Chapter 57: Another Offer

Axel's POV

We all heading back in the house after managed out of Crawford and travel through sewer system. When we got in the sewer, we found eight paper bags of supplies that the brothers Rugby packed and brought them in there before we got trouble with the walkers in the old school.

Some of us carry paper bags while Benjamin and Kenny carry fuels. Meanwhile I carry one paper bag, I'm still have the battery in my backpack.

Well, I'm glad that Crawford is done and no more threat to us and Vernon's people. But now... we have a problem in our group and that is Ben.

I starring at him with a glare. I can't believe it like it was Ben who made a deal with those fucking bandits at the motor inn, then later it caused Kenny's family's death and worst, he got his own friend Travis killed while he just standing right front of Lilly and didn't say anything.

Then I looked down while we all still walking in the street to the house. If Ben told the truth earlier, Lilly would have killed him instead me or Carley. More likely she was going to shoot me if Carley didn't have insult Lilly even she accused her too. And Lee knew it, probably figured out or Ben told him. I think Lee doesn't wanna have more tension in our group, but I'm afraid it is too late.

Now except Kenny, there's some of us who wanna leave Ben behind. Christa, Benjamin, Molly, maybe Tim too even I think he feels sorry of Ben.

I looking at the girls who walks right front of me. I can't really understand why they protecting them even after found out the cause of Duck's death and leaving them behind in this same street with the walkers. I know Cath and Clem doesn't holding a grudge, but me and the group don't wanna lose them by his stupidities. Speaking of that, Emily ain't gonna understand how some of us who wanna kick Ben out of this group.

We heading into the backyard and Lee opened the door to the house.

All of us are getting in and then we saw someone or something laying on the floor in the hallway.

"Jesus. A walker." Emily confirming as we approach the corpse and saw it have a bullet-hole on the head.

Which it made us worry about someones. What happened with Dou-

Then we saw the door of wardrobe has open and someone came out of it.

It was Doug!

And he looks little exhausted as he holding my Desert Eagle.

"Hey, guys. I'm glad y'all are okay." Doug said with a smile as we smile back to him.

"Good you're alright and looks fresh too." I said.

"What the hell happened in here?" Lee asked and his eyes aimed at the corpse. "The walker came in here the house for a while ago. Probably from the kitchen-door. Luckily I was awaken at that time and was going to get down, but it was going to get up. So I push him and he feel down on the floor before I shoot it." Doug explained. "After I shot it, I heard there was many walkers outside who heard the gunshot so I hiding in this wardrobe."

Everyone including me wide our eyes in surprised that Doug has finally killed a walker with a gun.

"Whoa, good job there, Doug. Not bad for the first time." Carley said as Doug nod.

"I hate to interrupting this, but how's with Omid?" Christa spook up which Doug's face feel down sadly.

"I'm sorry, Christa. I didn't take a look at him since the walker and it was almost a hour ago." Doug said as Christa looks worry now and heading up to the upstairs.

Shit, gotta get up and see if Omid's still alive or...

I shook these thoughts away from my head as Emily give a kiss to Doug on his mouth while the girls and I still standing front of them.

Cath got a distasteful expression on her face and narrows her eyes by the kiss. "Gross."

I roll my eyes and smirk. "You will understand when you getting older." I says with a smile which Cath looks annoying by my comment.

"What do you mean-" But Cath was interrupted by Christa's scream. "OMID!"

Oh oh, sounds bad up there.

We all heading up quickly to the upstairs and saw Christa just standing in Omid's room. She looks upset and went to Omid who probably still resting on his bed.

Me, Lee and Vernon come into the room while the others are behind us and wonder how's going with Omid.

Omid still laying on the bed, but I see he's not breathing and didn't make a move when Christa knell down at the bedside. She holding Omid's hand, but no sign of if he's alive.

Oh my god, wait... is he...

"Christa, don't. Stay back!" Lee exclaimed with a warning tone, but Christa just ignoring and start to cry at her boyfriend. "I wish I should never left you. I'm so sorry..." Christa says sadly.

"Christa, get away from him!" I demand as she looking at me and then suddenly,

Omid jolt up and takes some deep breaths which I grab my crossbow while Lee ran to Christa and put his on her shoulder to pull her back from Omid.

Then Omid looking at Christa.

"Hey... Back already?" Omid's voice sounds weak, but still he smile.

I roll my eyes. Already? Man, he must have really slept like a log.

Lee let Christa go and she lean forward her boyfriend. "We got your medicine."

"Good, feel like I could use some." Omid said as Vernon give some painkillers to Omid while Emily give a bottle of water. Omid swallow painkillers and then drinking the water to swallow tablets. As the group even brothers and Molly too approach him and look happy that Omid's alrigh, even Benjamin who smile little at Omid and Christa.

I guess I know why...

Then I notice Ben didn't look good as Omid noticed too. "You're okay, kid? You looks worse than Doug and I do." Omid asked concernedly.

Benjamin's smile disappear and frowns at Ben.

"We almost died because of this stupid asshole." Benjamin said with a scowl as Kenny did the same thing which Ben looked ashamed now.

"Guys, what happened out there?" Doug asked and looked curiously.

I looking down at the floor and sighed.

A lot of things.

"Let someone else tell you, I got work to do." Kenny said angrily and walked out of the room to working on the boat. "Same here. Molly, Tim, we got a work to do with supplies and fuel." Benjamin growled and walk away with Tim and Molly, but the young blonde woman stop walk and turned to the girls.

"Thanks for saving me back in the hallway." Molly said with a smile as Clem and Cath looked happy and nodded.

"No problem. We're looking for each other." Clem said as Molly nod and then approach Lee. "You better take care of this little one, you know she thinks the world of you."

Lee sent a appreciated look toward Molly and nod.

Molly walk out of the room while Vernon working on Doug's arm.

"Okay. With a little luck, you two should start feeling better pretty soon." Vernon stated.

Good, now everything is solved out. Then I looking at Ben who walk away from the room. Well, not this one yet...

"Thanks, doc." Omid said and laying on the bed again. "Yeah, thank you so much." Christa said and look very gratefully at Vernon.

"Eh, Emily?" I asked.

"Yeah?" Emily respond.

"I think it's time to talk about... you know." I said which it made Emily frowns at me. But she sighed and say, "Okay, we'll talk at the living room, all of us."

I nod and walk away as Cath follow after me while Clem heading in the office room. She didn't look happy about something. Well, I hope Lee will talk with her and find out what's wrong now.

Lee's POV

We leaving Christa and Omid alone. We're heading to downstairs to talk with Axel, probably about Ben.

I sighed out and thinking about that poor teenager.

He wanna die back in Crawford and I still saved him. I don't know where did I get that, but I chose the right thing. Even after that, there's still gonna be very tension in this group when Ben's sticking around with us. Some of us wanna leave Ben behind while the others still wanna have Ben with us even I agree that Ben have screwing around in Crawford.

When we were going to the stairs, Vernon called me. "Wait, Lee. I gotta have a word with you. In private."

I stop walking and turned around to Vernon while the others walk down on the stairs, leaving me and Vernon behind plus Omid and Christa in their room and Clementine in the office.

I wonder what got Vernon to say. First thing is, I have to say thanks and... sorry about what happened with his friend, Brie.

Poor that woman. Even she was so hostile on me and Axel in the beginning, but she still doesn't deserved it.

"Hey, I wanna say thank you for your help. And..." I said, but trailed off sadly for a few seconds. "I'm sorry about what happened with Brie."

"It's okay. Don't beat yourself up over it. There was nothing you can do about it." Vernon ensured me, but then he looks sad now. You want to know the worst part?"

"What?" I asked.

"I don't feel much like nothing. I thought I should be broken when I lost a friend of me, but then... there was no common to these feelings that I've had when I lost my daughter and then my old friends. Something like I need to get used to it." Vernon said with a sympathy look.

I raised one of my eyebrows in hesitant. I guess so... but what's he trying to say me about?

"What did you want to talk to me about?" I inquired.

"I know you care about Clementine, anyone can see that. and I know that Axel what's best for Cath and Emily too. But this plan of yours, putting everyone on a boat, with no destination. Do you really think that's the best for the girls? Because I don't. So I want to make you an offer." Vernon explained as I narrows my eyes at him.

What the hell is he got something in his head now?

"What kind of an offer?" I inquired with a serious look.

"I'll take them off your hands and bring them back to my group. Emily will come with me and the girls too as she's Cath's sister. Most of us have had children of our own. We're well supplied, well hidden, and now that Crawford's fallen, we have nothing left to fear from them. They'll be safe with us, I can promise you that. That's what you want, be safe?" Vernon said.

I just starring at Vernon in disbelief. What? He wanna take the girls from us just because we're not capable enough to take care a child as he believe that?

Then I shook my head and then sent a glare to Vernon.

There's no way I'm will accept that.

"No, Vernon. I'm really appreciated for your offer, but sorry and no." I declined which Vernon scowled at me. "You'll better regret it when if something will happened to any of them later. What would you say about that?"

I'm getting angry at him now, but I don't wanna have some trouble right now.

"How the hell would I know that Clementine will be safe with you and your people as much she is now? I don't barely know about you and your group, but there's one thing I know; you don't know what's out there, outside of Savannah like there some crazy fuckers who wanna kill other survivors, and I and my people do. We and the little girls have been through more together than you can imagine." I said with a scowl.

Vernon sent an intense glare towards me.

"Maybe and what exactly are you doing when you're dealing with problems? Like your people are going have an argument about what's going to happen with that boy? Just because of his mistakes? I don't see any different between that and Crawford." Vernon scowling.

I let an annoying sigh out of my mouth. Is he really seriously to talk about my group's past before we arrived in here Savannah?

"I don't have time with this nonsense." I snap out and punched past Vernon. I heading to Clementine who is in the office room, but I stop walking and turned around to Vernon. "And about your offer again; I still say no and about Cath, you'll go to talk to Axel and Emily. But more than what I see, Emily would appreciated your offer too but she's still trust Axel and us to look after her sister and if I were you, Vernon, I wouldn't make that offer to Axel because he's gonna say something more than no and that will lead a conflict between you and him. Which you will put the girls in trouble."

Vernon just frowns and shaking his head in disbelief.

"I'm really surprised that you and your people, especially Emily who really care about Cath when she's in wrong hands." Vernon said sarcastically which it made me wide my eyes in shock by his statement.

What the hell did he mean by that?

"What the fuck do you talking about?" I demanding.

"I'm saying Cath will not be safe with that Axel. There is something you might have noticed about him yet, a boy who can't barely control his temper and refuse to forgive someone's mistake. You think he can look after a child when he has temper problem?" Vernon criticizes as I frowns at him. "A such of that behavior wouldn't expose good with children."

I approach little Vernon with a threat look and standing right front of him. "I said I don't have time with this shit and you stay away from the girls, Vernon. I think it's time to walk away and pretend we didn't have this conversation. And you do right now."

Vernon huffed out and turned around to the stairs. While Vernon going down on the stairs, he still glaring at me until he got down and I shook my head.

Who the hell think he is? He tried to make me to do what he ask for.

Then I turned to the office and see Clem starring at the window. She probably looking at Kenny who fix on the boat right now while Molly and the boys getting prepare for the trip.

Oh, my god. I almost forgot that Axel and some of us will split up later. I guess it's time talk with Clementine about that and I'm sure she will be very sad that Cath will not hanging around with her anymore.

I heading into the office while I wonder how's going with the others down there in the living room.

Axel's POV

When we were going get in the living room, Emily passed me and stormed into the room.

I sighed. Here we go...

"What's talk about? It is about Ben, right?" Emily inquired and sent a glare to me as I just looked down.

"Emily..." I said.

"No. Look, Ben just made a mistake and we can't being pulled down because of it." Emily objected.

"Mistake? He almost got all of us killed back at Crawford." I said.

Emily sighed and take a seat on the sofa as Doug sitting beside of her. Cath siting on another sofa while I and Carley still standing.

"Come on, Axel. Everyone makes mistakes, I mean he didn't really mean to hurt us." Doug spook up.

"Yeah, and what are you exactly gonna do with him? Kick out of the group? If we do that, we will become like Crawford to the beginning with." Carley added.

I sighed and growling while take a seat on the sofa right beside Cath.

"So what do you exactly gonna do now? Just forgetting about what happened back in Crawford and in the road?" I inquired in disbelief. "Besides that, how much faith do you have in him? Like look after the girls? Protect us from the walkers or bad people?"

Emily or anyone didn't answer back which means they do not really have mush faith in Ben, but they still care about him.

"Emily, I don't like this either, but sometime we need to face the facts. Something... we learn about our mistakes and make sure we will not do that again or it will death sentence for one or two of us." I stated.

Cath looking at her with a concern expression on her face. "Em, I agree with you that we don't give up Ben, I really do but Dix has right there that after what did Ben have done at motor inn and Crawford, it'll be very hard to trust him when there's so much tension in this group for now." Cath said as Emily looks shock by her little sister's logically.

"How could you say like that?" Emily asked.

"Because it's true. It's only matter of time when he'll get one of us killed." I retort.

"Dix." Cath snarled gently. "I'm saying we'll not giving him up, alright. All what we can do right now is keep our eye on him."

"On that thought, I can put that in my mind." Carley agree, but Emily wasn't sure about that. "So we just gonna do that? How's gonna that help?" Emily asked.

"Well, we can't do that forever. Why can't we try to enforce him?" Doug guess. "You know like when you and Lee teach the girls how use a gun."

"I... I don't think Ben would be good with a pistol. I hate to admit it, but put him with Travis on the watch was kind of a mistake." Emily said and wasn't sure about Doug's idea.

I look down at the floor. Well, he tried to attack me, Lee, Molly and the brothers with a hatchet when he thought we were the walkers, but I've never seen Ben kill a walker with a gun. Besides that, he's a nervous and panic type and that can hinder to become a real survivor.

Then I looking at Doug.

"It's not gonna be the same, Doug." I said. "You know how he is. And I don't think he'll not be helpful."'

"He always tried to help us, like Carley said; if we do not pull on our weight, we're not better than Crawford." Cath said as I shook my head annoying.

I looking at Cath with a snarl. What about Ben then?

"Is Ben better than Crawford like when he really help you and Clem out back on the street?" I snap as Cath looking at me in shock and then she sighed when looking down on the floor sadly.

Emily, Doug and Carley starring at Cath and do not understand what I mean.

"What?" Emily asked.

"What are you talking about?" Carley asked.

I take a deep breath and then looking at Emily and the others.

"Back on the street when we were heading into this house; Clem, Cath and Ben were surrounding by the walkers and Lee yelled him to help them, but he just ran away." I said which it made Emily and Doug looked shock by that fact, but I see Carley looks little more angry than shock.

"What?!" Carley hissed.

"Carley, calm down." Doug tried to calm Carley, but she objecting, "No, I wanna know." Carley snarl and looking at me. "What do you mean he just ran away?"

I raised my eyes in shock and surprised that I've never seen Carley like that. Probably she's just worry about Clementine's safety.

"Lee told Ben to help the girls and then Ben..." But trailed off when I getting angry to remember what he have done on the street. "He just ran away, left the girls behind with the walkers and they were going to die if Chuck didn't shows up and saved them. Then he distract the walkers so we can get into the house peacefully. That's how we lost him." I growling.

After what I told them about what happened back on the street in yesterday, Emily placed her hand on cheek and looked shock.

"I-I can't believe it... wait a minute?" Then Emily frowns at me. "You and Lee have been keep secrets about motor inn and outside on the street just like the radio, but about Ben? How could you two do that?"

"We were going to tell y'all about the radio, but I didn't knew it was Ben who caused the shit at the motor inn. But how could Lee or I explain about this when you were upset over Travis's death and Kenny's on the edge?" I defended as Emily sighed.

"I've keep this secret too, Em." Cath defend me.

"And why didn't you told me?" Emily asked.

Cath looked on the floor and leaned her head to the sofa. "I just don't want make you more upset after... you know."

Then Emily stand up and walk around while talking, "I don't get it. Me and my friends came into this group, reunite my sister and then you turn against one of my friends?"

"He got Travis, Duck and Katjaa killed. Plus if he was part of responsibility over Chuck's death and-" But Emily interrupt me and pointed at the window which referring Molly and the boys who is outside and loading supplies in their car.

"Wasn't they who ringing the bells? Wasn't Lilly who got her own finger on the trigger?" Emily accusing as I looked down and sighed.

Then Emily cover her face with her hands and take a breath. "Look, I can't excuse what Ben have done. But there must be another way to apologies him, we have to." Emily said as I stand up and raise my hand front of her.

"There's no other chance. Besides that, it won't be easy for him because he has enough now." I said which it made everyone looks curious.

"What do you mean by that?" Doug asked.

"He wanna die behind at the tower. He wanna Lee to let him go and die." I said as Emily wide her eyes in shock and horror. The others did the same.

"What?" Doug gasped.

"He didn't wanna live anymore after what he have caused more pain. Still, Lee pulled him up but even after that, that doesn't change anything and you guys see how he is depressed now." I explain.

I remember how he begged Lee to drop him down back in the tower. I don't know it was the right thing to save him because it doesn't mean he will change his mind about his life.

"Jesus... But what do you mean it won't be easy for him?" Carley asked.

"I mean it's gonna be hard to keep him alive so long. Plus it was his own decision to keep fighting or give up." I said as everyone looked disbelief on me. "Look, I'm not saying that suicide is an option, but some people who is depressed do and we can't force Ben to change his mind. He has to do on his own."

Everyone was speechless and thinking about what I said. I see Emily looks little upset that she's afraid that if Ben will take suicide just like her other friend, Jennifer as she told us when we learned about we all are infected.

Then Carley spook up, "I guess he has a point there. I mean, we might can't just give Ben up but we can't force him to live. So, is there something we can do for him?"

Honestly, I don't know.

I take a look at Ben who sitting on a chair in the dinner room and just starring on the table.

"He might need some advice or something like that. That maybe can help him to change his mind. Emily?" I said and look at Emily.

Emily just looking at me and then at Ben for a while.

Then she sighed and went to the dinner room to talk with her friend. She take a seat on another chair right next to him.

"This is gonna be hard later." Carley said as I nod to agree with her. "Yeah, it will." I says with a boring tone.

"Look, we all have a hard time enough for today. I think we need take a rest." Doug stated as Cath yawns.

"...ahhhh... you're right. It has been a rough day." Cath said as Carley smirk little. "No kidding." Carley said as Cath laughed back.

Yep. I feel like I need a little nap. Me and Carley nodded as I went off the living room.

"Hey, Axel." I heard a familiar voice as I turned around and it was Vernon who was in the middle of the hall between kitchen and stairs.

"Oh, hey." I respond and then I remember that he lost his friend back at Crawford. Brie was an asshole on me and Lee when she wanted Vernon to kill us both. But even after that, I still didn't ask for killing her.

"Listen, I know I wasn't getting along with Brie, but I didn't want her to died. So, I'm sorry for what happened with her." I said and have a sympathy expression on my face as Vernon appreciated for my concern, but I notice his serious look on his face.

"I hope you're really do. You must understand that she sacrifice her own life to get medicines for your sick friends and my people." Vernon said as I look down and feel little ashamed.

"I guess so. But we all have putted our life at the risk." I says.

"We all did." Vernon said and then he frowns about something.

I wonder if he listened what we have talking about Ben.

"You listened us, right?" I said and narrows my eyes.

"Yes, I did. And that's what I want to talking about you and your group." Vernon says with a serious look as I crossed my arms over my chest. "Brie had sometimes tempered problem but she always regret it later, and I can see different between you and her. Like you've never forgive her and then when you finds out about that kid's secrets, you were going to lost your control as you hitting the door so hard. Do you think you can keep your people in safe with that such behavior?"

"Why wouldn't I have that behavior? How could I still breathing in this air without it?" I asked sarcastically which it made Vernon looked shock. "Are you saying that your behavior keep you alive?"

I nod at him. "Exactly, if I didn't have that I would be just a scare kid and worst, my behavior would have become dysfunctional. So what's all about this?" I inquired.

Vernon sighed and says, "I know your people looking at you as a trustworthy member of this group, but the truth is you're not because I can see you wanna have that kid to die."

I scowl at him. I maybe want Ben to die, but that would be too far. So I'd like that he should go away from this group with some supplies. He's too risky to have him around with the girls and the others.

"Kind of, but I changed in my mind. I'd say we're going to kick him out of the group, besides he wanna die back at Crawford." I says.

"That's what I'm worried about. What if it was one of your girls? Would you and your people approve that?" Vernon says as it made me angry.

HOW DARE HE TO INVOLVING CATH AND CLEM IN THIS?!

I take some steps to him, but hiding my angry look.

"I would be careful if I were you, Vernon. And secondly, that's not gonna happen because non of them aren't so stupid or risky like Ben. So there's no compare between them and him." I snarled.

"It's that so how you guys living like this? Kick one of you out of this group just because of differences?" Vernon scowling at me.

Actually, no. Only for necessary like when we left Lilly behind after she were going to kill Carley and got Travis instead and she didn't show any remorse sigh on her face as I can remember that night while I touching that scar on my forehead.

Anyway, I sighed out by his morals, but unlike from Doug's and Glenn's, it's grumpy one.

"Get to the point of this argument, Vernon. I'd like to end this now." I shot back as Vernon sighed.

"Listen, I know you care about Cath and trying to doing the best for her, but no matter what you doing for her, it isn't gonna be great for her later. So I make an offer." Vernon explained.

I starring at him. Another offer?

"What do you mean it's not gonna be best for her and what is this offer?" I inquired with a serious look.

"I'll take her off your hands and bring her back to my people. We're in a good spot where it's very well hidden and now Crawford is fallen we got no worry about. And that goes to Clementine too, but your friend Lee disagreed that. So I need you to talk with him and convince him to re-think about my offer. Can you do that, I'll promise you to make sure the girls will be safe with us and hope a better future for them. Right?" Vernon explained as I just starring at him.

Then I close my eyes and shake my head. Is this guy really nuts?!

I open my eyes and glaring at Vernon.

"And what if I refuse, doc? Other word, I agree with Lee to decline your offer. You wanna take the girls from us just because of our actions, my behavior and no capable to take care a child, it's that so?" I says and sent a glare towards Vernon which he scowling at me.

"I don't mean to criticizing or judging anyone around here, I only faces the facts because it's true. If you were Cath's real big brother we wouldn't have this conversation, but you're not. And-" Vernon hissed, but I interrupt him.

"If I were her real big brother it would doesn't matters because he has a lot of tempers as hell just like I have and I'm sure you'd still have this conversation with him instead me." I retort with a strict tone.

"Then how long until you will lost control of your tempers and hurt anyone from your group?" Vernon inquired.

"Never. Only I hurt anyone from my group is when they almost screwed us just like Ben. Besides that, I'm really disappointment on you, Vernon." I says as Vernon wide his eyes in a bit of surprised.

"What?" Vernon asked.

"Everyone makes mistakes, but they learned them to make sure so anyone will do that again. Like this one, you mentioned you lost your own daughter in first days and I don't know how did you lost her, but you'd really expect that I would believe you're capable of to take care two little girls? More than likely, you didn't get over your daughter's death and so confident that the girl will be fine with." I says icily.

"Now hold on for a minute, I didn't-" Vernon hissed, but I interrupted him.

"And I'm really surprised that you're too soft on Ben who got Brie killed. I'm not saying looking for a revenge, but the fact. How many of your people have to die before you realize that Ben's risky and I wouldn't take that long if I were you. So if you refuse to face that fact, which it will cost someone's life, probably Cath's or Clem's. And that's why I refuse to let you have them." I says.

"You gotta a lot of nerves! Who the hell do you think you are?!" Vernon snapped as I reach out my hand to Vernon's throat and have one of hidden blade close to it which Vernon looked frightened now when he saw it.

I remember these words what he did just said. It was Amanda's words back in that day, right before the fight.

"Someone who try not to kill you but he will do that if you gonna try to take the girls by force." I shot back, then I reach my hand away from his throat. "So go and take with medicines for your people. The door's waiting for you. Beat it." I snap at him with an anger tone.

No doubt, Vernon just walk away to the front doors, but he still keeping his glare at me as I getting very angry at him. But I calm down when he went off the house now.

Phew, that was close to have fight and I glad I skip it.

But I can't stop thinking how could he made that offer to take someone from who.

"Axel?" I heard Emily calling me when she appear into the kitchen from living room. She must have heard when Vernon yelled at me. "What's going on? What's wrong with Vernon?"

I look on the floor and thinking what I going to say. I take a deep breath and then turned around to Emily.

"We have a little spat." I replied as Emily looks doubtful on me. "Just have a spat? Is it something about Ben?" She inquired.

Part of it, but that's not what I just worry about.

"More than that, but yeah. Speaking about Ben, how's going with him?" I asked.

Emily's face fell down and then looking behind over her shoulder at the diner room where Ben are now.

"I don't know, right now. I've never seen him like this. So depressed and quiet. Wish I could done more to cheer him up." Emily sighed.

Well, he probably feel guilty because he caused Kenny's family's and Travis's death, so that's a reasonable thing to being depressed.

"He need some space for now." I stated.

"I... I think you have right." Emily says with her defeated look. Then she looks normal and getting tired now. "I think we all need take a little rest so we're ready for... tomorrow." Emily says with a gloomy tone.

I sighed and nods slowly. I turned around and went up to upstairs to get some rest.
