Axel Dixon and Cath Carver belongs to me

Please read, preview and follow/alert this story.^^

It was Clementine and Cath who screaming because it was a walker who crawling from toilet room and try to get those girls, they move back from it.

The adults sees what's going on with a frightened sight.

Larry: "Jesus!"

Axel: "CATH!"

Lee: "CLEMENTINE!"

Lee limping past Larry and Kenny, but loses balance when he collided Lilly at the side and fell down the floor. Axel ran past adults and shoved Lilly little because she was in the way.

Axel: "Move away!"

Axel jump over Lee who has stumbled and ran toward the walker when it starts to grab Cath's arms. Axel grab the walker and shove it back while the girls runs away from the walker.

Axel: "Don't touch them, your rotten fucker!"

The walker lungs at Axel, shoving him right against the wall and he tries to push it off. Axel start to getting trouble now as Lee see him and the walker with with blurred vision. It was too hard to see, but he know what's happening, he getting up and runs to help Axel. He grab the walker and shot back it from Axel. Before the walker to lungs at Lee, another gunshot went off as a bullet went straight into the walker's brain and it finally stopped struggling. Lee tossed the corpse to the right and he placed his hands on his knees while Axel leans back against the shelf.

Lee: "Man..."

Axel: "Yeah, thanks for your help and..."

Axel and Lee start to see the one who shot the walker, it was Carley who shot with her gun.

Carley: "You two are okay?"

Lee: "Just great. Thanks."

Axel: "Nice shot, you have a deadeye."

Axel was impressed by her deadeye just like himself he has, when he hunt with his Dad's crossbow. But then, Glenn turned around as he heard the groaning that was coming from outside and the boarded up windows getting repeatedly banged on by the walkers outside as they were trying get inside, because of the noise of Carley's gunshot.

Glenn: "Uh, guys?"

Doug backed up from the window with fear stitched all over his face and ran to take cover behind something as Clementine hiding behind Lee.

Lilly: "Everybody down! Stay quiet!"

Everyone got low on the floor and took cover behind shelves in the store. Larry peeked over the shelf and was beginning to think that their defenses ain't holding longer.

Larry: "They're gonna get in!"

Kenny: "Shut up!"

But then, rapid gunfire was going off outside the drugstore and the walkers outside had stopped trying to get into the store.

Lee: "Is that the military?"

Lilly: "I don't know."

Glenn: "Thank God for whatever it is."

Cath: "Wait listen, it's quiet now."

Axel getting closer to the windows and see there was no walkers outside who banged on it.

Axel: "Alright, everyone. It's fine, for now at least."

Larry started to go around the shelf to get to the front of the store as he resumes his ranting.

Larry: "FINE?! We almost died because of this bitch and her itchy trigger finger and you saying it's fine now!

Axel giving a glare toward Larry.

Axel: "For the first; This "bitch" saved me and Lee plus the girls too. For the second; You didn't even fucking helped us instead you and your muscles was panicked by this rotten abomination. And the third; Will you shut the fuck off for once!"

Larry: "That was still stupid, you brat.! That was-"

But then, he suddenly clutched to his chest while crying out in pain and collapsed to the floor.

Lilly: "Dad!"

Larry: "Ahh!"

His daughter was immediately right beside him as she kneels next to him.

Lee: "What's wrong with him?"

Lilly: "It's his heart!"

Larry: "My pills."

Katjaa: "Um, nitroglycerin pills?"

Lilly: "Yes, we're out! We've been trying to get into the pharmacy since we got here. Please, try to get in there. Behind the counter, where the pills are!"

Axel starting to think about if he really want to help Larry which was asshole; But Axel think about Larry's heart attack that it was a kind of poetic justice for that, so he decide to help as Lee too.

Lee: "We'll get in there somehow."

Lilly: "Thank you so much. We need nitroglycerin pills. Please, get in there. I'll keep an eye on my dad."

Lilly helps her father sit up against a wall that was beside a door that leads to the office in attempt to help him be more relaxed and comfortable.

Kenny: "All right then, everyone else should get comfy and look for anything useful. We could be in here a while."

Glenn: "I'm starting to think this drugstore isn't a permanent solution."

Kenny: "You're right, this ain't exactly Fort Knox."

Lee: "What do you suggest?"

Glenn: "We need as much gas as possible so we can all get out of downtown Macon, fast."

Axel: "He's right, this place can be overrun by those things out there later and it's too risky go out there in the dark on the midnight. So we need to find the gas right now meanwhile we trying to get into the pharmacy."

Glenn: "Right, leave it the gas to me. There's a motel not too far from here, out towards the end of Peachtree. I'll work my way towards it and then loop back, siphoning what I can."

Lee: "You know your way around? Local?"

Glenn: "Born and raised."

Axel: "Glenn know what he doing, so you can count on him, Lee."

Lee takes out the walkie-talkie that he got from Clementine's house and passes it on to Glenn.

Lee: "If you're going to do that, here's a walkie-talkie if you get in a tight spot. Hopefully you won't need it."

Glenn: "Cool."

Lee: "Clementine's got the other one. Check in with her if you need to and get back here as soon as you can."

Glenn: "Gotcha. I'll see you guys in a while."

Axel: "Be careful out there, buddy. Those things never gives up and take cover when the military shows up in case you getting not be shot."

Glenn: "That's how i and Carley save you and your group out there."

Glenn goes through the officer door to leave the drugstore.

Kenny "And you, what's your name?"

Lilly: "It's Lilly. My dad's Larry."

Kenny: "Keep a good eye on him. These boys will work on getting you your medicine."

Lee: "That's right."

Kenny: "And you, you keep an eye on that front door. You're our lookout."

Doug: "It's Doug, you got it."

Carley: "And I'm Carley."

Kenny: "Okay, Carley, you'll shift in with Doug when he needs it. For now, get some rest. You're a good shot and I'd like to keep it that way."

Carley "You got it, boss."

Lilly glared at Carley's comment about Kenny being the boss instead herself.

Kenny: "Now get him those pills."

Cath: "So how we get into the pharmacy?"

Axel: "I don't we can't break trough it, it will take long and get too noise."

Cath: "Are we gonna really help with that guy, i mean once he got pills and who knows what he gonna do next."

Axel looking at Cath with a doubtful look and then at Larry and Lilly. He know that crazy old man will have another a bullshit argument. But that guy is Lilly's dad.

Axel: "You might be right, Cath. But he have a heart attack and that is enough for him. We will keep a eye on him later after he get the pills.

Lee: "We will figured out, i think you should focus the people around just in case if somebody not getting us trouble."

Axel: "You can count on me, go check around. I take look care on Clementine too. Cath, go try find something to eat."

Cath: "Yes, Dix."

As Lee walking around until he find a energy bar on the floor, he pick it up and he saw two more which are each on two different shelves. Lee went to shelves to pick two more energy bars as Axel look at everyone of the group that everything is fine while Cath looking some others shelves to find some supplies.

Lee looks to see Kenny and his family over by the snack bar and decides to see how they were holding up especially Duck who is still shocked. Lee walked up to them to talk with them.

Katjaa: "We can't let anything happen to Ducky."

Kenny: "I know, hon."

They had noticed Lee when he got close.

Kenny: "Hey, Lee. You really gave that old man hell."

Lee: "Yeah. We got pushed, you know."

Kenny: "You don't have to tell me; I was ready to tear the man's head off. Anyway, we, Kat and I, appreciate your support."

Katjaa: "Thank you, Lee."

Lee: "Sure. Are you guys all right?"

Kenny: "We're just fine, considering."

Lee: "How about you, Duck?"

The boy didn't respond as he just stared forward, still traumatized because of that attack from the outside.

Katjaa: "We've all been through a lot."

Lee: "How's Duck doing?"

Katjaa: "He's okay, it was just a shock."

Kenny: "We're lucky as hell nobody got nabbed on the way in here."

Lee: "No kidding."

Katjaa: "How's she doing?"

Lee looked to see Clementine sitting by herself, still holding on to her walkie-talkie so she can hear something from Glenn but he suspects there is more than that. It's probably that the little girl hopes that her parents will answer from the walkie-talkie so soon. Lee don't believe that her parent would be alive after he heard the messages back in Clementine's home. But he don't want to tell her or anyone about it.

Lee: "She's good, I think."

Kenny "She's a tough one, right there."

Katjaa: "She's just a little girl, Ken."

Kenny: "What were you saying, Lee? She spent days surviving on her own?"

Lee: "That's right."

Kenny: "Not just any little girl can do that."

Lee: "What's the plan?"

Kenny: "Hang tight, I suppose. Seems pretty dangerous out there, so we oughta wait for things to clear up."

Katjaa: "You said your family was from here in Macon?"

Lee: "That's right."

Katjaa: "Where are they? Should we go looking for them?"

Lee looked around to see if anyone was listening in and decides to tell them what happened to his family. He doesn't even know what happened to them but still want not to revealed about his past that his family are so surprised over the evidence and don't want to talk with him anymore.

Lee: "They, uh… owned this place."

Katjaa placed a hand over her mouth and have a sorry look.

Lee: "They're…gone."

Katjaa: "Oh, sweetie."

Kenny: "Kat."

Lee: "They were good people. I wasn't around much, but… yeah, they're dead.

Kenny: "Lee, you got a second?"

Lee: "Sure."

The two of them walked away from Katjaa and Duck to where they could speak privately.

Kenny: "Back on Hershel's farm…"

Lee: "Yeah?"

Kenny: "We didn't even try to save him. That blood is on our hands, you know?"

Lee: "It happened pretty fast."

Kenny: "I guess, but I can't stop seeing him in my head."

Lee: "We can't kill ourselves over this."

Kenny: "You, me and Axel killed that boy. We could've saved him together."

Lee: "We did what we could, bad things happen. We didn't make a choice that killed Shawn. You think you do when you look back on it, but in a moment? When things are really out of control? You don't have any choice."

Kenny: "I guess."

Lee: "Try to let it go."

Kenny didn't reply to that as he just simply looked down on the floor and eventually returned to his family. Before Lee was going to Clementine, he turned around and walk to Kenny, Katjaa and Duck. He decide to give one of energy bars to them for Duck.

Lee: "It's not much, but here."

Kenny: "Aw, thanks Lee. He appreciates it."

Katjaa: "That's sweet, Lee."

Lee nods at them and turned around, he walk to Clementine who sitting on a crate that was up against a counter in the center of the store with her walkie-talkie in her hands. Lee checks up on her and he bends down to her level.

Lee: "Hey, there."

Clementine: "Hi."

Lee: "Can I, uh, get you anything?"

Clementine: "I'm okay… maybe I'm a little hungry."

Lee: "I'll see about that. So how are things between you and Cath, you two are actually really good friends now."

Clementine: "I like her, she's really brave and nice."

Lee: "Good. That's really good. You know, you're pretty brave yourself and you're smart too like like hide in the tree house so those monsters can't get you."

Clementine: "Well yeah, eh... maybe not brave."

Lee: "You will be soon. I promise."

Clementine: "Thanks."

Lee: "What do you think about Axel?"

Clementine: "He is so mysterious, i think. But he's nice like he saved me and Ellie from that monster but still is mysterious."

Lee: "Like what mysterious?"

Clementine: "Well he hasn't talked about his life before all those monsters shows up."

Lee: "Clementine, i think that's his own business like he had some bad things, i guess."

Clementine: "Oh, okay."

Lee: "So...uh..."

Clementine: "Are you ok?"

Lee: "What? Uh, yeah, yeah, I-I'm fine. I just uhh, I'm good."

Clementine: "That's good."

Lee: "Yeah, i thinks so. Being good is good. Despite the circumstance."

Clementine: "Yep."

Lee: "Well, sit tight."

Clementine: "Okay."

When Lee stand up he picking a energy bar up from his pocket and gives it to the little girl.

Lee: "It's not much, but here you go."

Clementine: "Thank you."

Lee: "Of course."

When Axel helping Cath to find some supplies.

Cath: "So, how did you know Glenn?"

Axel: "Well he is pizza delivery boy in Macon and i was kind a one of his favorite costumers, we always talk a little while when he deliver pizza to me and my family at home."

Cath: "Oh, man i miss pizzas now."

Axel: "Me too, let's hope that the military cleaning up this shit is soon."

Axel see Lee that he start to talk with Carley.

Lee: "You're a pretty good shot."

Carley: "Well, you don't fuck with a report, especially one that's three days out from her last cup of coffee."

Lee: "You seem to handle yourself pretty well."

Carley: "Ha, really? I'm a disaster."

Lee: "I can't tell."

Carley: "My news editor was eaten about five feet away from me, and I would've joined her if it wasn't for that dorky guy on watch over there."

Lee: "I'm sorry."

Carley: "She was an asshole, but, you know."

Lee: "Yeah."

Lee looking at Doug that he didn't believe beginning about that guy saved the reporter.

Lee: "That guy saved you?"

Carley: "Yeah, can you believe it? Those creeps, or-or ghouls or whatever the hell they are, they were pulling our van apart, and that guy, Doug, just came to the rescue."

Lee: "You can never tell who the heroic ones are gonna be, I suppose."

Carley: "He's kinda cute, in that parent's basement sort of way."

Lee: "Huh?"

Carley: "Huh? Uh, nothing."

Lee: "How'd you end up here?"

Carley: "We drove off to cover the cherry blossom festival. Real hard-hitting stuff."

Lee: "Sounds worth it

Lee start to look at a radio that Carley focus on it before he talk with her.

Lee: "What're you messing around with there?"

Carley: "A radio. I can't get it to work, though."

Lee: "Here, let me have a look at it."

Lee picks up the radio and examines it. He presses the power button, but nothing happened. He flips it over and opens the battery door to check the batteries, except that there was nothing in it.

Lee: "There're no batteries in this thing."

Carley: "What now?"

He places the radio back down on the counter.

Lee: "You know that there are no batteries in that thing, right?"

Carley: "Yeah, of course, I mean, yeah… No."

Lee: "I can try to find some. Needs two."

Carley: "Thanks. I wouldn't even really know what to look for."

He walks to the right of the store to look for batteries for the radio and finds one on the floor that was inches away from Clementine and picks it up. He past Kenny and his family, then he walk right to a shelf with a sign that name is "Snacks". There he found another battery.

Axel look at Lilly who take care Larry as he decide to go and talk with her.

Axel: "How's he doing?"

Lilly: "I'm not sure I got your name."

Axel: "It's Axel."

Lilly: "And your friend over there?"

Axel: "That's Lee."

Lilly: "Lilly. My dad's Larry. I was just doing what I had to earlier."

Axel: "Everyone was."

Lilly: "You or your friend didn't have to call me an asshole or a bitch in front of my people. I don't need that shit, all right? It's hard enough to be in charge of people's lives without some dick cutting you down. And that violence before with my dad; that didn't help."

Axel: "For the first; We all was overreacted. For the second; I don't see anyone of your people who agree with your decisions about your way to survive. And the third; I already have trouble with who has more balls than your dad have."

Axel cited about his older brother, Davie; when he gets angry and threatens his own little brother sometimes.

Lilly: "Humph, i guess we'll see about it."

Axel: "Anyway, what do you think about all this?"

Lilly: "What is there to think? The dead are up, walking around, eating people and turning them into more… more of them. I mean, Jesus."

Axel: "We need to stick together and get through this. So, your are from here?"

Lilly: "I work at Warner Robins, the air force base."

Lee: "Yeah, I know it. Mechanic?"

Lilly: Yeah, some admin stuff. I deal with a bunch of shithead and bureaucrats all day. Sometimes a plane, if I'm lucky. You then? Still a student?"

Axel doesn't want to tell about his banishment from the high school and life of drug-dealer.

Axel: "Yeah, sometimes i work with my stepmother's brother here in Macon as mechanic too. By the way, have you been at RAFB when this mess started?"

Lilly: "No, i was at my home. I was going to my job but then i heard at in radio about this shit so i'm was worried about my yesterday i heard that RAFB is overrun by those things out there."

Axel instantly went wide-eyed, furrowed his eyebrows and looking down. About his father, Daryl who was there and work early in the morning on that day when the walkers shows up.

Lilly: "Are you okay?"

Axel look as neutral out.

Axel: "Yeah, I'm fine."

Lilly: "Did you know anybody at the air force base?"

Axel: "Yeah, my father...Daryl... Daryl Dixon."

Lilly: "That guy? Funny that you have a "great" dad. Sometimes he screaming when someone messing his things. No wonder that how or why are you a tough kid."

Axel give a glare to her and then looking at Larry. He can't see a compare between his father and Larry about their tempers.

Axel: "Maybe, but i can say that my dad's temper is lower than his."

Larry: "Ah, fuck you."

Lilly: "Yeah, he doesn't mean it."

Axel: "It's just that…"

Lilly: "Yeah?"

Axel: "We got kids here, families."

Lilly: "He and I are a family."

Axel: "I'm just saying some people can handle a temper like that. Hell, barely seems like you can. And he have no right to meddle in a another family problems."

Lilly: "It's just his way. Don't make him the reason everything's screwed."

Axel: "Whatever. You can say everything to try excuse us."

Lilly doesn't want to argue about it because she have to take care her dad. Then she look at Cath who talking with Clementine.

Lilly: "Where are your moms?"

Axel see what Lilly mean and look at the girls. He doesn't want to tell about his mom who died on the last month. He don't know where is Clementine's parents. Neither Cath's own too.

Axel: "I don't want to talk about my own mother, but i don't know where is Clementine's parents are, they are on the vacation that Lee mentioned little. And Cath's parents looking after theirs others children, i guess."

Lilly: "Oh, you and that guy aren't relatives with those girls, right?"

Axel: "No, i'm a friend of Cath's older brother. I promised him to look after her. The military evacuated the people at their home, before that Cath was in a hospital. The Military was gonna to execute all of innocent patient, including Cath too.

Lilly: "God! Jesus, but you saved her?

Me and her brother saved her and the rest of patients who was left from the hospital before the execution, but my friend got shot in his shoulder during the escape from the hospital. Back to the evacuation; My friend wasn't able to run fast as i can, he told me to take with Cath so he can distract the soldiers while we two get away from them. I don't know what happened with her brother then after, hope he's fine now."

Lilly: "Oh."

Axel: "And then we meet Lee and the little girl, she was alone at her home until he found her."

Lilly: "Lilly: "Well, they're lucky to have you guys. I hope you know what you doing with her."

Axel: "I have a little sister at same Cath age but two years younger, so i kno-"

Axel was interrupted when he and Lilly hear from a disturbance voice from a radio the one that Carley who tries to get it started. They see Lee is with Carley who giving two battery to Carley and got the radio to start it. It seems like the news from the radio wasn't good after all. Axel and Lilly looked each other again.

Lilly: "I gonna get back to him now."

Axel give a glare at Lilly and her rude words. He turned around and decide go to and talk with Kenny, Katjaa and Duck.

Axel: "Hey guys."

Kenny: "Oh hey, Axel. That was really good words that you say to that lady and her crazy old man."

Axel: "Yeah, it was. It wouldn't surprised me if it will be a fight with him."

Kenny: "Same here, i was really ready to give him a punch. Anyway me and Katjaa are appreciate your help with us to keep Larry away from to hurt Duck."

Katjaa: "Thank you, Axel. You're brave to take care serious problems. I'm glad that nobody is hurt just because Duck is covered by the blood stains."

Axel: "Anyway, are you guys and your boy are alright?"

Kenny: "We're just fine, Duck is fine too but still chocked over the attack from outside."

Axel: "Yeah, i'm sorry that i missed to shot that rotten fucker, if that Carley-girl didn't came outside, Duck would probably be..."

Katjaa: "You can't blame on yourself for this. You helped too to save Duck back to the farm earlier and we're appreciate for that."

Axel nods at Katjaa and he look back to see Lee have talk with Lilly. Then Lee turned to the door with a yellow paper which it say "Alive inside". He grabs the doorknob, turns it and pushes the door open as Clementine follows Lee just behind him.

Into the Office

Lee walks inside the office to see the complete mess that it was in and he saw a lot bloodstains on a bed

Lee: "I can't. I can't think about them in here."

Clementine closed the door behind her while Lee kept looking around the room. He then noticed a photo in a broken picture frame. He picks up the photo from the glass and looks at it. For a moment, he thought about the day when this picture was taken, all the happy times that he had with his mom, his dad and his little brother, but that was all before it happened in his life and his face fell from the thought of it and he rips himself out from the photo and puts the part with his family in it in his pocket.

Carley: "Find anything?"

Lee gasps as he turned around and sees Carley was in the room without noticing her come in. He drops the piece of the photo that had him on it.

Lee: "It's a photo of the family that owned this place. Might help us find track down the keys to the office."

Carley: "I know who you are."

Lee raised his eyebrow in doubt.

Carley: "You're Lee Everett. You're a professor at Athens who killed a State Senator who was sleeping with your wife. This is your parents' store. Folks around town know the owner's son got himself a life sentence, but I'm a reporter for WABE in Atlanta. I paid attention to that trial. Maybe you're a murderer. But I don't really care. Frankly, that's a skill that might come in handy. "

Lee: "Hmph."

Carley: "Did you tell anyone out there who you were, or that you were tied to this place?"

Lee: "The world is ending out there. Who cares who I am?"

Carley: "If you don't think people will find any reason to turn on you, especially when the shit hits the fan, you're insane."

Lee: "Whatever."

Carley: "You seem like an okay guy, and the last thing we need is drama out there. You got this little girl to take care of, and- look, don't make me wrong on this."

Lee: "I don't plan to."

Carley: "Good, because if this last longer than a few days, and you're a detriment to the group, then we have a problem."

Lee: "I hear you."

Carley: "I'll just keep it to myself."

The man are not sure that he can't trust the reporter but it seems like that she will keep the secret about his past."

Lee: "Thanks."

The reporter looked away for a second and then looks back at him with a smile.

Carley: "Don't worry about it."

She walks back into the store while closing the door behind her and Lee checks on Clementine as she was standing beside the door.

Lee: "Have you heard from Glenn?"

Clementine: "Not in a little while."

Lee: "Okay then. So, everyone out there seem okay to you?"

Clementine: "Yeah… well, maybe not the sick guy."

Lee: "Yeah, we'll keep an eye on him."

Clementine: "There was that thing in the bathroom. It tried to get me and Cath.

Lee: "I know."

Clementine: "But you and Axel stooped it."

Lee: "Yeah, we did."

Clementine: "Can you both do that more?"

Lee: "Well, we're not gonna go looking for them, you know."

Clementine: "I mean, get the dangerous ones."

Lee: "We're gonna try."

Clementine: "Good."

Lee: "I'm gonna keep looking around."

Clementine: "Okay."

Lee looks at the door that leads to the pills at the front of the office, but it was blocked by a wooden desk and a pallet. He starts with the pallet as he lifts it up and a wooden cane fell off from it. He slides the pallet to the side a bit, sets it down on the wall and picks up the cane. Clementine was curious about it as she stands beside Lee.

Clementine: "What's that?"

Lee: "This was my dad's cane. He'd zip around here on it from time to time."

Clementine: "Was he sick?"

Lee: "Nah, he was okay. I actually saw him whoop shoplifters with it. This cane's protected this place better than any guard dog ever could."

He sets the cane on the wall beside the pallet.

Lee: "Plus, he knew how to make it look cool. Like you, with your hat."

Clementine: "My dad gave it to me."

Lee: "See? Dads' are smart like that.

He turned around to the desk which is block the door to the pharmacy.

Lee: "Better get this desk out of the way, huh."

Clementine: "Can I help?"

Lee: "Sure."

Lee got on one side of the desk and Clementine got on the other.

Lee: "Here we go. Watch your fingers in the drawers."

The two of them pull the desk back a bit and stopped.

Lee: "How are you doing?"

Clementine: "Yeah, it's not that heavy."

Lee: "How about with everything outside?"

Clementine: "It's not good."

Lee: "No, it's not."

Clementine: "But I think it'll be okay."

Lee: "Okay, here we go."

They continued pulling the desk back until it was far enough. Clementine steps back and asks Lee something that she was curious about.

Clementine: "Do you have kids?"

Lee: "No."

Clementine: "You don't have a family?"

Lee did not want to think, or talk about his family, especially since he had just learned what became of them.

Lee: "…What do your parents do?"

Clementine: "My mom is a doctor and my dad is an engineer."

Lee: "Those are good jobs."

Clementine: "What's your job?"

Lee: "I, uh, teach history and writing, and things like that."

Clementine: "Like, um…social studies?"

Lee: "Yeah, like that."

Clementine nods, but realized that she was lacking an answer.

Clementine: "You didn't answer my question."

Lee ignored her last words and tell her to pull the desk again.

Lee: "All right, a little further."

Lee pushed one side while Clementine pulled on the other so they turn the desk to face the wall. The little girl lets her curiosity get the best of her again.

Clementine: "Why don't you want to talk about your family? Do they, like, hate you?"

Lee closed his eyes and lowered his head as he blurts out the reason why he didn't want to talk about his family.

Lee: "I hope not. It's just complicated, that's all."

Clementine: "Why?"

Lee: "It just is."

Clementine: "But you love them, right?"

Lee: "Yeah, of course."

Lee bends down to her level.

Lee: "Look, my family's gone and I just wish things would've been different."

Clementine: "Yeah."

Lee: "I got into some trouble and then i didn't talk to them for a while. This used to be their store. But let's just keep that between you and me, ok?"

Clementine: "Ok. Because of the trouble?"

Lee: "That's right. Now let's get this done."

She nods at him as they get back into position and they push the desk up against the wall. But then.

Clementine: "OW!"

Clementine suddenly grabbed onto her index finger since it got cut by the desk.

Lee: "Are you okay?"

Clementine: "I hurt my finger."

Lee: "Is it bleeding?"

Clementine: "A little."

Lee lifts her up and sets her down on top of the desk.

Lee: "I'll find you a bandage."

He first looks inside the desk drawer, but only finds a remote that was for the TV in the room on a high shelf.

Lee: "It's the remote to my dad's TV."

Lee takes it and shuts the drawer. He then finds a first-aid kit on a table on the right and looks inside it. He takes out a band-aid that he needed and brings it over to Clementine.

Lee: "Let's have a look at that finger."

He takes her hand looks at the finger that had blood leaking out from it.

Lee: "Ow."

Clementine: "It hurts."

Lee: "Let's see if we can do something about it."

Clementine: "Yes, please."

Lee uses the band-aid that he got to cover up the cut on her finger. Once he was done, she smiles at him to show her thanks. When he going to look around once again, Clementine ask Lee another question.

Clementine: "Lee?"

Lee: "Yeah?"

Clementine: "What if my parents come home and I'm not there?"

He thought about telling her what he heard back at her house, but he just didn't have it in him to say it. So instead, he decided to tell her something that would give her some hope.

Lee: "They'll, uh, track us down. Don't worry."

Clementine: "Yeah, okay. We should keep a lookout. I've got my walkie-talkie in case they try that way."

Lee: "Stay close to me until then, okay?"

Clementine nods at him as he takes out the remote, points it at the TV, and presses the power button. It was nothing except channels is out."

Lee: "That's what I figured."

He shuts it back off and puts the remote back in his pocket. He walks up to the pharmacy door and tried to open it, but it was locked. Now they definitely needed to find the keys to the drugstore to get to Larry's pills. He decides to head back to the drugstore, the little girl lands back on the floor and follows him.

Lee: "Wanna head back into the drugstore with me?"

Clementine: "Okay… Lee?"

Lee: "Yeah?"

Clementine: "You're not bad, right?"

Lee: "I… why are you asking me that?"

Clementine: "That lady said you killed someone. Was that because he was one of the things trying to eat you?"

Lee didn't know if he wanted to be honest about what Carley was talking about earlier, but after looking into her face, he realized that he couldn't lie to her, even if he wanted to.

Lee: "No, he wasn't."

Clementine: "Oh… was he bad?"

Lee: "He was."

Lee opens the door, walks back into the store and closes it after Clementine walked out as well.

Back to the drugstore

Lee and Clementine came back the drugstore and he shut the door, while the little girl go back to that place where she sat. Lee see Axel who speak with Carley.

Axel: I guess that radio sign off didn't sound too good. Are you ok?"

Carley: "I'm fine."

Axel: "You don't have to be... i mean, it's traumatic."

Carley: "I sure some people got out. Maybe they're all rescued. Then again, maybe not."

Axel give a little sympathy look toward the reporter. Then he turned around and see Lee who stand right behind him.

Axel: "Oh, hey Lee. Did you find a way to the pharmacy?"

Lee: "Yeah, but the door in the office which leading to the pills is locked, we need the keys."

Axel: "Damn. But it's your parent's store, that means you know where are the keys, right?"

Lee: "Sorry, i don't know where them are."

Axel: "Let's see what our "lookout" have to say about how is outside now."

Lee nods at Axel as they two walk over to Doug as he was still looking out the window.

Lee: "Heard or seen anything?"

Doug: "Nothing, luckily. Wanna step outside and have a look around?"

Axel: "Are you trying to make us two into meals to those things outside?"

Lee: ""Ha, yeah. I'm not suicidal yet."

Doug: "No, the gate out there is closed. We can hang out in the front of the store and be fine."

Lee: "Oh, huh. Sure, let's go have a look around."

Doug: "Cool. And we'll keep it down. Don't need to bring them back this way with any unnecessary noises."

Lee: "Agreed."

Axel nods at Doug that he agree with too.

Lee steps out the front door first while Axel was right behind him and Doug was last as he closes the door while looking around the streets of Macon.

At the gate on the outside of Drugstore

Doug: "...Jesus."

There were walkers everywhere, just roaming around and looking for anything to satisfy their hunger. A couple of them were feasting on some organs and guts from a survivor that they had recently wrestled to the ground.

Doug: "I think I'm going to be sick."

Lee: "They just…"

Doug: "Eat. As far as I can tell, that's all they care about."

Lee: "And if one gets you…"

Doug: "They eat you, and whatever's left comes back as one of them."

Lee: "Yeah, I think so, too."

Axel: "I don't know guys, do you two really think the military can cleaned this mess."

Lee: "Let's try to be a little positive while we better keep it down out here."

Axel: "Yeah, you right."

Lee, Axel and Doug bends down to the floor to avoid being seen so easily.

Lee: "Any idea where the pharmacy keys might be?"

Doug: "We searched high and low inside before you guys got here, and they weren't on the old couple we took out of the office."

Hearing Doug mention them again made Lee furrow his eyebrows, shut his eyes and look away for a moment as Axel realized that those old couple that Doug mentioned must be Mr Everett and Mrs Everett; The owners of the drugstore. He feel sorry for Lee about his parent's dead.

Doug: "Are you okay?"

Lee: "I'm fine."

Axel: "So if the keys aren't in the drugstore, think they could be out here?"

Doug: "We now live in a world where "getting up and walking away" is an actual possibility, so…"

Lee: "Right. How'd you end up here?"

Doug: "I moved here to live with my uncle. He does tech stuff and it just made sense."

Lee: "So, you're local. You probably knew the owners of this place."

Doug: "No, not really. I've only been here for a couple months and I spent a lot of time..."

Axel: "On the computer."

Doug: "No, just… doing my own thing. What about you two?"

Lee: "I grew up here. Been trying to get home since the dead came back."

Doug: "Oh, so you probably knew the owners then?"

Lee: "Yeah, I did. Good people."

Doug: "What about you, kid?"

Axel: "I live here in this city with my dad, my stepmother and my baby brother."

Doug: "Oh, how old are your brother?"

Axel: "Just one and a half year."

Lee: "Jesus, i feel sorry about the others babies and children in this world that they will see nightmares of this."

Axel: "Me too."

Lee: "Do you think we're safe here?"

Doug: "Well, they haven't been able to get through this gate so far, and the drugstore is safe enough, I think. Whoever owned it took good care of it. It's well stocked and locks up well."

Lee: "What's everyone like in there?"

Doug: "Oh, well… Carley is pretty nice, you know."

Lee: "Heh, yeah."

Doug: "Lilly doesn't take any crap. She's been running the show, keeping people on watch, things like that. And her dad…"

Axel: "Yeah, that guy."

Doug: "He's kind of a dick. Pardon my French."

Lee look around the gates and then he see a walker who is stuck by a power pole. Then he see a name tag that walker has which it say " " as Lee raised his eyes and his face turns sad but becomes normal after a few seconds.

Lee: "That guy over there has the keys."

Axel: "How the hell can you be sure?"

Lee pick his family photo up from his pocket and show it for Doug and Axel.

Lee: "I found this in the office. That boy in the photo worked here. The keys being on him on him is as good a bet as we can make."

Doug: "Yeah, i agree."

Axel: "Same here, but we need to figured out how to get out there and get him."

Doug look at Lee.

Doug: "You wouldn't need long, huh?"

Lee: "Nah, just a few seconds."

Axel: "I guess we need something to distract those things somehow. But for now, let's head back inside."

Lee: "Yeah."

Doug: "Ok."

They walk back inside the store.

Back to the inside of the drugstore.

When they get inside and Doug resumes his lookout position. Cath walk to Axel and Lee.

Cath: "Hey you guys. What did you two doing outside with those creepy skin-eater."

Axel: "Just exploring, if it is a right word to say."

Lee: "We're fine, don't worry about it."

Cath: "Okay. Um...Lee, about that thing from the bathroom. I should tell you earlier about... but you were..."

Lee: "It's okay, as long you and Clementine are fine."

Cath: "Okay Lee."

Then a familiar voice calls out from Clementine's walkie-talkie.

Glenn: "Hey there. This is Glenn, and uh, I'm kinda in a jam here. Uh, little girl, if you're there, could you put your daddy or Axel on the phone? Or on the talkie, or whatever?"

Clementine nods as Lee walked up to her and she hands the walkie-talkie over to him and Axel is right beside him so he can hear too from Glenn.

Lee: "This is Lee, what's up?"

Axel: "And Mr Dixon, at your service."

Glenn: "Very funny Axel, anyway. So, I'm down at the motor-inn, and… well, I'm stuck."

Axel: "Stuck?"

Glenn: "Yeah, I saw a chance to get some supplies for the group and a bunch of the roaming ones got the jump on me. I'm hiding over here, but they won't leave."

Kenny: "What's up?"

Lee: "Glenn's trapped down at the motor inn. Hey, Glenn, we're gonna talk it over and send a group to come get you."

Glenn: "Phew, awesome. I'll sit tight till then."

Lee: "Sounds good."

Axel: "We'll be right there in a few minutes."

Lee cuts the connection and puts the walkie-talkie in his pocket.

Lee: "I'm gonna hold on to this until we get Glenn back, okay? I'll take good care of it."

Clementine nods while Kenny wonder which of the group are gonna help Glenn.

Kenny: "What're you thinking?"

Lee: "Well, I think Doug's not great around walkers, Lilly needs to care for her dad and you've got your family here. So, I'll take Axel and Carley and her deadeye with me down to the motor inn, get Glenn and get back here as soon as I can."

Kenny: "If that's what you wanna do…"

Lee: "Somebody's got to."

Axel: "Alright then, so what are we waiting for? Let's get the pizza boy out from the motel."

Carley: "Yeah, i'm in."

Lee: "Good. Doesn't sound too bad there right now."

Carley: "Let us know as soon as you wanna head out. I could use a jog."

Axel: "We have to go immediately, who know what's gonna happened with Glenn later."

Lee: "Axel's right, i think we go now."

Cath came right straight to Axel and Lee.

Cath: "Be careful out there."

Axel: "Don't worry about it, take care the little girl and keep eye on Larry and Lilly. I do not want something to happen when we are gone."

Cath: "You can count on me."

Lee pick up the last energy bar from the pocket and give it to Cath.

Lee: "Here, take this. You need some energy."

Cath: "Oh, thank you Lee. Man, i'm so hungry."

Lee smile and nods at the thirteen year old girl and turned around to Axel and Carley."

Lee: "Let's go, guys."

The three walk over through the office to the back door.

Clementine have a worry face, she looking at Cath

Clementine: "Do you think they will be alright?"

Cath: "Dix's tough guy, just like my big brother."

Clementine: "What happen to your brother?"

Cath looked down with a sad face.

Cath: "I don't know what happened to him after we left while he distracted the soldiers. I miss him, my parents and my sisters too."

Clementine: "I'm sorry to hear that."

Cath: "It's okay. Right now we hope that Dix, Lee and the others will be fine."

Clementine nods at her and then they talk about another things.
