Chapter 6: Richmond

(Flashback at the chief's room)

Lucas was looking at a picture of him and his mom waiting for Bray to finish his business with Tusk.

After 20 minutes, Bray opened the door while covered in bit of blood. Lucas got up his seat immediately.

Lucas: Oh shit you actually did it?

Bray: Uh huh…

Lucas: You alright are you hurt?

Bray: Not uh…

Lucas: Are you sure you definitely killed him?

Bray: YES YES I KILLED HIM STOP ASKING!

Bray held his right arm tightly. Lucas pushed his arm away to reveal a wicked cut.

Lucas: You said you wasn't hurt.

Bray: It doesn't hurt.

Lucas: Don't act tough after you killed one guy. Remind you there is a whole world is full of those assholes. Come sit at my chair, I'll fix it up for you.

Bray sits down at his chair.

Bray: Wow, the chief actually helping me I feel honored (sarcastic)

Lucas: My mom always tell me to help people no matter what position I am.

Bray: Is that your mom? *Points at the picture at his desk*

Lucas: Yea, it was her birthday that day but she still had to leave out to work with the force.

Bray:Oh…..cool

Lucas came with the med kit.

Lucas: You know this gonna hurt.

Bray: As long after this I get that better living conditions you promised me.

Lucas: Of course, I get Oliver to set it up right now.

Bray looks down with relief, "Thanks"

(Present day)

Smoke covered the air, Walkers running around, and sounds of gunshots was roaming all around. People was getting shot left to right and walkers was unleashing their teeth onto their bodies. Bray's eyes begin to open up while his cough was getting rougher and rougher. He gets up to notice he wasn't armed at all. He begin to take careful steps to see he can find tripp and the others or any type of help. While walking a bit, he found a knife….a good start. A walker tries to sneak up on him but one poke to the head with the knife was bound to finish it. He saw some of Badger's men but avoided them.

Bray: Fuck where is Tripp and the others?

Suddenly a man snuck up on Bray covering his mouth using his hands.

Tripp: Kid shut up it's me.

Tripp lets go of him

Bray: Don't do that again. Plus have you seen the others?

Tripp: They are at car. We was trying to find you but this damn smoke was all over the place. Now let's get moving they shooting up a shitstorm over here.

Bullets flew pass them as they quickly moved to the nearest corner for cover.

Tripp: Shit!

A car run over the men shooting.

Tripp: That's them let's go!

They both made a run to the car and got in.

Eleanor: You guys are alright?

Tripp: Yea keep driving

The car quickly drove away from Prescott

(46 minutes later)

The car stopped as they all got out.

Eleanor: I can't believe it. All of our friends. All of our people…they are gone.

They all look at Conrad.

Eleanor: Oh Conrad

He stayed silenced

Bray: I'm so sorry Conrad…Francine deserves way better than this. We will get those assholes back.

Conrad: Oh it's "we" now?

He started to walk up to Bray.

Conrad: WE WAS JUST FINE TILL YOU SHOWED UP! IT'S YOUR FAULT!

Tripp: Easy buddy, it's no one fault.

Conrad: Prescott is gone because of him!

Bray: Listen, you not the only one that lost somebody because of them!

Eleanor: Conrad, calm down, please.

Conrad: If wasn't for you….Francine would still be alive!

Tripp puts a hand on his shoulder.

Tripp: It's not his fault.

Conrad walks back to the car and started to weep.

Bray: Where we supposed to go now?

Clementine: What about Richmond? I've heard they have a community there. If it's true, they'll have food…walls..maybe a hospital.

Conrad: If I find the motherfuckers that did this…they took my home….they took my…

Bray: Listen, I'm with you on this but we need to recuperate and find somewhere safe.

Conrad: Yeah. Fuck it. Let's go.

Tripp grabs Conrad's arm and lifts him back up.

Tripp: That's the spirit man. We have a long drive let's go.

They all got in the car and drove to the direction where Richmond was at.

(In the car)

Bray: Conrad, I'm really really sorry…

Conrad: Just forget about it…

Bray was about to say something else but Clementine put a hand on his shoulder and shakes her head to tell him that where was nothing else to say.

Bray went to his book bag and pulled out 2 cups of pudding from the shed where those men attack him and Jacob.

Bray: Hey clem, want one?

Clementine: Where did you get pudding?

Bray: Long story…

They both started to eat. He caught a quick glance to see clem smiling. He looked away quickly to the window.

Bray: 'How I got into this mess…'
