Clementine POV.
Clementine just stood with her mouth open at Vernon. She was in absoloute shock at what she just heard.
Her fault? No, it couldn't be! No no no no! Lee! Not lee!
"No no no! Lee isnt dead! He cant be!" She cried.
Vernon looked sad at what he was doing to her, but he had to keep it going. He had to get out of there, and this was the only way.
"Im sorry Clementine. But he is." Vernon said coldly.
Clementine just backed away and collapsed backwards. She started to crawl backwards away from the people. Tears rimmed her eyes as she shook her head at Vernon.
"No! Stay away! You're lying! Lee! Lee!"
Clementine turned to run, running directly into an older man. He looked like he was in his mid fourties, with slightly balding brown hair. He took her by the arm, gently but firmly, and started draggin her to the boat.
"Lee! Lee!" She screamed. "Lee! Help! Please! Im sorry! Lee!"
He practically threw her into the boat, where they loaded the last bag of supplies. The other people held her down.
"Lee!" She screeched, flailing. Tears pouring out of her eyes.
Vernon turned back to the stranger, who extended a hand of thanks. He took it and smiled at theman.
"Thank you, Vernon. Ill take care of this monster Lee. Then, ill meet you up the river."
"understood." Vernon replied.
Vernon climbed into the boat just as someone turned it on. They had enough fuel to last for a long time, but little food. They were going to have to make a few stops along the way, thats for sure.
"Where are we going?" One man asked.
Vernon looked over at Clementine, who had collapsed on the boat floor and was crying. They had tied her dow so she couldnt run.
"North." Vernon said. "Lets go towards Michigan."
...
LEES POV
Lee pulled his gun out and shot the peice of paper. Twice. Two bullet hols went directly through Vernons name. After, he slowly lowered the gun. Smoke rising from the muzzle.
Christa looked concerned. She walked forward and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Dont worry Lee. We can get her back." She said. Lee didnt respond.
"We sure as fucking hell are gonna get her back!" Kenny cursed. "Ill fuck that shitbird up so much he'll wish he had cancer and DIED while he had the chance!"
Everyone waited for Lee. Who was still staring in the same direction.
Lee slowly raised his head, looking at Christa, Ben, and Omid. His face expressionless.
"I approve of that plan... Kenny."
He reloaded his gun and walked past everyone. Heading out the gate and towards the direction of the water.
Kenny turned to Christa, Omid, and Ben.
"Well, what the fuck are you waiting for? C'mon."
They followed.
Lee started out slow, then he started to speed up. Speed-walking until he started jogging, then full on sprinting towards the water. A look of feirce determination in his eyes.
"Lee! Wait up!"
But he wasnt going to stop.
He reached the end of the road, just outside of Crawford. He saw the dead bodies were still Attatched to the spikes. But he didnt care.
When he saw that there was no boats, he started to panic. He couldnt let them get away in a boat! It would be pretty much impossible to catch up then!
Then, he saw one making its way downriver. There was a group of people on it, and he recognized Clementne hat in the distance. He stated running along the shore, waving and yelling Clementine's name. They didnt hear him, though. The boat must be to loud.
"Clemen-Oof!"
A figure came out of nowhere and tackled Lee. Lee went flying backwards, and he and the figure rolled along the dusty, bloody pavement. Lee sheilded his face from blows from this unidentified opponent. It was a man, slightly older than Lee with balding brown hair. The man looked terrible.
His enemy pulled a knife out and had it inched from Lee's neck. Lee fought, bringing his hand up to grab the mans wrist and hold it back the best he could. But his grip slipped and the man dug his knife into Lee's left shoulder. Lee screamed in agony, Breathing hard, he swung a fist around and nailed the man across the face. The man stumbled off Lee's chest and dropped the knife. The knife slid further away from the two of them. They resorted to fist fighting.
Kenny, Christa, Omid, and Ben came around the corner that moment. Seeing wha was happening, Kenny immediatly raced to his aid.
"Get the fuck off him, motherfucker!" Kenny yelled. A look of surprise crossed the mans face, but he climbed off Lee and pulled out a fully loaded gun. He aimed it at Kennys chest.
BANG!
But it wasnt Kenny who got shot.
The stranger started coughing, holding his gun, shaking. Blood came out of his mouth as he started to stumble. A bloody hole appeared in the back of his neck, and he collapsed on his knees. He made gurgling cries as his mouth filled with Blood. His gun fell to the ground as he finally collapsed. Blood pouring out of his mouth.
Lee had his face contorted in pain as he held his shoulder, which was bleeding a latge amount of blood. Christa came over and placed a rag onto his wound. Lee looked upset, but he couldnt help but partially smile when he saw where the bullet came from. That familiar red hoodie. The blonde hair. The hook.
"Thanks, Molly." He said.
