The Walking Dead: Right or Wrong

Chapter 11: The Talk

Nick walked up the stairs, it was nearly six A.M.

"You said your girl needed some medicine? Here you go." Shel generously smiled, and handed a few painkillers to Nick.

"She's not my girl – but, thanks." Nick smiled, as he looked at the medicine that was in his hand.

"WHOA, WHOA! Who the hell are these people!?" Kenny exclaimed as five people walked in with Nick, Luke and Eddie. Kenny was holding the baby, while Rebecca, Mike, Clem, Jane, Sarah and Bonnie were still sleeping.

"Holy shit! You guys have a baby…" Becca smiled a bit. She hadn't seen a baby in over two years.

"We have ten people. At this fucking moment. Ten people. Now you bring – FIVE MORE PEOPLE!?" Kenny exclaimed. He then started whispering as Clem seemed to hear something. She then went back to sleep.

"Look, we can leave – we didn't know if was that much of a problem, alright!?" Vince said, backing up.

"Damn right!" Kenny retorted.

"Kenny, these people are here now. We have some food to spare…" Nick said.

"No, we do not! We got nothin', Nick." Kenny growled as he stepped closer to Nick. The baby started to cry.

"Yeah, we're out." Russell said as he walked back down the stairs.

"Russell, dude." Wyatt said as he tried to stop Russell from walking away.

"I know Sarita's death hit you hard, but you can't go on like this! Alright!?" Nick said. Kenny gave a stare that basically said, Don't go there. Nick decided he didn't want to fight Kenny like he did last time, so he backed off.

"Kenny, they're here now. If they want to stay, it's their choice. Me and Nick can go again in the morning." Luke said, crossing his arms.

"Luke, you ain't in charge, so you don't get to make calls." Kenny retorted.

"Oh my God, don't start that AGAIN. Jesus Christ, Kenny. Have some sympathy!" Luke argued.

"Enough!" Eddie interrupted. Everyone faced him. That was the first time he had ever stopped an argument before. He kind of felt proud of himself, but it wasn't that much to be proud of.

"Look, you can guys can stay if you want, or not. Everyone's fine with it, except Kenny." Luke said to the five newcomers.

"Fine. Nobody listens to me, anyway." Kenny scoffed as he walked off with the baby.

"Like I said, me and you can go back to look for food. Or now… if you want?" Luke asked Nick. Nick shrugged and nodded, the two of them then grabbed their equipment once again.

"Hey, uh… we'd like to join you two. If that's okay." Vince said, accompanied by Russell. Russell didn't even make eye contact with Luke and Nick. Eddie looked like he was going to catch up with Wyatt, and Shel and Becca would do their own thing.

About 30 minutes later..

The group of four had reached a small town, if they were lucky, there would be some supplies. "Hey, uh – why didn't Bonnie let us know she was planning on escaping with you guys?" Vince asked, after about ten minutes of silence.

"Maybe you should ask her that." Nick said, avoiding his question.

"Cause she didn't want us to come with. She's been waiting to get away from us." Russell made up an excuse.

"Whatever happened between you guys, that's your business." Luke wanted to stay out of it.

"Exactly why we aren't talkin' to ya." Russell retorted. Vince bumped him in the arm with his elbow to tell him to quit being rude.

"Alright, Vince - you look over that house right there, and Russell, that one - and me and Nick can look at this house right here." Luke took charge, pointing to the houses that Vince and Russell were assigned to. Russell rolled his eyes, and went off to do his duty.

"What's his problem?" Luke questioned.

"It's just how he is - I wouldn't take it too hard, he's just not very trusting." Vince answered, shrugging as he turned around to the house that Luke had assigned him too, he then went inside the house to investigate.

"Small town indeed. I mean, why the hell would anyone have three houses in one town? No stores, no nothing." Nick asked, it didn't make any sense. What if it was built after the apocalypse?

"Who knows. It looks like it was built out of wood. All of them do, actually." Luke said, investigating the structure of the small house.

"No kiddin'. Anyways, better get this squared away." Nick said, walking inside the house.

Back at the Observation Deck

"So, uh - you ever had the Talk?" Jane asked, awkwardly. Clem raised her eyebrow in confusion. What the hell was she talking about?

"The what?" Clementine asked. Jane scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. Usually, you'd get the talk by your own mother, or father. Jane remembered her mother giving her and her sister the talk.

"You know when two people like each other - and..." Jane began, moving her hands seeing if she would eventually catch on.

"They go on dates?" Clementine questioned.

"Well - yeah, but sometimes - Things get serious. Like... uh, how you saw me and Luke..." Jane raised her eyebrow, hoping she would see what she was trying to explain.

"What are you talking about?" Clementine asked.

"Damn. Uh, how old were you when this all started?" Jane asked, she couldn't keep track of the days, as far as she knew it was 2014.

"Eight." Clementine responded. Jane knew she was eleven. She must have been eight and a half, because she thought it had been at least two years since the beginning of the apocalypse.

"Well, that kind of explains it. Look, the first thing is when a man has a thing called a p-" Jane decided to explain everything but was cut off by Mike.

"Hey, guys. Morning. Who the fuck are those people!?" Mike said, totally confused on what had happened.

"I feel like I'm hungover, like I'm supposed to know who they are - cause.. nobody decided to TELL ME!" Mike paced.

"I had only met them an hour ago. Pretty much just a girl around Sarah's age, and her mom, Nick and Luke went out with two of them, and the big guy is friends with Eddie, apparently. I don't even know." Jane shrugged.

"They seem pretty nice. Except for that one girl, Becca." Clementine hissed when the name escaped her mouth. She didn't like that girl, she was the mean version of Sarah.

"Who said my name?" Rebecca stuttered, she was only half-awake.

"Where's Bonnie?" Jane asked. She was asleep earlier, but she had disappeared. Where was she?

"I think she was helping Kenny with something." Mike said, pointing his thumb back to Kenny and Bonnie walking into the forest, a seperate direction than Luke, Nick, Vince and Russell had went.

"I bet Kenny's pretty pissed, huh? He just isn't getting his way. We don't want to leave right away, wahhh. We don't need more people, wahhh." Jane rolled her eyes.

"I thought you also didn't like a whole group?" Mike questioned. Jane shrugged.

"I guess I've changed." Jane chuckled. Clem got up.

"So - uh, you haven't had the talk yet, huh?" Mike asked, referencing to Jane and Clem's conversation before, he must have heard it.

"Ugh. Not this again." Clem frowned. Jane and Mike couldn't help but chuckle.

"You heard that, huh?" Jane asked. Mike nodded, crossing his arms.

"Okay. I'm ready. Let's move." Rebecca muttered, still half-awake. She got up from the floor, walking towards Jane, Mike and Clem.

"Rebecca, whoa..." Mike said, as she started to drift in and out of consciousness.

"Rebecca!" Mike exclaimed as Rebecca fell over, and hit her head on the wall. She then fell over onto the ground, unconscious.

"Oh shit!" Jane reacted.
