Nick angrily stomped away towards the courtyard to see that some of the other survivors were beginning to wake up. Clementine ran after Nick, trying to talk to him. One of the survivors watched as Clementine stopped Nick in his tracks.

"Clem, don't even try to convince me that Kenny trusts me."

"He does, Nick. Please believe me. He's just-"

"Broken?"

Clementine looked down as she knew that Nick was right, to a certain extent. "You're wrong about him, Nick. You don't understand how much he's been through."

Nick sighed. "I'm not going through this again. If you want to believe that he's okay, then fine, but he doesn't seem to trust me, despite saying that to me on multiple occasions."

The man watching them walked up to them. "Come on, guys. Please don't fight."

Nick sighed and turned around to walk to his cot. The man followed him as Nick laid down on his wooden cot.

"Come on, Nick. You know that arguing with them is pointless."

"Look, Thomas, I don't want to talk about this now."

Thomas sighed as he knew Nick would need to get over the arguments eventually. Thomas walked over to Clementine, who hadn't moved.

"Look, Clem, are you sure that Kenny's okay? I mean, I'm not saying that he's not a good person, but it seems that he's becoming unhinged."

Clementine didn't answer as she walked away from Thomas with frustration. Thomas shook his head and walked over to his fellow survivors.

"Alright, guys. We're gonna have to get to work."

As Thomas began to give his group orders, Nick just laid on his wooden cot and just stared up at the one above him. Before Nick could think about anything else, he could hear and feel a soft rumbling sound. Nick raised his head in confusion to try to pinpoint where the noise was coming from. He looked outside the metal bars to see vehicles in the distance. Nick's heart raced as he ran up to the roof to try to find Kenny. He saw Kenny staring at the vehicles.

"Kenny?"

"Yeah, I see 'em. Get the guns. We're gonna make a stand."

Nick didn't hesitate as he ran to the armory, with Kenny following him. Kenny and Nick grabbed a large stockpile of guns and ran outside to see the rest of the group looking at them with confusion.

"Hey! What's going on?" Thomas asked Kenny.

"The New Frontier's comin for us. We've gotta make a stand against them."

"Why?"

Kenny stared at Thomas with an angered expression. "Don't question me. These guys are not friendly."

Thomas sighed as he grabbed a gun, with the rest of his group eventually joining in. Nick and Kenny ran to the roof with sniper rifles. Kenny and Nick ducked behind cover as they heard the vehicles stopping right in front of the building.

"Look, there's no one here. What're we doin'" A voice said from below Kenny and Nick.

"We still need to get the supplies, Badger. Once we get 'em, burn this place down. If you can, try to find that bitch Clementine, along with that fuckin' baby."

"With pleasure."

Kenny's eyes widened as he realized that Clementine was still downstairs. Kenny looked at Nick.

"Okay, I'm gonna distract them. You find Clem and get her the hell out of here."

"What about you?"

"I'll be fine. I just need her to be safe, you hear me?"

Nick nodded. Kenny sighed and put his finger on the trigger. Before he could fire, however, he heard Clementine's voice come from below him.

"I'm right here, Max!"

Max looked at Clementine with a sinister smile. "Oh, so now you decided to come back with us."

Clementine looked at Alvin, who she was carrying in her arms. "If you want to take me away, you'll leave this building alone."

"Oh, because people are in there?"

Clementine didn't respond and Max laughed. "Take her and burn this fuckin' building down. I don't give a shit about the supplies."

Badger grabbed Alvin out of Clementine's hands and another soldier bound Clementine's hands. Clementine tried to struggle, but Max began to help the soldier carry her to a New Frontier vehicle.

"Badger, work your magic."

Badger smiled as he took out a Molotov Cocktail and lit the rag. Thomas and his group saw what Badger was doing and ran away from the front door. Kenny realized what was going on and raised up from behind cover and began to take out the soldiers one by one. Max realized what was going on and gestured for a couple of the soldier to use grenades. The soldiers tossed the grenades up onto the roof, near Kenny and Nick. Kenny quickly grabbed the grenade back at the New Frontier. The other grenade made its way into the greenhouse and blew up, creating a fire with the wood inside. The New Frontier vehicles drove away as Nick finally snapped out of his confused state. Kenny shook Nick.

"Come on, kid. Let's get outta here!"

Nick didn't answer and instead tried to follow Kenny downstairs to the main area of the hardware store, but the fire spread too quickly and was blocking the exit. Kenny realized that the only way to escape would be to jump from the roof.

"Hey, are you afraid of heights?" Kenny asked.

Nick didn't answer, but instead stared down at the pavement below.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Kenny climbed over the small wall on the roof and, without hesitation, jumped down. Kenny hit the ground without any problems.

"Come on, kid. Jump!" Kenny yelled up to Nick.

Nick reluctantly climbed up the small wall and jumped down. As Nick fell, Kenny realized that Nick would land improperly and ran over to catch him. As he caught Nick, Kenny fell and hit his head. Dazed, Kenny stood to his feet, trying to get Nick to follow him. Nick ran with Kenny into the woods surrounding Howe's hardware. After they made their escape into the woods, the building began to explode with many walls of fire protruding from multiple areas of the hardware store. Nick and Kenny looked back at store and knew that their whole plan was for nothing. Kenny pulled on Nick's shirt and the two walked away in the direction of The New Frontier vehicles.

"What's the plan, Kenny?"

Kenny looked at Nick. "We save Clementine and we get the hell out of here."
