Chapter 44: Next Stop: the Atlantic

Axel's POV

I standing right front of the train outside and watching the view of the city where there we're heading to; Savannah. It has been some hours after the tanker and the herd of walkers and it's getting dark now. I see the city has no light and seems like there is no sign of the living just like in Macon before me and the group meet the others. Lee has took over driving the train. Kenny and the others eating some fresh apples that Emily picked before the raid in the motel.

Maybe I go check with Lee and talk about when we will arrived in Savannah, I know we've already talking about our plan as it's Kenny's plan but what if there is no boat and what then? We need think about plan B.

I opened the door as Lee noticed me, then I saw Clementine sitting on the second seat and sleeping in peace.

"Eh, Lee?" I said.

"Yeah?" Lee answer back.

"About our plan? What if there is no boat? We need to think about the plan B before we found out that the coast is empty." I explained.

Lee just looked down and it seems he doesn't know how to answer that. "I don't know, but we probably gonna need medicine for Doug and Omid. We don't know how bad is it in the city, but that's the only our spot and that's another reason why we heading to Savannah." Lee replied.

I sighed out. He's right. We don't have even antibiotic or something medical like that. Then I wonder about to try find Clem's parents. I looking at Clem if she really sleeping so she can't hear what we talking about her parents.

"And what about Clementine's parents? Are we really going to try to find them in a destiny place like this one?" I inquired and pointed at Savannah.

Lee frowns by heard about Clementine's parents and close his eyes while he sighed.

Did he lied to her or change his mind?

"Honestly, I'm really want to find her parents but after what happened with Mark, Travis, Katjaa... and Duck; we need focus on our group's safety for now, especially when we have two wounded men now and it will be strict if we gonna split out like we gonna find a bout and medicine while the rest try to find Clem's parents." Lee explained and look little sad for can't try to find Clementine's parents. "It will might cost some of our lives if we gonna do this. So we have to focus on the boat and medicine."

He made a good logically sense. But...

"How you gonna explain to her when there is no time to find her parents?" I asked.

"I... don't know. But just leave that thought to me, I'm will talk with her later." Lee replied as Kenny came into the cab as we stop talking each other about the boat plan.

Kenny looking at the city through the window. "Next stop; the Atlantic." Kenny said lowly with a smile, but still in depression over his family's death.

We'll see if there is some boats at the coast.

"We have to find a boat. We just have to." Lee said.

"We will." Kenny agree and nodded.

I see Kenny still look gloomy.

"You'll be alright." I cheer Kenny up.

"I'll be alive, I guess. Blood in my heart, blood in my brain at least." Kenny said.

"We'll leave you to your thoughts." Lee said and approached Clem who still sleeping on the second seat. "She's out cold like I never seen."

You can say that. I wonder-

Then we heard a buzzing sound which it come from Clementine's backpack.

What the hell was that?

Lee reach his hand into the backpack and he pick up the broken walkie-talkie? Wait, isn't supposed to be broken?

"Hel-..." We heard someone's talking through the radio now as I and Kenny approached Lee and getting curious and surprised.

"What the...?" Lee mumbled in shock.

"Can't wait until you get here to Savannah, Clementine. I've got your parents right here, and you be sure to find me whether Lee wants you to or not. Now, what I need-" The unfamiliar voice sounds like a man, but he stopped talking and turn off.

"What the fuck?" I exclaimed lowly in shock.

"Holy shit..." Lee mumbled in shock and horror too.

"I thought that fucking thing was broken." Kenny said and looked surprised and shock.

"So did I." Lee said.

"Me too. But how long has it been working again? When did..." I inquired, but stop spooking and looking at Clem who still sleeping and didn't got attention by her secret "friend". "How long did she talk with this guy? And why did she keep that secret for her own?"

I feel little disappoint and betrayal by Clem for not telling us about this. But better not being angry at her because she's so eager to find her parents and that guy in the radio probably used that advantage.

"Well, she better explain later. All we know that someone knows where we're headed." Kenny said and glancing at the city.

He's right there. Someone is waiting for us. But who and why?

"Who the fuck?" Lee mumbled as he looks angry for somebody's used Clem to get some information about us and say he got her parents too.

"I don't know. But I doubt we're going to be happy when we find out." Kenny said firmly and glaring at the radio.

"I don't like this, guys. We should start get into the city in the morning, tomorrow. It's risky go out in the middle of night when we have a goddamn stalker." I said with an anger tone as Lee and Kenny nodded to agree with me.

We looking at Clementine and then at the city. Now we know walkers isn't just one thing we should worry about. Someone's watching at us and want something with Clementine, but I will make sure that fucker will not step his foot on the ground where which we will standing on.

To be continued

End of Long Road Ahead


Clementine: "Can't I just hold it?"

Lee: "Not now, Clementine. Maybe later, okay?"

Clementine: "Okay..."


Cath: "Who was that guy in the radio who have been talking with Clem?"

Axel: "I don't know, but my criminal paranoia say that he's not friendly."


Christa: "I don't know how longer he can keep on like this. If his leg gets any worse, we're going to have to carry him."

Kenny: "Or leave him."


Axel: "You left two helpless little girls behind with the walkers!"


Emily: "Doug and Omid is getting worse now and I don't have any antibiotic. We need to find some medicine before we're going to find a boat."

Carley: "I don't think it will be easy, Em. All what we saw outside are pretty cleaned up like all of tires of cars is gone and it wasn't so many walkers as we thought it should just like in Macon."


The radio: "If I were you, I'd get out of these streets. Now."

Lee: "Who the hell is this?


Carley: "So when where you going to ask Clem about that guy in the radio?"


Axel: "Hey! HEEEY! You come back here, I'll kill you! You understand?! I will hunt you down, and kill you!"
