Chapter 3- A familiar face.
Disclaimer- I don't own The Walking Dead (But I own my character)
Rafael started walking, he had a fearless expression on his face, he was ready to defeat any obstacles, and he wasn´t afraid on defending himself, he was going back to Portugal even if he died trying, he has family there and friends and there was the possibility of things being better there.
About five minutes into his journey he discovered something odd, it was a wrecked police car turned upside down on the side of the road (witch was a small hill).
Because of morality, karma and the scout code (code 9- the scout helps the next one in any occasion), he climbed down the hill and went to check if someone was alive there.
He found a police officer (but it wasn't a pretty sight).
The cop was dead, he had half of his face blown away, but there was something weird about this cop, his skin was very rotten, like if he had been dead for days or weeks and he didn't smell good.
Rafael looked to his right and saw a shotgun (surely the gun that killed him), he picked up the weapon and check it.
"Sem balas (Out of bullets)" he said, but then he gave a better look at the police officer, he had bite marks on his neck, obviously from those things roaming around.
Even know it had no bullets Rafael decided to keep the shotgun (He could try to find a gun store at Macon), but then he noticed a gun holster on the police officer, he open it up and saw inside a fully loaded magnum revolver gun (also known has his favorite weapon).
"Bacano! (Nice!)" He said while grinning.
So Rafael put the shotgun on his back and the gun holster (with the gun) on his waist.
Now his confidence was on a new high, now he knew nobody would mess with him.
But before he left he decided to say something to the dead cop, "Thank you for the weapons my friend, if I had a shovel I would give you a decent burial, but since I don't i'm afraid I have to leave you here" he stared at the dead body "You spend the remaining of your life saving lives, I respect that, rest in peace dear officer." He finally said while taking his hat for a minute and then finally walking towards the woods.
After a few seconds he notice a fence separating the woods, he climbed the fence.
He was now in a house yard with a swimming pool and a tree house, this made him a little nervous, he knew Americans were very protective of their privacy and the last thing he needed was some old man chasing him with a shotgun.
But the house seemed empty.
But then he hear some voices,
Rafael went and check on the voices, they were from 4 people (3 adults and 1 child), Rafael didn't know if he should talk to those people, but then he saw they had a pickup and he realized that going to Macon on foot was stupid, so he decided to take his chances with those people.
He opened the gate separating the house and went to those people (who notice Rafael entrance)
(The 4 people were 3 mans and 1 little girl, the first two looked like typical farm boys, one a them was skinny wear a green shirt, some jeans and had black hair, the second one was much fatter he wear a dirty with T-shirt, some jeans and had brown air, the third adult was an Afro-American, he wore a dark blew shirt and some jeans, his air was short and black and he had a bear, he looked familiar, and finally the little girl was wearing a cream dress and some purple crocks, she had an Afro and wore a blue hat with a D on it).
The fat one immediately got scared "Please don't eat us!"
"Calm yourselves gentleman, I mean y'all no arm" Rafael said while putting his hands up.
They calm themselves when they realized that it wasn´t a dead person "Phew, I thought you were one of those things roaming around." Said the skinny guy.
"Well sorry to disappoint y'all." He said joking.
"I see you're a scout." Said the skinny guy "But where is your group?"
"Gone, back in Atlanta, it's bad out there" He explained "But right now I'm heading towards Macon."
This caught the attention of the familiar man "My family is from Macon, maybe you can come with me." He suggested.
The man looked very familiar to Rafael, liked he had seen him somewhere, but before he decided to introduce himself "Maybe we can my fellow American friend, but where are my matters?" He said "My name is Rafael de Oliveira, I'm a scout straight out of Portugal" He said smirking "But y'all can call me Raf".
"Nice to meet you, I'm Shawn Greene." Said the skinny man.
"I'm Chet." Said the fat one
"Name's Lee." Said the familiar man.
Lee, wasn't that the name of the guy who was arrested for killing the state senator? (Who was sleeping with his wife) But before jumping into conclusions, He needed to be sure. "Just because of curiosity, what's your last name?"
Raf notice that Lee did not expected that question, but he eventual answered "Everett, Lee Everett".
It all made sense now, he was the one who killed the state senator, for a second Raf looked at him, not knowing what to think, but he decided that just because he killed one person who was sleeping with his wife, didn't made him a bad person, beside he was a teacher (a respectful person in Raf's mind) and by the tone of his voice he did not seem like a bad person. Raf just smiled and extended his hand for a handshake "Pleasure to meet you Mr Everett" He said while shaking Lee´s hand.
But then Raf notice the little girl with the cap, he got down to her size with a friendly grin on his face "Hello there, what's your name?"
The little girl seemed to be a little nervous, but she found the courage to answer. "Clem-Clementine." She said
"That's a very special name, and that's a very cool hat." Raf said.
Clementine started blushing like a tomato "Thank you," She said with a little grin.
It all seemed fine but then Shawn notice something on Rafael "Where did you get the weapons?"
"Found them on dead cop, he had half of his face blown up" This made Shawn and Chet eyes to widen, although Lee seemed more sad than impressed (Maybe that was the cop who was taking him to the joint, and then they had an accident).
"You know how to use them?" Asked Chet.
"I've seen movies, I've played video games, so i'd say yes, but even if not the shotgun is empty and the gun only has 6 bullets" He answered.
"Well if you help us out clear the way for the pickup, I could take you to my family's farm" Shawn proposed.
Raf didn't trusted farmers, but he had no choice (and these seemed pretty decent), he nodded with his head.
But then the grunts and moans from those dead people could be heard behind the cars. "Them monsters coming, we gotta go." Chet whisper while hiding behind a truck.
There was a car blocking the way of the pickup, so Shawn, lee and Rafael started to push the car out of the way (even Clementine helped).
When the road was clear they immediately got into the vehicle (Shawn, Lee and Clementine entered the front of the vehicle while Rafael and Chet got into the back)
Shawn stepped on the gas and drove away from the dead people, but then he said something to Lee "For just some guy it seems like you've saved a bunch of lives today" Rafael understood that they didn't know who Lee was (And he was gonna keep it that way).
So Rafael got to met new people, got two awesome weapons and he was going to a safe place, things were looking up for him.
That was chapter 3 (Leave a review).
