Chapter 5- Macon
Merry Christmas everybody, has a gift I bring y'all the fifth chapter of the story.
Enjoy.
Disclaimer- I don't own the walking dead.
Hours passed since the incident on Hershel's farm, nobody was saying anything, everyone felt remorse, Kenny felt bad because he didn't help Shawn when he needed, Lee felt like he caused Shawn's death, if he was faster and stronger maybe he could of saved his life, but nobody felt more remorse than Raf, he had a gun but he froze, shooting a gun was far more difficult than what he expected, it wasn't like in GTA were shooting guns was just another hobby, and you could do all that by picking a controller, Guns were heavy and harder to point than what he expected, in the end Hershel was right, Raf had found a new group, but he needed to learn how to shoot if he was going to protect it, he was determent now, has soon has they find a safe place to stay he would learn how to shoot.
Suddenly, the truck stopped (out of gas).
"Well this is as far as we're going." Kenny announced.
"Then it's far enough." Lee confirmed.
Everybody got out of the truck, they finally arrived at Macon.
Raf looked around him and basically saw the typical, street supermarket, there was stores on both sides, there was a TV store, a gun store, a drug store and a food market, what Raf didn't expect was it being so empty, he also didn't expect it to see car's wrecked and blood on the street floor.
"I expected Macon to be a more busy type of town" Raf said.
"It usually is, I guess when the death walks, people just disappear." Lee said.
But then Duck noticed something "Look." He said pointing at a man who was watching something under a truck.
Kenny decided to speak "Hey there! You friendly? Truck's run out of gas."
The man turned to them, and unsurprisingly it wasn't a man, it was a walker.
"FUCK!" Kenny cursed.
Before anybody could say anything, more walkers came, in a blink of an eye they were surrounded.
"We're trapped!" Katjaa said fearfully.
Right after that a walker got behind Duck and tried to bite him "AHH! NO! NO!" Duck screamed.
But before, the dead could bite him a gunshot rang in the air.
The walker felt to the grown (Covering Duck's face with muck and blood), the group looked at Raf, but it wasn't him, they then saw a brown haired woman pointing a glock pistol at the walkers, there was two males standing there, one was Asian with a blue baseball cap, the other was a chubby blond guy.
"RUN!" Said the Asian guy.
They all ran to the drug store, while the woman kept firing a few more rounds, once they were all in the Asian guy locked the gate with a combination locker.
Inside the drug store, there were two more survivors, one black aired woman and one elderly man, who was quite muscular by the looks of it and had a long nose, the downside was that they weren't happy to see Lee and the group.
"We can't take risks like this!" The black haired woman said.
"We can't just let people die either!" The woman with the gun said.
"When I say.. "That door stays shut no matter what." I FUCKING mean it. We don't know who these people are, they could be dangerous." Said the black haired woman.
"Or worst they could of lead them right thought us." The old man stated.
Raf decided to intervene "We have kids with us" Raf said worrying about Clem and Duck.
"I see one little girl." The old man said pointing at Clementine.
While this was going on Clem was pulling Lee's arm (So he could notice her) "What is it Clem?" Lee said while looking down at Clem.
"I… I have to pee." She said quietly, and a little embraced.
"In a minute Clem" Lee assured Clem. With that they went back to the argument.
"They have kids Lilly." The Asian guy said to the black haired woman (Whose name was Lilly).
The statement didn't seem to work with her "Those things outside don't care!"
"Maybe you should go join 'em, then. You'll have something in common." Kenny said angrily.
"She's the leader here, but it looks like she's losing control over her people." Lee said clearly mocking Lilly's group leader performance.
Lilly didn't liked the comment "If you were in my shoes you would be the..."
But before Lilly could finish something happened "Holly shit." The old man said looking at Duck who's face was being clean by Katjaa "Son of a bitch, one of them is BITTEN!" He stated.
The situation was clear, the old guy was thinking that Duck was bitten.
"He wasn't bitten." Lee stated glaring at the old man.
"Hell he wasn't!" The old man said not believing. "We have to end this now!" He said while approaching Duck.
"Over my dead body!" Kenny said while getting between Duck and the old man.
"We'll dig one hole." He said smiling evilly.
"No, I'm cleaning him up, there's no bite, he's fine." Katjaa assured while continuing on cleaning him up.
But the old guy didn't believe. "Don't you fucking people get it?! We already SEEN this happen. We let someone with a bite stay and we all end up bitten." He informed.
"Shut up!" Kenny said angrily.
"We gotta trow him out, or smash his head in." The old guy said not caring that he was a little boy.
"KENNY STOP HIM!" Katjaa said panicking.
"Lee, what do we do about this guy?" Kenny asked.
"We kick his ass!" Lee said crossing his arms and glaring at the old man.
"That's what i'm thinking." Kenny agreed.
The situation was getting out of control.
"Everyone CHILL THE FUCK OUT!" The woman with the gun exclaimed.
"Nobody is doing anything." Lilly said.
"Shut up Lilly!" He then turned to the woman of the gun. "And you shut the fuck up! They will find us and they will get us, and none of this will fucking matter, and now we're about to be trapped in here with one of those things!."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Kenny asked.
"HE'S BITTEN, that's how you turn TURN!" He explained.
"He's not bitten, Lee please stop him, it's upsetting him." Katjaa begged, worrying about her child.
Lee decided to take a more calm approach "It's Larry right? Man this is his son."
But that didn't work "Look around dumbass. I've got a daughter in here, you've got a daughter in here. Get your head out of your ass, boy." Larry said.
"We've all got people in here and we can figure this out without killing anybody. There's another way." Lee said.
"Yes, with a shovel." Larry said in an threatening tone.
The anger on Kenny's face intensified, and it was visible that he was ready for anything "I'm gonna kill him Kat! Just worry about duck."
"Lee?" Clementine called, who managed to find the bathroom door.
"Yeah?" Lee asked.
"There's someone in here." Clem said realizing the door was locked,
"It's just locked, key's behind the counter,,, probably." Lee said.
Back to the argument. "Hey i'm not the bad guy here, i'm just looking out for my daughter." Larry said trying to justify his actions.
"No, you're just the guy arguing for killing a kid." Kenny said.
"He's covered in MUCK! she'll find the bite WATCH." Larry insisted.
"SHE WON'T!" Kenny said.
"And if she does?" Larry asked.
"It's a little boy, I think we can handle him." Lee said.
"A little boy?! He'll be an uncontrollable man eater!" Larry said.
"It's not gonna happen!" Kenny said.
"It is. And we're tossing him out NOW!" Larry finally said.
Raf had enough of that argument, he immediately, grabbed the shotgun and pointed at Larry's head (The shotgun didn't had any bullets, but they didn't need to know that yet).
Larry didn't approach either Kenny or Duck, he just stared at Raf with an angry look on his face, but he wasn't scared.
"Have we calm down?" Raf asked looking at Larry straight in the eyes.
"You're pointing that gun on me boy? I'm not the one who's bitten!" Larry said.
"You don't fucking know that! And until we do you're gonna STAND DOWN soldier!" Raf exclaimed.
Soldier, Larry hadn't been called that in decades, it's a word that brings him lots of memories, he stood in the same place with his arms crossed but he didn't backed down "Who made you general and boy scout chief, at the same time boy? You think you know better?" Larry asked.
"Dad let's just sit down." Lilly said trying to calm Larry.
But he didn't backed away "Lilly, I'm handling this."
"I'm just doing what you think you're doing right now. I'm protecting my group. You don't know anything about how the bite works, even if Duck was bitten, it would take at least half a day for him to turn." Raf informed him.
Everybody was hearing this "How would you know that?" Larry asked.
Right after that, Katjaa finished cleaning Duck's face (like expected he didn't had a scratch) "He's fine he doesn't have a scratch." Katjaa announced.
"Not a scratch, how about that soldier?" Raf asked.
"It's Larry, and I'm fucking sorry." He finally apologized.
"Good!" Kenny said.
"Now dad, let's just sit down." Lilly said.
"Yeah, alright." Larry said finally calming down.
But before things could calm down, a scream filled the air.
The scream came from Clementine, there was a walker in the bathroom who was now chasing her.
"JESUS!" Larry screamed.
Lee immediately ran to the walker and grabbed him "Get away from her, you son of a bitch!" Lee said.
But then the walker turned to Lee and tried to bite his neck of. But it was stopped by The woman of the glock who shoot the walker in the head, killing him.
But the sound of the gun shoot only brought another problem.
The herd outside, heard the gunshot, they were now beating on the walls from the outside.
The group hid behind the counter, they were all waiting for the worst.
"They're gonna get in." Larry whispered.
"Have faith, soldier." Raf told him.
But then miraculously, the walkers stopped, a sound of a machine gun could be heard "Is that the military?" Lee asked.
"Thank god for whatever it is." The Asian man said.
But Larry, AGAIN, wasn't happy "We almost die because of this bitch, and her itchy trigger finger! That was stupid, that was… ARGHH!" Larry felt to the ground, holding a hand on his chess.
"Lilly ran to him "Dad!"
"What's wrong with him?" Raf asked.
"It's his heart." Lilly informed.
"My pills." Larry weakly said.
"Nitroglycerin pills?" Katjaa asked.
"Yes, we've been trying to get into the pharmacy since we got here! Please try to get in there! Behind the counter were the pills are!" Lilly said.
"we'll get there somehow." Lee assured.
"Thank you so much." Lilly thanked. "We need nitroglycerin pills. Please get in there. I'll keep an eye on my dad."
"Everyone else should get comfy and look for anything useful, we could be here a while." Kenny said.
"I'm starting this drug store isn't an permanent situation." The Asian man said.
"You're right this ain't exactly Ft. Knox." Kenny agreed.
"What do you suggest?" Lee asked.
"We need as much gas as possible so we can all get out of downtown Macon. Fast." The Asian man proposed.
"Sounds good." Raf agreed.
"Then I'll head out and get gas." He said. "There's a Motel not too far from here, out towards the end of Peachtree. I'll work my way towards it then loop back, siphoning what I can."
"Sounds good to me." Lee said.
"Well, it's gotta get done, plus i'm quick and I know Macon."
"Local?" Lee asked.
"Born and raised."
"If you're gonna do that, here's a walkie-talkie if you get in a light spot. Hopfully you won't need it" Lee said giving him the walkie-talkie.
"Cool."
"Clementine has the other one, if you need anything you call her" Lee said.
"And you what's your name?" Kenny asked.
"It's Lilly, my dad's Larry." Lilly said.
"Keep a good eye on him. These boys will work on getting you your medicine." Kenny assured. He then looked at the fat guy "And you, you keep an eye on that front door. Your our look-out."
"It's Doug, you've got it."
"And I'm Carley." The woman of the gun said.
"OK Carley. you'll shift in with Doug when he needs it. For now get some rest. You're a good shot and I'd like to keep it that way." Kenny said.
"You got it boss." Carley nodded.
"Hey Asian guy, you haven't told us your name." Raf said.
"Oh… it's Glenn."
"Nice to meet you, These are Kenny, his wife Katjaa, his son Duck, This is Lee and the little on is Clementine" Raf introduced the group to the new people "I'm Rafael de Oliveira, But y'all can call me Raf." Raf introduced himself.
"Now get him those pills." Kenny finally said looking at Larry.
And so the quest for the pills Begun.
