Everyone then went their separate ways once the group finished their conversation. Lee decided that he didn't want to go to the bandit camp just yet, so he walked over to check on Clementine, and Carlos followed behind him, deciding that he should check on Sarah too. Duck was currently on the swing, with Kenny pushing him, and Sarah and Clem were patiently waiting their turn.

Clementine's eyes lit up once she saw Lee walking over to her, "Hey Lee, can you push me on the swing?" she asked.

Lee nodded. "Sure sweet pea." He then looked over at Kenny. "Mind if Clementine takes a turn?"

"Alright Duck, let Clem have a turn," Kenny said and Duck jumped off the swing. Carlos then watched as Clementine climbed onto the swing and Lee began to push her. He then walked over and sat down on a rock beside his daughter.

"Looks pretty fun, huh?" Carlos said to Sarah.

She nodded. "Can you push me next, Daddy?" she asked.

"Of course sweetie. We just have to wait until Clementine gets done," he answered.

"Okay." She nodded and scooted closer to her dad. "Do you like it here?" Sarah then asked, looking up at her father with her dark eyes.

Carlos nodded. "Don't you?"

"I love it here," she answered. "It makes me think of before."

"Me too," Carlos said.

Lee was having a similar conversation with Clementine as he pushed her on the swing, and so far it seemed that the whole group was enjoying the dairy. Sarah played with the zipper on her green jacket as she patiently waited her turn.

"Alright, Clementine, I think that's enough for now," Lee finally said, stopping the swing.

"Okay, Lee. Thanks for pushing me!" Clementine exclaimed as she hopped off.

"Of course," Lee replied. He turned to Carlos and Sarah. "It's all yours."

Sarah beamed and hopped off of the tree stump. "Come on, Dad!" she nearly yelled, taking Carlos' hand and leading him over to the swing. Carlos couldn't help but smile; he hoped that his daughter never had to lose her innocence.

Sarah sat on the swing and eagerly waited for Carlos to begin pushing her. Albeit she was thirteen and probably a little too old now for the swing, she was still excited about it.

He pushed, relatively slow at first, and the continued to get faster. "Higher Dad, higher!" Sarah nearly squealed, and Carlos obliged to her requests, pushing her as high as the swing would take her. He could tell she was enjoying herself by the way she was laughing, and in that moment, Carlos was glad that Andy built the swing for the kids. At least they had something to do to pass time now.

As he was pushing his daughter, Carlos watched as Lee walked around to talk to each individual member of the group. He was probably making sure that everyone was okay with the dairy and the living accommodations now. Once Lee was done, he made his way back over to Carlos and Kenny.

"I think I'm gonna go check out that bandit camp now," Lee said. "Could you guys keep an eye on Clementine while I'm gone?" he asked Carlos and Kenny.

Kenny nodded. "Of course, Lee. I'll always have your back."

"Thanks," Lee said. "I'll be right back Clem, okay?" he said to her.

"Please be lucky," Clementine replied.

"I will," Lee said with a nod and headed out of the dairy with Andy and Danny.

The three of them headed out of the dairy with rifles in hand, Lee wondering what was so important that they had to go scope out the bandit camp. Oh well, it probably wasn't for anything major.

"See anything?" Danny inquired.

"Not yet," said Lee.

"I know it's around here, it's gotta be close," Andy pointed out, squinting his eyes as he scanned around.

As soon as he said that, Lee felt a kick of something. Looking down, he saw a can of alphabet soup roll a little bit away. He inspected it for a moment, and stood up. Soon enough, Lee saw a camp with a tent, some chairs, and a fireplace. There was also boxes stocked up with food.

"Here!" he called to the brothers.

"Oh, shit! You found it?" Danny asked as he stood beside Lee.

Lee hushed him and motioned for them to move forward, slowly and quietly.

"See anybody?" Andy asked.

"Looks empty," Lee replied.

"I'll go check out the tent..." Danny said, and began to tip toe quietly towards the tent. He kept his gun ready, just in case something or someone were to pop out of nowhere. He then peeled back the tent opening carefully, only to reveal an empty tent with some sleeping bags in it. "All clear," he said.

"This camp's too small, it can't be their main base," Andrew shook his head.

"That's what I was thinking," Lee agreed.

"Take a look around anyway," Danny instructed. "There's probably some shit around here that they stole from us."

Lee looked around, but everything standing near Danny was empty; nothing looked suspicious. He walked to the other side and noticed some boxes labeled, "Save-Lots," and couldn't help but inquire. "What's in these boxes?"

"The first few days, they told folks to gather by the Save-Lots by the interstate," Andy explained. "Anything worth taking?"

Lee shook his head and continued to search around. At one point, he noticed something that caught his eye and moved a box out of the way. It was a video camera.

"Lemme see that," Danny said.

"Battery's dead, though," Lee told him.

Lastly, he decided to examine the tent to see if there was anything useful. There was a stuffed rabbit, along with a photo of a mother and daughter that caused him to feel a pang of sadness. It was when he picked up a certain hat when things changed.

"The hell?" he asked. This was Clementine's hat; it was stolen!

"Don't you fucking move!" a new voice, a female, demanded.

"Shit!" Danny yelled.

"PUT YOUR GUNS DOWN!" the woman, holding a crossbow, ordered. "I ain't going back. You tell 'em Jolene ain't goin' back!"

Lee, Danny, and Andy all aimed their guns at the woman. "Hey, no shootin' as long as we gave you food! We had a deal!" Danny yelled. "What the fuck happened?" he asked.

"You had a deal with THEM. I ain't them," the woman replied, still aiming her crossbow. "I know you, and I know what you are. I know what you do..." She continued to ramble on.

"You don't know me," Danny retorted. "We had a deal, and you people broke it."

"Steal my shit, steal everything from me!" Jolene continued.

"Who the fuck are you?" Lee questioned, his rifle aimed at the woman, who only laughed. He continued, "Look, it's not safe up here in the woods. You gotta come back to the dairy."

"Ha ha! Oh, it's a hell of a lot safer up here than there, you best believe!" Jolene argued, a crazed expression on her dirty face. "Now maybe you didn't hear me last time, when I asked you sweet. Put your damn guns down! You think I won't kill you? I'm gonna take this here crossbow and put a nice, sharp arrow right through your eyeball, and into your goddamn brain. You're not men, you're monsters. Take what they want, destroy it all. Take a can of beans, take a little girl..."

She kept rambling on until Lee interrupted her, "Where did you get this hat?" he yelled.

"The little girl," Jolene said.

"You STOLE it from her!" Lee yelled.

"You stole her from ME!" Jolene yelled right back.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Lee questioned.

"You know what, I changed my mind. I'm shootin' this arrow right through your balls. String 'em up right on that tree there," she said crazily, still aiming her weapon. "Then I'm gonna head down to that farm and kill every person I see."

"Just put your weapon down," Lee tried to persuade. "There's three of us, and one of you. Whatever happens here, one of us are going to kill you," he said.

"Kill me?" Jolene asked incredulously. "You can't kill me, they tried. Killin' everywhere! Take all the dead folks you want, we'll make more! Go on! Tell him, boy! Tell him-" She kept yelling, but was interrupted when Danny shot her right between the eyes. Jolene then fell to the ground dead, and Lee stared incredulously at Andy and Danny.

"You straight up murdered that woman!" Lee yelled.
