A while longer went on by and the group was already in Savannah. There were busted cars in the streets. The streets were kinda messy. It was so quiet you could hear a pen drop on a pillow. There was no one in sight. The group was led by Kenny. They were following Kenny because apparently he knew where the riverfront was. So he knew there had to be boats there. Naje had Omid's arm around his neck and was holding him by the wrist with his other arm on his side. Omid's leg was still pretty battered. Clementine was walking beside Lee. Lee had her walkie talkie clipped to his pants pocket.
"Can't I just hold it?" She asked him. He just looked down at her then looked forward again without saying a word.
"Just for a little while? We're getting really close to where my mom and dad are. Maybe I can..." Clem said.
"Not now, Clementine. Maybe later, okay?" Lee replied.
"Okay.." Clementine said softly.
"How's Omid?" Lee asked Christa.
"His leg's pretty bad." She responded.
"I'm fine." Omid assured her.
"You're not fine. You need to rest." Christa said to him. "He needs to rest." She directed to Lee.
"Kenny, how much farther?" Lee asked Kenny.
"Should be just a few more blocks ahead." Kenny answered.
"And there'll be boats there?" Christa asked curiously.
"Sure as hell better be." Lee said.
"I know that's right." Naje added.
"There has to be boats. Has to be." Kenny said with hope.
"It's going to be okay. Kenny knows what he's doing." Ben said.
A moment after the group heard a bell go off. It was a tower bell.
"What the hell...?" Ben said.
"Maybe this city's not so dead after all.." Christa said.
"Keep moving. No one's ringing those bells. It's automatic. On a timer." Kenny told them.
Lee looked at his wristwatch. "What kinda church bell goes off at twenty past the hour?" Lee asked. Lee then looked up and saw someone running across the rook of a building. "Someone's up there!" He blurted. Everyone else looked up.
"Where? I don't see anybody." Naje said.
"Hey! Hey you up there!" Lee shouted while waving his arms.
"Dammit Lee, keep quiet! You're gonna-" Christa said. She was interrupted by the sound of the walkie talkie.
"If I were you, Id get outta the streets. Now." Said the voice on the radio. Lee put the radio close to his mouth.
"I thought you said that thing didn't work." Christa said.
"Who the hell is this?" Lee said into the radio. No reply was given. "Hello? Hello?! I said answer me dammit!" Still, no reply was given. The group all stood in silence, looking around their shoulders. The only thing that was heard was the tower bells that were still going off.
"What the hell was that? Is someone trying to fuck with us?" Omid said.
"Sounded more like a warning." Said Ben.
Chucked turned his head and saw something. "Ask not for whom the bell tolls..." He said.
"What're you yammerin' on about?" Kenny said. Everyone then saw the same thing that Chuck saw and looked quite surprised.
"It tolls for thee..." Chuck finished.
Then there were walkers coming up ahead. They appear to have been attracted by the sound of the bell so they made their way to it. But since the walkers saw the group, they made their ways towards them instead. But the thing is, the bell had already stopped.
"Everybody, RUN!" Lee ordered.
He didn't have to tell them twice as everyone took off. Naje and Omid were shooting walkers while Naje was still helping him walk. Kenny shot a walker while he was on the run. Lee stopped then looked at Clementine. She stopped and looked up as him as well. Lee was thinking if it was the right time for her to put what he taught her into play. But he just looked forward and they both started to run again.
Chuck was using his shovel as a weapon to knock away the walkers. Kenny was running until he was tripped up by a grounded walker. Kenny fell and dropped his gun. The walker still had a hold of Kenny's ankle and Kenny was trying to grab his gun. He used a stop sign pole to give him better leverage.
Lee saw what was happening. "Kenny!" He shouted. Lee aimed his gun at the walker's head and shot it. Kenny then pulled his ankle free of the walker's grip.
"Little too close, don't ya think?" Kenny said.
"Ben!" Screamed Clementine. Ben and Clementine were surrounded by some walkers closing in on them.
"Ben! Help her!" Lee shouted to him. Ben looked at Clementine then looked around in panic as the walkers were getting a bit closer. He just looked down, closed his eyes tight, and ran off, leaving Clementine behind.
"Goddammit!" Lee yelled. Lee then began to the walkers that were close to Clementine. Naje then came to help Lee shoot them. But there was one walker getting too close. Clementine screamed in fear. Naje and Lee then came running to Clementine.
"Clementine!" Naje cried.
"Nooooo!" Lee cried.
Thankfully, Chuck came to the rescue by knocking the walker upside the head with his shovel, knocking it down. Chuck then stabbed the walker through the chest with it. When Lee and Naje came, they had a quick group hug with Clementine.
"Get her the hell out of here! I'll catch up with ya!" Chuck said. Clementine ran off with Naje. Lee looked at Chuck, not so sure. Chuck gave him a nod.
"Move your asses!" Kenny shouted. "River Street's right up ahead!"
"That's not the only thing up ahead..." Naje said. There were more walkers coming.
"Oh give me a fucking break!" Kenny cried.
"Wait, where the hell's Chuck?" Christa asked. Everyone looked back and saw him fighting off the walkers.
"Shit! He's in trouble, we gotta help him" Omid said. Omid and Naje started shooting some of the walkers close to Chuck. Meanwhile, Kenny looked around and saw a nearby gate close to them. The gate was a gate to a house.
"There's no time! We gotta go, now!" Kenny said.
"I'll be fine! Just go!" Chucked said. Naje and Omid stopped shooting their guns. The rest of the group made their ways to the gate.
"I'll get the door." Kenny said. He opened the door for everyone and Lee closed it when everyone got in. Omid tripped on the way in. Kenny and Ben went straight to the door to try to get it opened but the door was boarded up.
"You okay?" Lee asked Omid. Naje helped him sit up. Christa crouched down to check on him.
"Ugh.. Yeah." Omid said.
"You've opened up your wound! You're bleeding!" Christa pointed out. "Shit, that's gonna get infected. We've gotta get him inside, clean him up."
"Kenny, how that door coming?" Lee asked.
"I'm working on it, I'm working on it!" Kenny quickly answered.
"Well work faster, would ya?" Christa said. "It won't be long until those things out there figure out where we went. You know they can smell blood."
"Lady, I ain't the one that's bleeding!" Kenny said. Kenny and Christa gave an intense stare at each other.
"Let me see if I can find a way in." Lee said. Kenny went back to working on the door and Christa went back to checking on Omid. Naje got up and looked at Ben, who had his back turned. Naje marched his way up to Ben like a madman, forced Ben around and tightly grabbed him by his shirt. Naje forcefully pressed Ben against the windows, which was also boarded up.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't bury you into the damn ground!" Naje shouted.
"Look, I-I panicked. I didn't know what to do, they were closing in.. I was scared.." Ben said in fear.
"What a poor fucking excuse! You put Clementine in danger! Leaving her behind. What if something happened to her?! Something would've happened to you as well! Hell, something might happen to your ass right now!" Naje screamed as he put a tighter grip on Ben's shirt.
"Naje!" Lee shouted.
"What?!" Naje said without looking at Lee.
"Let him go. We have to find a way to get inside this house." Lee said. Naje was still holding Ben by the shirt.
"Hey, remember your motivational speeches." Lee reminded him.
"What do they have to do with anything?" Naje asked.
"Because maybe a little motivational will help us get inside this house." Lee said. Naje looked down and thought about it. Naje looked at Ben then slowly let go of his shirt. Naje then straightened it up.
"I don't dislike you Ben. But if anything like that EVER happens again with Clementine, you won't have to be scared of the walkers anymore. You'll be scared of me." Naje warned him.
"Okay.. Sorry." Ben said.
"And now Chuck's still out there doing something you were too scared to do. Who knows if he still alright." Naje said. Naje shook his head, took a breath and went back to check on Omid with Christa.
Now everyone was waiting around outside to see if Kenny and Lee could find them a way inside.
