"What about here?" Glenn asked gently pressing Clementine's forehead.
"Ow…yeah…" Clementine winced.
"So you…hit your head?" Glenn asked.
"Uh-huh." Clementine said timidly.
"You're as clumsy as me." Glenn scoffed. "Yeah, concussion for sure. You got a little bump here, but you'll live."
"How do you know? Are you a doctor?" Clementine asked as she walked with Glenn round to the front of the car.
"Nah, wasn't long ago since I got a concussion." Glenn said with a small chuckle opening the door for Clementine.
"What do you do then?" Clementine asked, jumping into the front seat.
"Uh…I deliver pizza…or did, I guess." Glenn said whilst walking over to the driver's seat. "Now I want some pizza…"
"Me too." Clementine giggled.
"We'll keep our eye out for one." Glenn joked, sticking his keys into the ignition.
"See, this isn't so bad." Clementine said with a happy smile.
"I guess." Glenn smiled as he continued down the highway from Macon to Atlanta. In half silence checking back to Clementine making sure she looked healthy.
"What's that thing?" Clementine asked, looking at an old CB radio built above the buttons and dials.
"A radio…wonder if anybody's on the other end." Glenn said, taking the speaker and clicking the button onto the side.
"Is there anyone?" Clementine asked.
"I gotta speak first." Glenn scoffed. "Hello, hello can anyone hear me? My name is Glenn Rhee, can anyone hear me? Over." Glenn took his hand off the button and listened carefully. He couldn't hear anything. "Hello? Is anyone there?"
"Hello? This is Officer Shane Walsh. Do you read me?" A deep country voice said on the other side of the radio.
Glenn looked over at Clementine with wide, surprised eyes. "Hello! Yes! My name is Glenn!" He gasped.
"Man, this is amazing. Where are you headed? Atlanta?" Shane asked.
"Yeah, into the city. I have friends there." Glenn said.
"…Uh…god. Friend, I'm sorry." Shane sighed. "They're most likely gone. Week or two back, right at the start, they bombed the entire city."
"Bombed…?" Glenn gulped.
"Yeah, 'fraid so." Shane sighed. "Hey, why don't you meet up with us? There are a few of us held up in a rock quarry nearby. Up the mountain. It's dangerous to be alone out here."
Glenn looked over to Clementine who nodded immediately. "Alright, yeah! For sure." Glenn said. "What's the catch? Because…just so you know, I got a kid with me."
"Relax, we ain't gonna do nothing. We got a few people up here. Women, children. We won't hurt you." Shane said. "Especially no little kid."
"If you're sure…" Glenn said.
"Boy, what the fuck you doing?" Another voice said in the background of the radio.
"Jesus, not this again. We're only gonna get through this together by working with each other, Ed." Shane said.
"We got enough people here already." The voice said.
"Ed, please." Another voice said, this one sounding female.
"Woman! Get off me!" The voice yelled, louder than it was before.
"Sit down. Or you will regret it." Shane threatened.
Glenn turned round to Clementine with a nervous look on his face as a tension-filled silence ran through the car. "Hello?" Glenn asked.
"Sorry about that. Stay on the radio, I'll give you directions…" Shane explained.
Three Hours Later
"…Yeah, coming up now." Glenn said driving up the rocky and bumpy road of the mountain. "Damn, hell of a view."
"You should see it from up here." Shane said.
"How many people are there?" Clementine asked
"Yeah, how many are there of you up there?" Glenn asked.
"Uh…jeez, twenty-something of us. Big group but we're getting it together. Some folks are still trying to adjust." Shane said.
"Wow. A lot of people." Glenn said.
"We all help out. It's pretty organized up here, better than down there I'm sure." Shane said. "Hey, I see you coming up."
"Yeah, I see you guys!" Glenn said, driving further up the slope, stopping in front of a group of people, staring at his car.
"…Well, here we go." Glenn said. "Stay…uh…"
"Huh?" Clementine asked.
"Just…stay…y'know, stay close to me." Glenn said, awkwardly.
"Okie-dokie." Clementine said, climbing out of the car, enthusiastically.
Glenn sighed and stepped out walking around to the front of the car. Clementine looked up to him with a smile and took his hand. Glenn looked down at Clem with a nervous and uncomfortable smile. "You must be the Glenn." A man said from within the crowed.
"Shane?" Glenn asked.
The man approached Glenn, he was tall and muscular, appearing even more so next to Glenn. The man had strong and toned facial features and cleanly cut black hair. "That's me. This must be Clementine." Shane said crouching down in front of Clementine.
"Hi…" Clementine said shyly, moving behind Glenn's leg.
Shane smiled and winked at Clementine before standing back up. "Here, let me introduce you to the rest of the group." Shane said, walking Clem and Glenn over to the crowed of people.
This was a pretty short chapter but I didn't really know what to do that was exciting in this one. More of just a talking chapter to introduce the characters. It'll get more exciting :P
