In the motel

It's been little later after the escape from the drugstore and all of the group had managed to make it to the motel. Axel and Lilly cleaning all those dead bodies including Irene too in the parking and tossed them on the top while Clementine look at those corpses with a disgusted look.

Axel: "Well, that was the last one."

Lilly: "Oh God, it smells like a shit. We burn them tomorrow."

Axel nods at Lilly as he walk over to Clementine who still watch at the top of the dead bodies.

Axel: "Hey Clem, you shouldn't to look at this. Go play with Cath and Duck."

Clementine: "Okay, Axel."

The little girl are heading to Cath at the back of the RV, then Duck came to the girls and talk with them. Axel sees Lee who standing at the front of the parking lot, looking at the picture of his family. The teenager boy have decide to go him and talk.

Axel: "Lee?"

Lee was interrupted by Axel when he thought about his family and his mistakes. He put the photo in the back pocket.

Lee: "Oh hey Axel. Is something wrong?"

Axel look at him with a curious look.

Axel: "That death guy who had the keys; Was he your... brother?"

Lee look at Axel with chocked face that teenager have figured out about his brother and he looked down with a sadly look.

Lee: "Yeah, it was him."

Axel fell sorry about him because he had to put out his brother's misery.

Axel: "I'm sorry, that you had to do. Maybe i would be the one who done it and get the keys."

Lee: "No, it's okay for now. He was my brother but it's over now."

Axel: "Fine then, but you-"

Axel was interrupted by a few gunshots and screaming from a distance. He and Lee tried to see where it was coming from but it's too dark.

Axel: "Let's get back and see if everyone's okay."

Lee nods at him and both of them walks over to Glenn standing outside of his car while listening to the radio.

Lee: "Hey, Glenn."

Glenn raised his hand to signaling for a moment so he could hear the radio. After hearing the news on the radio it makes Glenn look worried and made his own decision about something.

Glenn: "I think I need to go."

Lilly heard what he said and made her way towards him from behind.

Axel: "To Atlanta?"

Glenn: "Yeah. I got friends there, and I just can't stay here knowing they could be trapped in that city."

Lee: "Sounds like nobody knows what's happening there. When we left a few days ago, it could've gone either way."

Axel: "Yeah, and we know that Macon have many of the dead people but Atlanta; It's a bigger city than this one and who knows how many are those in Atlanta, plus some of us was almost to die in the escape, even nobody of us has died for now."

Glenn: "I gotta take my chances."

Lee notice that Lilly getting closer to them but he shakes his head and waves his hand at her, signaling her to let himself and Axel talk to him. She eventually walks away with a disappointed face. As Axel understand that Glenn will really take his chances just like he want to himself to try find his family.

Lee: "Find your friends and be safe."

Axel: "Be careful out there, man. And i hope you will come back soon."

Glenn: "Thanks guys. That means a lot. I don't mean to abandon you all, but this seems like an okay set-up and I'm sure things will be back to normal around here in no time."

Axel: "I don't know, it seems like the military is gonna have more to effort in this mess."

Lee: "Let's hope."

Glenn: "You guys be safe."

Lee: "We'll try."

Axel: "We will never be so easy for those things out there."

And then, Glenn looked at the part of the balcony that got broken off, thinking about that incident with Irene. After that, Glenn gets inside his car, starts the engine and drives away towards Atlanta. Lee and Axel walks over to Kenny and Katjaa at their pickup who looking through a box of supplies. Until Kenny stop and noticed Lee and Axel coming up to him.

Lee: "Hey, Ken."

Kenny: "Close call back there."

Lee: "Thanks for picking me up."

The two of them shook each other's hands.

Kenny: "No problem. We have to take care of each other."

Axel: "Hell yeah. So what now? You and your family still want to get back to your home, Florida?"

Kenny: "Well we want, but for now i think we stay here and hope to the military clean this mess."

Axel: "Yeah, Glenn have already left to Atlanta so you guys know."

Katjaa: "I hope he will be fine and know what he doing."

Lee: "He's a tough guy. Right now we have to focus now on our group."

Kenny: "Yeah. Hey, about Clementine and Cath…"

Lee: "Yeah?"

Axel: "What about them?"

Kenny: "Earlier, I said there some stuff out there that might screw up a couple of little girls like them."

Lee: "You did."

Kenny: "Well, I still think that's true, but after what I saw today, I think between you two taking care of them and them taking care of themselves, y'all are gonna be just fine."

Lee: "Thanks, Kenny."

Axel: "That was good one there."

Kenny: "You got it."

After Kenny went back to his truck, Lee and Axel sees Carley and Doug at a table as they was also looking through a box of supplies. They look happy together and it seems like they get starting their relation.

Lee: "I think we leave them alone for a moment now."

Axel: "Yeah... You right."

Lee: "Your're okay?"

Axel: "I'm fine, it just something in my head but don't worry about it. Let's see what's wrong with your little girl, after we arrived here and then she seems to be sad about something."

Lee and Axel look at Clementine who look down with a unhappy face. They sees Duck at the RV talking to the little girl and Cath about an exciting tale. As the two made his way towards them, Lee noticed Larry was glaring at him while leaning against the wall with his arms folded against his chest and he glares back, thinking about the unforgivable act the old man had done to him. Axel look at the old man with an angry look, he really don't understand why did he to with Lee back at the drugstore. When they got close to the kids, Lee interrupts Duck telling his story.

Lee: "Hey Duck, you wanna cool it for a minute?"

Duck: "Okay, sorry."

Clementine was sitting on the back bumper while staring at the pavement and Lee kneels next to her.

Lee: "I'm sorry, there's uh, not a lot of kids here."

Clementine: "No, it's not that. It's… I got grabbed again."

Lee: "I was there though."

Clementine: "I fell… and my walkie-talkie broke. Glenn had the other one."

Lee: "Aww, I'm sorry."

Clementine: "Thanks. I know I need to be though, I'm just sad…"

Axel: "So? It's just a walkie-talkie. What's a big deal with it?"

Axel didn't really knew it that walkie-talkie was how Clementine to get some answers from her parents.

Clementine: "It's how I used to talk to my mom and dad to know if they're alright."

Axel look little shame for himself about his stupid question about walkie-talkie.

Axel: "Oh... I'm sorry about it. I didn't knew it."

Clementine: "It's okay. But now my parents are gone. It's gone."

Cath: "Maybe we can try to find a another one for you that works."

Axel: "You got a point there."

Lee: "Yeah, don't worry Clementine. It will be alright."

Clementine: "I'll just keep this one, I guess."

He nods at her, but then he hears Larry calling him.

Larry: "Lee, come here for a second."

Lee: "Let me go deal with this."

Lee raises back up and made his way over to Larry while Duck went back to telling his story as Axel still stay with the kids.

Duck: "Oh man, Clementine! Cath! Another thing…"

Axel giving a glare towards Larry and was ready for anything like if Larry going to do something bad again. Lee doesn't want to talk with that old man after who trying to left him behind for the walkers in the drugstore, now he got close to him to talk.

Lee: "What do you want?"

Larry: "You like my daughter?"

Lee crossed his arms and shook his head before he answered.

Lee: "Her dad tried to kill me, so."

Larry: "Well, he did that because he knows that that Lee Everett is a convicted murderer, and so will everyone else if you go near her. You hear me?"

Lee narrowed his eyes as Larry got up to his face.

Larry: "I know who you are. And I don't give a shit about what happens to you. But if anything happens to my daughter or that little girl you've got with you… heh, you watch your ass."

He then walks right past Lee. Larry seems like that he believe Lee is a dangerous man. No doubt that Larry is going to tell everyone if Lee were to ever step out of line. In that case, Larry is not going make easy with Lee. Lilly came up to Lee to talk.

Lilly: "Hey, Lee, do you have a second?"

Lee looks behind him to see Larry still glaring at him and before he walk to Lilly.

Lilly: "My dad would be dead if it weren't for you."

Lee: "Yeah and i glad at everyone is okay, but some of us was close to die because of me that I was the one who made the alarm goes of."

Lilly: "You can't be like that. You're only one man."

Lee: "I don't know…"

Lilly: "We're lucky to have you."

While Lee and Lilly talking together, Axel go to Larry who check on the collapsed balcony.

Axel: "Larry."

Larry stand up and talk with Axel.

Larry: "What d you want now?"

Axel: "I know what you did back there in the drugstore."

Larry look at him with dead look.

Axel: "I don't know what the hell is wrong with you. First you want to killing a kid and then left a man behind for those dead people."

Larry: "Then you should know about some of your people aren't you believe on."

Axel: "You mean Lee? I don't give you shit what think about him and you better that don't do some stupidity."

Larry: "And what you gonna do with me if i do?! Are you treating me to kill me?"

Axel: "No, just giving a warning to you. If I kill you then everybody will see me as a fucking monster just like you should be if Lee didn't made it. And you should thinking what's gonna happen next after if you had done something stupid."

Larry giving a glare towards Axel who turned around and go with no fear from the old man. He walk to Cath who is now sitting at the brick wall lot.

Axel: "Hey Cath."

Cath: "Hi..."

Axel: "Are you okay?"

Cath: "I just thinking about my family."

Axel: "I know you do."

Cath: "You didn't answer the question because we were interrupted by the alarm in the drugstore. What are you going to say?"

Axel: "Look Cath, I don't wanna make you sad. I don't know that Chris is alright but i didn't say that he is dead. And we don't know where is your parents so we can't to try find your family without destination, you understand?"

Cath look down with a sad face.

Cath: "Don't you want to find your family too?"

Axel: "I want too, so I'm gonna to find my sister because i have a clue about where she is."

Cath: "You mean Atlanta?"

Axel: "Yeah, that's right."

Cath look at him with a kind a disappointing face.

Cath: "Why the hell couldn't we get ride with Glenn and now he's gone for a while ago."

Axel: "Cath, i know what you tried to say. But we need to secure this place for now and then to Atlanta but you will not go with me because the radio from Glenn's car that I've heard; It had been so bad in the city and it's gonna be dangerous, other words you're not ready to face that situation yet."

Cath: "Whoa there, there's no way that I can just stay here while you are gone."

Axel: "Cath! We talk about this later, alright?"

Cath shook her head, then she look at him.

Cath: "Fine."

Them they heard some loud bangs go off from a distance, it sounds like the military gets some seriously now. Everyone looked up into the sky to see where it was coming from.

Kenny: "I hope that's the sound of us winning this thing."

Lilly: "Me too."

Kenny: "This motor inn's pretty damn defendable. We block off the entrances with some cars, keep someone on watch, we could stay here until the military rolls through."

Lee, Kenny and Lilly walked towards the front of the parking lot as Axel came to them while Cath's heading back to the kids.

Lilly "I actually agree with that plan."

Lee: "Me too."

Axel: "Make me four."

Kenny: "We've got beds, we've got water and most importantly, we've got light. There are worse places to call home."

Lilly: "Yeah, you're right. You know guys, I think it's going to be okay."

But then, all the street lights on the road were going off one by one.

Axel: "Uh guys... I don't think-"

And then the lights at the motel went off.

Axel: "Oh man. Give us a fucking break."

Now is everything's dark.

Lee: "I thought we'd be fine if we survived the walkers. Never expected they would starve us out."

Carley: "I want you to have this, okay? In case you or Clementine starts feeling weak."

Lee: "You don't owe me anything, Carley."

Lee: "How you doing, Clementine? Everything all right?"

Clementine: "I'm so hungry, Lee."

Kenny: "We gotta get food, guys. Soon."

Axel: "The walkers had already got more animals than i got in the hunt every day. How in the hell those slowly rotten things can get those rapid animals?!"

Andy: "I'm Andy St. John, this here's my brother Dan. We own a dairy farm a few miles up the road."

Lee: "It's beautiful."

Axel: "I will never forgive that fucking asshole after what he did to my dad."

Katjaa: "I never did thank you for saving Duck from the walkers back at Hershel's farm."

Kenny: "Something's coming, Lee. There's gonna be a war."

Lee: "The walkers don't worry me as much as the bandits."

Cath: "Do you guys think these bandits or whoever the hell these guys are will come after the motor inn after the dairy?"

Bandit: "You fucked with us! Now, we're gonna take what we want!"

Axel: "If those guys do, they will know soon that they've screwed with wrong people."

Travis: "There's too many of 'em!"

Mark: "GAAA...!"

Lilly: "You've never liked my dad! Even back to the drugstore when everyone thought Kenny's kid was bit, you went out of your way to side against him..."

Ben: "This isn't happening!"

Axel: "You must understand now that in this world where we live now, we have to do whatever it takes to survive but we still keep our humanity anyway."

David: "No more, please... no more, please..."

Axel: "We have to do this, Lee. There is no other way."

Lee: "I'm sorry."
