"I can't believe you guys would do this." David growled. He tone was directed towards his three men, who, Javier noticed, only Lonnie and Max were starting to look guilty.

Behind him, Clementine and Hannah spoke in hushed voices, each taking in their environment. Shade was being led by Hannah, and surprisingly, the stallion hadn't made a single sound since they got there.

"Okay, listen," David said, leaning over to whisper in Javier's ear. "Once we get there, I'm gonna need someone to get some guns, and i'm gonna need someone to go get Kate and the kids. Armory and hospital are right next to each other. Once that's done, go to the building with the raven crest in front of it. It's on a red flag; can't miss it."

Javier nodded in understanding while David glanced up at the people behind him. He rose an eyebrow, and then grinned. David glanced at Javier and nodded to something behind him.

Javier looked back raising an eyebrow. He saw Clementine looking at Hannah with a strange admiration, and Hannah seemed to be totally oblivious. Javier looked back at David, grinning.

"Should we tell them?"

"Nah. C'mon, let's go. Everyone, we're moving out," David said, raising his voice slightly. There was a small chorus of sounds acknowledging David, and then soft footsteps as David led them towards the other entrance of Richmond- a sewer.

At the smell of the sewer, Shade snorted and lifted his head, jerking back. Hannah let out a grunt of surprise, and huffed in agitation.

"Shade, come ON," She hissed quietly, pulling him along. He snorted, whinnying softly, before begrudgingly obeying.

The smell of the sewer was rancid, causing Javier to involuntarily gag. "Oh my god, it smells like shit!"

"Wow, ya don't say," Hannah replied flatly.

"Quiet," David ordered. From behind them, Javier could hear Tripp and Kenny snicker under their breath.

"Lead the way," David growled softly at Max. "You been here before."

Hesitantly, the three men trekked ahead of them, leasing the way through the dark sewer. Javier frowned and reached into his pocket, pulling out a flashlight and turning it on. The walls and ground of the sewer were now dry, with darker brown stains along the floor and a greenish tint of mold on the walls. Javier's nose wrinkled at the sight.

"Aw, god..." Hannah grumbled.

"What? Never been in a sewer before?" Kenny asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.

"No!" Hannah hissed quietly. "I have a horse, for god's sake, I can't just waltz into a sewer!"

Clementine broke into a fit of giggles while Conrad snickered. Tripp scoffed.

"What's so funny?" Hannah asked, a confused edge to her voice.

"N-nothing," Clementine replied, trying to control herself. Hannah huffed while Javier looked back at them, raising an eyebrow. Hannah looked exasperated while Clementine looked as though she was struggling to contain laughter.

Ah, kids.

"Fuckin' girls, man..." Badger muttered.

"Quiet." David snapped.

Javier examined their hostages, and then he went back to listening to the people behind him. Clementine and Hannah had gone silent, as did the other adults. There were a few words barely above whispers exchanged every now and then.

"This'll be the death of me..." Hannah whispered

"Why do you say that?" Clementine asked. Hannah was silent for a moment before replying.

"Things might not go our way. And that's bad because I care about most of the people here. I... fuck." She whispered softly. Javier's heart sank. He hadn't thought about that before- it was entirely possible that things wouldn't go their way. That someone might die.

Javier didn't want to think about it.

After what felt like forever in the sewer, they came up to a ladder which lead up to a manhole. Hannah sighed in dismay.

"There's another exit which you can use to take your horse out," David said offhandedly. "Should be the next one... You'll come out near a quarantine zone. The hospital and armory should be visible there. So should be visible from there. It's probably best if you leave your horse to a stable- they're by the gates- no-one will notice an extra horse." He said softly. Hannah nodded in understanding.

"Wait," Clementine whispered. Hannah paused and looked at Clementine. "Just... Be careful, okay?"

Hannah smiled brightly at Clementine. "Will do," She said cheerfully. With that, she was off.

"Alright, I'm gonna bring Max, Lonnie and Badger to the cathedral. You guys go get weapons and my family; Ava will be waiting for you in front of the crest." David whispered softly.

Javier nodded in understanding. He turned to Tripp, Kenny and Conrad.

"Can you guys get the weapons? Clem and I will go get Kate and the kids."

Tripp nodded. "You're the boss. C'mon ladies, let's go."

Both Conrad and Kenny scoffed. "We'll see who's the lady..." Conrad mumbled.

Javier scoffed and looked at Clementine, gesturing for her to follow. She nodded and followed behind Javier as he went up the ladder behind Kenny.

They came out into the street, with the armory and hospital to the left of them. David stood up straight and pushed his three hostages ahead, leading them to the cathedral. Javier and Tripp exchanged a glance before Kenny mumbled something to them, then lead them to the armory.

Javier took a deep breath and shared a look with Clementine. "This is a bad idea..." She whispered, shaking her head.

"Come on," Javier said, leading the way to the hospital. "You seem to be pretty good friends with Hannah."

"Yea. So?"

"You giggle at half the things she says." Javier said with a smirk. Clementine rolled her eyes.

"She's funny." Clementine said defensively. "And... Very nice." She added softly.

"Why do you say that?" Javier asked.

"Maybe I've just been around all the wrong people, I don't know... But once you get past that crazy first impression, she seems like she really cares about people."

Javier sighed. "Not enough people care anymore." He said softly. "That's how the world's always been. That's why it's so special when you do find someone who cares."

Clementine contemplated Javier's words for a second before sighing. He was right.

"Hey!"

Javier and Clementine both froze and looked in the direction of the voice; down a dark alley. Out came Hannah, a bit winded. Her hands were trembling a bit.

"You okay?" Javier asked. Hannah swallowed hard and shook her head.

"M' fine, i'm fine..." She whispered breathlessly. Hannah looked up, meeting Clementine's eyes, and put on a smile. "Les' go."

Javier nodded, his eyes on Hannah's shaking hands, before continuing towards the hospital.

Here we go.

(A/N)- Thanks for the reviews and the views this far! As you might've noticed, i'm planning on developing Hannah more as a character and exploring her relationship dynamics with other characters. Until next time!
