Chapter 7: Visionary
(Flashback)
Lucas took Bray and Jacob in to a new holding area to live up to that promise he made. The new holding area looked a lot cleaner than the cell and even have a pinball machine which actually works.
Bray: You really lived up to your word Lucas. Look at this room, it's perfect!
Lucas: I told you, I live up to my word.
Jacob have an unsatisfactory look on his face not buying to this luxury. He crossed his arms and looked at Lucas.
Lucas: What?
Jacob: I'm not buying this shit. What Bray did to earn this?
Lucas: He just did a few chores around the prison. Nothing more and nothing less. You should stop worrying and start living a bit more normally while you still have the time.
Jacob: A few chores just to get this? I know your lying and you better not be.
Bray: Hey chill, there is nothing to worry about.
Jacob looked at Bray very closely and kneel until he was the same level as him.
Bray: You creeping me out…
He begin examining him and grabbed Bray's arm which just got bandaged.
Jacob: Explain...now.
Lucas: He alright, it's just a cut.
Jacob: I'm not talking to you.
Bray: It was just accident. I just fell on a shard of glass no big deal.
Jacob: You are a horrible liar…
Lucas: He's telling the truth!
Jacob: How do you know that? Covering up your tracks snake.
Bray: Listen, it was just...one job and that's it.
Lucas: Bray!
Jacob: What was the job?
Bray looked down, "Let's just say someone had to leave out the building..."
Jacob gets up and grabs Lucas by the throat with intense grip. "The fuck you made him do!", with anger coming beside his voice. Lucas pulls our his knife and thrust it on Jacob's hand causing him to completely lose his grip on him. The pain caused him to scream while the knife was still engulfed in his hand.
Bray: Holy shit!
Lucas: You told me you would keep your word on keeping your mouth shut!
Jacob begin to try to take the knife out his hand but couldn't since he couldn't endure the pain. Lucas took out his radio.
Lucas: We need a medic here quick!
Lucas put the radio back in his pocket and look at Bray with a stern look.
Lucas: We gonna have to talk…
(Present Time)
Bray woke up to see the sun and realized that the car stopped.
Bray: Huh? We here?
Eleanor: No, were stuck. There are cars covering our way so Tripp and Conrad are doing something about it.
Bray looks out the window to see them doing something with wires and Clementine keeping watch.
Bray: And you didn't wake me up?
Eleanor: You looked peaceful.
Bray rolled his eyes and got out the car to look around. Sadly he found absolutely nothing but some walkers on the floor. He looked at the gas station near by and see it was bordered up.
Bray: Why I am not surprised.
Clementine: Well you finally up.
Bray jumps up a little and turns around to see Clementine.
Bray: Don't do that…
She smirked, "Sorry"
Bray: It's fine, nothing else than being scared with those things around.
Clementine: Not that far but…
Bray: But?
Clementine pulls Bray a little further from the group.
Clementine: I can trust you right?
Bray: Yea, is it bad?
Clementine: Bad is an understatement…
Bray: uh oh..
Clementine: Remember when I said that I was stuck with the new frontier?
Bray: Yea
Clementine rolls up one of her sleeves to reveal the same mark that bandit had back at the junkyard.
Bray: Fuck you was one of them!
Clementine: Shut up! They will hear you.
Bray: Why would you join them?! They are savages!
Clementine: I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE! I had to find some other way to provide for AJ and me. We lacked food and a place to go. When one of them came by and helped me, I believe that they was safe. But I wrong when they took AJ from me. I would not stop until I get him again.
There was a small silence, "So they are in Richmond?..."
Clementine: I thought they will be Richmond but they probably not. But if they do, I can't come with you guys since they know me.
Bray: Where would you go?
Clementine: Anywhere, away from them.
Tripp: GUYS WE HAVE A PROBLEM!
Clementine and Bray went to Tripp to see a load of walkers coming towards them.
Bray: Where is Eleanor?
Tripp: I told her to go on to Richmond so we can meet her there.
They all went to Conrad who shoot some of the walkers but they kept on coming.
Conrad: They are too many of them!
Tripp: We are fucked!
Bray took out his knife and managed to kill some of them. Clementine as well kill some with her pistol.
Bray: We can't keep standing here!
Tripp: WE CAN CLIMB UP TO THE ROOF LET'S GO!
They all went to the ladder which is beside the gas station and begin to climb up. While Bray was climbing one of the walkers grabbed his neck. Bray immediately grabbed his gun and shoved it inside of the walker's mouth. He pulled the trigger which the blood of the walker splat on his face but mainly the sound of the gunshot causes his ears to ring very loud. He tries to climb up the ladder without trying to pay attention to the ringing. As he climbed, the ladder was in the urge of breaking but luckily Conrad pulled Bray up.
Bray: Thanks…
Tripp looked around and seen a shit ton of walkers roaming around.
Tripp: I knew this place didn't feel right.
Conrad: What the hell we gonna do now? '
Bray: We can wait, they can possibly leave out of here.
Clementine: That can take days. We'll be dead by then.
Tripp: Well this fucking great! What the hell are we gonna do?!
Clementine: Calm down.
Tripp went up to her, "Calm down? I'm not gonna calm down! Eleanor's out there right now! I CAN'T FUCKING CALM DOWN!
Conrad: WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS MESS IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU!
Clementine: Fuck off Conrad!
While they was arguing, Bray saw someone Hide behind a billboard.
Bray: Guys shut up I see someone up there!
Conrad: What? Where?
Tripp: Shit get down!
They begin hiding. Bray slowly took a peep to see if the guy was moving around or still there.
Bray: Listen, we don't want no trouble! It's 4 of us and we are armed!
He looked up, "Nothing…shit. I'm going up, cover me if something is going on.
Bray begin to sneak up behind the billboard while holding his gun up. While he was almost there, he saw someone ran behind the billboard. He continued on but as he finally went behind the billboard. No one was there.
Bray: What the fuc-
A gun was pointed behind his head.
?: Don't move…
Bray: Listen, I don't want any trouble…
?: Good, Now tell the other to lower their guns.
Bray yelled, " GUYS LOWER YOU GUNS!"
?: Good…
Bray: We good now?
?: Yea...we are good…
Bray: My name is Bray, what's your name?
The man lowered his gun, "My name is Glenn...I have a wife I need to get back to.
