Short and crappy chapter ahead! You have been warned.
Seriously, This is a crappy chapter. At least I think so. But don't give up on me and this story just yet!
Anyways, Thanks for all the support so far! Oh you guys make me feel so inspired.
Hope you enjoy reading!
The two returns to the group as they are discussing how they can escape. "Cause we all know what happened this mornin'! I don't know what that son of a bitch is gonna do next!" Kenny argues.
"So you wanna ring the dinner bell for a herd of walkers to show up? How is that better?" Mike criticizes.
"Cause this place will be fuckin' chaos when that thing hits. No one'll be payin' attention to us. And that's when we go. That's our opening. We just gotta figure out a way to draw 'em to us."
"Your friend here wants to get us killed by lurkers before Bill can do it." Rebecca sarcastically and calmly explains to the two.
"What is it with you?" Kenny glares at her.
"That's what it sounds like to me."
"What about Luke?" Duck asks. "Yeah, He has a plan. He's outside, He wants a radio to help keep an eye on the guards." Clementine added.
"Thank you! That's the plan I vote for." Rebecca smiles.
"You knew about Luke?"
"He flagged us down when Troy wasn't lookin'. Told us his plan...Mentioned he'd talked to you." Mike looks at them.
"If Luke can tell us what's going on with the guards, We can use that to pick a good time to escape." Rebecca suggests.
"That seems reasonable." Sarita agrees.
"Who knows when that'll be?" Kenny argued. "There was a girl back in Crawford that used church bells to send walkers all over the city. We just need something really loud."
"The P.A. system Carver is always using is quiet loud." Sarita looks at Kenny.
"There's some speakers outside the building...Pointed towards the parking lot." Mike suggests.
"I saw the controls, They're in Carver's office."
"She's right.." Rebecca nods. "It's all controlled in Bill's office. There's a switch in there that'll turn them on."
"How do you know that?" Mike asks.
"I used to make a lot of the announcements back in the day. I had it flipped on once. Luckily there wasn't much around at the time to hear it. It was pretty loud though."
"That's perfect! We just gotta get into his office! Why didn't you say somethin' sooner?"
"Cause it doesn't change anything. This isn't a discussion about how to do it, it's a discussion whether it's stupid. And it's still stupid. The sensible thing to do is get Luke the radio and wait for an opening." Rebecca disagrees.
"We should get the radio to Luke, It doesn't hurt to have more information."
"I agree."
"Fine! Fine. We can do that, But the herd is still what's gonna get us outta here. Maybe Luke can tell us where it's hittin' from. Okay, So we get that turd a radio. He keeps us posted on the herd's movement. We fire up the PA thing and bring the walkers to roll over this place."
"And then what?"
"Get some guns and shoot our way out. I don't know! Whatever we can, We improvise."
"Then that's not a plan, You don't plan to improvise." Mike argues.
"That kinda sounds stupid, Dad." Duck nods.
"I figured out what your problem is...You don't think this stuff through. If the end of the plan is just to stroll through a herd of walkers, Then you should know from the jump that there's no way it's ever going to work."
"Actually..." The weird woman walks to the group. "I do it all the time."
"First words I ever hear you say, And it's just some crazy, Stupid shit."
"Hush, What do you mean exactly?" Sarita shushes Mike and Looks at Jane.
"When you cover yourself in their smell, Rub the walker guts all over you...They can't tell you from one of them."
"Now I don't know who's crazier."
"Trust me, I've walked through herds before. It works. You just have to keep calm and make sure you're good and covered."
"That's gross." Duck cringes.
"Lee figured that out." Clementine looks at them.
"What?" Kenny asks.
"It's how we got out in the Marsh house. Lee covered us and we walked through." Clementine explains.
"Really? Holy shit. Good one, Lee." Kenny smiles and stands up. "Alright. What are we waitin' for? Let's get that stupid radio!"
After Clementine goes to fetch the radio, Troy opens the door. "Alright chickens, Time for bed in 10 minutes." He announces as he looks at them one by one. "Wait...Where's the girl?"
All of them sweat drops, "Uh...She's sleeping, She's really tired." Duck replies.
Troy was suspicious at first but shrugged it off. "Alright. The rest of you rest up in ten minutes."
Again, Don't give up on this story just yet! I swear I'll the next chapter better!
And unfortunately. There are no references this time.
Thanks for reading!
