"Hey you two," Alyssa said walking up to Kenny and Katjaa, "how are you doing?"

"We're okay" Katjaa said quickly, avoiding Kenny's eyes.

Kenny rolled his eyes and looked up at Alyssa, "Just having a little spat."

Katjaa glanced annoyed at him and then looked down at his pistol lying beside him, "We all carry guns now and, well, I don't like it."

"It's the way it's gotta be" Kenny said heatedly.

"I know, but I'm not getting used to it" Katjaa sighed "I'm sorry, how are you Alyssa?"

"Good, I just wanted to ask if you guys knew anything about this broken flashlight?"

Kenny sighed when he seen it, "Fuck, we don't got many of those."

"Yeah it's a problem," Alyssa said nodding "the glass and the bulb are all shattered."

"I saw some broken glass over by the ice machine, I meant to clean it up before the kids hurt themselves on it; I forgot though" Katjaa told her.

Alyssa nodded and walked over, she noticed what Katjaa said was true, on the ground was shattered glass and she frowned. This wasn't here yesterday.

Bending down, Alyssa carefully picked up a large shard of glass and held it against the flashlight, it fitted perfectly and she knew this is where it was broken. Standing up, she looked around frowning, what was here that could be so bad; someone didn't report a broken flashlight incase it got found out.

Glancing around the corner, Alyssa seen a large 'X' drawn on the wall, her frown deepened, Lilly was right, there was a traitor in the group. Reaching out, she rubbed the 'X' "Hmm, chalk" she said to herself quietly.

"Pink, hmmm."

Alyssa folded her arms and shook her head "Duck!"

"A clue!"

"Mabye."

Duck looked up at the wall and gave it a scrutinising look "What do you think it is?" he asked her.

"I don't think it's anything," Alyssa said, leading him away from the wall.

Duck looked up at her with raised eyebrows, "Mabye it's a sign!"

Alyssa stopped and thought hard about it; it could be a sign, that something was ready, the missing supplies. "It could be. It's pink chalk, which is weird."

Duck nodded "Okay, back to investigating!" and he ran off to search for more 'clues' but Alyssa felt uneasy, she didn't know what it was, but she couldn't help but feel something bad was going to happen.

Glancing down, her brain clicked when she seen Clementine's drawings on the ground .. with pink chalk. She looked up and seen her drawing more at the wooden board she was using as a table.

Mabye she knew who took the chalk?


Lee glanced down at Clementine, she knew the half truth about his past and today she was going to learn the whole truth. It didn't look like her parents were going to be coming back and he wanted to be honest with her if they were going to be in a group from now on.

"Clem, I need to talk to you for a second" he said kneeling down to her level.

"Okey dokey" she said, putting down her pencil and giving him her full attention.

Taking a deep breath, Lee met the young girl's eyes "Before I met you, and before the plague ... I killed somebody."

"Oh .." her face fell "so that's what ..."

"Yeah, that's it" Lee said nodding, knowing what she was going to say "it was a bad thing and there's no explaning it."

She frowned a little "Why are you telling me?" she asked slowly.

"Because I didn't want to keep it to myself anymore" he seen her look down, deep in thought "do you have any questions?" she shook her head and Lee sighed; obviously she was going to need time to digest this information. "You can go on back to your things."

He stood up and walked over to Kenny and Katjaa "Everything okay?"

"Kenny, you got a second?" Lee asked, as he stood in front of Kenny "I need to tell you something."

"Sure pal," Kenny nodded standing up, "what d'ya got?" Lee glanced up at Carley who nodded slightly at him and he walked over out of Katjaa's earshot and sighed.

"It's serious" he said to Kenny quietly.

Kenny shook his head "Oh no, what'd the she-devil do to you..."

"Shut up man," Lee rolled his eyes but grew serious "I killed someone. Different than Larry or the St. Johns. Different from everything. This was before the walkers."

Kenny frowned and Lee rubbed the back of his neck "I know, I didn't say anything when I met you because I was with the girl and, you know, I was worried ..." Lee explained quickly.

"I just smashed a guy's head in with a fifty pound block of salt. You saw me do that right?" Kenny said slowly.

Lee folded his arms "Yeah, I did."

"And you're talking about who we were? The fuck does that matter?" Kenny raised an eyebrow "It's everything this mess has got us doin' now, Lee. Shit," he stopped and looked him in the eye "look, is Duck safe around you?"

"Of course!"

"Then shut it," Kenny gave him a half smile "you don't owe anybody any kinda explanation."


"Hey, Clem, can I ask you something?" Alyssa said, crouching down next to the smaller girl.

She nodded without taking her eyes off of her drawing, "Sure, what is it?"

"You wouldn't have any pink chalk, now would you?" she asked carefully.

"No, it's gone somewhere" Clementine stopped and gave her an annoyed look "I woke up one day and it was missing" she smiled "do you want blue?"

"No, no, it's okay" Alyssa stood up straight and sighed, she wasn't getting answers instead she got more questions which was more infuriating.

"Psst, Alyssa!"

Alyssa looked up and seen Duck waving her over to the RV, Clementine raised an eyebrow "What's wrong with Duck?" she asked.

"I'm gonna go find out, catch you later kiddo" Alyssa smiled and got up to see what Duck wanted.

Duck waited till she was close before glancing around and going in his pocket, "I found something," he said.

"What is it?"

Duck went into his pocket and brought out Clementine's missing piece of chalk, "I found this piece of pink chalk and a scuff of it over by the gate."

"Really?" Alyssa frowned, what would it be doing over by the gate.

"Totally!" Duck nodded "I was combing the scene for clues and-"

"Yeah Duck, I got it," Alyssa said walking over to the gates, not wanting to hear his long version "good job, Robin."

He ran in front of her as she reached the gate and held up his hand, looking at her eagerly, rolling her eyes she gave him a high five and he beamed at her. Alyssa glanced down and saw the scuff that Duck had told her about and felt her heart beat a little faster, something was going on. She pushed against the gate and saw the scuff went even further. "Someone was over here too," she whispered to herself.

"See, I did good huh?" Duck said happily.

"Yeah Duck, you did amazingly good," Alyssa smiled "you'd make a good detective."


"Hey Ben."

Ben nodded down at him "What's up Lee?"

Lee sighed, this wasn't getting easier with each person he was telling. "I need to tell you something."

"Sure Lee," then Ben looked worried "is it about my watch? I'm trying to do a good job."

"You're doing fine," Lee assured him, "I'm a ... convicted murderer."

His eyes widened and he looked surprised, "Woah, seriously?"

Lee rolled his eyes "Why would I joke about that?" he asked.

"I dunno," Ben said quickly, then he shook his head "uh ... wow."

"You're a part of this group," Lee said firmly "and you should know."

Ben looked thoughtful "I've never met a murderer before. Well, I hadn't I mean."

Lee sighed "I know what you meant."

Ben smiled down at him "Thanks for trusting me man, I ... uh .. I..." he trailed off nervously, not sure what to say.

"Ben, relax" Lee rolled his eyes and noticed Katjaa standing up from the couch and head to her and Kenny's room "I'll talk to you later."

Lee walked over and managed to catch Katjaa just before she opened the door. "Can I talk to you about something?"

She nodded and gave him a worried look "Sure. Is everything okay?"

"I was on my way to prison three months ago," Lee said slowly "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."

Katjaa's eyes widened "My goodness, for what? How much trouble can a teacher get into?"

"Well, plenty," Lee said folding his arms "but it had nothing to do with that ... it was for murder."

"Why?"

"He and my wife were ... uh-"

"That's enough," Katjaa interrupted him, she looked down and swallowed hard "tell me what happened when you were locked in the fridge. At the dairy."

Lee hesitated but he told her, "I held Lilly back and Kenny ... made sure Larry didn't get up."

Katjaa looked stunned at the news "What did he do?" she asked quietly.

"He smashed his head in," Lee said sadly.

Katjaa inhaled sharply and covered her mouth, she looked close to tears.

"Katjaa..." Lee said softly

She let out a shaky breath "Everything keeps changing." Saying nothing else, she went into her room and quietly closed the door behind her. Lee felt terrible for telling her and wished he kept his mouth shut, but they couldn't have secrets in the group, especially now.

He looked up and noticed Alyssa and Duck over by the gates and he walked over quickly when he seen Alyssa start to edge out beyond the gate. "Hey, where you goin'?" he asked catching up with her.

"Duck, go play, it's too dangerous out here for you" Alyssa said, sliding past the gate.

"It's too dangerous for you too!" Lee pointed out, as Duck walked past him, "and you've already went out on your own, you're not doing it again."

Alyssa bit her lip, the last time she had went back to the dairy to find Mark, just the thought of him dragging himself about eating people made her feel sick but he wasn't there. A reanimated Brenda and Andy were and Alyssa had gladly finished them with the axe just as Lee and Kenny had appeared to bring her back.

Just knowing he was still out there as one of them, made her heart ache and she shook her head. "Lilly isn't paranoid," Alyssa stopped and gave Lee a serious look, "she found a broken flashlight in the garbage and I found a sign on the side of the motor-inn, an 'x' in pink chalk. Duck found a scuff of it here so it means whoever has been stealing supplies has been out there."

"Well, you're not going out alone," Lee started to shimmy alongside the gate and Alyssa smiled at him weakly "I'll watch your back."

"So what were you and Carley talking about?" Alyssa asked him as they walked up the pavement together, "you looked cosy."

Lee ignored her tease and scanned the treeline, "She wanted me to tell people about my past."

"About you being a murderer?" Alyssa raised an eyebrow "it's been months since we all met, why should it matter now?"

"Larry knew, which means Lilly probably does and we're not friendly at the moment" Lee sighed "at least if everyone knows, she can't use it to turn the group against me."

"As if that would happen," Alyssa said softly "you're the heart of this group, there would BE no group without you. If it came down to it, I would choose you in a heartbeat over her."

Lee smiled at her "That's good to know."

"So who did you tell?"

"Everyone apart from Lilly ... including Clementine."

Alyssa was quiet "How did she take it?" she asked slowly.

"Well, I don't think she's scared of me or hates me for it," Lee said sadly "but I hated telling her it, made me feel like the bad guy."

"She doesn't hate you," Alyssa shook her head "she thinks the world of you, we both do."

Lee was about to answer, when he spotted a small bag in the grate. Frowning, he bent down and pulled off the grating and picked up the bag. "What's that?" Alyssa asked, standing beside him.

Opening the bag, Lee saw it was full of supplies that Lilly had said were missing. "Son of a bitch..." he muttered.

Alyssa sighed "Who would be doing this?" she asked him, looking a little worried.

Lee shook his head "I don't know, but we're gonna find out."
