Mark: "Come on, Lilly, these are people; people trying to survive just like us! Sister or not! We've got to stick together to survive!"
Kenny: "Look, you've been good to me and my family. You saved Duck from those monsters, and you stood up to Larry at the drugstore. I won't forget that."
Axel: "So, we are going to find another safe place better than this?"
Kenny: "No, we heading to the east, the coast. We will be safe there."
Axel: "Emily and her friends told us that their camp were raid by bunch of assholes. The camp aren't far from here and who knows if those people come here."

Kenny: "Move!"
Lilly: "NOOOOO!"
Axel: "This car's got many boxes full of food and supplies in the trunk."
Lee: "We have to take this, Clementine. We need it to survive."
Axel: "We protect the kids and the other, we respect each other, we don't steal or hurt anyone to get some food and supplies. And that's the rest of all we can to keeping our humanity as long we can and we'll still doing that."
Chapter 31: Ghost Town
Flashback in the motel for two months earlier
Cath was sitting on her seat and reading her comic while Duck did same and Clementine drawing on the ground. Cath notice Axel just walking around on the top of RV instead just sitting on the seat. He looks little worried or something got in his head as Cath start getting curious and stand up from her seat. She walked over to the RV and climbs up the ladder to the top of vehicle. When she got up on the top, Axel notice her and stop walking around.
"Hey, Dix. Why are you just walking around instead focus on the guard?" Cath asked as Axel huffed.
"Look, it just... I don't want you to worry about my guard and..." Axel trying to explained, but he realized that Cath know that's a lie. Then he can't just hide from her anymore and huffed before he talk back. "Okay, listen... do you remember that I was going to break the deal as a drug-dealer?"
Cath nodded and remember the promise to do not tell anyone about that. "Yes, I do. What, it is something problem with that now?" She said curious.
Axel look around of the motel to make sure that there is no one can listen him and Cath and he look at her.
"I was going to break the last deal from a powerful criminal organization, The Kings and that was the same day when everything this shit started. When I and some other nice dudes showed up, they weren't there where they should be there and instead that, they sent a classic killer to kill us without no reason. Before he could do that, the cops shows up and then those walkers shows up and I got away. I don't know why did they sent a person to kill me and the others, but it doesn't matter now." Axel explained as Cath has a misunderstanding expression on her face.
"So what's gonna do with your worried on the guard if it doesn't matter anymore?" Cath asked.
"It was about my friends of the gang where I used to be part of it with them who are worried about or still pissed on me." Axel explained correctly.
"What? You didn't mentioned you have been in a criminal gang before?" Cath asked and look chock now.
"I wouldn't say it is or was a criminal gang." Axel said.
"What would you call then?" Cath asked and have a disbelief expression on her face.
"You don't have to ask me about it, but if our leader... I mean one of our leaders was here and she would have say it is a crime-fight gang. But your sisters, Coleen, my mother, Lee and Carley wouldn't understand her agenda." Axel answered as Cath didn't understand about the last.
"Her agenda?" Cath asked.
"Don't ask about it." Axel said with a serious tone in his voice.
"Sorry, but you're worry about if your friends from a gang will find you and so what then? Because of the secrets about your past?" Cath asked with a hesitant look.
"What do you think? It will be a conflict between this group and my formerly group when they want me back and what if I refused, then BANG and that's it." Axel exclaimed lowly so anyone can't hear him and Cath. "I wasn't and didn't even asked to keep eye on you for Chris."
"Well, you own his life to do that because you got him shot back at the hospital and he sacrificed to distracted the soldiers so we can run away free and peace." Cath said as Axel look at her chock and angry that she start to believe that her brother is might be dead or something about it.
"So, you believe now that your brother could be dead?" Axel asked with anger look.
"No... it just was a... just a expression. I mean... what's the deal with your friends before this mess starting? You mentioned they're might be still pissed on you, right?" Cath exclaimed lowly.
Axel widened his eyes and then huffed before he answer. "Okay then... It was about my mother. After her death, I was going to break the membership between them and me. But they weren't happy about it and just say that I promised to help them to get their goals and solves all of our problems together."
"You mean they had or... have problems too just like you had?" Cath said with a calm tone as Axel nodded.
"Exactly, you don't think I am the only one who have good reasons to being a drug-dealer?" Axel scoffed little as Cath shook her head quickly.
"No, no, I didn't said that or thought about it. But who are these people who you used to be with them and what's the problem do they have?" Cath asked.
Axel wasn't sure if he have to talk about his friends and their personally problems but it doesn't will harm Cath for that.
Axel sighed before he start to talking about the gang. "Our gang call itself "Anti-JJ", we were just only six of us-" But cut of when Cath start scoff. "Just six? Seriously, Dix? And you were just worried when a gang of five people-"
"Cath!" Axel exclaimed lowly with a strictly tone as Cath look guilty now for interrupting. "Sorry."
"Anyway, our two leaders were good to get along, even they shitting each other. One of them was the same person who made this hidden-blades to me, Patrick Sawyer." Axel said and waving up his arms to show the hidden-blades for Cath who look impressive. "He was kind of paranoid and sarcastic, but still loyal and have sometime sympathy. Even he is kind of a good reckless fighter, he's a smart-ass like Doug, but I don't think they would get along each other because of their different ways of humanity. He and his friend and our navigator and hacker, Lance B have problem with a gang of illegal fixers who calls itself V.I.R.U.S, lead by Patrick's rival and cousin, Martin Lynch. These cousins hate and jealous each other because of their intelligently. Patrick and Lance were members of that gang before Anti-JJ."
"But then the power of that gang became struggles between the cousins, like Kenny and Lilly who always argue each other?" Cath assumed and Axel nodded.
"Sort of, but yeah and Martin got his damn gain. Then we have our muscles, Chidike. But we call him Chi for short. He has same problem like me, but for himself like his parents doesn't have enough money for him to going in a college. He can be a violent sometimes, but he's a nice dude. I wonder if he's back to his family now, I hope." Axel explained.
"Wow, I guess he want to save his future life, but now it gets wrong because of walkers." Cath commented.
"No doubt about it." Axel agree.
"So, who is the another leader of your group?" Cath asked.
"... Well, she's really the badass and toughest I ever meet. Her name is Jessica Jenkins and she's might be cold kind like Lilly sometimes, but she is logical and tricky person. Despite that... she is cool and bother someone who have serious problem like if she would help someone and some dangerous people like Amanda and Larry." Axel explained and notice he blushing too.
Cath chuckled little about that. "He, he, Chris were so popular by girls like Kathy, Megan and Verity who helped him to defend against that witch." Cath said and chuckled.
Axel smile and looking at her with a hesitant glance. "Well, she's not looking after boys if you ask me about it. Plus, she's busy in her business until it's done forever." Axel said as Cath stop chuckled.
"So, what's her problem in her life?" Cary asked.
"Well, her father was a film producer and a business man. One day before all of this, there was another dangerous criminal gang shows up and ruin his business." Axel told about the story about Jessica's past as Cath getting curious.
"What? Did her father had a lot of deals with other gangs?" Cath asked and Axel shook his head.
"No, not really like that. But I don't know what's the deal between Jessica and her enemies. But I can't tell you her solutions to her problems. That's all I can keep her respect, for now I guess." Axel said and sink his head as Cath smirked now which the hunter start looking at her with a curious look. "What so funny?"
"It sounds like you and Jessica are more than friends and companions." Cath chuckled as Axel look annoying now and blushing immediately.
Axel start to shaking now and exclaiming to Cath. "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT! WE'RE JUST PARTNERS!"
"Suuure, plus Chris did said to me that partner mean more than teamwork and-" Cath scoffed, but cut of by Axel. "It is just TEAMWORK, no more!" Axel exclaimed with an annoying look and blushing more.
"Okay, okay, but I will keep those thoughts in mind, so who is the last member of your gang?" Cath said and stop teasing as Axel sighed and look normal now.
He huffed before answer. "Well, there was a another teenager girl, she's smart one like Jessica, but have a temper. Lauren Turner." Axel said as Cath look chock now and he notice of that.
"What? Lauren? Is she part of your gang?" Cath said chock and glare over her name.
Axel look chock that it seems like Cath know Lauren which it make him curious. "What, do you know her? I don't think she don't have any contact with a little girl like you." Axel said.
Cath look at Axel before she look away with skeptical look. "I don't know how I going to explain, but she's a student on Stone Mountain and one of Emily's classmate too." Cath explained as Axel widened his eyes in chock.
"What?" Axel exclaimed in chock and can't really believe it that one of his gang are classmate of Cath's sister. "She didn't mentoined that. I mean I was with her in the gang almost over a couple of years and never knew about it."
"Well, luckily Emily or her friends are not popular to that girl because like you said: she have temper, but barely didn't pick a fight with anyone. Emily have never fight with her, but believe that Lauren isn't nice girl." Cath explained.
"Well, who knows that she could be with your sister and the others students now." Axel said.
Cath huffing and look around outside of the walls. She wonder where her family are now. "Dix, do you think that everything will be back to normal?" Cath asked and Axel just look around with a hesitant look.
"I don't know, Cath. But even if the walkers stop moving around tried to eat us, I don't think normal things will not be again after what Larry did to my father and who knows there is some other survivors who have done horrible things. So it will be kind of forever, but it doesn't mean that we have to give up. Not in my life. Do you?" Axel answered and asking Cath about fight to survive.
Cath shooking her head. "Of course not, I'm with you." Cath said as Axel smiled over her answer.
When they still talking each other, unknown for them, Lilly was in the RV and have an opened window which she had listened what Axel and Cath talking about. Lilly got a disbelief and skeptical expression on her face which it will lead to distrust Axel in the process.
2 months later, three days later after the St Johns's defeat.
There was quiet at the motor inn, Kenny fixing on the RV, the kids are reading comics, Lee and Carley were talking each other at the balcony. Doug was focus on the wall, Axel fixing the meats from the animals, Emily is with the kids, Ben and Travis are on the watch on the top of the RV because Lilly is in her room and still sad over her father's dead. Some of group was the same about Mark's fate. Lilly and Kenny haven't argue each other no more since after at the dairy.
Then Travis and Ben stands up from their seats and start aiming with their rifles at the woods, Ben looks nervous now while Travis still on the focus, but he was worry if something gonna happen.
"Guys, we think we saw something or... somebody in the woods." Travis exclaimed as the whole group getting surprised and worried now.
Lee, Carley, Kenny, Lilly and Axel was searching around in the woods outside of the motel. Then they stop when Axel raise up his handto give the other signal.
"Stay there, I'm think see one or more of them." Axel said lowly and aiming with his crossbow at some shrubs right front of him as he start to sneak.
After few seconds, an arrow appear from shrubs, but Axel dodge quick as Carley firing her gun and hit someone.
"Fuck! We gotta retreat!" Someone screaming and the person shows up start to run away from the group.
Then it was some people who came out their hideout and run away from the group. Axel shoot his arrow and hit one of them on the chest. The others keep running away.
"Shit, it must be those bandits who attacked me, Axel and Mark earlier at the dairy." Lee said.
"Fuck, now they have find us. I'm gonna fix the RV quickly and-" Kenny said, but cut of by Lilly. "We're not leaving from the motel! We are safe there than out here and your stupid dreams at the coast!" Lilly exclaimed and walk away back to the motel as Axel glare at her.
"You need to make easy with her, Kenny. She's just lost her dad, you know." Carley said who doesn't know what really happened in the meat locker.
"Hey, she snapped you too, all of us. Is this what you think it's easy for her?" Kenny shot back.
"Not anymore." Axel said and walk after her as Lee, Carley and Kenny look each other and realize that will be another argument again, but this time between Lilly and Axel instead Kenny.
When they arrived at the motel, Doug opened the gate and look curious and worried now. "What happened back in the woods? Did anyone get hurt?" Doug asked.
"We're fine." Lilly said coldly.
"We're not fine until we find a solution to our problem!" Axel exclaimed as the others was behind him and Lilly turned to Axel with a glare.
"What do you have in your mind, Axel? Leave the motel like that just because we're scared by bunch of assholes who wanna to kill us?!" Lilly snapped.
"We all are scared." Kenny shot back.
"Some of us more than you are. We have a routine." Lilly said coldly.
"Fuck routine! This is about our lives!" Axel yelled as Emily place her hand on his shoulder. "Calm down, Axel." Emily said and trying to calm the hunter boy down, but he keep his anger at Lilly.
"Look Lilly, I think he's right there. We can't just ignore these bandits in the woods. I know what are you thinking, fight against them to protect this place, I get it. But some of us aren't ready to deal with that situation yet and it's too risky for the kids." Lee said as Lilly glare at him.
"Damn right. I'm not gonna put my family in a damn war zone." Kenny agree.
"We killed just two of them and most of them have escape, they will not come back because they're scared now." Lilly said.
"You're really think so? I don't think they will give up so easily and someday they will be back here with their full force." Axel scoffed.
"The bandits isn't just one problem, Lilly. The drugstore doesn't have much supplies left there." Kenny exclaimed.
"I'm so tired that you guys who always fucking talking about leaving the motel behind after we've worked much out here to keep i line!" Lilly exclaimed in an anger tone.
"Keep in line? Back in the dairy: You're just only respect the St Johns's privacy and maybe that's cost Mark's and Larry's lives if you didn't listened to us about the barn." Axel said.
"Axel-!" Emily exclaimed in a warning tone, but cut of by Lilly who look now very angry and boiling in the head.
"FUCK YOU! YOU THINK WE WILL BE SAFE OUTSIDE THAN HERE?! SCREW YOU, IT WILL COST SOME OF US BECAUSE OF YOU!" Lilly screamed and smash her door to close hard.
Everyone was so surprised by her outburst as the kids except Duck are scared by her, especially what she did in the barn, killed Danny.
"Nice working, Axel." Emily said and look disappointed now at Axel.
But Axel just ignore her expression and walk away while he exclaimed loudly. "Screw her! She agreed with her dad about what he did to my father!"
Axel walk back to his work on his preys while some of other do what they did earlier except Lee and Carley just talking each other about the group's status.
"Jesus, I've never see Lilly so angry. I know she just lost her dad, but she doesn't need to barking at Axel even he blaming her that was her fault what happened with her father and Mark." Carley said.
"Me either, Carley. I'm really worry about Lilly, but I don't know if we can trust her." Lee said as Carley looking at him with a surprise look.
"What do you mean that we can't trust her?" Carley asked.
Lee huffed that she doesn't know about what he, Axel and Kenny have done in the meat locker and Danny's fate. He believe that it's not the good time to tell her about Larry now, but Danny sounds logically for Carley about why they can't trust Lilly.
"Back in the barn, we took Danny down and he was trapped and unarmed. He was no threat to us no more. I decided to spare his life because he has already enough." Lee explained.
"That was good choice you did, but what have do with Lilly?" Carley asked with a misunderstand expression on her face.
Lee looking down with a sad and sympathy face. Then he huffing and looking at Carley. "Lilly just shot him, through his head." Lee answered and Carley getting chock and surprised by hear what he said.
"What?" Carley said and gasped. "Why did she do that?"
"I'm not sure, but I guess she believe that it was St Johns's fault over her dad's dead. Maybe Lilly just overreacted, but that doesn't mean that we can just forget her actions." Lee said.
Carley was little quiet now and start remember what Axel said to her that she's vengeful over St Johns.
"I didn't really understand what Axel really talking about back at station wagon. But it doesn't mean we distrust her now." Carley said.
"I didn't say that, but Lilly need to get over her dad's dead soon or... well, if she keep going like barking at us and don't focus the problem with those bandits, she can't be our leader no more." Lee said.
"You're maybe right." Carley said and sent a glance at Lilly's door before she look back to her boyfriend. "How is Clementine doing? Is she still upset about the station wagon?" Carley asked and wonder about Clementine's feelings about the food from station wagon.
"I don't know, she didn't ask me about it after that night. But she wear a hoodie sweater from the station wagon and that will remind her about it." Lee said and have a worry look.
"She will get over it, don't worry about her. I don't like it either too, but we probably will make it without the food from station wagon." Carley said and cheer Lee up.
"Same here. I know we might have ruined someone's life, but let's just hope if the was abandoned." Lee said.
"What do you think, Lee? About Kenny's plans at the coast?" Carley asked.
"I'm not sure, but it sounds like a smart idea. Not because we're assume that walkers can not swim except if threat people too. If we have do this, Lilly won't be happy and I don't want to happen with you, Clem and the group on the trip to the coast." Lee answered.
"Well, we have been in dangerous situations before and I guess it won't be easy for something or someone who wanna take us down." Carley scoffed as Lee chuckled little.
"He, he, yeah you're right. And who said who want to mess a pretty reporter with a gun?" Lee teasing with his girlfriend as she crossed her arms around him to hug.
"Don't judge me about it, big guy." Carley scoffed and reach her lips to Lee's.
They were going to kiss each other, but- "Lee! Carley! Can you two come just in a second, please?" Clementine shouted to them as they seperatingfrom each other and blushing too.
"S-Sure Clem, we're coming!" Lee answered and look at Carley who did same to him. "Let's do this when... she can't..." Lee trying tell to Carley, but she put her finger on his mouth to stop talking. "I know, don't worry about it. It will not take long to wait." Carley said as she and Lee smiled each other and they start walk to Clem while they holding their hands.
Present time. One week after the St Johns's defeat.
Axel's POV
We're running on the streets in Macon. I carry mine crossbow and mine red backpack on my back, Lee carry a rifle and Kenny carry a pistol and backpack behind on his back. While we running, I looking around to see if there's some walkers on our way and there was no one there or the living either.
I guess we're in lucky now that last time there was many walkers in Macon and we barely gotta away from them after had get some supplies.
Then we're staying right at a corner of a building and I peeks to check and see if there were any walkers on our way to the pharmacy. No roaming around and I steps out from the corner as Lee and Kenny follow after me. We are standing in the middle of the road and there's nothing there except some wrecked cars and a truck which is block on road, right next to the pharmacy. There was a military helicopter had crashed on the roof which the entry had fall down.
"Everything looks clear, but can't say for sure." I said and still looking around.
"Don't sweat it, kid. It might be our lucky day." Kenny said with a smile as I nodded slowly.
I notice Lee look skeptical, but turn to smile like Kenny. "Yeah, this might actually go smoothly." He said as we start walking to the pharmacy.
On the way to the drugstore, we checking closer to another abandoned buildings, but it looks empty and dark inside which is too risky to go in there. We continue walk to the drugstore.
Lee and I heard Kenny sighed pain on his stomach where he got bullet there by Andy. "Mmph… man."
"How holding you up, man?" I asked.
"I'm fine, Axel. Don't worry about me." Kenny answered as I look hesitant at him.
I don't think he's able today, but it's too late for arguing about it.
"Guys, where do you all come down on staying or going?" Kenny asked.
He asked to us about if we decide to leave the motor inn.
"You mean packing up the motel and getting in the RV?" Lee asked correctly.
"Yeah. We've been talking about it but, you made up your mind yet?" Kenny asked again.
"We should go. Motel's run its course and it's not safe." Lee answered and agree with Kenny's plan.
He's right. It's suicide to stay longer in at that place because of the bandits. "What about you, Axel?" Kenny asked as I look at him.
"I'm saying we're leaving. I don't like run away like a coward from bunch of enemies, but it's not good time to play and put our group in trouble." I answered and agree as Kenny nodded.
But truth is, I don't think there's no any boats at the coast. Despite that, it might be better to find another good place on our trip, better than that motel.
"You're damn right it has. We pile into the RV and don't pull over until we see water. And if Lilly's dead set on staying, then..." Kenny said, but couldn't tell what will happen if Lilly still say no.
What? I looking at Kenny with a hesitant look. Leave her behind with these bastards from the woods? Well, I don't think I have any problem for that, but some others doesn't want leave Lilly behind.
"...well, that's the way it goes. I mean, you both snapped each other about the problem with the bandits." Kenny said to me.
"I tried to making senses for Lilly, but still no effect on her in process." I said as Lee shook his head.
"Accusing her over her father's and Marks dead isn't the solution, Axel." Lee said.
"I didn't accused her, I just tried to make her learning about her mistakes so she can't implement them again." I explained.
When we got closer to the drugstore, we stay right front of the truck and remember how it was the last time. We didn't got so much supplies and this time we will get more than before.
"Okay then, let's do this. Over the rig, into the pharmacy and we scrap together whatever supplies are in there." Kenny explained the plan to get the supplies as I nodded and Lee has a questionable look. "We didn't leave much in there." He said.
No doubt about it. I sighed and approached the ladder on the side of the truck. "Well, we're outta options. Go back to the motel with nothing isn't the option." I scoffed and start climbing up the ladder to the top of the truck. When I reach the top of the truck, I looking around the city from here and everything look clear. "Okay, guys. Come up here." I exclaimed as Kenny start to climbing up the ladder.
When Kenny reach up the top, I heard something had goes off. "What was that Kenny?" I asked.
"The ladder's come loose." Kenny said as I widened my eyes and came right next to Kenny to check on the ladder, I see one of screws had snaps off and just hanging.
"Shit. I don't think the ladder can't hold your weight up." I said.
"No kidding." Lee said. "Let me see what I can find something to get up."
"Sure, we'll just waiting here and watch your back too." I said and nodded.
"Don't take too long, it's getting afternoon soon and we don't wanna have trouble here now." Kenny said.
Lee nodded and walk away from the truck to find something that he can get up.
"So, is Cath and Emily still upset with you and us about take that stuff from the station wagon?" Kenny asked.
I huffed and close my eyes to think. Well, they getting understands now, but still worried about if we have ruined someone's life. I opened my eyes again and look at Kenny with questionable look.
"I think they understands now, I guess. But that's making them to feel like they're part of our decision." I said.
"Don't worry about it. We didn't have a much of choice." Kenny said as Lee grabbed a hook with cable of a winch on the hood of the military jeep.
Smart with that, professor. Seems like a wrecked car with a winch can be useful sometimes.
Lee approached to truck with the hook as I notice Kenny got a mixed of sad and worry expressions on his face. "Lilly's not doing so good, huh?"
Tell me about that.
"Well, we killed her dad." Lee said.
"We did kill her dad and that's I'm worry about if it will lead one of us to die soon or later." I said and have a bad feeling about Lilly.
As Lee sent a doubtful glance to me. "What? You think she's going to kill one of us?" Lee asked curious.
"I don't know, but she didn't try help you from being killed by Andy back at the dairy. Cath have told me that you called her for help, right?" I said and Lee start to sink his head down with a worry look.
"I don't know. You maybe have right, but let's try to cheer her up in that case." Lee suggest as Kenny got a skeptical expression on his face.
"Cheer up with her isn't probably the good time now when we've already agreed to leave the motel and that will make her more hazard to us three." Kenny said.
Lee sighed and attaches the hook under the truck. He walk back to the military jeep and activate the winch control and stands back as the jeep pulls itself to the truck.
Now we're talking.
"Your girl still upset with you for agreeing to take that stuff from the station wagon?" Kenny asked about Clementine and her feelings about the station wagon too.
Lee just standing there before he answer. "I think she understands."
"Hope so. Not like we had much of a choice." Kenny said.
"If you guys didn't notice, she "speaking" on her walkie-talkie so much than usually." I said as the jeep bump right into the wheels of the truck and stop moving.
Lee boots up on the hood of the jeep. "She just probably traumatized from that room in the barn. It will give anyone nightmares." Lee said.
"Maybe, but Clem seems happy when she talking with her walking-talkie. That's new to me." I said.
"It's her own business. Let's don't interrupt her, okay. She has been through enough after the St Johns and these bandits." Lee said.
I sighed before I answer back. "You're right there." I answered and glare over about these bandits. "By the way, these bandits have attacked us more than one time. I know it has been a little while ago after the last attack, but I don't think they've giving up yet." I said and have a worry expression on my face.
"Yeah and they hit most of our laundry. Our clothes got some holes then." Kenny said. "Guess what guys: Duck was asking about that guy at Hershel's farm last night."
What? Seriously? After three months and he brought up that now again?
I widened my eyes at Kenny in chock. "Really? I wasn't sure it phased him." Lee said and look chock too.
"Off course it did." Kenny said with a sad look.
"Still, I mean no offense, but you said nothing or nobody can't phase him back at the farm." Lee said as Kenny chuckled little as I did same.
Yeah, I even told him what Duck name mean, like quacking or ducking.
"He's a tough kid, you know. But it starting to add up." Kenny said with a worry expression.
"It wasn't his fault, Kenny. Hershel's son is one of how many, now? We've all seen a lot worse, like this goddamn dairy." I said and try to cheer Kenny up.
"Thanks, Axel. But still... all I worried about that he's getting to believe that was his fault." Kenny said and reaches his hand out to Lee as I looking hesitant at him.
Hold on. Must it be Kenny who will be the one to help Lee to get up on the truck?
I notice Lee look hesitant too about Kenny's injury on his stomach. "You sure you're up for this?" He asked.
"Lee, I'm fine. I've got this. Gimme your hand." Kenny answered and really sure about he can handle.
Lee grabs Kenny's hand and the fisherman tries o pull him up, but then suddenly he sigh in pain. "Agh!" Kenny lose his grip on Lee hand as the teacher falls.
"Lee!" I yelled in chock and he landed on the hood of the jeep which it case a noise. I stand up and take my crossbow from my back to aiming around. There was no walker around, yet.
"Jesus, Kenny!" I exclaimed lowly.
"I'm so sorry." Kenny defended.
"You almost alert for the walkers." Lee said and glare at his friend.
"Hey, I already said I'm sorry. I mean have you been shot before?" Kenny complained back.
I sighed and ignored what they said each other. Great, now they just arguing during our job to get some supplies and-
Then I heard someone screaming which it came far away us and the drugstore. I notice Lee and Kenny still arguing each other and didn't heard the scream. I have to stop this.
"Guys! Stop! Do you hear that?" I said as Lee and Kenny stop arguing each other and look at me until-
"HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!" Lee and Kenny heard that scream too and start looking at the direction that I looking at.
To be continued.
A/N: Well, good to know little about Axel's past and the gang he used be part of that.
Oh, Lance B and Chidike "Chi" belongs to Destiny Kid.
And Lauren Turner belongs to WalkingDeadRox.
Letter Hacks:
Lauren and Emily was students from Stone Mountain just like Ben and Travis.
Axel didn't told Cath or Emily about the events from "This is Survival". It will explain why he didn't in the end of that story.
One more chapter will come today or tomorrow because it's short.
Please review and I will answer back.
I hope you fans really enjoy this chapter. ;)
