Chapter 51: Hatching a Plan
Axel's POV
It's been a little later after we brought a doctor to our group and found a boat in the shed on the backyard. We all have gathered in the living room except Kenny and Ben who working on the boat while the girls is playing each other in upstairs. Some of us including me sitting on the sofa and chairs while Lee walking around to wait something new from Kenny or Vernon who came here and joined with us.
How could be taking so long to search around a boat? I rubbed my forehead and thinking. I hope that was good idea to let Ben take my place to help Kenny as he himself told me and Lee need to rest after we've been through so mush today.
Tim, Benjamin and Molly are hanging around by the boarded up window as it was okay for now to have them around with us. But why do they want to stay with us?
Then Lee stopped walking and stand right forward with a concern look. "Will Omid and Doug be okay?" Lee asked to Vernon as the old man's face looked worriedly. "As well as can be expected under the circumstances. Doug's arm is gonna be alright, but for now he can't be helpful over one or two weeks. And Omid, he's the worst. His leg got a real infection and running a fever." Vernon explained which it made Christa looked more worry about her boyfriend as Emily placed her hand on the lady's shoulder to comfort.
Damn...
"Without antibiotics..." Vernon still explain, but cut off by Molly when she jump off the window and stand on the floor. "Will you quit pacing? You're making everyone nervous." Molly said.
As Carley sent a doubtful glance to her and the brothers. "Why are you guys even still here when you three have a car outside?" Carley inquired.
"Let's drop it, okay? Look, guys; I know we have bad conversation back in the street, but I think we need help each other to get our own vehicles working like we need gas for our car and I'm sure you need something for your boat. You don't think that boat will still working after it has been three months without nobody didn't touch that thing." Tim replied.
I glare at him for his idea to help each other, but then I looked down as he got a point there about the boat. Hmm, I think he has right there. We don't even know that boat will still work. But how-
Then we heard the backdoor it's open and it was Kenny and Ben who came back after finished looking the boat over. I see Kenny looks gloomy now, but not desperation this time. Wonder what's he got to say about the boat.
"Well? How's going with the boat?" Lee asked as we getting curious now.
"You want the good news or the bad news?" Kenny asked.
Everyone was speechless and don't know which of news should we know first. For me, I should take bad news but after we have been trough today, I think we can take the good news.
"I think we can all use some good news." Lee replied.
"Good news is the boat's seaworthy enough. In pretty good shape, mostly." Kenny said.
"Mostly?" Carley asked and looks curiously at Kenny. "That's the bad news. Gas tank's empty and her battery's dead. We need to fix both before she's taking us any place." Kenny replied.
"Well how are we supposed to get all that stuff?" Christa asked.
I see everyone was quiet and don't know where we gonna start to find anything what we need for our wounded friends and the boat. Like Benjamin said, this whole city is pretty cleaned up... wait a minute... I wide my eyes that I got a maybe dangerous idea but there's no other options. I jumped off my seat.
"Sounds like Crawford is the only place were we can get everything what we need. It might be risky, but that's the only option we got left." I spoke up as some of the group looked understandable at me.
But I noticed Vernon have a serious look and it seems he doesn't like that idea. "Now hold on a minute." Vernon grumbled.
"Sure we have to try." Christa supports my idea and stands up out of the sofa. "If there are people left in this city who are still alive, who still have supplies... what harm can it do to ask?"
Well, now here comes the risk...
"Trust me, you don't know these people. I do. Me and my group were used to be part of them before their drastic rules shows up. You showing up with a wounded man? Might as well put a noose around his neck. They don't exactly welcome children, the elderly or even the sick people with open arms either." Vernon explained which Christa, Carley and Emily looked horror in their eyes by learning about such a horrible society.
"Jesus. T-that's awful..." Emily said horrified. "You kidding me? I mean, what the hell kind of a place are we talking about here?" Carley inquired and looks disgusted.
"The worst kind. But like what Axel just said, there's no other choice we have." Tim replied.
"And just how exactly do you figure we do this?" Kenny inquired as I sitting down on my seat again and sighed.
"Well, what I heard about that place, they're not friendly to tourists like us." I spoke.
"That's putting it mildly." Molly said.
"Oh what fucking neighborhood they are." Kenny mumbled and looked disgusted.
"But we can try to sneak in there undetected." I suggested as Lee widened his eyes that he has got something in his head.
"Vernon, you mentioned that those sewers go all over town, right?" Lee asked.
"Yeah, when you mentioned that it might actually be a way. I know the sewer system runs beneath Crawford like the back of my hand." Vernon said.
"So let me guess; we pass under the perimeter and right into the middle of that place through sewers. We'll come up from underneath them, take em by surprise, grab what we need and get out before they even knew what hit em." I explained as Lee nodded.
"That's… actually not the worst idea I've ever heard. I mean, it's close, but, I don't know, maybe it can work." Molly said with a happy smile.
"It'll definitely work." Tim said.
"Count me in. Something tells me that we will kick some asses of these bastards." Benjamin said with a smirk.
Hmm, that reminds me back in Atlanta when I, Chris and our friends were planing to sneak through sewers to get supplies from the military truck. It is little different, but it seems reasonable.
"I've thought about it before, just never had the people to do it. So, if we all work together, we could pull it off." Vernon said.
Kenny crosses his arms over his chest and look skeptical at Vernon. "And what do you want in return for all this help you're giving us?" Kenny asked.
"Crawford doesn't just have what you need for your boat, they're also well stocked with medical supplies; medicine that my people could use, just as yours could." Vernon explained.
That's sounds fair for allies.
"We can do this. We have to!" Christa exclaimed.
"So it's decided then?" I asked and ready for anything when the whole group are.
"We can do this, I know it!" Lee said loudly.
"Hell yeah we can." Kenny agreed as Carley and Emily nodded.
"If there's a hope to get Doug and Omid feel better, we have to take that chance." Emily stated.
"I don't know, Emily. I mean what about the risk? Like what if something goes wrong." Ben said and looked nervous.
I sighed by his statement. Oh, like when he were "froze up" back in the street and then put the girls in danger? It will probably happen something like that again in Crawford if he screw up.
"I don't know about you kid, but I'd rather take a chance on doing something than just sitting around and waiting to die." Kenny said. "That boat out there's an answered prayer; we just gotta push a little bit farther." Are you in or out?" Kenny retort and Ben didn't answered instead he looked down nervously.
"We should go tonight, under cover at dark. I'll go let my people know and give you some time to prepare. I'll be back before midnight." Vernon said and walk to the door.
"Be careful." Emily said.
"That's how I'm still alive." Vernon said and walk out the door.
Well, I'm glad that we have a plan. Now I feel we all need a little rest.
"Hold on there. There's some things left we've forgot." Emily added.
Everybody look at her. What things we forgot?
"What is it?" Carley asked.
"How do we even know where they store their supplies?" Emily asked.
Well, that was a good question. Crawford seems a little too big place to sneak everywhere and that can take a whole night before we all got what we need.
"We three used to watch them from one of the bell towers just outside the perimeter. We've seen them carrying all kinds of stuff into that old Catholic School off of the town square." Molly said.
"She's right. That school is good place to use as a kind of supply depot." Benjamin said.
"How'd you know that?" Christa asked.
"Me and my brother was students in that school during our first grades. We two knows the way in and way out. If you guys need some guides then ask us, but we need gas too for our car. So deal?" Tim said.
I see some of us is little skeptical and wasn't sure about Tim's offer. I don't know if I can trust them yet, but they will be useful to guide us into that old school. I jumped off my seat and say, "Deal."
Tim smile at me as Benjamin and Molly just nodded to respond.
"Are you gonna tell him or not?" Benjamin asked.
Tell me what?
"Yeah, but aren't you and your friend gonna check on your girls first?" Tim said and looked at me and Lee.
Oh yeah, I have to tell them about the plan to get stuff from Crawford. They ain't gonna probably like that plan and worse, they wanna help us too.
"Yeah, you're right. Thanks for mention." Lee said as he and I went to the upstairs.
But when we turned around to the upstairs, we saw the girls were sitting on the upstairs. What the? Why are they doing there?
"We told you to stay in your room, both of you. How long have you two been there?" Lee said with disappointing look.
Wait, did they listened our plan?
"Is it gonna be dangerous?" Clem asked worriedly.
"Just what going to be dangerous?" I asked as Cath shook her head. "You know what we talking about." Cath referred about Crawford.
I sighed and looked down. They heard.
I looking at them again as Lee say, "I can't lie you, girls. Yeah, it's gonna be dangerous. But it's the only way to get things we need to make Doug and Omid better, and get the boat working. That's why we have to do this. Do you two understand?" Lee replied.
Cath nods in acknowledgment while Clem looked down with a sadly look. "I don't want anyone else to die." Clem said.
"Neither anyone in this group don't want too, Clem. But you must understand when there's no other way and we have to take that kind of risk." I said.
Cath placed her on Clem's shoulder to comfort her. "Come on, we should be ready." Cath said as Clem nodded with a smile. "Yeah." Clem respond which I widened my eyes in disbelief as Lee did too.
"Eh... excuse me?" I inquired and crossed my arms over my chest.
"We're gonna get ready to head out with you guys." Cath replied as I closed my eyes and shook my head.
No way! It's too dangerous for children like the girls in Crawford. Who knows if we got caught by these bastards and they will be probably the last thing to see them for the girls.
"Cath, I don't think you two should go with us." I said.
Cath raised her eyes in disbelief and then looks little disappointment by my answer.
"What? Hold on, you guys are just gonna leave us here again?!" Cath inquired.
Me or Lee didn't answer back to her which it made her little angry and annoying now. "OH, this is bullshit!" Cath exclaimed. "You know what, go head and try to force us to stay here alone, but we will go with no matter what!"
I narrows my eyes at Cath and her stubborn.
She gotta kidding me! This is getting a little too far when we talking about a horrified place like Crawford that there's no allow for children to live there.
"Hey, slow down there." Lee tried to calm Cath.
"Lee, please. We want to help and you say we're a big help, remember?" Clementine said as Lee looks little quiet and hesitant.
Yeah, but that was before we arrived in Savannah and-
"Molly said Crawford is the only place left in Savannah that still has people. That means it must be where my mom and my dad are, right?" Clementine retort.
I shook my head and sighed.
There's no way her parents could be there. I don't think they would expose with people like Crawford, Save-lots bandits, the Pack or the Kings either.
"Clementine, I don't think we can't find them in Crawford." Lee said which it made Clem look worry the hope to find her parents is getting lower now.
"Why?" Clem asked.
"Because they're good people and Crawford is a bad place run by bad people." Lee replied.
"What Lee saying your parents wouldn't or refuse to get along with these guys." I said.
"How'd you know them? You never have meet them as you mentioned back in the train." Clementine said.
I raised one of my eyes and say, "Well, they raised you and Chi, right?" Lee nodded as Clem smile at me. Then I looking at Cath who still look unhappy on me and Lee. "Girls, we need you two to stay here and help Doug to watch Omid while we're gone. It'd be safer than outside."
Then Cath's anger look turns into a little nervous look. "But what if it get something more worse with him while you're gone?" Cath asked as I look questionable at her.
"What do you mean?" I asked and didn't understand what she mean. "Doug is hurt and can't barely defend himself or us, and Omid... what if he doesn't gonna make it and then... try to attack us." Cath explained.
I wide my eyes as Lee did same thing.
When she mentioned there, that might be possible Omid will die soon or later, then turn into a walker and attack Clem and Cath. I don't even think the girls are not ready to put out misery of a friend to us. Doug by the way, he might will be in trouble with Omid, but even his arm is injury he can still look after himself. Emily might not gonna like this that reason why to bring the girls with us to Crawford.
"Can't we just come with you guys? Please?" Cath asked.
I didn't answer back to her and I close my eyes to thinking.
Then I opened my eyes and say, "Fine, you girls can come with us." I replied.
Lee looks chock by my answer while the girls looks chock too, but more happy. "Really?" Cath said.
"Yes, but you two have to promise to stay close and do exactly what we and Emily saying the whole time when we're there, right Lee?" I said and look at Lee.
Lee looks that he dislike about my answer, but he huffed out and say, "Okay then, but no sneaking away again, go it?"
"Okay, we're going up and prepare to be ready." Cath said and go up to the upstairs as Clem follow after her.
"You think I did make a right call?" I asked as Lee raised one of his eyes in doubtful. "I don't know... after when Cath mentioned about what could happen with Omid, it can be risky." Lee replied.
After a little moment, we heard someone approach us from behind as we turned around and saw it was Tim. It seems like it's time to talk with him.
"Did I come in inappropriate?" Tim asked.
I shook my head and say, "No, we were done talking with the girls."
"I'm going to talk with Emily for this so you and Tim can speak alone and peace." Lee said as I sent a hesitant glance to him.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"I know what I doing, just like back in the train." Lee said and so confident.
"Okay then, just tell her it was my call if she gets angry." I said with a sheepish smile as Lee chuckled and walk away back in the living room.
Tim and I looking each other as I getting curious now about what's he has something to say.
"So, I guess the girls is so overprotected by you two and... Emily, right?" I glare at his comment as he raised his hands up to defend himself. "Just make a good complication."
I huffed and went into the kitchen as he follow after me so we can talk in private. "So what do you want with me?" I asked and placed both of my hands on the cupboards behind me.
Tim standing right front of me and leaned backward against the wall.
"Look, I'm really sorry for what happened with your friend and back in the river. I hope you can forgive me, my brother and my friend for everything we have done to you." Tim apologized.
I maybe can forgive him, but his brother is so sarcastic and Molly is kind of unsympathetic.
"It's hard to do it for your stupid brother and your blonde friend. By the way, why would I need to forgive you and them? We're just allies who work together because of common problems." I spoke.
"I know we just meet each other, alright? But... truth is I have sneak out from your gunwoman's eyes and spying on your redneck friend and the boat." Tim said as I frown at him.
"You better not planning something stupid for my people, aren't you?" I inquired as Tim chuckles little.
"No, I promise, except... I made an offer to you, something like my brother wouldn't agree with that if you accept it." Tim said with serious look as I narrows my eyes at him.
"What do you mean "the offer"?" I asked.
"I saw how big is the boat are and it seems like that one ain't gonna hold all of your group. So even you guys got a new battery and the fuel for the boat, and then what? I'm sure your group will have a capacity problem." Tim replied.
I raised one pf my eyes in questionable and looked down.
I guess he's right there about the boat. The way I saw it, that one doesn't look gonna hold all of us. Which means it's gonna be... I don't know... split up? No way! But Kenny's mind is already made up, even already back in the motel and... after lost his whole family. And Lee, he didn't even think about the plan B. He thinks the coast sounds good idea as he thought in the motel, but now after we have lost some of us and he getting be hesitant about Kenny's plan now.
"Are you saying my group is gonna split up because of a damn boat?" I inquired doubtful.
"I didn't mentioned that, but it's possible will happen." Tim said as I sighed. "Besides, have you ever think about your own way for your sisters's sake?"
"They're not my sisters, just a childhood best friend of their brother, and about thinking about "my own" way; are you telling I should take Emily and Cath with me and abandoned my friends behind?" I retort.
Tim start approach me and say, "It's not "abandoned" except... I don't know, kind of a farewell. Look, I know you guys have getting along each others for a long time. But... sometime you have to do in the hard way for a relocation."
I look away from him with a frown.
"But look, you and some of your people are welcome to our car if you've decided to come with us." Tim said as I widened my eyes in shock.
"What?" I said.
"You heard me." Tim said.
Is he gonna let me to join me in the car? But hold on there, why just me?
"Really? And why just me? Why are you telling me for this offer?" I asked.
"Because when Kenny said that you guys were looking after a boat, I saw a dislike expression on your face. You don't agree with him about finding a boat, huh?" Tim replied.
"Whoa, hold on there. I wasn't sure that we will find a boat if there's any left in the coast. And I didn't want you three to know about our plans." I explained. "Plus, what is it for you and your little group?"
"Because non of people from Savannah has been outside of this city and we don't know how bad is it, in the other word; we don't know what's out there." Tim replied.
"But me and my group know how bad is it. People changed and become sick, crazy, angry, paranoia or dangerous like Crawford." I referred about the adventure that me and mine group have been through.
"That's what I mean. It would be good to have kind of guide or something else. Look, I'm not trying to force you to join with us, but if it's gonna be a capacity problem and that will be up to you." Tim said as I getting little confused now. "Hey, you don't have to decide until tomorrow, but you better tell to Cath the others that you guys are gonna split up sooner or later before when the time is coming if it's gonna be."
Tim walk away back to the others, but then he stay and looking over his shoulder at me. "Oh, and one more thing; Our car have five seats left because the ninth seat have we ripped out because our supplies need extra room." Tim said as I widened my eyes and he continue walk to the others in the living room while I'm still in the kitchen.
Shit... why didn't I ever thought about that earlier before we found the boat in the shed? If the boat ain't gonna hold all of us, what's another choice than split up and join with Tim and his group? Lee, Kenny, Carley and the others ain't gonna like this. And worst, Cath and Clem have become best friends and best friends never separated from each other.
I rubbed on my forehead and start remember back in the past about an old friend of me and Chris, Barwolf who left us behind without saying any word like goodbye or why did he have to do that. Chris thought that he just abandoned us, but he still wonder where did he go. I always want to find him no matter what it takes.
I turned around to look though the window at the shed where the boat are inside there and brothers Rugby's car.
Five seats left... except the brothers and Molly, would it be me, Cath, Emily... Doug of course and... I'm getting hesitant that Ben would be the one who take the last seat. Benjamin and Molly would believe that he's no more than risky like what he did back in the street and let the girls go outside by on their own.
I sighed with a defeated look.
Let's see what will happen later when it's time to rock and roll. I walk back to the living room and take a little rest before it's getting dark outside.
In the night
It's dark now and there was no sound of walkers or living either from outside of the fence. We all are in the backyard and prepare for the burglary in Crawford.
I standing right beside Carley and Christa were they loading their guns while Tim, Benjamin and Molly were talking each others at the car on the other side of the fence as Carley have a wonder expression on them.
"Wonder what's they up now?" Christa asked and looked skeptical at the scavengers.
"It's nothing. They just... mind their own business." I said and feel little gloomy now.
Carley notice me how I look not okay. "Are you okay, Axel?" Carley asked.
"I'm fine... just fine." I said and then I saw Emily and Doug come out of the house and they talking each other.
"Hey guys. Check out what I found in garage. Hatchet, hacksaw, hammer and plenty of other tools we can use. Might come in handy for this little break-in." Kenny said.
"Nice." I said with a smirk as Kenny approached me and Lee. "Hey, can I talk just a minute? Just two of you." Kenny whispered as we three walk away from the rest of group so we can talk in private.
"What is it?" Lee asked.
"I took another look at the boat, she's a 30-footer." Kenny replied as I widened my eyes and sighed, but Lee didn't understand what Kenny talking about.
"So?" Lee said unsure.
Tim knew it. We will have another problem with that group which it will cost some of us if I don't decide to join with Tim's group.
"You mean it will be a capacity problem?" I guessed.
"Exactly. That size of a boat ain't gonna hold more than five people, even kids too." Kenny said.
Just only five?! Damn it, not even kids too?
"You, me, Axel, Clem, Cath, Carley, Emily, Doug, Christa, Omid, Ben, Tim, Benjamin and Molly." Lee made a head count. "That's fourteen of us."
Hmm, fourteen... five seats of the boat plus eight seats of the car and it will be thirteen... one person will probably stay behind. Still, it will be tough for all of us.
"Assuming that everyone makes it back alive, there's gonna be a few people too many, even if we cut Molly and these boys loose." Kenny said and figure out to solve that ultimate problem. "Before this is over, we're gonna have to make a decision."
"You're not serious." Lee said and look frightened.
I sighed out and close my eyes.
Seems like I don't have any choices left.
"Well, I guess it will be... farewell from both of you." I said with a gloomy tone as Lee and Kenny looking at me misunderstanding. "What're you talking about?" Lee asked.
"Tim have made me a offer to join with him in the car if we have to... split up because of the capacity problem." I replied as Lee and Kenny widened their eyes in chock.
"What?" Lee said.
"He what?" Kenny asked with a disbelief look.
"Look, I'm sorry I didn't make a decision with you two, but it's my call and Kenny, you know I wasn't sure we will find a boat and after how Benjamin "learned" us about walkers can't barely drown into the water out of the air." I said.
Kenny shook his head and say, "You really wanna hanging around with these guys after they were try to leave us behind in the river street if the girls wasn't there?"
"Hey, I'll never forget their mistakes like Chuck's death example and I don't know how much I trust Tim, but more than Benjamin and Molly. The way I see, Tim is okay to me now." I said, but Kenny looked down and let a dislike sigh out his mouth as I crossed my arms over my chest. "And besides that, do you really think anyone wanna to be left behind in this goddamned city?"
"But Axel, what about Cath and Clem? Did you think it would be easy for them to separate from each other? Plus, after what we have been through each other, you just wanna tear this group apart?" Lee asked.
I sighed out.
"I know what do you mean, but let's talking about this later until we're done to get all what we need." I said as Lee looks little sad as Kenny was too, but he looks little disappointing too.
"Fine, but by the way, how much seats has this car left?" Kenny asked.
"Eight, Tim, Benjamin and Molly took the ninth seat off the car because they need more space for their supplies. And with them, it will be five seats left in this car and it will be me, Cath, Emily, Doug and... Ben, I think..." I said, but still wasn't sure that Ben will be the last and sent a glance to the teenager who is in the garage to grab something there.
And who will be on the boat is probably Kenny, Lee, Clem, Carley and... I don't think Omid and Christa would never split up each other.
"Well, if we count on the car along with the boat, it will be one too many. But like what I mentioned earlier, who knows if-" But Kenny was interrupted when we heard the gate is opening which we turned around and saw Vernon comes back, but this time he's with someone...
It was that Brie woman who demanded Vernon to kill me and Lee back in the abandoned morgue.
What?! Why did he brought her in here?! I narrows my eyes and glare at her as I approach them before anyone could ask who is she.
"What the hell is she doing here?" I snapped.
"I brought Brie here because she can help us." Vernon said.
Help us?! After she has been so hostile against me and Lee?
"Help us how? To kill me or some of my people? Or worst, her weight will slow us down so Crawford bastards can get us?" I said sarcastic and looking at Brie who doesn't have a hostile sign on her face. "Why did you change your mind?"
"I'm sorry. I was scared and... overreacted." Brie tried to apologized, but it didn't affect on me.
"Everyone is scared and that doesn't excuse for the way you acted." I said with a cold tone.
"Enough, Brie made a mistake and she's sorry for it." Vernon said. "Just give her a chance and then we don't need to cross over the bridge."
"I was a student at the school where Crawford keeps their supplies. I know the layout." Brie said
I shook my head with disgusted look.
"We don't need her help because we already have these two who was students at that school." I said and pointed my finger at the brothers who are in the backyard with Molly and the others.
Vernon shaking his head in disappointing and look at me. "So you counting on a couple of boys than an adult?" Vernon inquired and looked disbelief.
"Hey, fossil dude, we're not boys as whatever what you think." Benjamin hissed.
Vernon got a distasteful expression on his face for what Benjamin called him. Then he looking at me, "And how come you trust them after you've lost control and have a big grudge on them?" Vernon inquired with a scowl.
"Because they were less willing to kill me and Lee than this woman was." I shot a glare to Brie.
"Look, I promise I will not try to do anything to harm you and your people." Brie spoke up.
"Is it really worth to trust you? Emily asked and got a skeptical expression on her face. "You wanted Axel and Lee death for some hours ago."
I was little surprised that Emily got a little grudge on Brie. But even Emily is so independent, she doesn't like someone who tried to hurt her family and family's friends too.
"I'm sorry. We were paranoia because of Crawford-bastards." Brie said as I shook my head. "Let me tell you a little story about us, we had a paranoia woman who tried to kill me and one of my friends." I said and pointing my finger at my scars on my forehead that I got when Lilly were going to shot at Carley and almost hit me before the bullet hit and kill Travis instead. "Paranoia is a less excuse."
"I don't know if we can trust her, but better have more people to help us so it will get faster before we know." Lee said positive, but have a skeptical expression on his face.
I huffed out my anger and say, "Fine, but I warn you, if you throw your third chance away that it will no fourth chance because it doesn't exist."
"Hey, what about the second chance?" Brie whined. "That was after I took Vernon's gun and then all of your people believe us, but you still glare at us and even insulted me too." I said and walk away as I noticed Brie sighed and Vernon sent a glare to me for being rude to her.
She's the one who need get her shit in two together.
Me and Lee approach Emily and Doug who stand right behind her.
I wonder how's Emily feel about take with Cath to Crawford.
"Look Emily, about Cath and Clem. They-" I trying to explain, but she placed her on my mouth to stop talking and then raised her hand away. "It's okay. It's not because of if Omid... you know." Emily said and doesn't wanted to say right when Christa is nearby of us. "Except that, who knows if that guy on the radio will sneak in and god know what he gonna to do with Clementine while we're gone."
Oh yeah. I almost forgot that fucker who has been stalking us and watch me from outside of the fence.
"Yeah, I think girls will be safe with us better than here." Lee said and turned to Doug. "You're okay to being alone with Omid?"
"I'll be fine. Just be careful out there. Having a trouble with people like Crawford is the last thing what we need." Doug said as I grabbed my golden Desert Eagle and reach it forward to him.
"Take it, just in case if someone or something gets in the house." I said as Doug nodded and accepted it.
"Don't struggle too hard with your arm." Emily said as Doug smile at her. "You bet, darling." Doug said as Emily give a kiss on his cheek and he's smirk.
Doug went back in the house as I, Emily and Lee walking to the girls and check on them if they're ready.
"Are you two sweeties ready?" Emily asked when stand right front of them.
"Ready." Clem replied with a smile.
"Ready when you are, sis." Cath replied with a smile.
That's good.
"Wait, hold on. You're not bringing them with us." Vernon said with a disbelief look. "Did you not listen to what I said about what they do to children? If you bring them in there and they find them-"
"This isn't up for debate, Vernon. These little girls aren't just excess baggage. They've gotten us out of a tight spot more than once." Lee interrupted Vernon.
"Have you any problem with that?" I inquired as Vernon just look away and didn't say any word.
