A/N: Here is chapter 2 which I'm glad to say I was able to write more freely rather than only using situations from the game. Remember to leave any reviews or advise. God bless you all.

"As long as the walkers aren't completely dehydrated, and the fence has enough juice, yeah, seems plausible." Doug explained as the three trailed behind Mark, Ben and two farm boys.

"The electricity basically cooks you from the inside out, right?" Doug continued.

Carley simply shrugged her shoulders while Lee gave him a look of confusion.

"I guess so…." He said finally.

"So if a walker stays in contact with the fence, it'll eventually cook it's brain. Probably takes a while though."

Carley gave a slight chuckle at Doug's explanation. In truth he always seemed to make her laugh with his vast knowledge of technology.

"…and that can't be a good smell. …unless it smells like jerky… Man I could go for some jerky."

Carley laughed again which brought a smile to Doug's face.

"Didn't I offer you jerky at the motor inn?" Lee asked.

"You offered us both that if I recall." answered Carley

"Well we felt we owed you Lee." Said Doug

"You guys don't owe me anything, you know that right?"

We do actually thought Doug. He still remembered how Lee's quick reflexes was the reason both of them we're still alive today. Honestly Doug thought he was a goner when he saw Lee reach for Carley's purse back at the drugstore. Before Lee literally hopped over one of the racks and grabbed Doug just in the nick of time.

"I think we owe you a lot more than a piece of jerky Lee." He said.

Carley changed the subject.

"So glad to get away from the motor in. This Lilly, Kenny thing is starting to get out of hand. Personally I'd be happier if you started to take charge more."

Doug couldn't agree more. Lee was the type of guy you would want to lead the group.

"She's right you know" He said.

Lee looked to the ground seemingly in deep thought.

"Nah," He said. "Lilly's fine and Kenny's just looking out for his family. They don't need me getting in the middle."

"You're already in the middle of every argument." Carley stated. "It's like Kenny and Lilly personally seek you out to choose a side. Which somehow you usually avoid doing.

"It's not about who's in charge. We all work together we stand a better shot of staying alive. I think Mark said it best." Lee replied.

"True but every group needs a leade….." Doug began before one of the Farm boys approached them.

"Why don't you tell us a little more about yourself, Lee? Andy asked him.

Lee moved up to match the pace of the brothers as they seemed to bombard him with questions. They asked him how many people they had in their group, where he was from, and even who was the leader.

"Wonder why they want to know all that." Carley said suspiciously.

"Eh…. Probably just making conversation" Doug replied. He was actually glad to get some alone time with her. Back at the motel they were nearly always either sleeping or doing some kind of duty. Whether it was watch, working on the wall, or scavenging for food there was always something keeping them apart.

"So Carley how's… um everything going?" He asked

Carley stared at him blankly. "Oh you know dead trying to kill us all, not getting much sleep and almost nothing in my stomach, you know the usual." She jokingly replied.

"Oh yeah wel….."

"It's okay Doug trying to spark conversation?"

"Well yeah we just don't seem to have time to talk nowadays, just you and me I mean."

"Well truth be told, not a lot to talk about."

"Yeah I know that but….." Doug started before realizing Carley seemed lost in space.

"Um Carley?" He said

"Huh…. Oh yeah I'm listening."

"You were staring at Lee again." He accused

"Not so loud" She replied

Doug crossed his arms. He wasn't really mad, but some part of him couldn't help but feel envious.

"Carley it's just…."

"You think you're gonna cut me out of this?" A voice said in the distance stopping Doug from what he was going to say.

Andy signaled for everyone to get down as the group made their way to the nearby ledge.

Below them were two masked gunman in some kind of argument.

"Those look like the people who raided my camp." Said Ben

"Who are they?" Lee asked before Andy shushed him

He then whispered something to Lee which was too quiet for Doug to hear.

"There's only two of them" said Carley.

Doug knew what she was implying though he himself would rather avoid a fight. Luckily Danny assured them that there were more than two of them out there.

"Don't worry. Danny and I got you covered if something happens, but let's just wait this out and hope they move one." Andy said.

Suddenly one of the gunman started to shoot the other repeatedly with his shotgun. He then left his supposed friend dead on the road swearing profusely as he did so.

Once he was gone Andy motioned for them to start moving again.

Doug looked back on the fallen bandit. He couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for him but at the same time part of him was confused.

We've been here for three months why haven't we run into these guys before?


"So what exactly can you do?" Kenny asked Travis.

In truth the teenager didn't know exactly how to answer. This could be the difference between us staying here and getting thrown out. He thought.

Kenny must have noticed his struggle and decided to help him out.

"Can you shoot a gun?" He asked.

"Oh yeah!" replied Travis. "My dad was in special forces and he taught me how to shoot."

"Well good maybe we could get you on watch or you could go out with the hunting group."

"That sounds cool" Travis replied

"Good now what about your friend?" Kenny asked

Now Travis was officially stumped. Ben could run and hide, though sometimes he would even mess that up. He was not too coordinated and was often nervous. He remembered How Ben was in high school which at this point seemed like an eternity ago even though it had been roughly just over three months. Always the kid that was afraid of his own shadow. If he wasn't so good act playing the trumpet Ben probably wouldn't have fit in anywhere around school. That was how he and Travis met and the two had been good friends ever since.

"Hey kid?" Kenny called breaking Travis' trip down memory lane.

"Oh yeah um….. Ben I don't know how he is with a gun." He said. Though in truth he could imagine Ben's hands shaking if you put any sort of weapon between.

"Okay well is there anything you know he is good with?" Kenny asked

"Well I guess he may be able to scavenge."

"What do you mean may be able to?"

"Well we haven't really had to before. When we were at the gym there was a good supply of cafeteria food there which we took with us when we left."

"Then you're camp got raided?" Kenny asked.

Travis bit his lip. He didn't want to rethink that. He wasn't sure who was alive or who was dead all he knew was Mr. Parker had told everyone to run. So that's what everyone did. As far as he knew he and Ben were the last of their whole group or there could be as many as half a dozen still out there.

"Yeah our camp got raided."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Said a little voice from behind him.

Looking back he saw the little girl. Um Clementine he thought her name was listening in on their conversation.

"Um we'll talk later" Kenny said as he departed to work on the RV.

"Thank you" Travis said to Clementine.

"You wanna color with us?" She asked.

Travis at the moment was worried about Ben and to a lesser extent the others. However he wasn't doing anything at the moment so he figured he might as well.

"Sure" he responded and lied down on the concrete. Clementine handed him a piece of paper and some crayons. He chuckled slightly remembering back to pre-school days. He wasn't the best when it came to art.

"So is um… that Lee guy your father?" He asked Clementine as they drew.

The girl never looked up from her picture but the other kid um Duck Travis thought he was called gave him a wary look.

"No" she replied "He just found me you know at the beginning of all this."

Travis wanted to ask more but Duck had yet to take his eyes off the boy so he decided to drop it.

"So um Duck is it? Where are you guys from?" He asked

"Florida" He replied

"Oh? Well how'd did you guys end up here?"

"Well we were visiting my aunt up in Memphis and we're on our way back when those monsters started to attack." He stated

"We met up with them on this farm….." Clementine began to say before she abruptly stopped and went back to coloring.

"What….?" Travis asked as he noticed Duck had stopped coloring.

"Um it's nothing" Clementine quickly responded.

Travis watched as Duck seemingly just stared at his paper in deep thought. He was surprised as though he only just met this boy he didn't seem like much of a thinker.

Since he seemingly pinched nerves in both the children, Travis thought it best he remained quiet for now and focus on coloring.

Just then he heard the front gates opening. A rush of excitement combined with his worry as he stood up and headed towards the gate. The two children followed closely after. He was hit with a wave of relief as he saw Ben accompanied by Carley and Doug.

"So what's the deal?" Kenny asked them.

Carley handed Kenny as basket to which the man showed much excitement once he peered down at the contents of the basket.

"Is this real?" He asked.

"Yup apparently they were baked fresh this morning." Replied Doug

Lilly then came over to inspect the basket.

"Is this all they gave you?" She asked.

Doug seemed to squirm at the inquiry.

"Well…" He began

"We a ate some on the way" Carley intervined. "But don't worry they said they would make a whole meal for our group tonight."

"Are Lee and Mark staying to bring it back" Asked Katjaa

"No, they actually want the whole group to come. You see their cow is sick and they could really use a vet."

Lilly seemed a bit suspicious but Travis doubted this group had any other options at this point. He had heard the complaints about not having enough food and had just witnessed the man who save him give out for small items and call it the days rations. Though he had only been here a short time he knew this group was desperate, but then again who wasn't nowadays.

"Well then since you already ate, you three wouldn't mind staying behind and watching the motor inn till we got back would you?" She said finally

Carley seemed a little ticked at that but didn't offer any resistance.

"Fine." She said.

"Great," Kenny stated "Everybody else let's move out."

Lilly handed Doug her rifle while Kenny grabbed a pistol. Travis was not sure where his role would be in all this so he simply remained where he was.

"You too kid" Kenny said as he pointed at him.

Travis walked over to the gate where the group was preparing to leave. Ben walked up to him.

"So how is it really there?" he asked

Ben seemed kinda nervous but that was normal.

"Um I think it's okay it looks practically untouched." He replied.

That was good news. Travis was tired of seeing everything run down and rotting. It would be nice to see someplace that reminded him of how things were before.

"Come on let's go" Kenny called out.

Travis patted Ben on the shoulder. "I'll try to bring you back some leftovers" He said as he went to join the group.

"Be safe" Ben called out

Travis turned to face his friend.

"Aren't I always."

A/N Well hope everyone was able to make it to the end. If you haven't noticed already I am trying to tell this story from people's perspective other than Lee since we got his perspective from the game. I also will continue to try and show my version of what others were doing while Lee was away from the group. Anyway thank you all for reading and God bless.
