Lee sighs, looking over the begging, crying girl with both pity and sympathy. He turns around to the panicked, pudgy man pleading for Kenny not to shoot and finally makes a decision.

"On second thought, I have an even better idea."

Kenny eyes him. "What?"

Lee turns to Walter, who meets his eyes nervously. "Walt, you got any rope?"

"Rope? F-for what?"

"Bindings. We're gonna tie her up and keep her here so she can't hurt anyone or tell her leader anything about us."

Bonnie slowly stands back up properly, hands still raised as the rifle Kenny holds glares at her. "Y-you're not gonna kill me though, right?"

Lee turns back around and glares. "That's yet to be seen. Cooperate and we won't have to touch you." Bonnie looks frightened, but nods. Clem sighs, relieved that nobody had to be killed, even if she wouldn't have minded if a member of Howe's died.

"Walt, go get the rope." Kenny orders.

The leader of the lodge group hesitates, putting a hand up in defiance as his breathing quickens. "I.. Kenny, this is.. Inhumane, I-"

"Walt. Lee's a smart guy. We ain't gonna hurt her. Get the rope."

"...Okay." Defeated, Walter heads inside, shoulders lowered. Clementine decides to follow him inside so she can explain the situation to the others.

"Clementine." Lee calls, and she turns around to see him. He sighs. "We'll talk later, okay?" She nods wordlessly, then continues behind Walter. Upon coming inside, they're met face to face with Luke, Nick, Alvin, Carlos, Ben, Christa and Matthew.

"What's going on? We thought we heard yellin!" Luke questions the duo. When Walt can't find the words to respond, Matthew cradles him.

"Walt? Hun, what's wrong?" He can feel his partner shivering in his arms.

Clementine speaks up. "A girl was outside, spying on us. She's from Crawford's camp."

The cabin group men and Christa look between each other, worriedly. "Dear god.. He found us." Pete laments.

"Clem, where is she now?" Luke cautiously asks as Nick begins pacing back and forth, muttering to himself.

"Pull yourself together, son!" Pete domineeringly demands Nick, who scratches the underside of his chin and gulps.

"It's over, Uncle Pete, we-we're done!"

"Panicking isn't helping! Clem, what was her name?" Carlos commands, raising his voice at the southern man.

Clem finally replies. "Her name was Bonnie."

They all stop and look at each other. "Bonnie..? Seriously?" Luke seems offended at the idea of it being her.

"Who's Bonnie?" Christa questions.

"One of Carver's best soldiers. She's loyal and tough, and.. She used to be on our side." Pete answers.

Walter takes a deep breath and stands up straight. "I'll.. go get the rope while you folks settle down." He mutters, beginning to walk away. Matthew looks terrified.

"Rope? For what?"

"We're going to… restrain her so she can't get away." He speed walks away.

"Walt! Wait!" Matthew follows, worried.

Carlos turns back to the group. "That's a solid plan. We'll question her and get some guns on the windows just in case he's already here."

"We better act quick. I'll go get everyone's weapons." Alvin says, already moving towards the bench holding their weapons and bags.

Pete immediately takes the leadership role. "Carlos, Nick, you're on me. We're gonna defend this place. Luke, stay here and interrogate Bonnie. She trusts you."

Luke nods. "Will do. Be careful."

"I'm going too. I'm not gonna idle, even if I am pregnant. It doesn't matter. I need to be out there." Christa says as Alvin comes back and speedily gives everyone their respective weapons.

"Fine. Alvin, go hide with Becca when you're done distributing." Alvin agrees and leaves the group to talk. Pete continues, "We need to shut off that wind turbine first so we're less obvious. Any takers on that?" He points to the huge turbine outside, which is currently being spun consistently by the harsh wind. It isn't off the rails, but enough to draw attention.

"I'll do it." Matthew volunteers, his own voice shaky and dry. "I know how."

"I'll go with you." Ben replies. Matthew nods.

"Sure." The two exit.

"What should I do?" Clem asks.

"Stay here and interrogate the girl. You have a unique perspective, as in you've met Carver, saw what happened at that river and you're unsuspecting." Pete replies.

"What does that mean?"

"That you're tough as nails, and no one knows it." The two smirk at each other. "Good luck, everyone." Nick wheels him out, with Christa and Carlos following suit.

Walter passes by the group with the rope whilst Lee and Kenny continue to hold her up, the three of them standing in silence outside. Walt gives Lee his pistol back and then ties Bonnie's wrists up behind her back.

"I'm.. sorry, miss." Bonnie just lowers her head and sighs, relieved she hadn't been killed yet.

"Well, come on." Kenny motions his rifle towards the door. Lee stands behind her, gun to her back while Walt leads her inside and Kenny covers them, scanning the trees and field.

Inside, Clementine sits with Luke at the cafeteria bench. Rebecca, Duck, Sarita and Sarah are still hiding upstairs, hiding as instructed.

The door opens and the cabin group + Christa scowl at Bonnie as she's led inside like cattle. Nick glares, Pete gives a glare of disappointment and Carlos furrows his brows at her. Walter turns to face them as they leave. "Hey, I'm coming too. I.. can't stick around for this. I'll defend Matty and Ben while they turn the turbine off."

"If you insist." Walt runs towards the turbine, revolver in his pocket. The foursome spread out across the lodge and take defensive positions, aside from Pete who sticks to Nick.

Bonnie is shoved forward in front of Clem and Luke. The latter gets up, walks toward Bonnie and shakes his head. "Why, Bonnie? I mean, why didn't you come with us?"

"I.. I realized it would be a mistake." It suddenly clicks; Clem had heard her name before.

"What were you going to do to us?" Luke questions, clearly hurt. "Hm? You know what that monster could do to Sarah, or Clem, or 'Becca?"

She looks into his eyes, her own red and puffy. "I promise nothing, Luke. I promise. I wouldn't have had Bill do anything, but you know that ain't up to me."

"I know.. Still. You were going to rat us out. Right?"

"I.."

Luke fishes a walkie-talkie out of her pocket, an item they missed.

"Holy shit." Kenny mutters. The others also look surprised, aside from Luke of course.

"I'm sorry, Luke." She hangs her head. He walks away from her and sits down at the cafeteria table.

Lee grabs her by her shoulder and walks her forward. "Let's get this over with." He sits her down across from Luke. Clem sits next to him and Lee sits next to Bonnie, while Kenny decides to stand at the edge of the table.

Sarita comes down the stairs and sees the group. Bonnie looks at her shamefully. "Kenny, what in God's name is happening?"

"This woman was spying on us. We're getting information out of her. Go back upstairs, it's not safe." He explains, his voice relatively spiteful of the situation.

"Then you come up too! You have a son, Kenny, he can't lose his dad if something happens." Sarita beckons. He closes his eyes briefly before looking into hers.

"Nothings gonna happen, hun. I've been through worse. Go upstairs."

Lee decides to help when she doesn't budge, tightening her fists. "Sarita, go upstairs. We'll handle this and then come together as a group when it's done and everything can go back to normal."

She furrows her brows with rage. "Normal?! You call this normal? Yesterday was normal. This is chaos! Your people have doomed us!" Her voice breaks.

Luke stands. "I'm sorry, Sarita, truly I am, but we need to focus. So please, just for now, go upstairs and-"

"Ugh! I can't believe you right now!" She storms back upstairs, holding back tears. Alvin guides her back up supportively and Kenny just stares, frustrated. He turns back to Bonnie. Everyone is looking at him.

"This is so much better than staying at Howe's, right? Fearing for your lives, arguing amongst yourselves, endangering children. Much better than some hard labor and a warm meal at the end of each day."

Kenny points his gun at Bonnie's head. "Shut the fuck up. Tell us where that asshole is, now!" Clem grits her teeth and widens her eyes at his straight forwardness.

"Kenny, chill!" Luke yells, much to Kenny's annoyance.

"Not until she tells us what we want to know."

Bonnie is startled at first, but quickly adjusts herself. "He's comin', just waiting for me to give the word. If I ain't back soon, he'll come looking." She states, cocky, a look of determination blatant on her face. The group looks between each other.

"Gimme the walkie-talkie." Luke hands it over to Lee. He holds it over Bonnie's lips and looks over at Kenny to continue aiming. He understands. "Tell him you couldn't find us, and that nothing is here."

"Fine." Lee clicks and holds the side button, static whining in the lodge. "Bill? It's Bonnie, over."

Within a few suspenseful seconds, static can be heard over the line. "Bonnie, what's your status, over."

"I'm.." She looks up and scans the faces worriedly glaring at her. "I'm fine, over."

There's another pause. Bill replies. "Really? You don't sound so confident, over."

"I'm fine, sir. The lodge is empty, not a soul in it." Knock, knock, knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock, knock, knock. "..Over." They shrug her nervous movements off as sweat beads down her forehead and she begins to shake.

"...I understand. Come back to the bridge, now. Over." He demands.

"Will do, over and out." The static dies.

"Good job." Lee praises, putting the talkie down. "Now, where are our friends? Chuck, Carley, Molly. Don't act like you don't know who they are."

"They're in the truck, which is prolly going back to Howe's as we speak." She answers coldly.

"They're alive though?" Clementine asks quickly.

Bonnie spots the young girl and feels a hint more of remorse, something she didn't believe to be possible after how guilty she felt selling out the cabin group. "Yeah. Carley's shot and the other two are beaten, but they're okay."

"Shot?! Where?" Lee growls, horrified.

"In the leg, she's fine! She'll be able to work soon." She answers back. Lee begins pacing nervously, as he usually does.

"Now what?" Clem questions.

"Well, it's not like we can let her go, and we need her to find Howe's and save the others. So I say we keep her around and use her as a guide and a hostage." Kenny suggests.

"A bargaining chip? I dunno… Seems risky." Luke replies.

The Floridan gives Luke the side eye. "We're getting them back, boy. Whether you and your crew like it or not."

"Easy, Ken. Everyone, it's safe to come out." Lee announces. Sarah, Alvin, Rebecca, Duck and Sarita hurry down the stairs.

Rebecca sees the pale woman standing up with her hands tied behind her back. "Bonnie.. How could you?" Again, she sounds incredibly hurt.

Bonnie looks just as hurt, only more so for herself. "'Becca.. This is for your own good. How can't you see that?"

The soon to be mom grits her teeth. "How could you possibly think staying with Bill is a good idea?! He wants to- to kill Alvin! He wants to abduct our baby!"

Bonnie sighs, looks into Alvin's eyes and speaks, "That baby ain't yours, Alvin. We know who the father is." He doesn't look happy, and everyone else is just gawking. Rebecca smacks the woman across her face, leaving a handprint as she jolts out of her seat and falls to the ground.

"Fuck you, Bonnie." Alvin grips her arm and holds his wife back.

Then he speaks for himself. "Think what you will. He's mine. Bill wants to turn him into a soldier, he doesn't deserve a child."

"Get her out of my fucking face." Rebecca barks. Luke helps her up.

"Everyone, please calm down." Luke demands, stressed. "You're losin' sight of the situation. The more you argue and lash out, the more we stray from being decent. This fighting needs to stop." He caresses Bonnie's face with the back of his hand, tending to her pain.

She stutters, getting up to her feet with the waterworks coming back in. "I… I didn't wanna do this."

Rebecca seethes. "Well you did, and it almost cost us everything. So thank you, you junkie bitch." Luke takes a sobbing Bonnie away from the group to tie her up in the lounge. Clementine watches, getting a headache as she notices how tight her bindings are.

Where are my parents?

Sweetie, they're.. Out. It's okay. I'm here.

Okay.. what's your name?

My goodness. Ha. I forgot to tell you my name. It's Fred, Clementine. It's great to finally meet you.

My parents aren't coming back are they?

Let me out! I can't open the door!

If you try to leave again, honey, I'll be forced to shout. Don't make me do that.

She feels herself come back into reality when Lee taps her shoulder.

"You okay?"

"Y-yeah.. Just on edge."

"I understand. Come here."

The two embrace, Clem giving Lee a short but tight hug before breathing in deep.

"Remember: we're smarter than them. We're smarter than all of them."

Duck twiddles his thumbs next to Sarita. "Dad, are we in trouble..?"

Kenny feels Sarita glaring at him, her eyes red. He turns and wipes her stray tears, kissing her on the forehead. She sighs, feeling her worries somewhat fade. Then he looks at his son."I can't sugarcoat it.. Yeah, we are. But it's okay. We're gonna be fine."

Bang!

"What was that?"

"Sounded like a gunshot.."

"My dads out there.."

"Come on, let's go check it out. Sarita, Rebecca, Duck, Alvin, stay here. Protect them at all costs, man." Lee orders.

"You know I will." Alvin responds.

"Be careful." Sarita hugs her lover, her nails digging into his back.

"You too." Kenny let's go.

Luke runs up to the group. "I'm coming too."

"Kenny, Luke, head out the back. Me and Clem will go through the front. Divide and conquer."

They break, running from both directions as teams. Lee and Clem burst through the front door to see more than a few walkers stumbling their ways toward the windmill, which only just now stops. A few more gunshots can be heard. Lee runs up to one walker and pistol whips it before stomping its head out, while Clem, now wielding the wrench Lee gave her, hits the other one in the jaw. It stumbles to the floor before she hits it on the skull, killing it for good.

Christa fires her gun at two more coming up at her. The duo run up to her and reunite. "Christa! What's going on?"

"It's just walkers, Lee. The windmill started spinning out of control and now they're all coming over for dinner." She answers.

"We'll help take care of them." Clem assures.

"Alright then."

Lee looks around and spots Nick, Pete and Carlos around the corner, fighting off a small horde consisting of around twenty walkers. Clem and Christa shoot out the walkers coming from the direction of the hill they climbed to get here, and soon enough they're all dealt with.

"Come on, we gotta help 'em!" Lee sprints towards the three, the girls hot on his trail, though Christa purposely moves slower to avoid any complications. Pete wheels himself backwards as more walkers tread their way towards the cabin trio, cornered. Nick stands in front of his uncle and yells out a war cry as he blasts walker after walker away with his rifle. Carlos shoots a few, but eventually runs out of ammo.

"Shit, I'm out of ammo!" The magazine falls out of the doctor's glock. Pete notices the trio coming to aid them.

"Look!" Lee shoots two walkers through the head simultaneously thanks to some precision and their weak skulls, followed by Clem downing a walker before slamming her weapon into its head, and Christa just unloaded half a clip into the rest of the undead limping towards them.

The walkers were now split up enough to digest properly. The group is easily able to take them out, destroying the undead.

"You saved us. Again."

"You'd have done the same, if you had another leg."

"This is no time for jokes! Where's Sarah? Did Bonnie tell you anything?"

"Sarah's fine!"

"Carver's people don't know we're here, they think we're gone."

"Probably, anyways. He did sound suspicious over the radio, but we have some time."

Crrrrrr

The group looks at Lee's pant pocket. The walkie talkie had been shoved in there. He takes it out.

"Bonnie? Where are you?" Bill's raspy voice quizzes, but it sounds almost like he doesn't really care.

Lee looks at the device for several seconds, wondering what exactly to do. On one hand, he could ignore the question at the cost of appearing suspicious. On the other hand, he could destroy the talkie and avoid that sound drawing unnecessary attention in the future, at the cost of not knowing what Carver's doing. Or, he could have Clem imitate Bonnie's voice and try to trick Carver. Whatever he did, it had to be quick.
