Lee continued his investigation, now wanting to find about the scuff of pink chalk that he had just found. Since he noticed Clementine coloring nearby, he decided to go back over to her.

"Hey Clem, do you have any pink chalk?" Lee asked, kneeling down beside her.

"No, it's gone somewhere," Clementine responded with a frown.

"Hmm." Lee made a note of what she said. If it wasn't Clem, then who else could it have been?

"Do you want blue?" Clem asked happily, hoping that he would play with her.

"No, no, it's okay," Lee answered. However, he had to admit that it was pretty cute of her to say that.

"Psst, Lee!" a new voice chimed in, and Lee turned around to notice Duck beckoning him over. He frowned, but he went over to the little boy anyway.

"I found something!" Duck declared.

"What is it?"

Duck pulled something very familiar out of his pocket. "I found this piece of pink chalk and a scuff of it over by the front gate!"

"Really?" Lee asked.

"Totally!" Duck exclaimed, "I was combing the scene for clues and-"

"Yeah Duck, I got it. Good job," Lee interrupted, and began making his way to the gate of the motor inn. He was surprised in the little boy's abilities. Duck run in front of Lee though, and proceeded to hold up his hand for a high five. Lee humored him, and high fived him in return.

"Cool!" Duck yelled.

Lee saw the scuff though, and decided to follow it outside the gate. He pushed the makeshift doors open, and headed outside the walls. "You stay here, Duck," Lee warned.

"Okay," Duck shrugged.

Once Lee was sure that Duck was staying put, he moved the dumpsters aside and was now just outside of the motel. He decided to turn left and walked down the path a little ways, until he came across sight of a grate. He saw something inside, and decided to take a look.

Lee removed the grate's cover and got a peek inside. There was a brown paper bag full of something, and much to his surprise when he opened it, he saw that there was a bunch of medicine inside, including some of Larry's nitroglycerin pills.

"Son of a bitch..." Lee muttered. He now knew that Lilly was right about there being a traitor, and quickly made his way back to her room.

Lilly was sitting on her bed, still looking stressed, when she noticed him. "You haven't come up with anything, have you?"

"I came up with this," Lee replied, handing over the bag, which she opened. "It's got a bunch of meds in it. It was in a grate on the outside wall and there's a sign on the other one."

"Holy fuck," Lilly glared at nothing in particular.

"Yeah."

"Okay, we line everybody up. Everybody," Lilly ordered. "Somebody is killing us. Stealing from that supply is the same as slipping into your room at night and cutting your throat while you sleep. You die. What is the difference? What if Clementine or Sarah gets sick and we don't have what we need? Or my dad's..." She looked out the window, and her eyes widened. "What the hell?!"

She stood up to look out the window.

"YOU DON'T FUCKING STEAL FROM US!" a man's voice was heard from outside Lilly's room.

"Who the fuck is that!?" Lee asked. "They've got our people out there!" he exclaimed. And he was right. There were men in masks holding the rest of the group hostage. Sarah could be seen crying and trying to reach for her father. "What do we do?" Lee asked, looking over at Lilly with frantic eyes.

"Oh, shit!" Lilly ran to get her gun. "They're gonna start kicking in doors any second."

"Lilly, what the hell are you-"

"Stall them," she said quickly.

"What?" Lee questioned.

"Keep them talking," she opened the window in her room to climb out. "Do whatever it takes to make him not shoot," she explained, and climbed out the window.

"YOU MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR LIVES!" the man yelled from outside again.

"Shit..." Lee barely managed to get out, but he knew he had to do it. He had to do it to save his group.

He walked out of Lilly's room, holding his hands up where the bandits would be able to see them. He knew how to remain calm in a situation like this, and slowly approached them.

"ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT!" the man continued. "Drew, start putting your boot to these doors!"

"Yeah!" the bandit known as Drew cried.

The leader finally noticed Lee's presence, and pointed his firearm at him.

"Hold it, asshole!"

"Take it easy," Lee tried to reason. "We have more supplies. We can keep the deal going."

He noticed Larry giving him his "famous" glare, but the older man was smart enough to keep his mouth shut, considering that there was a gun pointed at the back of his head.

"Too late, shithead! We ain't giving second chances!" the leader shouted.

Carlos scanned around with his eyes when he noticed Lilly peeking out from an upstairs corner, but he couldn't turn to look at her in his position. But as quickly as she came, Lilly disappeared out of sight.

"It was a mix-up! We'll make it worth your while!" Lee insisted.

"I'm listenin'," the bandit replied.

"What will it take to reach a deal?"

"About twice as much as you've been giving us!"

"You got it! Done," Lee said, still with his hands up.

"Is that so?" the bandit asked. "Well... I suppose we better hash out some terms then," he added.

"I don't like no hash," another bandit interrupted.

"SHUT UP OR I'LL-" But he couldn't finish his sentence because Lilly had shot him in the head from where she was hiding.

"Christ!"

"Oh shit!" Somebody yelled as the group ran from the bandits and took cover from gunfire elsewhere. But it was like the bandits had back up, because before you knew it, they were everywhere.

"We gotta get out of here!" Kenny yelled to Lee.

"No shit!" Lee yelled in reply.

Kenny handed him a gun. "Get those bastards! Cover our people and get them to the RV!"

At that, he turned around and bolted into the RV, getting it ready so that the group could escape as soon as possible. Most of them took cover and hid wherever they could, while Lee and Lilly were in charge of shooting.

Two of the bandits snuck into the motel and took cover behind one of the couches. Lee peeked out from behind the RV and shot the first one square in the forehead. The second one, however, managed to find the hiding spot of Travis, Carlos, and Sarah, causing the young girl to scream.

Lee was shocked to see the bandit shooting Travis, killing him and getting his brains all over Carlos, who grabbed his daughter and ran as fast as he could into another hiding spot; which happened to be with Carley and Ben. Luckily, the following bullets missed both of them.

Lee noticed the same bandit trying to go over to the four of them, but he shot him before he could try anything. Ben, Carley, Sarah, and Carlos ran to the RV, Carlos practically throwing his daughter inside.

"Man, you saved our asses!" Ben thanked.

"Get inside!" Lee ordered, and Ben obliged.

He then heard Katjaa's cries for help, and she was hiding with Duck and Clementine. He shot a few of the bandits that were hiding behind some metal barrels, to clear the way. But Lee noticed that walkers were starting to make their way inside the motel as well. "Katjaa, hurry, come on!" Lee yelled. Clementine didn't hesitate to run into Lee's arms, and then into the RV.

Suddenly, a walker then grabbed the back of Katjaa's head, causing both she and Duck to fall. Lee was able to shoot it, and Kenny came running outside. "Kat! Christ!" He exclaimed, running to his wife and son.

"Lilly, get your dad and get in the RV!" Lee yelled.

"Screw them! Let 'em stay!" Kenny yelled right back as he and his family climbed back in the vehicle.

But Lee wasn't going to leave anyone behind. It was bad enough that they had already lost Travis, so he began to shoot the walkers coming in the gate to buy Lilly and Larry some time.

"Shit!" Carley yelled from inside, grabbing her gun and getting out to help Lee fight off the walkers.

"Lilly! Last chance, get down here! Both of you!" Lee called upstairs.

Lilly looked around at what the motel had become ever so quickly. There were bandits and walkers everywhere; it was no longer safe.

"Shit! Dad, come on!" Lilly yelled, leading Larry away. The two of them managed to make it into the RV (Lee had to credit that Larry was faster than he looked) just as Kenny was beginning to get it into motion.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT BACK THERE?!" Larry screeched. From the back, Sarah whimpered and covered her ears.

"Dad, calm down, I'll handle this," Lilly chided gently.

"Kat! Jesus, are you okay?" Kenny asked frantically, as his wife's head had been busted open.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Katjaa tried to reassure him. She was holding Duck close in her arms.

"Oh shit oh shit oh shit...oh..." Ben muttered, holding his head in his hands. He clearly looked very distressed, as his friend had just gotten killed back there.

"Everything's fine, Ben," Carley tried to assure.

"No, everything's not fine," Lilly stated, "We need to figure out what the hell happened. We just lost everything."

Kenny interrupted. "Well, we're lucky as shit to have this RV!"

"Somebody in here caused this," Lilly said.

"Settle down back there! The bandits have had our number for weeks!" Kenny argued while he drove.

Lilly shook her head. "This is different. Somebody was working with them. Whoever it was, was slipping them our meds. They didn't get their last package so they attacked," she explained.

"Calm down back there, that's nuts!" Kenny said.

"Lee found a bag of supplies hidden outside the wall!"

"It's true," Lee added.
