Chapter 2
At the motor inn, everybody is at the motel. Larry and Johnny is working on a fence, Petey, Constantinos and Lola were sitting on the chair, Duck are drawing and Katjaa is next to Duck, Carley is sleeping on a couch, Bucky and Doug were working on some sort of defence system, Clementine playing soccer and Lilly in on the RV being on watch. Suddenly, she sees the bushes moving and she aims her rifle at the bushes. She whistles and everybody hides. She is about to shoot and... Lee, Jimmy and the others show up.
Lee: Get the gates open! We've got wounded.
Lilly: Shit. What the hell are they doing?
Johnny and Doug open the gates and the others come through.
Bucky: Guys, what's going on?
Petey: Jimmy, what happened?
Larry: Who the hell are they?!
Clementine: Lee, are you okay?
Katjaa: Get him into the truck. I'll see what I can do.
Kenny: Kat, can you fix him?
Katjaa: Jesus, Ken! I-I don't know…
Lilly: LEE! JIMMY! What the hell?! You both can't just be bringing new people here! What are you two thinking?!
Kenny: Hey, you wanna calm down for a fucking minute!
Larry: HEY, Watch your mouth!
Lilly: No, I don't! I want to know why you thought bringing more mouths to feed was a good idea?!
Jimmy: They could of died in the forest!
Larry: So what?
Lilly: We are NOT responsible for every struggling survivor we come across! We have to focus on OUR group! Right here. right now.
Petey: Now, now, let's calm down and-
Larry: Shut it!
Carley: Hang on! We haven't talked with these people yet, maybe they CAN be helpful!
Johnny: Yeah! You guys thought that Mark was useless but he wasn't when he brought us food.
Larry: Nobody asked your opinion, Punk!
Johnny: Will you shut the hell up, Larry?!
Lilly: The only reason you're here is because you had food. Enough for ALL of us, but that food is almost gone, we've got maybe a week's worth left, and I don't suppose you guys are carrying any groceries, are you?!
Ben: Ummm, no.
Mark: Fine, you guys fight it out, then. Welcome to the family, kid.
Mark walks away.
Clementine: Come over here and see what I drew.
Ben: What? No, I…
Petey appears at Ben's left side
Clementine: Just come on, okay?
Petey: Clem's right, Let's calm down and see what Clem drew.
Clementine and Petey drags Ben away.
Kenny: You know, you like to think you are the leader of this little group, but we can make our own goddamn decisions! This isn't your own personal dictatorship!
Carley: Oh come on. You're being dramatic!
Kenny and Lilly glare at Carley.
Carley: Everything turns into a power struggle between you two. I'm not gonna be a part of that.
Lola: I agree with Carley, I'm tired of you two fighting all the time like a wild animals.
Carley, Lola, and Constantinos walk away.
Lilly: Hey, I didn't ask to lead this group! Everyone was happy to have me distributing the food there was enough to go around, but now it's running out. Suddenly, I'm a goddamn nazi!
Lee: It doesn't matter who's in charge! Those people are here now. I guess we just have to decide what happen next.
Jimmy: I agree with Lee. It doesn't matter who's charge! Just as long it's fair!
Kenny: No You two, it does matter! ONE person can't be in charge of EVERYTHING! You two know, it might feel safe for you guys to sit on the fence, but sooner or later you both gonna have to decide whose side you guys on.
Johnny: You know what? Kenny's right. Yeah you're in charge of the food and all, but you can't decide who lives and who dies.
Kenny smiles at Johnny
Lilly: Really?
Kenny: You weren't there. Lee, Jimmy, you both can made a choice. End of story.
Kenny and Johnny walks away.
Larry: I don't see any of you stepping up to make the hard decisions! My girl's got more balls than all of you combined!
Jimmy: Well at least your daughter can show some balls more than you!
Larry: Why you!
Lilly: Dad, please. Why don't you help Mark and Johnny with the wall?
Larry glaring at Lee and Jimmy and begin to walks away and bummed Doug and Bucky on purpose.
Lilly: You two think this is easy for me? Everyone's starting to hate me because I'M the one that rations the food. But NOBODY else wants to!
Lilly goes and picks up the rations.
Lilly: You know what? I'm not doing it tonight. You both do it. There's today's food rations, but there's not enough everyone! Good luck, you two.
Lilly gives Lee four rations while she give Jimmy five rations and she walks away. Everybody looks at both Jimmy and Lee and then they turn their backs. They only have nine food items for seventeen hungry people.
Jimmy: Oh man, this sucks.
Lee: I know.
Jimmy: We're only have nine rations for everyone.
Lee: I know, Jimmy. I know.
Lee and Jimmy walks over to Katjaa.
Lee: Is he going to be okay?
Katjaa: I don't know. Can you give me a hand real quick?
Lee: Sure. What do you need?
Katjaa: Just apply some pressure here while I try to close this up.
Lee help Katjaa apply a pressure to the man.
Katjaa: You know, I thought I was starting to get used to this. Sewing up people's injuries...
Jimmy: Well, you really need to for rescue this man's life, Katjaa.
Katjaa: Thanks, Jimmy. But, I mean, cuts and bruises are one thing, but Lee, Jimmy, this man has no leg!
Lee: I did the right thing.
Katjaa: Yeah... I know ya did. The right thing is just scary sometimes I guess...
Jimmy: Well but in my own opinion, it's what your husband wanted.
Katjaa: Figures, Jimmy. I love that man to death, but I swear sometimes he's dumber than a bag of hammers. Well, you've done all you can, Lee. Thanks for the help. You both go ahead and check on the others. I need a little space here anyway.
Jimmy: Let's give this food to the others. I think they're hungry.
Lee: Uh huh
Jimmy walks over to Ben.
Jimmy: Hey.
Ben: Hey, Is my friend gonna make it?
Jimmy: I don't know, but Katjaa will do her best. I promise
Ben: I can't believe your friend chopped off his leg.
Jimmy: There was no other way. So who are you people? Our group's gonna want to know.
Ben: I'm Ben. Ben Paul. The man you saved is , the band director at my school. We all came down from Stone Mountain for the playoffs when... when everything happened.
Jimmy: Yeah. How you holding up?
Ben: Uh, well, I, uh... I keep wondering if I could have done something to help, you know? Some kind of... I don't know. Something.
Jimmy: I'm sure you did all you could.
Ben: Yeah, maybe.
Jimmy: Relax, we'll get your teacher back to normal in no time.
Ben: I sure hope so.
Jimmy looks at Johnny who build the fence, miles away from Mark and Larry and looks angry and talks to himself.
Jimmy: Hey Johnny.
Johnny: That stupid, loud-mouthed Lilly! Telling us what to do all the time! Her and her stupid dad! One day, I'm gonna shove this hammer right in her dad's!
Johnny throws the hammer right next to Constantinos.
Constantinos: Hey, watch were you throw that thing!
Johnny: What do you expect me to do, kid?!
Constantinos: Well tried to throw that thing at somewhere else, Greaseballs!
Johnny: Whatever!
Jimmy: What's wrong?
Johnny: It's Lilly and Larry. They are bossing us like hell. Yesterday, me and this dork (point at Constantinos) were in the forest, hunting and we found a deer. I was about to shoot it but a stupid walker showed up and eat the deer. Larry was angry and he yelled at me. I told him to cool it off but he punched me in the stomach, really hard it's like I been hit by a car.
Jimmy: That's harsh.
Johnny: Yeah it is. I hope Kenny will manage to get the RV working so then I will get away from Lilly and Larry for good.
Jimmy: Hey, maybe you should tell them to stop being bossy and that's it.
Johnny: And get another punch in the stomach from Larry? Hell no.
Jimmy: Anyway, Lilly wants me and Lee to handout the rations.
Johnny: Well I bet it's sucks.
Jimmy: Yeah. Here have some.
Jimmy gives Johnny an orange but…
Johnny: Thanks but you should give it to Lola. She looks like she's about to passed out.
…but Johnny declined.
Jimmy: Are you sure, Johnny? You're going to passed out if you didn't eat anything.
Johnny: I'm a man, Jimmy. I can handle this hunger strike. But please, give this food to Lola…. for me.
Jimmy: Okay.
Jimmy walks over to Lola who sitting on the chair.
Jimmy: Hey Lola.
Lola: Hey James, please don't tell Johnny and you talking about me.
Jimmy: Yeah, he wants me to give you this
Jimmy gives Lola an orange
Jimmy: Johnny want you to eat something because he noticed you're about to passed out.
Lola: Thanks, Jimmy but Johnny need to stop being worried about me
Jimmy: Well that's his job to be a boyfriend.
Lola: Figures. I love him to death but to be honest, he can't think twice.
Jimmy walks to Constantinos next and noticed a meds on Const's hand
Jimmy: Hey Constantinos.
Constantinos: Oh hey Jimmy.
Jimmy: What's that you got there?
Constantinos: Oh… It's just an antidepressant pills. I really need it because I got a depressive disorders. I taken antidepressant tablets pretty regularly.
Jimmy: Yeah but is it ok… because you keep that pills for yourself but not Lilly.
Constantinos: Nah, Lilly think antidepressant pills are useless for this outbreak. But she wants a different meds like antibiotics, nitroglycerin pills and more.
Jimmy: Yeah…. Want some food?
Jimmy gives Constantinos an energy bar.
Constantinos: Thank you
Jimmy walks over to Bucky and Doug who are working on their defence system.
Jimmy: Hey guys
Bucky and Doug jumps back when they hears Jimmy called them and hits their head against the defence system.
Doug and Bucky: Ouch!
Jimmy: Woah, sorry.
Doug and Bucky get up and turns to Jimmy
Bucky: What's up, Jimmy?
Jimmy: What are you guys working on?
Doug: Me and Bucky were worked up a little "warning system" for outside.
Jimmy: How does it work?
Doug: I set up triplines at four locations, and each one triggers one of these four bells. So-
Bucky: So when a stranger will show up, the bells will ring to alert us.
Jimmy: That's how they work, smart.
Doug and Bucky nodded.
Jimmy: Think Katjaa can save that guy?
Bucky: I wish I knew if I'm a Doctor. Too bad Beatrice wasn't here.
Bucky looked down as he sad. Jimmy noticed Bucky changed his emotion.
Jimmy: What's wrong?
Bucky: I miss my family and my friends. I don't know what happened to them after I left. Do you think they gonna be fine?
Jimmy: I'm not sure but I hope they're fine.
Doug: Just relax, Bucky. I know they gonna be fine. You told me about Earnest and your friends are smart.
Bucky: Yeah
Jimmy: So when you guys going to be finished with this defence system?
Bucky: Today, of course
Jimmy: Really?
Bucky: Yes. Just wait until the strangers show up
Jimmy: Simple enough. By the way, Do you guys want any food?
Bucky: Well, I'm a bit hungry so…
Jimmy: Here, Bucky.
Jimmy gives Bucky a Granola bar.
Bucky: Thanks, Jimmy.
Jimmy shows Doug a cream crackers.
Doug: Actually, why don't you keep my share for yourself.
Jimmy: You sure? You look like you're going to pass out.
Doug: I'm fine, really. Since you and Lee saved me back at the drugstore... I owe you a lot more than a half a day's rations.
Jimmy: Ok. By the way, did you guys fix Clementine's walkie-talkie yet?
Bucky: Yes, but we need one batteries in order to get the walkie-talkie working.
Jimmy: When are we going to find batteries?
Doug: I don't know where we can find them exactly.
Jimmy: Yeah but I'm sure we'll find the batteries if we had a chances
Bucky: I guess so.
Jimmy: So Doug, how are things with Carley?
Doug: Umm…Great. Me and Carley are now a couple.
Bucky: Good for you, man. I wish I could do the same to Beatrice.
Doug: Well maybe you will one day.
Jimmy: I don't know, Doug. She's always friend zoned him because she had a crush on me.
Doug: I know because you're a bad boy like Bucky told me.
Jimmy: She likes me but I'm with Zoe right now.
Doug: Who's Zoe?
Jimmy: My badass girlfriend
Doug: Zoe… Sounds like a tough girl to me.
Jimmy: Yeah. She's also can break a things to half, you know.
Doug: Yeah
Jimmy: Catch you later guys.
Bucky: Bye Jimmy
Jimmy walks over to Petey who watched Duck and Clementine drawing.
Clementine: Guess what it is?
Ben: I don't know… a dog?
Clementine: Nope.
Duck: Oh I know! It's a goat, right?
Clementine: No!
Petey: Umm… it's a tiger, isn't it?
Clementine: *sigh* noo….
Jimmy: Hey Petey
Petey: Hey, Jimmy. About that, Lilly and Kenny really turn against each other when it comes to be a leader.
Jimmy: Yeah, Lilly only mad because we don't have enough food and Kenny's too emotional.
Petey: Yeah… That's a pretty bad mixed... Do you think Katjaa can save that guy? I mean that guy lose his leg. That's totally screwed up, you know.
Jimmy: I'm not sure but Katjaa will tried her best to save that guy.
Petey: I'm sure hope so…
Jimmy: Want some food?
Jimmy gives Petey a cream crackers.
Petey: Thanks, Jimmy. But what about you, you need a food.
Jimmy: Well just wait until I'll decide who gets the food.
Petey: Yeah but I hope you eat something. You know I'm not gonna let my good friend starve to death.
Jimmy sees that he has one ration left: an energy bar. He doesn't know if he should keep this for himself. Jimmy saw Lee walks over to Clementine and Duck.
Lee: Hey Clem, here.
Lee gives Clementine half a apple.
Clementine: I love apples! Thank you. Are there more?
Lee: No. That was the last one.
Clementine: Oh…um…
Lee: Enjoy it. You deserve it.
Clementine: If you have any food, Duck is hungry too.
Duck: Yeah, When are we gonna get some food?
Lee: Ok Duck, here.
Lee gives him a beef jerky.
Duck: Yeah! Oh man, I was so hungry!
Jimmy proud of Lee for taking care of them and he begin to think he should give a last ration to Kenny.
Jimmy: Hey, Kenny
Kenny: Whats up, Jimmy
Jimmy: Word's gettin' out that you wanna leave the motor inn.
Kenny: That ain't no secret, Jimmy. It's probably our best bet.
Jimmy look down as Kenny get up from his seat
Kenny: Look, you and Lee been good to me and my family. You saved Duck from those monsters, and Lee stood up to Larry at the drugstore. I won't forget that. You, Lee, Petey and Clem are welcome to come with us.
Jimmy: The coast does sound like a good idea. Maybe that is the best thing.
Kenny: I know that it is. I'm taking my family.
Kenny sit down on the couch
Jimmy: Hey about the guy in the bear trap…
Kenny: I know and I can't believe Lee cut off his leg. I don't know if I coulda done it.
Jimmy: Same to me. Lee didn't have a choice. It was that or the walkers. Also Lilly has a point about these new people being extra mouths to feed.
Kenny: I know, but… maybe the problem isn't that there isn't any food, there just isn't any HERE! We've gotta think about moving on.
Jimmy: Uh huh
Jimmy take a last ration from his pocket
Jimmy: Want something to eat?
Jimmy give Kenny an energy bar
Jimmy: Here, Kenny, take this.
Kenny: How about my boy? He eat yet?
Jimmy: Don't worry. Lee gave him a food.
Kenny: Sure, then hand it over, I'm starved. Thanks.
Jimmy walk away and he saw Lee walks over to Larry and Mark who were build the fence
Larry: Will you keep the damned boards steady?!
Mark: I'm trying, I didn't realize I was getting this weak already.
Larry: What do you want? A hand out? Oh, I've got 60 cents in my pocket if you'll shut up and quit being such a pansy!
Lee: Hey Mark, you hungry?
Lee gives Mark a cheese and crackers.
Mark: Thanks.
Lee: Need help with the walls?
Larry: Nope.
Mark: Actually, we could use your axe. Mind if we take it?
Larry: Yeah, give us that thing for a bit.
Lee: Here Larry. Try not to make any noise.
Larry takes the axe from Lee.
Larry: Yeah, yeah, we're not stupid!
Mark: Come on, Larry. Cut Lee some slack. He knows you're just out to protect Lilly.. he told me so. Just like he's trying to protect Clementine.
Larry: He...! Ugh, I just need some food. Going this without a proper meal will make anybody cranky
Lee: Hey Larry.
Lee gives Larry cheese and crackers.
Lee: Lilly would want you to keep your strength up.
Larry: That girl needs to quit worrying about me so much.
Lee and Jimmy are done with the rations and they go to Lilly who is on the top of the RV.
Lilly: Not such an easy job, is it?
Jimmy: I guess so.
Lee: I don't envy you. I don't know how you have the strength to do this every day.
Lilly: I don't have a choice.
Kenny walks over to Lee and Jimmy
Kenny: Guys.
Lee: Kenny, I know I ran out of food but-
Kenny: Hey, it's fine Lee. Jimmy did gave me a food.
Lee look at Jimmy with confused and a bit surprise
Lee: He did?
Jimmy: Yeah I did.
Kenny: Yeah, Thanks for looking out for me and my family…
Jimmy: You're welcome.
Lee and Kenny smile at Jimmy
Kenny: I'm serious about that offer to come with us. You both have more than earned a ride on the RV with me.
Jimmy: Yeah.
Kenny: Still, some people aren't going to be happy with your choices.
Kenny walks away.
