Everyone was walking down the deserted the road away from Terminus and after a while they stopped for minute to catch there breath and eat whatever food they had left. Tara wanted to make amends with Kenny about the prison.
" Hey Kenny?" Tara said
"Yeah." Kenny said
"I just wanted to say... about what happened... back at the prison I just wanted to... I didn't know what those men were or what they could do." Tara said nervous and scared.
" Don't worry about it...you didn't know, and those assholes are dead now...and that's good enough for me" Kenny said walking off
Tara then went to talk to Rick but she didn't know what to say.
"you didn't want to be there, that's why I tried to talk to you...Glenn told me you saved his life" Rick said
"he saved mine" Tara said
"Thats how it works with us right?" Rick said
"Yeah." Tara said
Tara wanted to give Rick a Fist pump and he returned the gesture.
"Go and get something to eat, where starting back at sun up" Rick said walking away.
While they were continuing on there journey it turned night fall so they decided to start a campfire and rest until morning.
At the campfire everyone was talking and chatting.
"Hey Omid hows the Leg?" Lee said
"It could be better" Omid said holding his leg.
"You'll be fine sweetie" Christa said
"Come on Christa don't embarrass me." Omid said happily.
"Next thing you'll know she'll call you cupcake" Kenny said
Everyone Laughed a little, Clementine was sitting by the Campfire with Lee and Carley she tried to shut her eyes to get some sleep, but as she was those painful memories started to come back. she quickly lifted her head back up again.
"Clementine are you okay?" Lee said
"Yeah Lee, I'm fine it's okay" Clementine said.
Clementine looked at Carl for a minute and then turned away.
Carl was paying attention to her with a concerned look.
While Carol and Daryl were staying Watch, Molly was on the other side staying watch to, she was checking her Ice Tool Hilda that she got back from Kenny.
"Hey Molly" Ben said
"What do you want Ben?" Molly said
" Well...I...Uh..I just thought you might want I little bit of company" Ben said
Molly just gave him a look.
"your not going to try to hit on me are you?" Molly said
"What? no of course not I just thought...that...you know." Ben said nervously
"I'm just kidding Ben." Molly said with a smile.
Ben went to sit right by her side, they sat there in silence for a minute.
"Do you miss Travis?" Molly said.
Ben just rubbed the front of his head with his hand and let out a sigh.
"Yeah...I do I may not have shown it but...He was my best friend" Ben said sadly
"You guys seemed close." Molly said
" I've known him since middle school the kids always picked on me always called me "Band Geek" becuase I loved playing the drums, Travis always had my back, back in Highschool he always tried to hit on the girls but always got turned down, but theirs one thing that he would never shut up about and that was him bragging about how cool his dad was, always talking about how cool he was, how he was in Special forces and how he showed him how to do all these cool things like how to pick locks" Ben said
"A father showed his kid how to LockPick?" Molly said
" I know right?...What about you do you miss him?" Ben said
Molly was just silent.
"Are you still mad at Bob about what happened back at the college?" Ben said
Molly just Looked at Bob as he was sitting by the camp fire with Sasha talking
"...No, he knew he messed up and he felt guilty because of it...you can only give a person so much shit until it's time to let it go and move on." Molly said
"Yeah" Ben said
suddenly Molly heard something behind her, Molly got up readied Hilda and turned around.
"What is it?" Ben said
Molly just looked out in the forest, with a cautioned look on her face
"It was probably nothing" Ben said
Molly slowly put Hilda down and sat back down.
(Intro)
The Next Day
Everyone was walking in the woods, Omids condition was starting to get worse.
"How's Omid?" Lee said to Christa
""His Leg is getting pretty bad" Christa said to Lee
"I'm fine" Omid said to Christa
"your not fine, you need rest, he needs to rest." Christa said to Rick up ahead
" It isn't safe to stop here now, we need to get out of the woods first before we do anything else." Rick said to Christa
"I don't know how much longer he can go on like this, if it's gets any worse were going to have to carry him" Christa said.
"Christa It's okay I don't need anybody's Charity" Omid said limping.
As they were walking they heard something. everybody was readying there guns, but it was just Daryl and Molly coming back with some squirrels.
"We Surrender" Daryl said joking
Everybody put there guns down.
"No tracks, nothing," Daryl said
"The Noise that you and Molly heard last night?" Rick said
" it felt like something was watching us last night" Daryl said
"Or someone?" Molly said
"Just keep your eyes peeled just in case" Lee said
Rick whistles.
"Keep close" Rick said to everyone
"HELP, HELP SOMEONE HELP!" A man yelled out in the distance
Rick signaled everybody to stop but Carl wanted to help.
"COME ON DAD...COME ON!" Carl said Running.
Everyone was running towards the noise, and as they were getting close they saw a well dressed man on top of a large boulder kicking away the walkers that were trying to reach for him. as they were running Omid pushed himself to hard and he tripped and fell.
"Omid are you okay" Christa said
" I don't know." Omid said holding his leg.
"You reopened your wound." Christa said
"Just stay back while we deal with this," Lee said to Christa and Omid
Carl was the first one to shoot a walker, Clementine shot one as well, Rick went to one and slammed it's head into the rock, Lee stabbed one in the head, one almost got Carol But Daryl took care of it with his crossbow. after they finished taking care of the walkers Rick told the Man to get down from the boulder.
"Are you okay?" Rick said
The man then vomited on the ground, everybody looked away in disgust.
" Sorry, I'm fine, thank you...I'm Gabriel" The man said
"Do you have any weapons on you" Rick said
" Does I look like that I would have any weapon" Gabriel said
"I don't give two shits on what it looks like." Abraham said to Gabriel
"Just answer the Question." Lee said to Gabriel.
" I don't have weapons of any kinde, the word of God is all the protection I need? Gabriel said
"Sure didn't look like it" Daryl said
" I called for help, and help came" Gabriel said
Everyone just looked at him
"Do you have any food whatever I had left fell to the ground? Gabriel said
"I have some peanuts" Carl said handing him some
"Thank you" Gabriel said
" Do you guys have a camp?" Gabriel said
"No do you?" Lee said
"I have a church" Gabriel said
"Put your hands above your head" Rick said
Gabriel complied and he lifted his hands up while Rick Frisked him.
"How many walkers have you killed?" Rick said
"None" Gabriel said.
"How many people have you killed?" Rick said
"None" Gabriel said
"Why?" Rick said
" Because the Lord Abhors Violence" Gabriel said
" The Lord also Condones Violence to." Kenny said toGabriel
" what have you done...we've all done something" Rick said to Gabriel
"I'm a sinner, I sin almost everyday, but those sins I confessed them to god, not strangers" Gabriel said
"You said you had a church? Michonne said
"could you take us their, Please" Christa said holding up Omid
Gabriel looked at them all and decided to take them.
As they were walking towards the church they decided to have a little small talk with Gabriel.
"Where you the one that was watching us last night?" Rick said
"I keep to myself, nowadays people are just as bad as the dead don't you think?" Gabriel said
"No there Worse" Daryl said
" Well it wasn't me who was watching you, that was the farthest I ever traveled from my church...or maybe I'm lying, maybe theirs no Church at all and I'm leading you all into a trap so I can steal all your squirrels" Gabriel said jokingly
Everyone then just stopped and looked at him threateningly
" members of my church always told me that my sense of humor, is less to be desired" Gabriel said nervously
"well they weren't lying" Daryl said
"Don't joke like that...ever, It'll get you killed" Kenny said Gabriel
"And besides we already have someone with a dried up sense of humor we don't need another one" Molly said looking at Omid
"I'm standing right here you know." Omid said
After sometime all of them made it to the church As Gabriel went to unlock the door. Rick stopped him.
"hold up, can we check around first, we just want to hold on to our squirrels" Rick said to Gabriel asking for the key.
Gabriel hands over the key and Rick unlocks the Door and goes inside with his gun ready.
"Alright Christa you stay here outside with Omid until we know the close is clear okay?" Lee said
" Alright Lee" Christa said letting Omid sit on the steps.
" Carley, Clementine you stay here outside with Christa and Omid keep a lookout out front. And Kenny, you and Sarita go with Abraham to check around back" Lee said.
"You got it." Kenny said
Rick, Lee, Glenn, Maggie, Daryl, Michonne, Molly and Ben went inside to check around the Church. as they were looking they saw a whole bunch of cans of food, Paper Drawings on the walls that looked like they were drawn by children, but nothing suspicious. Rick lets out a whistle to signal the close was clear and they walked out.
"I spent months here without stepping out the front door, if you found someone inside, that would've been surprising" Gabriel said
"Thank you for this" Carl said to Gabriel
"Yeah, it was really kind of you." Clementine said to Gabriel
"Me and Kenny Found a short bus out back, It don't run but we should be able to get it working in a day or two, looks like we found ourselves some transport...you understand whats at stake her right?" Abraham said to Rick
"Yeah I do." Rick said
"But that doesn't mean we have leave right away" Lee said to Abraham
" now we can take a breath." Michonne said.
"We take a breath we slow down, shit inevitably goes down" Abraham said
"We need supplies, no matter what we do next" Michonne said
"And Omids not in good condition to go anywhere, He needs to get this wound treated" Christa said walking in with Omid
"Thats right, Water, food, ammunition and medical supplies" Rick said walking in
" just keep your shirt on, the world isn't going anywhere" Carley said to Abraham
"One way or another were doing what Rick or Lee does, were not splitting up again." Glenn said Walking in
" "I'll help you fix that bus, but other then that I'm with them no matter what." Kenny said to Abraham
While everyone was getting inside the Church everyone was trying to get comfortable. Christa put Omid down on one of the Pews.
"It's okay" Omid said
"Everything is not okay your losing blood and god knows what you got in that wound other then that bullet, it could be infected it could be..." Christa said
"Know offence but you should really work on your bed side manner." Omid said
"I would if I was a doctor" Christa said
Christa went to talk to Gabriel
"Do you have any medical supplies or anything that can treat this wound" Christa said about Omid
"Sorry but no, all i got is the canned food and I pretty much cleaned everyplace close to here, all except for one, that place may have the thing you need" Gabriel said
"What kept you from it?" Rick said
"It's overrun" Gabriel said
"How many?" Lee said
"About a dozen." Gabreil said
"We can handle that" Rick said
"Bob and I will go with you and Lee, Tyresse can stay here to keep Judith safe with Carl" Sasha said
"I'm coming to" Christa said
"I'll draw you guys a map" Gabriel said
"No need, your coming with us". Rick said
Gabriel was a bit nervous after hearing that.
"You guys saw me out their, I won't be of any help" Gabriel said
"Your coming with us, weither you like it or not." Lee said in a kind of aggressive mood.
Clementine was sitting outside by the steps, with her head down. Carley was trying talking to her but to no avail as Lee was about to go outside, Carley went to him.
"Whats going on?" Lee said
"Clementine isn't doing so well, she seems to be keeping things to herself, she doesn't seem to want to talk about anything." Carley said
"I'll see if I can try to talk to her." Lee said
Carley tugged at his arm.
"Just be careful about what you say to her okay, she's been through a lot already." Carley said walking away
Lee went to go to talk to Clementine and as he put his hand on her shoulder to get her attention she jolted a little a bit.
"Oh hey Lee" Clementine said
"Clementine (Lee sits right by her side)...whats wrong, you know you can talk to me right?" Lee said
" Yeah I know I can." Clementine said
Lee payed attention to her closely.
"Is this about those bandits back on the road a few days ago?" Lee said
Clementine just covered her face with her hands to hide the tears.
"Clementine, you don't need to be scared anymore there gone now they won't be able to hurt you anymore." Lee said
"But what about those guys back in Terminus? what about them, won't they come back though?" Clementine said
"I don't know sweet pea, but that's why I want you to be careful because anything could happen, anything...you understand?" Lee said.
"I just want things back to the way they were before?" Clementine said
" I do too, and maybe one day it will...but right now we need to focus on taking care of the people we have, and I need you to stay strong for that, okay?" Lee said
"...Okay Lee" Clementine said looking up to him
"Now I need you to stay here and keep a close eye on things, help lookout for Omid and Judith, while me and Rick go out to get the supplies we need for Omid and everyone...you still have your gun I gave you right?" Lee said
"Yes" Clementine said taking it out of the back of her pants.
" and you know what to do if things go wrong while I'm gone?" Lee said
"Yes Lee, I know what to do." Clementine said
"Good, I'll be back soon Clementine" Lee said rubbing the top of her head and walking out.
Around the back of the Church, Kenny was checking under the hood of the Bus while Abraham was underneath it.
"You sure you know what your doing?" Abraham said
"I managed to fix up two busted ass R.V's, I think I could fix an old ass bus" Kenny said tweaking with the engine.
"Sarita could your turn on the ignition for me?" Kenny said
Sarita went into the bus to try to start it but it just let out a sputtering noise.
"did you turn it?" Kenny said
"Yeah" Sarita said
"Goddamn this piece of shit!" Kenny yelled kicking the bus in frustration
"Calm down Kenny." Sarita said
" I know, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Kenny said
"so your sure you know what your doing right?" Rosita said
"Oh Shut up." Kenny said Agitated.
Carl was sitting on one of the Pews looking after Judith While Omid was laying down try to take a nap on the other side, Clementine went to sit right by him.
"Hey Carl" Clementine said
"Oh, high Clementine." Carl said
"So hows Judith doing?" Clementine said
"She's sleeping for now...I'm just happy she's still alive, this whole time I thought she was dead...but now I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen." Carl said
"I'm happy for you and Rick, it's nice to know that your family is still alive and well." Clementine said looking at Judith with a smile.
"Do you miss your Mom?" Clementine said
"Everyday...Do you miss your mom and dad?" Carl said looking at Clementine.
"All the time...I don't know were I'd be right now if it wasn't for Lee and all of you... We've lost so many friends and family, Duck, Katjaa, Dale, Andrea, Hershel, everyone that helped us make it this far." Clementine said putting her head down.
Carl held Clementines hand.
"Were going to get through this Clementine." Carl said
Clementine looked at him with a smile, and Carl smiled back and they continued to look after Judith and Omid.
(Back with Rick and Lee)
Rick, Lee, Gabriel, Bob, Sasha, Bob and Christa were going to the one of the abandoned building to see if they can find food and supplies, While Glenn led another team with Tara, Maggie, Molly and Ben.
"So this place are you sure, there are things in there that we can use." Christa said
" Yes you should be able to find the stuff you need to help out your friend" Gabriel said
"So what are the things that were going to need to help out Omid?" Lee said to Bob
"Well to start off were going to need something to help remove the bullet maybe a pair of medical tweezers and some disinfectant, and something to stitch up the wound, and some bandages." Bob said
"Don't worry Christa, Bob will take good care of Omid once we get back" Sasha said
So Rick what do you think about Abrahams plan to go to Washington." Bob said
"I haven't decided yet." Rick said
"What about you Lee?" Bob said
" To be Honest, I'm not quite sure about it, This whole Washington thing seems like a shot in the dark." Lee said
" Well I'm calling it that you guys are going to decide to say yes." Bob said
" If theirs any chance that scientist can end this "Nightmare" don't you think we should go for it?" Christa said
" That all depends, but right now we need to focus on getting these supplies." Rick said
Molly, Ben and Molly were checking inside the gunstore to see if they can any weapons, While Tara and Maggie waited outside.
"You guys find anything yet?" Molly said
" No." Ben said checking through some boxes.
"How about you Gle-" Molly was interrupted after hearing a noise.
"Glenn?" Molly said
"I'm fine I just tripped." Glenn said picking himself up.
Molly was looking through some stuff until she came across mini fridge.
"Hey guys I think I might've found something." Molly said
Both Ben and Glenn walk to her and they see the Mini fridge that had a Padlock. Molly used her ice tool to break it off and opened it, inside they found three silencers.
"Why would someone stash silencers in a mini fridge?" Ben said
"Beats me but it looks like it's ours now." Molly said
(Back with Rick and Lee)
" This was the Food Bank it served the whole county, Everyone at my church would've been here." Gabreil said
"Food bank? what about medical supplies?" Christa said
"This Building was being shared for a whole lot of other things as well, with some luck the stuff you need for Omid should be in here." Gabriel said
Everyone goes inside into the Building that supposedly has allot of supplies, all of them carefully walk into the building with there weapons ready, everything seems to be safe, Christa went to look around for stuff for Omid, All she can find were stuff for stitches and a pair of Tweezers.
" This is all I can find, how about you guys?" Christa said
Everyone then started to hear some noise coming from a gaping hole in the ground they looked down and saw some walkers being soaked in water for god knows how long.
"Looks like they've been there for a while." Michonne said
"Well it sure smells like it" Lee said
Everyone was looking around and as Christa was looking she saw first aid kit on top of one of the shelves.
"Theirs a first aid kit over there." Christa said pointing.
"Yeah but how you suppose we can get it with out those walkers coming at us" Sasha said
" We can use shelves to keep them off our back, be careful Everyone" rick said
Everyone was getting ready to go down and Rick saw Gabriel backing away.
"Hey I said your were coming with us" Rick said to Gabriel.
Rick and Everyone carefully went down into the hole as the walkers were closing in on them, they used the shelves to keep the walkers at bay and stabbed them if they got to close. Gabriel wasn't taking it very well and after looking at a particular Walker he panicked and started to run off knocking away anything that was in his way to try to get back to the top. Rick just stared at him with confused look.
"Whats wrong with him" Bob said
I don't know" Rick said
"He's going to get us killed." Lee said
The walkers started to get closer so with no choice they tipped over one of the shelves on top of the walkers. to try and get him. everyone were taking down walkers as best they can. and Rick went to help Gabriel after he saw a walker coming towards him and Gabriel wasn't doing anything to stop it.
"Where did the First Aid Kit go?" Christa said
Christa went around looking for it.
"there it is" Lee said pointing at it with his flash light
" Don't worry I got it" Bob said
As he was walking towards the First Aid kit a Walker from Under water grabbed his shirt and pulled him down into the water.
"BOB!" Christa and Sasha, Lee yelled.
all three of them tried to get to him. Bob came back up with walker that was trying to bite him, Bob was trying to get away from it as best he could. bob then pushed it back into a Piece of Metal making it stuck, Sasha then Stabbed the Walker in the head.
"Oh shit Bob are you okay" Christa said
"I'm fine, I'm fine" Bob said picking back up the First Aid kit.
Sasha went to hug Bob.
Everyone was then walking down the road with there food and supplies. back to the Church. Christa quickly ran inside with Bob to take care of Omids Leg
" nice to see you guys made it here in one piece." Kenny said
"Yeah well it wasn't easy hows the bus coming along." Lee said
Were gettin there" Abraham said
"Well we found a whole bunch of food incase you guys are hungry." Lee said
Clementine came outside.
"You made it back" Clementine said
" Hey Sweet pea, is everything okay?" Lee said
"Yeah Christa and Bob are taking care of Omid right now and Judith is okay to." Clementine said
" Good" Lee said
"Lee theres something I want to show you, it's what me and Carl found in the back of the church?" Clementine said
"What is it?" Lee said
Lee went to follow Clementine and when they got to the back they saw Carl and Rick looking at something carved into the church.
What did you guys find?" Lee said
"This." rick said pointing at the message
" "You'll Burn for this?" What the hell?" Lee said
" What do you think it Means?" Carl said to them.
" I'm pretty sure it means something bad." Clementine said
Later that night everyone was trying to relax as best they can eating and drinking. Omid got up with his bandaged up leg.
"Everyone I would like to Propose a toast to Bob, for helping me fix my leg, I don't know how I would've gone on if it wasn't for you, my Girl Christa and everyone else here so thank you" Omid said
" you have my thanks as well Bob" christa said
"Your Welcome" Bob said
Abraham was the second person to come up.
" I would like to propose a toast...in this room.. I see Survivors...each and every one of you deserves that title...To the Survivors" Abraham said
"To the Survivors." Everyone said
Is that all you want to be, waking up in the morning, killing the dead, forging for food, go to sleep with one eye open rinse and repeat? because all of you can do that... you got the strengh, skill...thing is...for you people for what you can do...if we can get Eugene to Washington he will make the dead die and the living will have this world again and that is not a bad take away for a road trip...Eugene whats in D.C?" Abraham said.
" Infrastructure constructed to withstand an epidemic of this magnitude...that means food, fuel, refuge...restart." Eugene said.
"How ever this plays out, however long this takes for the reset button to kick in, all of you can be safe there...come with us...all of you.. save the world for the little ones...save it for yourselves...save it for the people who got nothing left to do...but survive." Abraham said to Rick.
Rick was holding Judith.
"what was that? I think she knows what I'm about to say. if she's in, then I'm in were in." Rick said
"And I'm in to." Lee said
Everyone went to cheer for the idea
sometime Later
Ben was Outside walking around the Church checking to make sure the close was clear and to report anything suspicious, Ben volunteered to keep a lookout just in case. as he was going around the Church he noticed that Bob was walking into the woods.
Ben went to go to see what he was doing and by the time he got to him he saw that Bob was crying
"Hey Bob are you okay?" Ben said
but before bob could even respond something knocked him out from behind.
"oh my god GU-!" Before Ben could even respond or even react he was then stabbed in the gut like three times by another person. Ben slumped into the ground against a tree Coughing out blood.
"Don't finish him off, take Bob and leave this one to turn, they'll get the message" The person said.
Ben could only see through Fainting eyes as he saw the two people take Bob away. as he started to pass out, around at least a a few minutes later, he could here noises
"Ben...Oh..God BEN!" The Voice yelled.
(Unknown Location)
Bob was starting to wake up
"Hey he's waking up Gareth" A man said
"Hey...Wake up...oh your back with us huh...well the good news is your not dead yet...that's relief right... I mean I can't say the same for your friend but... it is what it is..." Gareth said
Bob just looked at him.
"I want to explain myself a little..we didn't want to hurt you...before... we didn't want to take you away from your group or kill that kid you were talking to or try to scare you... these are the things we want to do...the things we got to do...you and your people killed our people and took away our home...that's fair play... and now were out here like everybody else.. trying to survive.. and in order to do that we have to hunt...it didn't start that way.. eating people.. it evolved into that, we evolved.. and now we devolved into Hunters...I told you, I said it, you can't go back Bob... I just hope you understand that everything that's happening to you now isn't personal...I mean granted you put us all in this situation in the first place..and it's almost kind of a Cosmic Justice to be you.. but we would've done this to anybody... and we will... but at the end of the day no matter how much we hate this ugly business...a mans got to eat" Gareth said
Bob looked down and noticed that his Left leg was missing. he was then starting to panic by breathing rapidly, Gareth then took a bite from a piece of the leg that was cooking on the fire.
"If it make you feel any better I think we made the right choice not killing "you" " Gareth said continuing to eat.
