The Walking Dead: Just Stay Alive

Season 3 Episode 5: This Means War Part 1

Jordan, George, Wes, Darnell, Monty, Alicia, Gianna, and Jason all sat around the dinner table in silence as Andrew's screams echoed throughout the house from the second floor. They had everyone they could spare working on stopping the bleeding and closing his wound. Stacy took the job of watching over Eddie and Miles.

Once they heard the screaming stop night had set over and the only sound filling the air was the chirping of crickets. Jordan rubbed his forehead and Wes cleared his throat. Before he could talk, Connor walked down the steps with a grin that made you want to punch him. Jordan gave him a side look as he walked by everyone at the table. He slapped Gianna's ass and continued walking. This caused everyone to stare at him except for Gianna who stared at the table.

"What the hell was that?" Jordan asked.

"What?" Connor asked with a smirk.

"You know exactly what. You've been acting like a huge douchebag and have no right." Jordan said.

"It's all in good fun." Connor said. Jordan quickly punched Connor across the face and grabbed his shirt. He pulled him to the door and opened it.

"This is all in good fun." Jordan said. He pushed Connor outside and stared at him.

"I helped this group man! You can't do this to me!" Connor yelled.

"If I catch you anywhere near this house I'll shoot you myself. Have fun out there." Jordan said as he slammed the door shut. Gianna rushed by him and up the stairs as everyone looked at Jordan.

"Now let's talk about the bikers." Wes said drawing the attention to him. Jordan walked back to the table as Wes begin to map out the woods and the information Nathan told them about the camp.

"We can have two groups flank. Or one stays back and draws them out while another goes into the woods to take out their leader. Once that man, Luke, is down it makes everything easier for us." Wes said.

"I'll lead them in." Jordan said.

"Monty, Alicia, and Jason you'll go with him." Wes said.

"I'm going too." George said. "He's my son. I'll have his back." George added. Wes nodded and placed his hands on the table.

"Everyone… this means war. We will not stop until these people are gone or dead." Wes said. The others nodded as the group dispersed and they all went off to their own separate parts of the house.

Jordan walked into his room which was pitch black and began to undress. He couldn't wait to be back in an actual bed where he could finally sleep and not have to think about any of the undead beings outside. He was down to just his boxers when he walked to his bed.

"Jordan…" he heard come from his bed. The sound of the voice startled him but he recognized exactly who it was.

"Gianna. I'm sorry about what happened down there. I just didn't like the way he ac-" Jordan said as he felt a finger press against his lips.

"It's okay. I wanted to thank you…" Gianna said. Jordan quickly felt lips press against his and a hand drag him to his bed.

The next morning, Selena and Nathan were outside watching Jason and George prep bags of ammo for the people heading out to the woods. Jordan walked outside holding a crossbow as Gianna exited right after him. Jordan walked over to Selena and nodded.

"Everything clear?" Jordan asked.

"Looks it." Selena said. "We shouldn't have to do this. There aren't a lot of people left in the world and killing who is left isn't right."

"It's the way it has to be." Jordan said. Selena shook her head as Nathan went back inside so he could get into a sniping position on the roof. Darnell was already up there waiting for him. Wes, Mary, and Steven had been holding AK-47's and patrolling the sides of the house making sure they wouldn't be ambushed. Jason, George, Monty, and Alicia were waiting for Jordan on the other end of the road.

"Keep them safe." Selena said.

"I will. Make sure you keep Nathan safe." Jordan said with a smirk. Nathan appeared on the roof giving Jordan a thumbs up. He got down on one knee and held a sniper in his hand as Darnell backed him up. Selena looked up at him and smiled.

"I wi-" Selena said. The sound of a gun going off and blood splattering all over his face caught Jordan off guard. He looked around to see where his group was attacked but realized it had been right in front of him. Selena had been shot right through the neck and had blood pouring out of her mouth. Jordan caught her body before it fell to the ground and he looked down at her as tears filled his eyes.

Nathan's face was filled with complete shock as he stared down at the dying girl who he could do nothing for. Everyone got into cover not knowing who would be next as Nathan lifted the rifle and scanned the forest. He continued looking until he landed on Connor holding a sniper of his own and hiding behind a knocked over tree.

"Son of a bitch." Nathan said. He fired his sniper at Connor and barely missed him. Connor retreated into the woods as Nathan waved at the ground group.

"Move people!" Jason shouted. The group ran into the forest as Jordan continued to look down at Selena. He could hear her making some sort of noise but he couldn't tell what. It soon turned into a growl as she grabbed his face and tried to pull him down but Jordan dropped her in time. He quickly pulled out a Glock and shot her in the head, putting her to rest.

"I'm sorry!" Jordan shouted out to Nathan. He shook his head as Jordan ran after the others into the woods.

Jordan's group ran through the woods, expecting bikers to be hidden all over waiting for them. Instead once they reached the biker camp they saw a few people still there acting as if nothing was happening. Jordan looked around and aimed his gun at one survivor. Once the gun clicked, the survivor turned around, revealing himself.

"Nick?" Jordan asked. Nick smiled at him as the rest of Jordan's group aimed their weapons at the other bikers.

"So you do remember me." Nick said.

"Listen. I don't know what he has told you people. But if you want to stay alive and safe, come with us. Otherwise I don't know what will happen to you." George shouted out to the others. One girl biker stepped forward, shocking the rest of them.

"I don't want to kill." the biker named Bailey said. Jordan nodded at her and looked back at Jason.

"Take her back to the house then get back here as quick as you can." Jordan said. Jason nodded and escorted Bailey away from the bikers as Nick took a step forward.

"This is our domain." Nick said. Jordan heard a gun click to the side of him and saw Luke standing there grinning.

"Boys and girls. Why don't you go and destroy that house of theirs." Luke said. The other bikers cheered and ran off as Luke continued to stare at Jordan.

Sneak Peek:

"You want to get a hit in Nick?" Luke asked. Nick's smile was gone as he watched his former group member be beat down by the two brutes.

"I'm alright just watching." Nick said.

"I insist. Take a hit at the man who abandoned you." Luke said. Nick looked at Jordan then back at Luke and a nervous smile formed on his face. He cracked his knuckles and walked up to Jordan.

"No hard feelings right?" Nick asked.
