dairy." Part of me felt that I shouldn't because of what Kenny did but there was no point of lying now.

"I was giving Larry CPR with Lilly and Kenny came in from out of nowhere and put a stop to it."

"What did he do?"

I hesitate before answering, "He smash his head in."

At that moment she was silence with a hurt expression on her face, I could tell thats not what she was expecting to hear as she begin to walk off.

"Katjaa..." I whisper.

"Everything keeps changing." was the last thing she said as she went back over to Kenny.

I wish that could had gone better, I wasn't expecting to answer about the incident but she was going to find the truth out eventually. Even though Kenny should had been the one to tell her. *Sigh* I guess Ben is up next.

"Hey Ben I need to tell you something." I got his attention while he was on lookout.

"Sure, Lee. Is it about my watch? I'm trying to do a good job." He questions me nervously.

"Your doing fine." I assure him as I go on to tell him the truth.

"I was on my way to prison before this." I reveal to him.

"Whoa, seriously? What, uh, were you in for?" Strangely he doesn't seem as shock as I thought he would.

"Its not important. Just, if you hear anything, its probably true and now you know."

"Thanks for trusting me, man. I, uh, I.." he starts stuttering like he was worry he was about to say something wrong.

"Ben relax."

"Okay."

Now thats funny. I would had thought out of all people Ben would be the one to freak out but he actually was calm about it. I don't know if it was just because he felt good about me trusting him or what. Regardless I'm happy that was dealt with and now last but certainly not least Lilly. Theres no telling how she is going to react or if she already knows thanks to Larry, but theres only one way to find out.

"Hey." I said to Lilly as I walk back inside her room.

"Find anything?" She asks while lifting her head back up to look at me.

"Yes but first I need to tell you something important about me."

"Sure go ahead Lee." She said with concern. I really feel nervous but if I was able to tell Clem than I should have no problem telling Lilly plus she deserve the truth.

"Lilly I'm telling you thins because at this point I feel we have gotten close enough for you to know this secret about me... I was sent to prison before the plague." I confess feeling the weight off my shoulders.

"*hit." she mutters which made me curious.

"What?" I ask.

"Dad said there was something about you."

"So you already knew?" I wouldn't be surprise knowing how Larry threaten to tell her in the past.

"No I mean I didn't know what to know." she admits.

"Well it's true and I'm sorry. If you have second thoughts about me I completely understand but at least you actually heard the truth from me." I said in a low tone getting ready for what any negative reaction.

"My dad treated you like *hit, knew who you were and you tried to save his life, not only that you have truly been there for me. The last thing you need to do is apologize." She tells me which actually put a smile on my face.

"Thank you." I whisper to her looking in her eyes.

Lilly look back at me until she gets up, comes towards me to sit on my lap, and the next thing I know she kiss me on the lips softly. I kiss back loving the taste of her lips, tho part me felt that this wasn't the time but I couldn't denied that I really felt something for Lilly, I just wasn't sure if she felt something about me.

"Lee you are a incredible man, so who cares if you had kill a guy before? I bet he was a dick considering your not quick to kill unless you need to." She said while rubbing the side of my face.

"Well, it ruined my life."

"Good thing everyone else's got destroyed shortly thereafter, huh? Misery loves company." She jokes getting a laugh out of me as I wrap my arms around her waist. I really enjoying this moment, since the world is pretty much in hell at times like this is good to have these nice moments with the one you really care about. I somewhat can relate now to how Kenny must feel when it comes to Katjaa.

"So about the stolen supplies.." I began to tell her but we was both cut off by someone yelling "YOU DON'T *UCKING STEAL FROM US!"

"What the hell!?" Lilly question. We both look to see some bandits capturing our group holding them hostage.

"They got our people!" I warn Lilly but she was already on the move getting her rifle. "What are you doing?"

"Stall them. Just keep them talking.. and be careful." She commands me before escaping out the window. I figure she would find a spot to snipe the bandits down. Which means I need to buy her enough time to do so.

"YOU MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR LIVES!" one of the bandits yell. I lift my hands up in surrender and walk slowly towards them.

"Hold it right there!" One of the bandits command pointing his gun at me.

"Take it easy..." I calmly said walking towards them. "We have more supplies. We can keep the deal going."

"To late *hithead! We ain't giving second chances!" He yell back at me. I notice Lilly was getting in position so I still need to make time for her.

"It was a mix-up! We'll make it worth your while." I claim to keep him talking.

"I'm listenin." he tells me.

"What will it take to reach a deal?" I ask the bandit.

"About twice as much as you been giving us!"

"You got it. Done."

"Is that so?" It seem to work because he lowers his gun. "Well.. I suppose we oughta hash out some terms. then!"

"I don't like no hash." One of the other bandits said.

"SHUT UP OR I'LL *BAM*" At that moment the bandit I was originally talking to got shot in the head giving the group the opportunity to make their move. Kenny and Katjaa made a run for it as Carley grab her gun and shot two of the bandits in the head. I signal Clementine to come to me as Doug grab on of the bandits gun and try to shoot the one escaping but he miss thus allowing that bandit to call for the others to show.

"We gotta get out of here!" Kenny shots at me.

"No *hit!" I yell back with Clem right beside me behind the RV.

Kenny hands me his rifle, "Get those Bastards! Cover our people and get them to the RV. Clem come on inside." Clem look at me and I nod in approval, so she follows Kenny inside as I start shooting some of the bandits. Doing so allow Carley, Doug, and Ben to make their way to me.

"Thank you save our asses their." Ben tells me.

"Just get inside." I order them.

"Lee help!" Katjaa cry to me seeing a group of walkers made their way in the area.

"Katjaa hand on." Seeing a walker coming towards her and Duck I was able to shoot it before it got chance to attack.

"Alright you two come on." I yell seeing that they were okay to come over. Kenny comes out to get his family inside while telling me "Thank you." I nod back at him turning my attention towards Lilly.

"Everyone made it Lilly come on!" I yell hearing Kenny starting the RV.

"Okay!" She yells back making her way to us. The RV starting moving but Lilly was able to make it just in time to make our exit. Thank God she made it along with Clem and the rest of the group.


*Later that night on the road*

"Is everyone alright?" I ask the group in general.

We fine." Katjaa said along with the others.

"Well this group is not fine. We need to figure out how this happened. We just lost everything." Lilly speaks to the group.

"Well we're lucky as hell to have this RV!" Kenny mentions while he was driving.

"And nobody got hurt, bit, nor died." Carley also mentions with Doug's arm around her shoulder.

"Still somebody in here caused this." Lilly mutters out loud and sadly she was right.

"Settle down back there; the bandits have had our number for weeks!" Kenny trying to calm everyone down.

"This is different. Somebody was working with them." Lilly tells the group.

"*sigh* She's right, whoever it was was slipping them our meds. They didn't get their last package, so they attack. I found a bag of supplies hidden outside the wall!" I openly tell the group which I try to tell Lilly earlier.

"That make total sense." Lilly agreeing with me.

"Calm down back there! Thats nuts!" Kenny again trying to calm everyone. I was impress that he was keeping his cool this time, but I can tell Lilly wasn't keep hers.

"So, Carley and Doug, is there something you want to say?" Lilly ask the couple.

"What you getting at it?" Doug question defensively.

"We have to get it out of you then?" Lilly starts speaking in a dark tone that I am not liking.

"Back off." Carley chime in.

"Neither of you two are in no position to make demands." Lilly shoots back at them.

"Whoa whoa now you just pointing fingers." Carley implies.

"Maybe this not is not the right time." Kenny suggests while still driving.

"If not then when especially with what just happen?" Lilly questions angrily.

"Why them? This seems like a stab in the dark, Lilly." I calmly tell her and being honest.

"Well in Carley case she's always SO eager to see what supplies we found. She never talks about her family. She could be related to those bastards for all we know." Lilly assume which gets Doug upset.

"Now hold on a second, now I know I don't get wrapped in the politics around here, but we really need to think before we start stringing somebody up!" Doug tells Lilly with Carley jumping in saying, "And beside my family are Lutherans not a bunch of meth-riddled forest people."

"Yet you are not saying it wasn't you.." Lilly began to say until Carley interrupts her.

"It wasn't!" she said confidently.

"Guys I know Lilly is coming across strong but we have to act on this NOW. Its nuts yea but we have a traitor here. Do you guys get that? Someone who puts their insidious *hit above everyone else." I explain to the group, it wasn't the popular decision but the longer we wait to deal with it the worse its going to get.

"Thank you Lee." Lilly agreeing with me. She was about to start asking Ben questions but we heard the RV hit something outside.

"What's going on up there?" Lilly ask Kenny freaking out.

"I hit something, we gotta stop!" Kenny tells us as he pulls over.

"In that case we can deal with this now then." Lilly looks at Ben making him nervous.

"Kenny is it safe out there?" I ask before we do what we was about to do. "Should be."

"Everybody out." Lilly orders beside Clem and Doug since Katjaa will look after them. We made our way out the RV, Lilly checks underneath to see what she could find. "Kenny, the RV has some surface damage but there's a walker trapped underneath.

"Just great. Everyone, keep your eyes peeled." Kenny said since he starts finding a way to get the walker unstuck.

"We should hear what everybody thinks about your stories." Lilly claims looking at Doug and Carley.

"Well I think you should chill out!" Ben suggest with a panic tone.

"We are not going to take this. You might think you can push Ben around but you can't push us around."

"With that attitude I'm starting to think that it was both of you that did it. Just tell me which on of you did it and this can be over with."

"There's no way it was Carley or Doug. It was somebody else." I tell Lilly my opinion.

"Thats what you think?" She asks me.

"Yes." I answer.

"Okay fine then. Kenny?"

"I don't know! Just, stop would ya?!" Kenny yells still trying to get the walker out.

"Well your vote counts for you and Katjaa." Lilly claims.

We don't need all those VOTED! What do we have to do for you to TRUST US! I'll do ANYTHING!" Ben just blurts out, if I didn't know any better I said he sound guilty

"Seriously Ben stop panicking. You need to stop and just take a breath." I order Ben because his panicking was not helping the issue.

"Do we need any more evidence than this?!" Lilly questions me.

"Screw Evidence! Stop treating us like this." Doug chimes in.

"Kenny what is going to be? Lilly asks Kenny again.

"Just give me a damn minute!"

"Ben you have until that walker is dealt with to tell it was them and not you." She glares at him.

"Your just torturing him!" Carley mentions.

"Lilly just calm down a bit this is getting a little out of hand." I told her, this isn't the best way to handle this.

"You know I can't Lee not until we figure this out." She shoots back at me.

"THERE! I got him." Kenny yells finally getting the walker out.

"Please lets just get back in the RV." Ben suggests again but I can tell Lilly wasn't cool with that idea.

"That's not happening." she said shooting down the idea

"You think you're some tough *itch, don't you? Like nothing can hurt you, but you're just a scared little girl. Get the *uck over it. Take a page from Lee's book and try helping somebody for once." Carley said some things right than I don't think anyone expected to hear. I look over to Lilly and she seem like she was about to meltdown.

"Now what the *uck the problem? Kenny ask coming over to us.

We look over to Lilly but she just stood there speechless. She lowers her head and quietly goes back inside the RV. Seeing her do this left us pretty stun as well.

"Okay what just happen?" Kenny asks in confusion.

"I don't know, but we probably should get a move out of here and talk about this later. We could use some rest after all." I said to group getting nods from them as we all head back in as Kenny drove off with none of us saying a word to each other.


*The next morning*

"Rise and shine! We got something up ahead." Kenny calls out to the group walking us up. It was surprising to see him still awake still driving.

"Whats going on Ken?" I ask rubbing my eyes.

"The road's blocked." He points out slowing the RV down. "Now we got to deal with this." After stopping the RV, Me Kenny, and Doug got out to see a train was blocking our way.

"You think theres any way around it?" Doug asks.

"Doesn't look like it. On foot, maybe. Can't really afford to do that now." Kenny explains to us.

I look around the area to make sure the coast was clear. "This seem like a safe area. All this brush will stop anything from creeping up on us."

"Well for now lets all get out the RV except Lilly." Kenny tells us.

"What are trying to say?" I question him not liking how he state that.

"Look I don't know what state of mind Lilly is in and the last thing we need is for her to blow up again like last night." Kenny tries telling me but I wasn't buying.

"It just sound to me that you just looking after your self." I shot back at him.

"Lee *sign* I not going to sit here and act like I know you care for her but Lilly hasn't been the same since Larry... If it comes down to it we might need to make a decision." He starts telling me and I have a feeling I know what he's trying to suggest.

"What decision!?" I question him angrily.

"About maybe letting her go on her own.." He said softly which sets me off.

"THERES NO WAY IM LETTING THAT HAPPEN ESPECIALLY THAT YOU CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN TO HER!" I yell at him.

"Lee just calm down..." Doug trying to calm me down.

"You know what back at the pharmacy you ask me about leaving in the RV or staying well just like your loyalties is with Katjaa and Duck my loyalties is with Lilly and Clementine so if you plan on kicking her out you better be ready to kick me out!" I warn him.

It was quiet at first until Kenny finally spoke and said, "Your right Lee, I did at the end of the day cause Lilly to be in the state of mind that she is in due to what happen to her dad, but like you said I got to look out for my family just like you got to look out for yours... so maybe this when we do go our separate ways because this is just one thing I won't stand on."

I just look at him and thought about what he said. I can tell he has guilt in him and yes Lilly hasn't been perfect but none us our but I like I always knew Kenny is family comes first type of guy and if anything I can't take that away from him.

"Im sorry Kenny for everything I did to hurt you..." I apologize to him, I don't know why but if we was about to do what we about to do I want it off of good terms not bad terms as I offer my hand to him.

He looks at it and he hesitate at first but instead gives me a bro-type hug." I am sorry too. I know I came off a jerk to you at times but I can't forget what you have done when it came to my family and your are and always will be my friend." I hug him back after hearing what he said.

"Guys please..." Doug try to talk but we cut him off.

"Don't tell the group yet. I think we should find a way to see if this train will work and from their figure out what paths we will take. Right Kenny?"

"I agree pal." He answers as we get everyone off the RV.

"What was that fight all about?" I overhear Carley ask Doug to him answering "We will talk about it later." in a sad tone.

"Lee is everything alright?" Clem ask me, I don't know how she is going to feel once I tell her about the plan but its already set in motion.

"Yes for now, we will explain later.. Just hang with Duck and Katjaa okay?" I ask of her.

"Okay." She tells me with a hug with me hugging her back. Lilly came out but I pull her to the side where nobody could see us.

"Lilly what happen last night? It was like you completely shut down after Carley said what she said." I question her wanting to know whats going on in her head.

"You kicking me out... leaving me alone out there..." Lilly mutters to me.

"What? No... Lilly the fight me and Kenny had to do with the fact that he thinks that you are a danger to the group but.."

"I get it Lee, I have fully recover from what happen to my dad and now I taking it out on everyone by not trusting and pointing fingers at people. I deserve to be abandon." She tells me in defeat. I couldn't believe that this was coming out of Lilly's mouth and I won't stand for it either.

"No NO. Don't you ever say that! Yes you can be hard to handle but you are no danger. You are strong, confident, and a leader that I.. grown to have feelings for." She looks at me with shock in her eyes as I continue. "I'm not where Im going to say I love you but I care for you just as much as I do Clem. I been have these feelings for a while and I just haven't realize that until that moment you kiss me. Lilly I won't abandon you and thats why me and Kenny decide to split once we get things rolling with the train. Do you understand?" I can tell she is soaking all this in because she was speechless. At that moment she grabs my face and kiss me with me grabbing her waist kissing her back. Damn this feels good.

She breaks the kiss telling me, "Thank you Lee for always being there to tell me right and wrong and for saving me. I promise I will be better for you and Clem."

"I know you will. Just try to make things right with the group while me and Kenny get things ready okay?" She nods at me with a smile giving one more kiss before I go to work.


*A hour later*

Well it took some time but we was able to get the train started. During that time Lilly did her best to ask for forgiveness, so far Carley and Doug were okay but I wasn't sure about Ben. Also I met a older guy name Chuck, who turns out he actually live in the train for a while now. He actually hit it off with the group rather well and as long Clem was okay around him then I'm fine with that. Once we got the train working, we gather up everyone to explain what was going to happen next which like I expect didn't receive positive reactions from it.

"WHY?"

"ARE YOU TWO SERIOUS?"

"WE CANT SPLIT NOW!"

"Everyone calm down. Look me and Lee are on mutual terms with this and no hard feelings against each other but this is just the way it needs to be for now. Lee and Lilly will take the RV whatever they go and I will be taking the train with Katjaa and Duck to the coast. So you guys have to decide now which road you are following and chuck made it clear already that he is sticking to the train so that leaves Carley, Doug, and Ben to decide." Kenny made it clear to the group.

Carley and Doug look at each other and thought about it until Ben spoke up, "Well in that case I'm going with Kenny!" Ben choose which rather shock all of us. "Lee nothing against you and I thank you for letting me in the group to begin with but I still not fully comfortable around Lilly and I rather take my chance on the coast then on the road."

I look at Ben for a bit and in a weird way I was proud that he wasn't afraid to speak up for his self without feeling judge. I walk over to him and shake his hand with a smile. "I respect your choice Ben. Good to see your growing up, and knowing Kenny he will get you prepare for the rest of the world." Kenny chimes in saying "you bet your ass I will." with a smirk.

That left Carley and Doug. "We will go with Lee. No its not because he save us in the past but we feel we have gotten real close to him plus that should make the split up even 5 on 5 right." Carley spoke up with Kenny nodding his head at them knowing that they was going to pick Lee but he couldn't blame them.. Lee is a hell of a guy.

"Alright that settle it. We all should say our goodbyes for I don't know if we meet again but heres hoping we do." I tell the group as we said our last goodbyes to each other. I can tell this hurt Clem and Doug the most because they play with each other all the time. Hopefully that pain won't last long. We got into our respective transportations and after Kenny got the train moving we made our way forward.

"So Lee where exactly is next location?" Lilly ask as she was the driver of the RV. That was a good question, I haven't really thought that part out on where we should go consider I don't know a lot of safe places. Suddenly I look at Clem who looks back at me and thats when I figure out where we will be going.

"Alright gang, I decided that due to a promise I made.. We will be going to Savannah to look for Clementines parents. Once we find out the status from them we will figure out from there." This cause everyone to give me shocking looks but Clem had a huge smile on her face as I smile back at her.
