Kenny awoke with a sense of anger. I'll tear these fuckers limb from limb. He looked around him and saw Clementine in the room with him.
"You're alive, thank god!" Clementine said as she hugged Kenny.
Kenny began to cry into Clementine's shoulder as he was grateful to God in heaven.
"Are you alright, Clem?"
"Yeah, but where's Nick?"
Kenny sighed. "I don't know, they knocked him out, but they knocked me out and took me here. Do you know where we are?"
Clementine shook her head to Kenny's frustration. Kenny stood to his feet and immediately began to pace back and forth.
"Okay, we've gotta think of somethin'. There's gotta be some way out of here."
"I've already looked. There's nothing in here."
Kenny shook his head. "Nah, that's not good enough. We need to keep looking."
Kenny kicked the wall in frustration. He paused for minute when he felt the brick move. He kneeled down and observed the brick. He grabbed a hold of it and pulled. The brick came out fairly easily.
"Alright, Clem. You're gonna get out of here."
Clementine looked at Kenny. "What about you?"
Kenny sighed in sadness. "I'm gonna stay behind. I'm not lettin' these monsters get away with killin' a baby."
Kenny paused as he heard footsteps coming towards them. "Shit! Clem, help me move these bricks."
Kenny and Clementine began to tug on the bricks surrounding the loose one. Unfortunately, the bricks refused to move.
"What the fuck?!" Max yelled, looking through the bars of the door.
Kenny looked up at Max with anger. Max opened the door and aimed his rifle at Kenny. Kenny's eyes widened when he saw Badger enter the room. Kenny charged at Badger, but Badger countered with a swing of his rifle. He turned Kenny over and bound his hands. Max kept an eye on Clementine, who was ready to pounce.
"Get her too. Joan has a plan for both of 'em."
Badger smirked at Max and walked over to Clementine. He bound her hands and brought her to her feet.
"Get up!" Badger yelled at Kenny.
"Kenny, please." Clementine begged.
Kenny reluctantly stood to his feet. Max pointed his rifle at Kenny.
"Come on!"
Kenny knew that fighting would be futile. He looked over at Clementine, who was giving him a determined look. Kenny sighed and followed Max out of the room. Badger forced Clementine out of the room and she hit a wall. Kenny looked back, but Max forced him to keep moving. Eventually, they walked out into the open and Kenny was surprised to see a crowd. Kenny walked onto a wooden platform and Max forced him to his knees. He watched as Clementine was forced to do the same thing. He saw David in the middle of them, on a chair, about to be hung. Joan stepped out and smiled to the crowd.
"Now, I know you're probably curious as to why I've called you here today."
The crowd murmured in agreement.
Joan chuckled. "David has betrayed us, he has murdered our people. Drop the curtain!"
Behind Joan stood two coffins. One held Clint and the other held Javier. David stared at Joan with anger. He felt as if he could break out of his restraints, but they were too tight around his wrists.
"These two people were killed by David." Joan began to fake her crying. "It breaks my heart to see Clint and Javier pass away." Joan smacked her hands together. "We need to discipline those who feel like betraying us. Who better to do it than three good friends?"
Joan noticed Nick in the crowd, just watching, along with Tripp and Conrad. "Ah, I see you've escaped."
"What are you doing?"
"Trying to teach the population of Richmond a lesson. Betraying a community you were sworn to protect is the worst crime you could commit nowadays."
"Look, if you want to teach Richmond a lesson. Use me, not my friends."
"So ready to sacrifice yourself for others? No, I don't think so."
Nick looked at Kenny and Clementine, who were staring back at him with desperation.
"You know what, Nick? You've caught me in a good mood today. I'm going to give the chance to save one of your friends, just one."
"What the fuck?!" Kenny yelled.
"Why are you doing this?" Clementine said.
Joan smiled at Clementine with an evil smile. "Let's just say, that either you or your friend needs to learn a lesson."
"Joan, doesn't this seem a little extreme?" Dr. Lingard asked, concerned.
"It is necessary." Joan turned to Nick. "Come on, who's it going to be? Your friend, Kenny? Or his daughter, Clementine?
Nick stared at Joan with complete and utter shock. "No, please don't do this. They're innocent in all of this."
"Are they really? You are really testing my patience, young man."
Nick clutched his head in his hands as he couldn't believe what he was doing. Kenny knew that Nick wouldn't be able to choose.
"Nick, don't think about this. Save Clementine, don't worry about me."
Clementine looked over at Kenny. "No, I'm not letting you die."
"We don't have a choice, Clem."
Kenny looked at Nick and saw him look up at Joan. "Kid, she's not gonna listen. Just save Clem, okay?"
I can't believe I'm doing this. I can't believe I'm doing this. Nick's face looked as if it were going to explode. He blurted out what naturally came to him.
"Let Clementine live, she's too young."
Kenny smiled at Nick. "You did the right thing, Nick?"
Joan chuckled. "What a stereotypical choice, Nick, but I admire you compassion for children."
Joan smirked as she turned to face Badger. "Shoot her."
Nick and Kenny's eyes widened simultaneously.
"Wait! I said Clementine should live."
"You did, but there's something else you need to understand, along with the people of Richmond. Betrayal."
"Joan! Think about what you're doing, she's just a child." David pleaded.
"Yeah, listen to him. Don't take her away from me, please."
"I can do whatever I want. Shoot her."
Clementine looked around in fear, before closing her eyes in acceptance. I didn't want Kenny to die and he'll live. Badger smiled as he would finally get to kill someone.
"Wait!" Nick yelled out.
It was quick and painless, but Clementine's lifeless body fell to the wooden floor.
"NO!" Kenny screamed.
