Clementine walked alongside Pete, who was telling her the story of when he took Nick out to hunt. "And then, the boy started whinin' 'I can't do it, Uncle Pete. Please don't make shoot it." Pete told Clementine.

Clementine was giving Pete her attention, listening to the story as she idly twirled Leeya in her hand.

"Hey!" Nick's voice called from behind them as he rushed to catch up with them.

Clementine and Pete stopped and turned around. "Finally decide to join us?" Pete said.

"Why didn't you wait up?" Nick asked them.

"Why should we waste valuable time waitin' for you to piss on a tree. You know where the damn river is, boy!" Pete said exasperatedly before continued to walk, Clementine following alongside him and Nick behind them.

"So anyways, he turns around and the gun fires, the kid almost gut shot me. The buck ran off when it heard the shot." Pete told Clementine with a chuckle.

"Hey! What the hell are you telling her that for?!"

"Cause she told me she wanted to know ya more, Boy!" Pete said.

Clementine nodded. "How close are we to the river, Nick?" She asked him, trying to distract him from the conversation she and Pete were just having.

Nick looked at the eleven year old girl with a confused look. "Uh...It's uh just up ahead, a couple more yards." Nick told her.

"Thanks!" Clementine said before running ahead.

"Hey! Don't run off by yourself!" Nick shouted as he was about to run off after her.

Pete grabbed Nick's shoulder. "She can take care of herself, Nick. Trust me." Pete assured him.

Nick looked like he wanted to say something back, but decided against it. Luke and Pete seem to think that the kid was badass, so he would believe them.

"Well you're capable of being a real asshole, but you aint no liar." Nick said.

"You're damn right I ain't no liar. Now why don't we-"

"PETE! NICK!" Clementine's voice shouted.

Pete and Nick looked at each other before getting their rifles ready and running towards where Clementine shouted from.

When they reached the river, they saw Clementine checking one of many dead bodies that were all shot to hell and butchered.

"This had to be him." Nick said to Pete.

Pete looked deep in thought. "We don't know anything yet." He said as he walked towards Clementine.

"Think about it. You're Carver, what do you do?"

Clementine looked over at Nick and Pete and walked over to them. "Who's Carver?" Clementine asked them.

Pete and Nick looked at each other and decided not to answer her. Clementine crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at them. "Fine. I'll ask Luke later." Clementine said before storming off to the other side of the river.

"There's more over here and there's more at the end, Pete!" Clementine informed the two of them.

"All right, I'm headn' over!" Pete said.

"Pete, Clem. We should really get out of here." Nick said.

"Just keep watch, Boy." Pete said with a dismissive wave as he headed to the other end of the river.

Clementine noticed an impaled walker in the area she was checking and went over to it. "This one's all shot to pieces too!" She told Nick and Pete before stabbing it in the head with Leeya.

"I don't like this." Nick said as he checked the bodies on his side and kept watch.

"Nick, I don't like this either, but some time you gotta learn the hard truth." Pete said as he turned around to look at Nick.

"What that you're an asshole?" He said sarcastically.

"No...that the world doesn't give a damn about whether or not you like something. Someone here might be alive and if we help them, they might just be willing to tell us just who did this to them." Pete said before continuing to search the bodies.

Nick scoffed before resuming what he was doing.

Clementine walked around the area she was supposed to check and noticed a guy that was still barely alive. She walked over to him and realized who he was.

"You." She said bitterly.

He was one of the bandits that raided Omid and Christa. He was the one with the only gun in their group. Which means he was the one who shot Christa.

He was coughing and breathing heavily. "P-Please. W-Water." He begged.

Despite how much she wanted to listen to what Lee taught her, how much her mind was telling her not to do it, Clementine slowly pulled out her silenced gun and aimed it at his face shakily.

"P-Please. J-Just do it." He begged, wanting to be put out of his misery.

Clementine sighed before glaring at him. "I honestly should just let you turn, but I'm not going to stoop to your level." Clementine said before pulling the trigger.

"Dammit! Nothing here!" Pete said.

"Nothing here either." Nick responded.

"I know who they were." Clementine responded.

Pete and Nick looked at the eleven year old in awe. "What?! How did you find that out!" Nick demanded.

"This guy right here was the one who shot my friend Christa in the head. She was Omid's wife." Clementine informed them.

Pete and Nick looked at her in concern. "They weren't good people, but I don't know if I would say that they deserved this." Clementine said.

Pete shook his head. "I'm not sure if anybody deserves this." He said.

"I can think of a few people." Nick said darkly.

"Easy, Boy." Pete said from his end, not noticing a crawler about to bite his leg.

"Oh fuck! Pete! Look out!" Clementine shouted.

Pete looked down to see the crawler getting ready to chomp.

"FUCK!" He screamed before shooting it in the head, the rifle shot echoing out for miles.

Nick and Clementine ran over to Pete. "Uncle Pete! Are you alright?! Did he get you?!" Nick asked with worry in his voice.

Pete checked his leg. There wasn't a bite. "No bite. Sorry, boy. But you're still stuck with me." Pete teased.

Nick sighed with relief. "Thank fucking Christ" He said in relief.

Pete looked at Clementine and pat her head. "Thanks kid. You saved my life." Pete told Clementine gratefully.

Nick turned to look at Clementine. "Yeah, kid! If you hadn't seen that crawler, Pete would been- OH FUCK!" Nick shouted as he spotted a bunch of walkers.

"There's lurkers everywhere!" He said, aiming his rifle while Pete did the same.

Clementine got out her silenced pistol in one hand and held Leeya in the other. "I only have two clips of seven bullets!" Clementine told Pete and Nick.

Nick checked his rifle. "I only got four plus the six in my pocket, So I got ten bullets!" He said before shooting one of the walkers. "Nine."

"I only have four!" Pete shouted.

Clementine looked Pete and Nick over. "Wait a minute, did neither of you even think to bring a knife?!" Clementine demanded in disbelief.

"Uhhh, No." Nick admitted.

"How the hell are you alive?!" Clementine said, shooting three walkers.

"Hey! I ain't about to take shit talking from an eleven year old!" Nick said angrily.

Clementine then kicked him to the ground and shot three more walkers that almost got the drop on him. She ran to a tree and wall-jumped off it and kicked another walker in the face and then stabbed it in the face with Leeya, quickly reloading after she did that.

"Get off your ass and help!" Clementine shouted to Nick.

"Yes Ma'am!" Nick eeped, now thoroughly scared of Clementine.

Despite the situation, Pete couldn't help but laugh at his nephew's expense as he offered him a hand to get up. Nick took it and used the rest of his bullets to kill all the walkers he could.

Pete soon ran out to. "Get back to the Cabin! Both of ya!" He said backing up as he shot walkers.

"I'm out! Let's go!" He shouted again.

The three of them ran off across the river, which was then swarmed with more walkers.

"Fuck! We can't get by all of this!" Nick said, turning his rifle around to use as a bat.

Clementine surveyed her surroundings and saw a gap in between the walkers. "That way!" She exclaimed, pointing towards the gap.

Pete and Nick looked to where the eleven year old was pointing before running for it. Clementine followed, making sure to kill any of the walkers that would be a problem for them.

A little while later, the three of them made it to a shed. They piled inside and barricaded it. "There are so many of them." Nick said as he backed away from the shed door.

"I know, that was a LOT of them." Pete said as he looked around the shed for anything to help their current situation.

Nick paced around the inside of the shed. "Oh man oh man oh man! What the fuck are we going to do?!" Nick said, placing his hands on his head in exasperation.

"I'll go back to the cabin once it calms down out there to get some help." Clementine suggested.

"No, I'm not going to let a little girl put herself in danger. I'll do it." Nick said.

"Absolutely not." Pete said. "Clem will go. We both know she can take care of herself better than we can take care of ourselves.

"But-"

"But nothing! This is the best plan we have." Pete cut off Nick.

"It's the only plan we have." Clementine corrected.

Nick looked like he wanted to argue, but just couldn't against it. "Damn it." He said.

"We'll wait this out before doing anything crazy, all right?" Clementine said to appease Nick.

"Fine."

Lee and Molly were walking through a forest together. They have been traveling together for over two years now. It has been a year since they have gotten their lead for where Clementine was. "I hope we're getting close." Molly said.

"I know we are. I can feel it." Lee said determinedly.

Molly nodded. "Well that's good." Molly said as they walked.

"We've gotta scrounge up some stuff for her for two birthdays we've missed." Lee said.

"Hell yeah we do." Molly said with a nod of agreement. "Maybe when we find her, we can teach her how to shoot a rifle." Molly suggested.

Lee nodded at that. "That would be a good gift for her. Maybe another could be like a twinkie or something if we find one."

"I can bake you know." Molly said.

The Lee stopped walking and looked at his lover in disbelief, crossing his arms. "You, Molly Everett, can bake." Lee repeated.

Molly chuckled and rolled her eyes at her lover's antics. "Yes, big guy, I can. I just haven't really had the chance to in the past over two and a half years." Molly told Lee.

Lee shrugged. "Fair enough, I guess." He said before he continued walking.

"When we find her, the first thing I'm going to give her is a cake." Molly said, holding up a box of cake mix.

"Where in the hell did you find that?" Lee said in awe.

"I stole it from that settlement we went through a few months ago." Molly told him.

Lee shook his head with a chuckle. "You little Minx." Lee said with a teasing tone.

"Meh. You know you love me." Molly said with a shrug as she put the cake mix back in her bag.

"Yeah, I do." Lee said, kissing Molly.

Molly kissed him back for a few minutes before pulling away for air. "We should really keep moving." Molly said.

Lee sighed. "Yeah yeah I know."

"Hey, were trying to find YOUR 'Sweet Pea.' You should be the one pushing for us to move." Molly teased Lee.

Lee rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as he continued walking forward. He shook his head before focusing back on finding Clementine. The two of them walked for awhile before they came across a dead body. Lee turned it over to check it before freezing in horror.

"Oh fuck." He said in realization before closing his eyes and slumping forward a little.

"Lee? What is it?" Molly said as she walked over to him.

She covered her mouth at what she saw. It was Christa with a bullet hole right in her face. "Oh no." She said in horror.

"DAMN IT!" Lee shouted, kicking a tree, cracking it so it fell over.

Molly examined the body of Christa. "This was fresh. This happened at the most a couple days ago." She informed Lee.

"That means we're close to finding Clementine!" Lee said with a mix of happiness and worry. "But if Christa was like this..."

"I'm sure she died saving Clem or Omid or both. That's the only way I could see her dying." Molly assured Lee.

Lee sighed and nodded in agreement with Molly. "Maybe you're right." He said before standing up.

"We have to look for her before who ever did this to Christa finds Clementine." Lee said as he closed Christa's eyes.

"We should bury her though." Molly suggested.

Lee agreed with her and they set about to burying the dead woman.

Molly put a reassuring hand on her lover. Lee sighed sadly before walking forwards. Molly followed him. They eventually found the river that Clementine jumped in.

"I get the feeling if we follow this river, we'll find her." Lee said hopefully.

"Well your gut instincts have always been right, so I say we go for it!" Molly said happily.

Lee looked over at his lover and smiled at her. "Thanks, Molly."

Molly smiled at her lover. "Anytime." She said, giving his lips a quick peck before walking on the riverside.

Lee followed suit.
