Chapter 26: The Meat Locker

Cath's POV

I looked around and see Dix and Kenny looking around at the walls if there is a way out of here while that dick Larry who just banging on the door to knock it off. I'm getting be annoying of him and his reckless intentions.

Will this guy never give up? He will get us in trouble if those bad people are coming back here.

"Open this goddamn door! You can't keep us in here!" Larry exclaimed and still banging on the door, but no use.

Then I noticed Lilly have just puke right on the corner of meat locker, right next of Larry. Probably do that because she had eaten little human meat in the "dinner".

I can't believe why they did this to Mark and tricked us to eat his legs. Oh my god, what'll happen with Emily and Kenny's family too. Please be alright, sis.

I saw Dix walked over to Larry and glare at the old man.

"For god's sake, Larry! Stop banging on the door! You'll get all us killed!" Dix bellowed at Larry, he ignored and still banging on the door.

"You sick fucking bastards! Open this door, goddamn it! I will knock the goddamn door down!" Larry exclaimed in his temper.

"Dad, stop!" Lilly said after she have puked done.

I walked over to Clem who look scared now.

"Clem, are you okay?" I asked as she looked at me and I see her eyes is in fear.

"I'm scared, but fine. What will happen with Emily, Duck and Katjaa?" She said and asked.

I'm getting be more worry about my sister now. I'm frightened now and put my hands on the head.

"I don't know. I...That get me more worry about-" I say, but cut off by Larry turned from the door and look at me.

"Will you quacking around while who knows if your sister will being raped!" Larry scoffed with a smirk.

I'm widen my eyes and getting angry by those words from him. How dare he to speak like that about my sister?!

"Don't say like that or I will-" I bellowed and start walked to Larry, but Axel put his hand on my shoulder to stop me.

"Don't, Cath! You don't pick a fight with him." Axel said with a seriously look and then he glare at Larry. "And YOU... Shut your fucking mouth! One more word about Emily or anyone who didn't have something wrong with you, that will be your last word." Axel said coldly as he raise his other hand up and his hidden blade shows up from the bracelet.

Larry shot a dead glance to Axel and turned back to the door.

He. Yeah, go and shame yourself. Thanks Dix.

Them I head someone huffed as Clem and I'm look to the left and saw it was Les who awaking up. He raise up as we approaches him.

"Lee!" Clem exclaimed and we bends down close to Lee.

"Are you okay?" Cath asked.

"I'm fine, just feel little hurt on my face." Lee answered.

Clem whimper up something. "It...it was a person. They... they tried to make us eat a person!"

Yuck! Don't say that, I'm getting sick.

"Let's just... ehh... talk something else, okay?" I said as Lee and Clem nods.

"They didn't hurt you two?" Lee asked as Clem and I'm shaking our heads.

"No, but we're trapped in a meat locker and those human-eaters have my sister." I said and look sad.

"Lee, we have to get of out here. As they touch much my family, I kill those son of bitches." Kenny exclaimed and so stress to save his family.

"Get out off us, you son of bitches!" Larry bellowed and tried to get St Johns's attention, but no use.

"Dad!" Lilly exclaimed and tried to calm him down, he didn't listened and walked over to Lee with an angry look.

What the hell he's up to now?

"This goddamn thumb-sucker is the one who brought us here!" Larry exclaimed.

I shoot a glare at Larry. It wasn't Lee's fault. I see Dix get between Larry and Lee with an anger look.

"NO, Larry! We were all starved and so desperate for any goddamn food! They promised us to give some food and you voted to go the dairy as the rest of us did. So go fuck away and blame yourself!" Dix bellowed as Larry sent one more a dead glare to him.

As we except Kenny who try to find a way at the walls, looked at them and afraid if they're really gonna fight as I saw Dix's hands build to fists. But Larry shook his anger head and turned back to the door.

"I'm scared." Clementine said with her eyes in fear as I put my hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Clem. We'll be fine, I hope." I said unsure.

"Stay here and try to find a way out of here, okay?" Lee said as we nodded.

Axel's POV

I put my hands on the wall among of salt-lickers, but it was nothing. Maybe I can try with one of these. I pick a salt-licker and hit on the walls with it, but no evev scratch.

"Shit! We ain't get through the walls." I said and lay the salt-licker back to where it was.

I turned and looked at Lee and Kenny to see if they've find a way or something.

"Did you guys find something?" I exclaimed as Lee shook his head. Great.

"We have to of out of here, guys! Those psychos has my family!" Kenny said and still try to find after a way out of out here.

"We know, Kenny. Let's take a little breath and think if there is something here that we have never checked-" But cut off by Larry who still barking to the door.

That guy has to stop. I walked over to Lilly who still try to calm her father down and feel little no good because of the dinner.

"Your dad's not making things any easier for us right now. He will get all of us killed if the St Johns are coming back." I said as Lilly give me a seriously look before looked back to her dad.

"Dad, stop!" Lilly exclaimed to her dad, but he didn't listened and still banging on the door.

I see Lee walked over to Larry with a seriously look.

"Come on, Larry. Do you really wanna attract their attention?" Lee said as Larry stop banging, but didn't turned from the door and looked at Lee.

"Yeah, I wanna attract their attention… so I can fucking kill 'em!" Larry bellowed and continue to banging on the door.

I scoffs and looked at Larry with a doubtful glare. "You and with what? Your anger and temper will get to yourself killed and us too, including your daughter too!" I shot back and stand right next to Lee.

Larry looked at me with a scary glare, but didn't scared me or Lee either. "My girl can handle them easily than you who barely can't. You guys don't have any damn guts, have you?" Larry scoffed.

Tch, You haven't handled with walkers as Lee, Carley, Kenny and I did over three months.

"Guess your new girlfriend wasn't all she was cracked up to be, now was she?" Lee said coldly as I wide my eyes in chock.

Girlfriend? Wait, did he mean Brenda? Ha, no wonder that dick tried to protect her in the first hand at the dinner.

"Oh ho, now I get it. I guess you were just not a fucking hungry dog except a lovely dog too, huh?" I scoffed coldly.

As Larry turned from the door and looked at us with his searing glare. What the hell is your problems, you two?!" Larry bellowed as Lee and I glare at him. "You didn't give me my day's rations back at the motor lodge and you just give me a hand as a goddamn barbecue meat after your fucking old man stabb right on my leg. You two must really hate me." Larry said as Cath shot a glare to him.

"Well, and what's make you a special like barking at us?! You wouldn't still breath without them becuase you just have lazing around back in the motel!" Cath snapped as Larry sent a glance to her.

I sighed that she never stop fighting with Larry, but this time I didn't say anything to her because she has right about it. Then Larry looked at Lee with his threat glance.

"But, guess what? You're stuck with me. I plan to be around long after you're gone, and if you turn, I'll be the one to put the axe into your skull." Larry snarled right to Lee who ain't scare by the old man.

"Dad!" Lilly exclaimed as I shoot a glare to Larry.

Oh, so now you think what you can do with Lee? Well let's see how long will you survive along with us, not too long for me.

"No… You're not worth the energy to hate." Lee said with a coldly tone.

"Don't forget; I know who you really are." Larry scoffed coldly and went back to the door.

What? I'm wide my eyes as I getting curious what Larry talking about that he know what Lee really are. As Lee walked away from Larry, I looked at him curious.

"Lee, what did he mean by that?" I asked as Lee stand and lower his head down while huffs.

"It's... it's not important right now, okay? Let just focus on the problem now, okay." Lee said immediately, but little carefully.

What's up with him? Did he have done something?

"Lee..." I tried to ask again, but he cut off me already. "I said let's focus now." He said with a seriously look, but have a little worry expression on his face.

Wait, did he maybe lied to me that Larry is a racist? Well, even he lied about the big deal with Larry, that doesn't make up about what he did to my father. But he has right, we have to keep going to find a way to get out of here.

Then I looking at a air conditioner right almost above Kenny where he stand as i noticed that Lee looked at that too. He start to thinking about that. "Hmm..."

"I'll- I'll break the damn door down!" Larry bellowed and still banging on the door.

I looking at him again with an annoying look. Seriously! Will he never take a damn break?

"Dad, you're not gonna-" Lilly said, but suddenly she cut off when Larry start holding arms on his chest and start to sighed in pain. He take some back step from the door as Lilly approaches him. "Easy!"

"Huurrrrghh! Oh, God…" Larry said and collapsed onto the floor as Clementine gasped at the sight by that.

Oh shit, another heart attack again? But this time, he's not moving. Is he...

Lilly kneel down and checking her dad as she hold her hand around her old man's face. But no sign of his breath. "No! Dad, come on! DAD!" Lilly exclaimed and place her ear on his chest to listen for him breathing.

"Oh, God, he's stopped breathing! I think he's had a heart attack." Lilly exclaimed and tried to bring Larry back to life with CPR.

Fuck. If he's dead then he will came back and attack as I said earlier we don't wanna stuck with him in a room. Me and my big mouth again.

"Shit. Is he dead?" Kenny asked with his eyes in little fear and worry.

"He's not dead! Somebody help me!" Lilly exclaimed.

How can she be sure that he's still alive? Well, Lilly would never accept that because she don't wanna lose a one thing left in her life. But it will be risky like a heart attack is a determine question if he will still alive or come back and kill us.

I looked at Lilly with a hesitant glare. "But Lilly, what if he's dead-" But cut off by Lilly. "He's NOT dead!" Lilly exclaimed.

I sigh and shook head. Lilly is so desperate to save her dad, but that might will be suicide.

"Think this through, guys. You all saw what happened with that poor bastard back at motel, how fast he turned." Kenny said panicking as Lilly heard what he said and shoot a angry glance to him while Catch got a disbelief expression on her face.

"What're you saying?" Lilly said and frowns at Kenny.

"Lilly, I'm sorry. I truly, truly am…" Kenny said and looked bluntly before turned to serious face. But in a few minutes, we're gonna be stuck in a locked room with a 6'4 300 pound seriously pissed off dead guy."

"Are you serious? I'm mean we don't have to talk about this. Maybe we give her time to save her." Cath said and looked chock over Kenny's conversation

Cath don't like and hate Larry, but she doesn't want him dead. I looked at Larry who is still not moving and seems so lifeless. I always want him to die, but not in this way. Besides, it's not a time to play a game and let's be smart for now.

I sighed and getting disappointed now, but that's beats up. "Kenny has right there, there is no choice we have, Cath." I said and Cath being chock over my answer.

"Dix, have you gone mad? Look, I think you need to take a breath that you hate Larry and I understand that, but it doesn't mean you have to go through this." Cath said and tried to reason with me, but I shook my head.

I place my hand on her shoulder. "It's not about that, Cath. If I really want to kill Larry after what he did to my father, I would help Lilly to try save his life and then fight him like man what my father taught to do that when there's someone who dare to hurt my family. But it's not a good time to do this shit and it is about to make sure that he will never come back and kill us." I explain my motives as Cath looked at me with her eyes in chock. "And besides, Cath; you must understand that those fucking cannibals have your sister and Kenny's family and who knows what they gonna do with them while we're stuck with an old man who probably will come back and kill us. And I'm not sure if Carley and the other realize now that we are not back to the motel yet and they will try to find us at this dairy, that would be end for all of our group and Larry will be maybe the most cause of this if we don't kill him."

"Fuck you! We can bring him back! Lee!" Lilly yelled at me and called Lee to help that he's the only one who hasn't decide yet to help Lilly or kill Larry.

"We'll mourn him later, but right now, we have to keep him from coming back!" Kenny said as Clem looking now scared with her eyes in horror and holding her hands together right front of her chin. "NO!" Clementine said and and stand right behind us.

"God dammit, Kenny! He's not dead!" Lilly snapped Kenny.

She will never let us to do it. Well I don't want to be one who will kill him. I looked at Lee and see what he has to say at us. As Lee frown at me and Kenny.

"We can't kill if he's not dead, guys." Les said.

Come on, man. We don't even know if he's dead or not.

"Have you forgot how that poor monster back in the motel who almost got Katjaa and me, and then over you? And Larry is twice of his godamn size. It's him or us, that's it." I said as Lee shook his head and looked at Kenny.

"Look, Kenny, back in the drugstore, when we all thought Duck was bitten; I gave him the benefit of a doubt. Maybe we should do the same now." Lee said and trying to convince Kenny.

"It was different. Duck wasn't bitten. But, come on, we know this guy's not gonna make it." Kenny said as I nodded.

"Remember what Emily and her friends said; gotta destroy the brain. Come on Lee, I don't like this either, but this situation is one of things that we can't hold back from doing so far." I said.

As Lee looking at me and Kenny and then at Lilly who still trying to bring her father back to life. Hurry up, Lee. I know he's kind of a morale compass, but it couldn't solve the problem. Maybe I shouldn't have been so hard with him... I sinking my head down now and put my hands on it.

Then I saw Lee sighed and look sympathy now, as he looking at me and Kenny. "You're right, guys. Let's do this." Lee said lowly with confuse tones as Lilly heard what he said which it made her angry and sad.

"You fucking monsters! All of you!" Lilly screamed as Cath know what will happen next and call to Clem. "Clem, come here!"

The little girl ran to Cath and they standing at the corner of the room. Cath hugged Clem to prevent her from seeing the scene.

Then Lee knell down and grabbed Lilly to pry away from Larry and hold her back.

"No, no, get off me! Don't do this!" Lilly yelled as Lee still hold her back from Larry.

"I'm sorry, Lilly. This is the only way." Lee said and try to reason with her, but she didn't listened and struggles to get back to her dad from Lee's grip.

"Dix? What-" Cath trying to tell something, I know what she gonna tell as I cut off her.

"Just stay there with Clem until it's over." I said with a strictly tone, but not so serious.

When I turned to see Larry, I see his mouth is moving. I was little panicked as run right to him and kick right his face which it made me little better after what he did to my father. Then place my foot on his throat to make sure that he have no chance to get up.

"Let go off me!" Lilly screamed as she get free from Lee's grip and place herself over her dad's body before he grabbed her again and pry her away. Then I see Larry's eyes opens and they ain't look like same what he had before his heart attack.

Shit! Those eyes. "Kenny! Hurry up! He's turning!" I called to Kenny as he picking up a salt-licker and walked to us.

"Move!" Kenny exclaimed as I place away my foot from Larry.

He raises the salt-lick over his head and...

"NOOOOO!" Lilly screamed as Kenny drops the salt lick directly on top Larry's head and it smached which the blood and brain splashed everywhere like Kenny got on his hands, clothes and got little on his face. I got some on my jeans. Fuck, it smells shit now.

Then I looked what we just did as Kenny and Lee did same in chock while Lilly crying over her dad's body. "God help us." Kenny said sadly as he knell down right front of Lilly. "Lilly, I'm sorry-" Kenny tried apologize to Lilly, she slapped Kenny's hand when he was going to place on her shoulder.

"Don't you fucking touch me!" Lilly snapped Kenny with her anger and sad eyes.

Them Lee and I heard Clementine start to crying over Cath's shoulder who looked chock and have a little horror in her eyes.

"Clementine." Lee called her as Cath let her friend go so she can talk with her guardian. While I walked over to Cath who look sympathetic over Lilly has lost her father. I sighed out and look at Larry's body, something inside of me make me feel happy that he's dead now. But still show little sympathy over it and I knell down to Cath's level.

"It feels me better when I've talking some shit about Larry, but I didn't want this to happen." Cary said sadly as I place my hand on her shoulder.

"Me either, Cath. Non of us didn't asked about this, but you need to understand why we had to do this, right?" I asked as Cath nodded slowly and I stand up on my legs.

"We're gonna get out, right? You found a way out?" I heard what Clem said as Lee stand up on his legs and answer back. "We're working on it."

Glad to hear that. I looked at the air conditioner and wonder if there is a way out of here. Then I walked over to Kenny who just stand there and crossing his arms while he looks sadly about what he just did. Lee approached him too and we three talking each other.

Lee looking at Clementine who sat down and curled herself up next to a box as Cath sitting right next to comfort her.

"I know it was necessary… but, I just wish Clem didn't have to witness shit like this. I worry what it's gonna do to her." Lee said and have a sympathy look.

"I know what do you mean. Honestly, I don't know how much will Cath being affected because she maybe is nice girl but have some impulsive and temper just like her brother." I said.

I know Cath will never be traumatized by this shit, but she has no sort of bad thoughts like we chose to kill Larry. I know Emily ain't gonna be happy about this what we did and the girls witness this shit.

"You think maybe we might've been too hasty?" Lee asked to Kenny.

"Only one important thing right now; it's to getting the fuck outta here. We did what we had to." Kenny said sadly.

"It's just the three of us, Lilly's no in condition to help the others." I said and looked at Lilly who still crying over her father's body.

"Considering what just happened, she'd probably side with the St. Johns against us." Kenny said with a skeptical look.

I sent a doubtful glance to Kenny and looking at Lilly now. She will not side with those people who actually are responsible over her dad's dead. Well, who knows that she will never help us when we're in trouble with the St Jones.

"Katjaa, Emily and Duck." Lee mumbled about them with a little fear in his eyes.

"What about them?" Kenny asked as he and I get curious what Lee talking about.

"You don't the St Jones..." Lee said, but couldn't finish the last words as Kenny got little panicked.

"No! They need Katjaa, remember? She's the reason who brought all of us here." Kenny explained.

Exactly and they need Emily too. I know Emily wouldn't do anything stupid to get any kids hurt as the St Jones has Duck.

"Sure and I guess they use Duck as a bargaining chip." Lee said as Kenny nodded.

"We gotta get 'em." Kenny said as I nodded and look at the air conditioner now.

"Guys, how about that, over there?" I said as Lee and Kenny looking at the air conditioner.

"That's exactly what I'm thinking." Lee agreed and smiled at me. "There oughta be an air duct behind this unit. Maybe big enough for one of us to fit through."

Kenny has a uncertain expression on his face. "I don't know, Lee. Seems like a long shot."

"Long shot or not, that's the only option we have now." I said.

"Does the air conditioner come off?" Clem asked and stand as Cath did same.

"We could take it off, if we had something to remove the screws…" Lee said and start to thinking how he gonna screws. "The multi-tool!" He widened his eyes.

Multi-tool? Wait, didn't Danny searched in Lee's pockets after he hit him at the dinner?

"Ehh, Lee... I think the St Jones have already took that thing from your pocket." I sad as Lee start to search his pockets, but didn't found anything. He frowns and sighed. "Dammit."

I smirked then as raise my hand up and a hidden blade shows up from bracelet. " "Luckily that I have these. They may be able to screw these sort of screws." I said as Lee chuckled little. "He-he. I guess you must have been a ninja before."

"Very funny, let's here..." I said and walking to the air conditioner.

I flicking the blade out and uses it to screw one of the screws and takes it off them.

"You got it?" Kenny asked as I nodded. "Yeah, one more and we will be free like a bird." I joked little and screw the second screw with one of my hidden blades. I take it the second screw from the unit. "Alright then, you two can remove it now." I said as Lee and Kenny grabs the air conditioner and pulling it out from the walls.

They set it down on the floors and then we looking at a air duct on the wall. Now we're talking.

"Well, there's our way out. Looks like it'll probably lead right into that back room." Kenny said.

I glancing my eyes at the air duct that is too small for us three to get through. Unless... I looking at the girls and start to think that maybe they can get through, even it's too risky in their age.

"Girls can fit through." I said as Les looking chock about my idea.

But Lee didn't saying anything or objected and he turned to Clementine. He bend down to the little girl's level. "You think you can do this?" Lee said with a uncertain look.

"I'm scared." Clem said with her eyes in fear. "It's alright to be scared." Lee said.

We need you, Clementine." Kenny said as I nodded. "But you will not be alone." I said and turned to Cath.

"I'm brave enough, but truth is... I'm scared being alone." Cath said.

"You two will be alone for just a few minutes. Just try to find something you two can open this door outside of it." I said and she nodded.

When the girls approached us, Lee start to lift Cath up to the air duct and then lift Clementine too. Before they start crawling through the duct. "Cath, you still have your pocket knife?" I asked as Cath reach one of her pocket and show me the knife.

"We will be fine, we watch our backs each other." Cath said as Lee, Kenny and I nodded.

They crawling through into the air duct. Lee was staring at the air duct, hoping that they would be okay. Kenny was now leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, Lilly was still by her dead father's side and I walked over to the door in case if the St Jones catch the girls and bring them back here so I will do a surprise attack with my hidden blades on them as they didn't have searched around me. We heard some noises as we believe they did manage to get outside of this door, but then we heard a gasp. I think it was Clementine which it made us to wide our eyes in worry.

Jesus, please tell me they're alright. I prepare for a attack as I leaned against the wall, right next to the door. Be careful... be careful...

Then we heard a sound from the door, it's opening and it was the girls who seems alright. Clementine look scared now which it made us curious.

"Are you two okay? Did anyone saw you?" I asked.

"No, but there is a man outside." Clementine said.

"I think it was Danny. He just sitting out there and mumbling something weird, kind of creepy." Cath said with a disgusting look.

Kenny goes through the door and I stay by the doorway. I see that Lilly hasn't leave from her father's body yet as Les approached her.

"Lilly, we gotta go." Lee said.

"Leave me alone." Lilly answer while still looking at her father's body and ignored Lee's order.

"Come on, Lilly. It's not safe here." I said as Lilly shoot a glare to me. "Screw you, Axel. I didn't even get to say goodbye as you guys didn't let me." Lilly snapped at me.

What about me? I didn't even get to say more than goodbye to my father. I shot a glare back to her as Lee huffed and shook his head.

"Just go, Axel. I'll be right behind you and Kenny." Lee said and try to calm between me and Lilly.

I looked at Lee and then the girls. I huffing out and start go through the door.

It's time to rescue and give some payback to those animals.

To be continue.

A/N: Well, that was... so messy.

I chose to kill Larry (hate that guy), but I took up some my motives like Axel explained why did they have to do it.

Larry was so dick like he doesn't care anyone but himself and his daughter. He has no right to barking anyone without no reason as Lilly mentioned that it is his "way".

Please review and I will answer back and update more chapters. :)
