Savannah - House - 1:32 PM

The group walked back on the sidewalk to the house, and was about to enter through the shed until they saw it open, with the boat gone and shocking everybody.

"W-What the fuck?" Ethan asked in shock.

"Come on... Just come the FUCK on!" Kenny said in anger.

"Well, we're not coming back here after we find Clem." Christa said while Ethan looked at her.

"Who could have done this? Out of anybody?" He asked.

"Maybe it was Vernon. He's the only one who knew about the plan and the boat." Lee said as Omid noticed a note, picked it up and read it.

"Guys?" He asked. "Lee's right, it was Vernon."

"What? That son of a bitch!" Ethan said in anger, feeling the sting of betrayal.

"No fucking way!" Kenny said in anger. "THE INVALINDS?"

"Their actions contradict your characterization, but yeah, the invalinds." Omid said.

"He's right. They're not invalinds." Christa said. "They're just people. People who have been dealing with shitty situations even longer than we have. No wonder they got the jump on us."

"I don't give a fuck if their 'Make-A-Wish' was a fucking boat ride, when I find 'em..." Kenny said in anger.

"I can't believe they did this to us." Lee said with Ethan nodding.

"After all we did for them..." Ethan said silently.

"It's sick! They use your goddamn SYMPATHY for sick folks, and then stab you right in the back!" Kenny said in anger.

"They did what anyone else would have done." Christa said. "They've been living like ghosts forever and they were fed up. That's it." Omid read the note more.

"He says he feels bad. For leaving us, and Clementine behind." He said in which Ethan shook his head.

"They screwed us over. As if that already hasn't happened enough." He said as they stayed silent, until Christa looked around.

"Omid, can you go over the fence and let us into the backyard? We shouldn't be out in the open like this." She said with Omid nodding and walking away.

"This isn't happening..." Kenny said. "Everything is so fucked."

"Clem is still out there though. We need to focus on that." Ethan said as they looked at him.

"So we get Clementine, and then what kid?!" Kenny asked.

"Then we get the fuck out of cities. I'm DONE with cities. We go into the countryside and make a go with it." Christa said with Ben nodding.

"That seems like a good idea to me." He said with Kenny looking at him in hatred.

"Nobody asked you." He said, in which both Ethan and Ben looked at him.

"You just did." Ben said.

"Don't get fucking smart with me Ben." Kenny said in anger.

"Kenny, leave him alone. He didn't mean any harm." Ethan said in which Kenny looked at him.

"Everyone keep it together! Nothing has changed has it?" Lee asked.

"Nothing has changed?!" Kenny asked in anger.

"I mean immediately. We stay the course. Don't turn on each other." Lee said until Omid opened the other side of the shed.

"We can do this in the yard." Christa said as Ethan, Ben, and Kenny walked to the yard.

"Ben, I SWEAR to god." Kenny said in anger. "Where the hell do you get off?!"

"I'm just saying we should all chill! Not just you!" Ben said while Christa and Lee caught up to them.

"CHILL?" Kenny asked. "Lee's bitten, and god knows how long HE has left, Clementine is, who the fuck knows, and we're robbed of the only thing we have!"

"So?" Ben asked.

"So... Lee should have left your ass in Crawford. We've got enough problems." Kenny said.

"Kenny! Enough!" Ethan said while Ben's anger rose.

"FUCK YOU KENNY!" Ben yelled, in which shocked everyone, thinking if that just happened. "I...I am so, so, SO sorry about Katjaa and Duck, I am! And I know I fucked up, but STOP pushing me around, and stop wishing I was dead!" Kenny was about to open his mouth but stopped. "NO! You know how they died... You said GOODBYE. I never got to see my family, my parents, my little sister..." He began to cry a bit. "You get that? Your family's gone, but at least you had them to LOSE." He looked down a bit. "I never made it home. They could be dead, alive, or walkers or WORSE and I DON'T KNOW! SO GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!"

"Ben..." Ethan said in shock, and then looked down while Kenny looked at Ben, ashamed for how he was treating him.

"Aw Ben, I'm-" Kenny said until everybody heard a large herd of walkers going toward them.

"Oh shit! Here they come!" Christa yelled.

"In the house!" Omid yelled as they all quickly ran inside the house.

"They shouldn't be able to get into the backyard, right?" Kenny asked, until he question was answered by hearing wood going down. "Guess not."

"We can still do this! I'm sure of it!" Ethan said with Lee nodding, and then looking at Christa.

"Christa, search the house for weapons!" Lee said with her nodding.

"On it." She said as she ran off.

"Kenny, move anything you can up against the doors and windows!" Lee said with him nodding.

"That's what I was thinking!" Kenny said as he ran off as well.

"Ben, help Christa!" Lee said with Ben nodding.

"On it." Ben said as he ran to find Christa.

"Ethan, help Kenny!" Lee said with Ethan nodding.

"Got it!" Ethan said as he ran toward Kenny, but stopped.

"EVERYONE! FRONT DOORS! HELP OMID!" Lee yelled as Ethan saw the door, staring at it in shock until they all ran to it and tried to close it, but walker hands prevented it.

"Shit! This isn't good!" Ethan yelled while another walker tried to open the door, but he kept slamming the door onto it's hand.

"LEE! HELP!" Kenny yelled until Lee came to them, with a butcher knife in hand and cut through them quickly, helping them close the door.

"Now what?" Omid asked while they all looked at each other.

"Get ready to fight." Lee said.

"This place seems sturdy to me. I think we're fine." Christa said until a walker hand went through the windows and back door.

"YEAH! STURDY MY ASS!" Ethan yelled.

"Get upstairs!" Lee yelled as everybody started going up, with Lee following behind while Kenny tried pushing desk.

"GUYS! I COULD USE SOME HELP!" Kenny yelled as Ethan noticed and started pushing it, with Lee joining in while the others went to the end of the hallway.

"Hang up!" Ethan yelled as both he and Lee followed them.

"What do we do now?" Ben asked as Kenny finished pushing it.

"This'll slow them down! We get to the end of the hallway and take a fucking stand!" Kenny said as he climbed over the desk and joined them, with them taking out their pistols.

"We can't let ourselves get trapped." Lee said.

"Just get as many as you can. We see an opening, we go for it." Kenny said while they all started loading the guns. "How many do you all have?"

"Three." Christa said.

"Five." Lee said.

"Four." Omid said.

"Two." Ben said.

"One." Ethan said as he shook his head. "I'm fucked."

"Don't worry about it. Just kill as many as you can." Kenny said. "Ya'll know where to aim." They all waited silently, ready for any of the walkers until one came up and Lee shot it. Once he did, more walkers started going up and started shooting as much as they could until they ran out.

"I'm out!" Christa yelled. "What do we do now?" Ethan looked around until he saw a passage on the roof.

"UP!" Ethan yelled as Lee opened it, revealing a ladder.

"GO!" Lee yelled as everybody started to climb up, with Ben closing it behind them, and into the attic.

"Wow... THAT... Was close." Ethan said and sat down.

"Well that could have gone better." Kenny said.

"Everyone ok?" Christa asked in which Kenny looked at her.

"Let's just find a way out of her and get moving." Omid said while he looked around.

"He's right. We gotta keep moving." Kenny said. "Is there a way we can get to Clem and catch those goddamn thieves?"

"I don't know... Maybe." Lee said until Omid shook his head and walked back to them.

"Well we're not going through this window. No latches, no roof access, and thirty feet straight down." He said.

"So.. any ideas then?" Ethan asked in which Omid found a bust head and crouched down to it.

"Maybe this guy can help. He's got a resourceful air about him." He said while staring at it. "Dixon Kent the III, industrial-"

"OMID." Christa said in anger, to which he looked back.

"Christa. I'm just trying to lighten the fucking tone." Omid said.

"We need SOLUTIONS! Not stupid jokes!" Christa said, to which they all looked at Ethan wondered a bit more. "I'm sorry."

"There's gotta be another way." Lee said while he rubbed the sweat off his forehead.

"Check for a vent or anything." Christa said.

"Or wait until it clears up at least or something.." Ethan said while he still looked at Christa until Lee started coughing, catching their attention. "You ok Lee?"

"I'm ok... Don't-" Lee said until he was interrupted.

"Lee? Lee?" Clementine asked while everybody looked at the walkie-talkie. "I'm ok. I'm where my parent's- Oh no." She stopped talking and was cut off, leaving everybody in shock.

"What did that mean?" Christa asked.

"She's at the hotel where here parents were staying. He hasn't moved her." Lee said as he still looked at it.

"Yet." Kenny said. "We need to start thinking about more than just Clementine when it comes to our... Urgency. So... how do we get out of here?"

"That's the whole point. We don't know." Omid said while Kenny started pacing.

"Ok, now your life, hell ALL of our lives, DEPENDS on it. How do you get out of here?" Kenny asked.

"I told you. Everyone keep looking for a way out! We're trapped in here." Lee said, with Kenny looking at his stub.

"I think we need to have an... 'Adult' conversation about what happens in Lee takes another spill." Kenny said while he continued pacing. "We could be looking at a Larry situation here."

"So we deal with this by slamming a salt lick against his head like we did with Larry. Is THAT what you're saying?" Ethan asked, shocking Christa and Omid.

"Who's Larry?!" Christa asked in worry.

"Doesn't matter." Kenny said

"I think it'd be best if we worry about Clem right now." Lee said, with Kenny looking at him.

We're not any good to her if you attacked us." He said.

"That isn't going to happen." Lee said while Kenny paced more.

"Lee, I ain't advocating anything here, but how is this not a thing?" Kenny asked. "We're also so worked up about Clem we're forgetting what the fuck happened to you! You're gonna listen to me! We will get Clementine back, with or without you! Because I haven't given up on everything to die because we were stupid."

"You're not touching me. Do you understand that? You know what to do if I turned, and that's enough. Do you hear me?" Lee asked, to which Kenny's anger rose.

"You might become one of them! How can you be fucking calm about it?!" He asked until he grabbed the bust head and threw it against the wall behind him, causing it to crack and then looking at it.

"...Dude you just ruined that dude's face." Omid said, with Ethan looking at him with a smile.

"Ok... Now that was kinda funny." He said while Kenny looked at it, grabbed a piece, and took it out.

"It's corroded to hell." Kenny said, with them smiling.

"This could lead to the one next door. Maybe we can escape from there." Ethan said while Kenny grabbed a coat hanger and hit it against the wall, making the hole get bigger.

"Yeah, we can do this." Kenny said with a smile. "We'll work in shifts. Omid, Christa and I. Lee, you rest. We gotta work fast." He started hitting the wall while they all walked away, with Lee, Ethan, Christa and Omid.

"I'm glad you told us when you did. It wouldn't have been easy to." Christa said, with Omid nodding.

"I would have been scared shitless if I was bitten." Ethan said. "Were you?" Lee nodded a bit.

"So.. When we get this guy, what do you think?" Omid asked, with Lee thinking.

"We make sure he doesn't take anybody from anyone again. The world's already got enough evil in it." Lee said, with Ethan and Omid nodding a bit.

"And... you know. In case something happens to you... uh.." Omid said while Christa looked at him.

"Can we not talk about it?" She asked, with Omid looking at her.

"...I want you two and Ethan to take her." Lee said, with Ethan looking at her.

"What? No. That's never going to happen." He said with Lee looking at him.

"I'm serious. She'll be happy with you three, Ethan especially." Lee said as Christa shook her head.

"We're not doing this right now." She said.

"Christa." Omid said, with her looking. "We can look after her." He then looked at Ben, who was sitting alone. "What about him?"

"Well we're taking him with, right?" Ethan asked while he looked at Lee, to which he nodded.

"Does he lose his shit like that often?" Omid asked, with Lee shaking his head.

"No. That's a first." He said, with them nodding while Ethan looked at him.

"...I'm gonna go talk to him." Ethan said as he walked over to Ben and sat next to him. "Hey, you ok?"

"Yeah... I wish I helped more." Ben said with Ethan looking at him

"You DID help. A lot and in Crawford believe it or not. You've been doing good. Real good. With helping Lee on your own free will, standing up to Kenny, all that." Ethan said with Ben looking at him as well and smiled. "Listen, once we get out of here and save Clementine, we'll all go together and get out of here. I'll be sure of it."

"Thanks... For everything." Ben said as they both smiled until Ethan saw Kenny looking at Ben while he sat next to Christa and Omid taking a turn of making a hole on the wall.

"I'm through!" Omid yelled, with everybody looking and walking toward it. "No walkers... Seems things are looking up." Everybody entered the room and looked around.

"Man, this place looks really nice... And secure." Ethan said until he noticed a couple, dead from being shot in the head while they held hands, to which made Omid and Christa sad along with Ethan grabbing his pendant, reminding him of Emmy. "Emmy..."

"Hell..." Kenny said silently.

"How could they do that?" Lee asked, with Kenny looking at the couple more.

"...It's what Katjaa did." Kenny said while he kept looking. "She left me... My son... People that cared about us. I forgive her, but that doesn't make it any less wrong." He looked at everybody. "You don't just end it because it's hard. You stick it out, and help the folks you care about." He began to smile. "So let's figure a way outta here and get that little girl." They nodded while he looked at the gun. "Only one shot left though..."

"It's something at least." Ethan said while Lee opened a door, revealing a balcony, to which they followed.

"Looks like we can stay off the streets all the way to River Street if we're careful." Kenny said with Lee nodding and carefully got onto the edge and jumped off, with Omid, Christa, and then Kenny following, leaving Ethan and Ben.

"You can to go first, or should I?" Ethan asked, with Ben shrugging.

"You can go next..." He said, with Ethan nodding.

"Ok..." He said as he got onto it and jumped, with the balcony adjusting on him after the jump and Ben going last. "Wait... SHIT! BEN WAIT!" Ben stared and started to fall, with Ethan trying to grab his hand but was too late and Ben fell onto the street, covered in trash. "BEN! NO!" He quickly went down the ladder, opened the gates, and crouched down to him. "Ben! Are you ok?!"

"I-I'm ok... Ow... I'm ok!" Ben said as Kenny made it to Ethan, with Lee behind him. "I'm ok... just get me out of here..."

"Quiet!" Lee said while Kenny tried getting the trash off Ben with Ethan.

"The fuck happened Ben?" Kenny asked.

"I'm sorry, just get me up... My legs hurt." Ben said until they got the rest of it off, revealing something to them that shocked them, Ethan the most, a part of the balcony impaled Ben through the ribs.

"Oh... Oh my fucking god... N-no... Fuck no!" Ethan said with tears slowly streaming down his eyes, knowing a person he cares for is really hurt.

"W-What is it? I'm ok! I'm ok..." Ben said quietly, with Ethan still staring.

"We can get you up!" Kenny said as he grabbed Ben and tried to pull him off, but he only screamed in pain and saw the implement.

"J-Just stay quiet!" Ethan said in a bit of a cracked voice, trying to keep it together.

"He's quiet... We can take our time and save his life." Lee said with Ethan nodding quickly.

"He'll be super quiet!" He said until walkers from both sides started coming.

"Fuck!" Kenny said as he tried pulling Ben off, but he only screamed more and was put down, until he saw the walkers.

"Oh god! Don't let them get to me!" Ben said with Ethan shaking his head.

"WE FUCKING WON'T! WE WON'T!" Ethan screamed in a cracked voice with tears finally streaming down his face faster.

"Do you have any bullets left? This only has one left in it!" Kenny asked, to which Lee shook his head.

"I'm out!" Lee said with Ethan shaking his head.

"This isn't happening! This isn't fucking happening!" He yelled until Kenny looked at Ben, then at Lee and Ethan.

"Get the fuck out here." He said with them looking.

"What?" Lee asked.

"Go back! She needs you Lee!" Kenny said in which Lee shook his head.

"Hell no man! I'm NOT leaving!" Lee yelled.

"What did I just say?!" Kenny asked in anger.

"Ken, let's just get Ben and get the fuck out of here! PLEASE!" Ethan yelled, in which Kenny looked down, shoved them through the gate and closed it, stopping them. "KENNY!"

"What the fuck Kenny?!" Lee asked, to which Kenny smiled at them.

"Lee, Ethan... It's ok." Kenny said, with Lee shaking his head.

"No it's not! Damn it Ken!" Lee yelled.

"It's just something I've got to do. You know that." Kenny said, with Ethan shaking his head.

"Katjaa... Katjaa wouldn't want this! Goddamn it Kenny!" Ethan said in anger, to which he looked at.

"Yeah, she would Ethan. I'm sure she would understand... It's either I save the kid or I get to see her. I might get both either way. Now both of you get back up there and go get that girl!" Kenny said as walkers started getting near him, to which he used the butt of the gun to hit them with. "Back you sons of bitches!"

"KENNY! GODDAMN IT KENNY!" Ethan screamed.

"Oh fuck! Kenny ple-" Ben said until Kenny shot him, making Ethan freeze.

"N-no..." He said until he slammed his fists against the wall. "BEN! KENNY!" He started crying harshly, knowing the two people he cared for died.

"Ethan... We need to go." Lee said, to which Ethan started gathering himself, nodded, and followed him to see Omid and Christa.

"W-What happened?" Christa asked as she noticed Ethan's tears, to which Lee looked down.

"They're... Gone..." Ethan said while he got on his knees and started punching on the rooftop. "Just... Goddamn it! Fuck!" He started crying again.

"I heard a shot." Christa said, with Lee looking at them.

"Kenny made sure... Ben didn't feel anymore pain then he had to... He had one bullet, and that's how he used it." He said in which he shook his head. "God... Poor fucking kid."

"Oh man..." Omid said as he looked at the horde. "You saw them die?"

"There was no way anybody was getting out of that." Lee said, in which he looked at everybody. "Let's... just go." He looked at Ethan. "You think you can walk?"

"Y-Yeah... I can..." Ethan said while he got up and rubbed his eyes to dry it off, and everybody started walking forward, leaving Ethan to look at where Ben was. "...I'm so sorry Ben... I'm so fucking sorry..." He looked away and followed the group.
