Here's the answers for your reviews from the previous chapter, authors.

AquaDestinysEmbrace: Of course they're gonna rescue Cath. It will take a little "spy" move in this chapter. By the way, Benjamin seems still wanna get the car back too though he wanna go to rescue Cath, if he still has some time left for that vehicle.

Destiny Kid: Kind of, like I mentioned in Letter Hacks of chapter 36, that "Dixon Saga" will be more darker than "The New World". Like this, you're Axel Dixon, what do you do when Vernon standing right front of you.

I almost forgot to tell about Clementine's surname, Hutchison. I took her voice actor's last name for Clementine's own. I hadn't much options to pick up a surname for her, but then I got that inspiration from OmnitrixWielder1124's (Clementine1124) old stories that Clementine has that surname. So thank you, OmnitrixWielder1124. :)

Chapter 68: Bug-spray

Axel's POV

I looking at the direction where the gunshot came from.

I see Clementine just standing right there and... held the stranger's gun? Did she really...

My eyes are widened in shock at her and the gun too, so Lee looked shock and surprised too.

Oh my god...

Lee and I get up on our feet and look at the girl and the gun in her hands. Clem didn't look happy about what she just did, but never got some tears because she understand why she have to do that to save Lee.

Then Lee approach Clementine who drop the gun now and sink her head and arms so sadly as her guardian bends down to her level and give her a hug.

Poor girl. How am I gonna explain with Chidike about this if he's still alive out there somewhere and meet him again?

I take a look at the corpse of the guy. His eyes looked sad and shock even he didn't noticed that Clementine shot him right at his head.

Then I realize something in my head.

Oh yeah! Cath! I'm gotta go out and get to the river street! Who knows if brothers Rugby and the others are in trouble with the walkers and at least with Vernon and his group.

I turned around from the body to the drawer. I take my weapons and Lee's meat cleaver.

"I'd like not to interrupt your reunion, we gotta go now." I say lowly as Lee look at me and give me a nod.

When he and Clem separated from each other, the little girl spot up something on Lee which her eyes looked horrified now.

"Your arm is gone. Why?" Clementine ask. "That's so scary."

I open my mouth answer, but Lee gesture to me to do not tell her that he's bitten.

"I've got a little accident. Don't worry about it." Lee lie and ensure the little girl.

I sighed lowly.

Then Clem got a disgusted expression on her face. "You don't smell good." Clem said.

I look around of my pants and hands, and then at Lee and his clothes.

I smirk little by her words. "No, but not really worst than my grandfather's stinky breath." I chuckled while approaching Lee and Clem. "Anyway, did... did that guy hurt you or something?"

Clem holding her hands each other in shame. "No, not really. I'm sorry." Clementine apologies.

"Clem. It's okay." Lee said as I nod to her.

Then Lee stands up again and say, "We need to get you safe, to the others."

"Where are they?" Clem ask.

"They're out there somewhere in the city. They rescuing Cath from Vernon and his people, I hope." I explain as Clem looked shock and questionable. "What do you mean rescuing her from Vernon?" Clem asked curiously. "I'd like to tell you whole story when you were gone, but it's long story. All I can say that Vernon took Cath from us just like this guy to you." I tells as Clem's eyes widened in shock.

She looks worry about Cath now and then whimper. She also thought Vernon was a good guy and do not understand why did he do that.

I narrows my eyes angrily over Vernon and his fucking actions like drugs Cath and took her then from us. He was actually no doubt to take Clementine too if that guy didn't took her first earlier.

But I focus on our current status now.

"Look, don't worry about her. The others will get her back, I promise." Lee ensure Clem stops crying now. "Okay." She replied.

I give the cleaver to Lee as he accepted and then heading for the door where we came in from the hallway.

"Come on, let's-"

OH SHIT!

A walker standing right on the other side of the door and have his face right front of my own after I open it.

I grab my crossbow from behind on my back, but...

The walker doesn't attack or try bite me either?

What the hell is going on?!

He just sniffing me around while I stare at him weirdly and didn't make a move, and then it seems he ignoring me like he target on someone behind of me. Then he take a step to passed me through, but I get to behind of that rotter and stabbed through the skull with hidden blade. It collapsed down on the floor.

Phew, that was close, but why didn't he attacked me?

"It... It... It didn't bite you." Clem says in shock, but looks more cringed by the walker.

I just stare at the corpse.

Yeah, but why?

"I'm not sure, but... it must have..." But Lee trailed off as his voice sounds tired.

"You two are covered in all that gross stuff." Clem pointed up as I look around of me, see walker-blood stained over my pants, my hands and little on my face too.

Lee got over his shirt and pants, little on his face too.

Wait, after when I got this shit over me among in the herd while heading for March House, most of walkers didn't attacked me then... So could it be...

"We had to go through a lot of them to get here, hadn't we, Axel?" Lee stated.

"Seems to be. But what are you suppose to?" I retort. "I think that's the way to get the others as fast as we can." Lee explain as I widened my eyes in surprised.

Oh... but wait? We're gonna do that... including Clem will do too?!

"Wait a minute, she has to do it too, right?" I gesture at Clementine who didn't understand what I and Lee talking about as he sighed and nodded.

"I am afraid so, but yeah." Lee said and pulled out his cleaver.

He went to the corpse and bends down. Here we go...

I notice Clem looked disgusted now by what Lee going to do.

He start slice the stomach open with his cleaver and then slice one more deeper in it.

"Yuck." Clementine moaned.

I got no problem with that because I get used to it on animals, well... this is first time on un-humans. Skin out and something more like that.

Then Lee grab part of guts out of the stomach as Clementine stand right forward him. She just stare at the guts and then Lee start smear onto the little girl with the guts, just on stomach. I knell down and stick my hands into the walker's stomach while hearing Clem whining out and then smear onto my shirt and vest.

Ugh, think this is just a bug-spray or something like that. And the bugs won't get top of us then.

I get up and turned to Lee and Clementine who were just done with this grossing shit.

"So... I guess we all are ready now, and... hope this will work." I say and look at Clem who looked uncomfortable by walker's bloodstained on her sweatshirt. "I hope so." Clementine said.

Then Lee pulled out something and say, "You're missing something."

It was Clementine's HAT!

No shit! He had it whole time.

"My hat! I thought it was gone." Clementine exclaimed happily as she put the hat on her head.

"I thought you were gone." Lee said with a smile.

"Thank you." Clementine smiles at Lee.

I smile at her. She's really lucky to have Lee around.

"Let's go." I said.

We all three get out the room and went down the hall. There was no walkers there now and everything seems cool. But the outside, that's GONNA be really tough there!

Tim's POV

When we both are on the ground and went fast in a alleyway to hide from being seen by Vernon and his group who running the car really slow to the river street. There are no much of geeks on their way, but can still be more of them at the river.

Benny and I peek out and see if there's a way to sneak to the car without being discovered. Then I spot the car's underneath and came up something.

Maybe this can work. If we can't get Cath back from the car then those guys will bring her back from the car for us.

"Hey, bro. I think I have a plan." I say as Benny look at me. "Then what's the plan?" Benny asked and listened to me.

I point at the under of the car. "Do you remember my favorite hiding place when we played hide-and-seek?" As Benny start look at where I pointed and then laugh little sarcastically. "Heh, well yeah. But I don't think it's time to hide under the car when it's moving."

Not if we move too.

"Yeah, but it doesn't mean we can't follow with it, like crawling for example. So wait for my singal" I retort as Benjamin widened his eyes in disbelief and look at the car again.

"You can't be seri-" Benny say as I ignored him during the last word when I start bends down on kneels and start sneaking carefully towards the car. I hear Benny start hiss at me, but quietly and low so Vernon, his group or any geeks can't hear him. "Tim? What the hell are you doing?! Stop!"

But I just keep sneaking towards the car as there was some geeks has right blocked the view of back mirrors so Vernon and his group, and at least the geeks didn't noticed me yet.

Okay, almost there...

I am between of the truck of the car and the head of the boat now. Then I make a quick move to the side of the car fast.

I lay down on the ground and crawling into under of the car before I could have be watched or being smashed by car's wheels.

There we go, thanks to geeks for cover me from being seen. I'm still laying on the ground as I continue to crawl to follow with the car's still moving slow to the river street.

All I can see from here is some feet of geeks walking on the streets. Non of them aren't attracted by the noise of the car because this one, my father's isn't so loud.

After a couple minutes ago, I can see the dark view right on the front side which is the coast.

Okay, wonder what will happens now.

Suddenly, I see the tires stops running which they have stop the car and I stop crawling too.

I lean my face to the left side and heard the door opened as a person came out of the car. I hear other doors opens and then some footsteps from behind of me, from the other side of the car.

"Alright, hurry up with the things to the boat. We've no all night." I hear a familiar voice as I know who it was.

Vernon... I clenched my hands by that bastard's voice.

I can't believe it that it sounds like he just acting that he had done nothing wrong for a few hours ago...

"Sure, Vernon." Another familiar voice respond.

It's probably that guy who knocked me and Benny down with his rifle.

I still hiding under the car while see their feet and hear they loading our things to the boat. They haven't send the boat at the water yet, luckily for us.

Emily's POV

We're rushing after Molly at the downstairs while I getting more worry about Cath.

Please, Molly... When are we there for Cath?!

"Come on, this way." Molly ordered us to go to the door. We have been wandered in an apartment when we took the door at the roof to get in here after we separated from Axel, Benjamin, Tim and... Lee.

I can't believe it that he just went down on the street with full of walkers like that. I hope he will be fine and got Clementine back.

When Molly, Christa, Omid, Doug, Carley, and I got out the building, we're end on the street.

But... this isn't the street where we saw the car from the roof.

"Molly, what's going on? Why are we here? Cath isn't here in this street." I ask.

Molly just didn't answer my question and analyzing around of the street and corners too. Then she looking at us and answer, "This is the only way I could get us down on the street. Others to the other side are sealed."

Sealed? Oh please...

"But there's another way, isn't?" Carley asks as Molly nods little and look at an alleyway right almost next to the door where we came out. "This alleyway will lead us to the river street." Molly says when she pulled out her weapon. "But be careful. We don't know what's in there now."

"Nah, I wouldn't be surprised if we found some rats in there." Omid joking little as Christa, Carley and Molly sighed.

Then we heard some sighs and growls of walkers from behind us as we turned around and saw some of them on the street has noticed us.

Oh no...

"Walkers!" Doug gasps.

"Now or never, come on!" Molly snarls as we start running into the alleyway.

Hang on, Cath. I'm coming for you...

Axel's POV

We three get out the March House and...

Our eyes are widened in shock.

Jesus! There are so many walkers in the streets outside of March House and there's barely an opening from here.

I notice Clementine froze up, but Lee place his hand over her shoulders to calm her down and don't being panic.

As for that in case, I grab my crossbow and held it for anything goes wrong.

Wonder this grosses shit will works...

Lee and I look at each other and then shares nods that we both and Clementine too are ready to walk among with walkers.

We start walk now but slowly and see some walkers watching at us, but they just ignored us then and continue to limping around on the streets.

I look amazed at them.

You got to be kidding me?! It really WORKS!

Then Lee has accidentally showed past through a walker, but it didn't caught up attention by Lee. Phew, thank goodness that they do not bother a lightly punch either.

After a little moment, we have passed through so many walkers and almost heading back to the river street where Cath's probably there now.

But Clementine just stop walk as Lee and I stop too, and looking at the little girl.

She looks shock and sad too when she saw something. What did she got now?

We two looking to what she starring at. On the right, we see two walkers, a man and a woman. That face of the male walker looks familiar, but younger and little shorter...

Where did I have seen that similar face before?

After a few seconds later, I got something in my head which I widened my eyes in shock.

No way... could it be?

Clementine's and Chidike's PARENTS?!

They didn't really make it... and that son of bitch did just lied to Clementine that they're okay...

My grips on crossbow is getting harder by range.

"Clem... don't..." Lee moaned as I see he start losing his conscious and fell down.

Whops!

I got him quickly, but he landed on the shot wounded on my shoulder.

Argh!

I let a low grunt in pain out of my mouth as some walkers got their attention on me, but I just ignored them because they will not get to us as long we're covered by their guts.

Then Clementine stop starring at her dead parents and looking at Lee worriedly. "Lee?" Clementine whispers.

Lee start moving little, but looks like he's weak and tired now.

Jesus, he must have lost too much blood or...

"Huh... uh... I'm alright. I'm sorry... Let me go." Lee says lowly as I shook my head to decline. "Oh no, partner. Let me help you and-"

Suddenly, when I was going start help him to continue walk onto the river street, I saw a walker limping for us?!

What the hell?! How did that walker know we're not the walkers when we covered by...

Then I notice the walker is after me as I looking at the shot-wound in my shoulder and it's bleeding little again.

Oh no, it must've be fresh blood! My bleeding blood!

I look around and see if there's a safe place to stay for a minute to stop my bleeding, but I don't there's no much time because Vernon and his group are probably prepare the boat at the water to leave now.

I see a little open garage door of jewelry store.

Maybe we'd take a little break over there.

But I gotta go to see if Cath is safe...

Fuck, what the hell am I thinking?!

I look at Lee who got on his feet, but still looks tired while some walkers got smell the blood on my injured shoulder.

"Lee, you and Clem gotta get to the store, to the left." I say lowly as Lee and Clem looks shock at me now. "What?" Lee mumbled and looks surprised about what I just said.

"Go over there. The walkers smelling my bleeding shoulder, I can't go with you and Clem." I explain. "Plus, I have to get to river and see if Cath is alright."

"No, Axel. Not you too?! We gotta stick together." Lee says with serious tones in his voice though it's weak. I sighed and groaning little to think over.

"I can't let put you and especially Clem in danger. Not after we came this far." I say gloomy. "You have to keep her safe."

Clementine looked so shock and sad that she don't wanna separate me from her and Lee like now in the middle of this chaos.

Then Lee closes his eyes and let a sigh out of his mouth.

He look at me now. "Okay... Just make sure Cath will be alright." Lee says as I nod.

I will.

"You betcha." I say. "Just try get out of Savannah right now. Let's meet outside, by the train."

Lee nod at me. "We will be there. Come, Clementine." Lee says when hold her hand.

"Please, don't go..." Clementine pleads so lowly as she walk away with Lee onto the store.

I sighed when I saw her sad eyes.

Then I turned around and don't look back while some walkers are almost there for me, but I walk away little faster than before.

While I still walking to the river street, I clutches my shoulder to try stop the bleeding.

Tim's POV

"Get Cath to the boat before she will awakes up." Vernon says to his friend as I see his feet walk over to one of car's doors.

Okay... see if I can get to her, but I need to being un-watched and need a weapon too.

I pulled out my knife from the pocket. This is all I have now.

Then I see feet came out the car and their footsteps sounds little harder than before which the man must carry something or someone heavy.

I take a look behind the other side of the car and see three couple of feet which means Vernon must be there with his other two older friends.

Maybe that's the chance now. I start crawling to the left side of the car and leaned my head out to see clearly. I see the African man carry Cath who still look drugged as she didn't make a move yet. He has his rifle on his back. Then I see Benny who still hiding at the corner of the alleyway.

After three seconds later, he saw me and then gives me a thumb up to give that guy a surprise. When he has his eyes on Cath and the boat, I start crawling out and get up on my feet slowly.

I sneaking right to him carefully.

Almost there...

When I was right behind of him, he lay the girl down on one of seats of the boat.

NOW!

I grab his shoulder as he turned around to me and I give him a punch at his face. He grunts and stumbled back to the boat. He fell on his kneel as the man lost his balance and start huffing. Then he grab my legs and wrist it which I feel on the ground, but I quickly slash at his arm with my knife.

"Argh!" The man grunts in pain as he holding his arm.

Ouch.

He was going to react, but suddenly, he got another punch by Benny who appeared from nowhere and saved me. The man fell on the ground as Benjamin grab the rifle out of his back.

Then I see Vernon and two other came out the corner of the front of car and see what's going on.

He and his people widened their eyes in shock at me and Benny, and his friend is attacked by us.

Benny pointed at them with the rifle.

"Don't move!" Benny yelled.

Vernon and two other wave up their hands in the air.

"How the hell did you get out and got here all this way?" The older woman inquired in shock. "That is not your call. All we want now is the girl, and the car too, plus our supplies." Benny snap back at the old woman as Vernon just scowl at him.

The older man start take a step, but the other old man stop him and look at us.

"Just take the girl if that's really best for her." The old African man says as Vernon look at him in shock. "What the hell is wrong with you, Boyd? These people can't have her, she won't be safe with them." Vernon chided.

Boyd sighed and then look at Vernon with a snearl eyes.

"Yes she will. She won't be safe with you! You drugged her as I have never like that before which Crawford didn't never have done something like that before either. In the other word, you are worse than Crawford!" Boyd snapped at his friend who widened his eyes by that outburst.

Wow...

I just look at their little argument while keep focus at the man who still are on the ground and held on his injured his arm.

"What the hell, Boyd?!" The old woman exclaimed with a warning tone.

But Vernon glaring at Boyd and say, "I've kept you alive and this is how-"

"VERNON!" Vernon cut off by someone's yelled out in the air as I and Benny recognize that voice.

Was it...

We all look at on the left of the river street and saw someone dashing right to Vernon.

Axel! He doesn't looks happy now as he grabbed Vernon right at his throats and shoved him against the car before the old man or any of us could react about the angry teenager's arrival.

Vernon grunts when his back hit at the car and Axel still held his throat while start give him a lot of punches at his face.
