Lee decided it would be best to side with Kenny. He didn't want Duck to be thrown out and he knew for a fact the poor kid wasn't bitten. He also didn't wanna start drama with this newgroup of people who saved his life. "He wasn't bitten, I saw it for myself." He said, defending the boy.
"You think our group believes that shit? C'mon, you're not the least reasonable guy here." Larry replied, staring the kid and Mom down afterwards.
"Everybody needs to chill the fuck out!" Carley interrupts, trying to keep her voice low due to the walkers outside.
"Nobody is doing anything!" Lilly said back, stepping forward to Carley.
"Shut up, Lilly! And YOU," Larry started, looking back at Carley. "Shut the fuck up. They will find us, they will get in here and none of this will fucking matter because of that little anchor. When he goes down, we all go down." He finished, turning back to the kid.
"What do you mean, anchor?" Kenny asked, folding his arms next to Lee.
"HE'S BITTEN! That's how you turn!" Larry yelled back.
"Well he's not bitten! Lee, stop this, it's upsetting him!" Katjaa pleaded, checking his neck and wrists for bites to no avail.
"Oh, I'm upsetting him? Ha, upsetting or getting eaten alive, which do you pick?" He asked, chuckling at the statement.
"Dad, please. It's a big deal, we get it." Lilly said, still wanting to get rid of Duck but finding it too risky to open the door and let him out.
"Do you, now? You know I don't like doing it, but if stopping him from turning saves you then we have to end him now." Larry questioned, looking down at his daughter.
"It's Larry, right? Man, c'mon, we can't argue amongst ourselves. Those things are out there and we're all we have. Kenny's son wasn't bit, so let's drop it." Lee cut in, approaching the grey haired brickhouse.
"Oh, I'll drop something, alright. And it'll save everyone's life." Larry said, seething a glare at the dark skinned man.
"I'm gonna kill him, Kat! Just worry about Duck.." Kenny threatened, getting up in his face as well.
"Kenny.. Not what I meant, we aren't hurting anyone." Lee told Kenny, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"We'll see about that." Kenny responded.
"Lee.. There's someone in there." Clementine called to him, trying to open the door.
"It's just locked, keys are behind the counter, uh probably." Lee explained. He got a weird but knowing look from Carley.
"Like I said, I'm not the bad guy here, I'm just looking out for my daughter." Larry defended, giving Lilly a quick glance.
"No, you're the guy arguing for killing a kid!" Kenny yelled back.
"He's covered in muck! She'll find the bite, watch." Larry spat back, pointing at the kid.
"She.. Won't!" Kenny growled.
"And if she does? The first thing he'll do is sink his teeth into his mom's face. Then, once she's dead, she'll come back and pounce on your little girl. She'll turn fast, and then there'll be three. And that boy is the ballgame!" Larry explained, scaring some while only pissing Lee and Kenny off even more.
"Please, just calm down and let her handle him." Lee asked of Larry, though he knew it wasn't any use.
"Are you kidding? No, screw this, I'm done!" Larry barked, walking past the two before his wrist was grabbed by Lee. "Get your hands off of me.. Now." He warned, glaring back.
"No! You don't touch that boy, you don't touch anybody. I've got a little girl I'm protecting here, and you have your daughter. If we want what's best for our family, for this group, we can't kill each other. If you're gonna kill anyone, kill me!" Lee said with a surprisingly calm voice, though inside he was scathing with anger at this heartless bastard. Suddenly, a scream from the bathroom breaks the fight up, followed by a walker groan.
"H-help!" Clementine yelps, a walker slowly crawling towards her as everyone looks on in horror.
"Clementine!" Lee runs to her, tripping against a shelf in the process. He gets up upon seeing Clem struggle to back away from the monster and pulls it away from her. "GET AWAY FROM HER, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Lee scolds, throwing his calm composure out the window. He's saved Clem but now the walker was latching onto him, and was getting pretty close to taking a bite out of him.
However, Carley fires her gun in the nick of time once again, killing the corpse just before it can do any damage. After recovering from the attack, Lee looks behind him at Clem and Carley. "Thanks.. You're okay right?"
Clementine nods and Carley responds with, "No problem." Suddenly, banging and snarling can be heard from outside and the group soon hide behind the counters and shelves, just in case the walkers get in.
"They're gonna get in.." Larry muttered to Kenny.
"Shut up and maybe they won't." Kenny replied, glaring at the man. After a few more seconds of this, the firing of guns drew the walkers away and everyone got back up, the coast was clear.
"Thank God for whoever that was." Glenn said, almost everyone nodded in reply.
"Son of a bitch, we almost died because of this bitch and her itchy trigger finger. That was stupid, that was- AH!" Larry was cut off as he clutched his heart in pain, falling to the floor just as Lilly rushed to his side.
"Dad! Are you okay?" She asked, holding his hand with hers.
"What's wrong with him?!" Lee asked out of both concern and shock.
"It's his heart." Lilly revealed, looking up with a worried expression.
"..My pills." Larry grumbled, closing his eyes.
"Um.. Nitroglycerin pills?" Katjaa asks, being a vet she knows a lot about medicine.
"Yes! We're out. We've been trying to get them since we got here. Please try to get in there, behind the counter where the pills are!" Lilly begged, looking up at the group and more specifically Lee.
"Should be through the office, right?" Lee suggested, knowing full well where they are.
"How do you know that's an office?" Carley asks, a suspicious look on her face.
"Uh.. Educated guess." He replied, folding his arms and looking away.
"It doesn't matter. We need nitroglycerin pills. Please get in there, I'll keep an eye on my dad." Lilly said, leaning the man up against the wall.
"Got it. Everyone else should get comfy and look for anything to help out. We could be here a while." Kenny said, agreeing to help which brought a reassuring smile to Lilly's face.
"This drugstore isn't a permanent solution. We should find more gas for your vehicle and get somewhere more sustainable." Glenn added, walking towards Lee.
"You're right, this ain't exactly Fort Knox." Kenny agreed.
"What do you suggest?" Lee asked.
"Like I said, gas and lot's of it so we can all get out of here. I know a motel not too far from here. I can go down there, grab some gas and come back, siphoning what I can on the way." Glenn suggested, jerking his jacket as he showed the group his keys.
"You know your way around town?" Lee asked, thinking he was the only local here as he knew none of these people.
"Was born and raised here, so yeah." Glenn said with a smirk.
"Here, if you need any help, call Clem with the walkie-talkie. We'll send a few down if you get in a jam." Lee said, giving the man the walkie from his pocket.
"Thanks. I'll be back soon." With that, Glenn left through the office exit.
"Lilly and Larry right? Lilly, keep an eye on him, these boys'll get you your medicine." Kenny assured, no hard feelings against her.
"Thank you." Lilly replied, smiling at Kenny.
"And you, you keep your eye on that front door, you're our lookout." The mustached family man took on his role as leader, pointing at Doug.
"It's Doug, and you got it." He nodded, walking towards the front door.
"And I'm Carley." Carley butted in, a hand on her hip.
"Okay, Carley and Doug will switch in shifts every hour. You're a good shot, and I'd like to keep it that way." Kenny complimented, nodding his head at the two.
"You got it, boss." She responded, walking towards a counter and pulling out a radio.
"Now, get him those pills." Was Kenny's final order before returning to his family.
Lee kneeled down to Clem's level and smiled. "Hey, Clementine. Do you need anything?" He asked, a caring tone in his voice.
"Not really, but I am super hungry." She responded, rubbing her belly.
"Alright, I'll try to find you something to eat." He got up and walked around and actually managed to strike gold! He found three candy bars and two batteries. Now, who to give the candy bars to?
In this choice, you may choose whoever three survivors who are currently here to give the candy bars to. No limitations except for Glenn as he is out. Happy voting!

((Reviews:
Pokediger91699: "Side with Kenny (passive) we're dd finitely not throwing Duck out, however we seem to have some respect from the others even Larry's appreciation, best not to break it.
By the way, since what you do actually matters and Larry seems a little bit more appreciative this time around, when we get him his pill does he still punch us?
Hope to see the update soon, good work!"
You'll have to find out when we get there. Unfortunately, Larry is still an asshole and doesn't care if you were okay to his daughter. He might later, though. Thanks for the compliments!
Shadow Ninja 287: "If it were me I'd suggest to Larry to wait for Katjaa to clean Duck up and if he's bitten then do something about it but until then sit and wait. Probably wouldn't do anything since the guy's a jerk but who knows."
What do ya know, I kinda incorporated this. Larry ignores it but still, thanks for the suggestion.
CRed1988: "Side with Kenny in Passive. Everyone needs to lower their voice otherwise they are screwed. Lee must make sure to remind them of that because of the danger outside."
I totally agree, these guys do not know how to settle down. Fortunately, makes for some pretty entertaining drama. Thanks for reading!
Worker72: "The only reason I would not side Kenny (Violent) is b/c I am worried about the noise it would make. Better to stay Passive and quiet than risk attracting the undead to your location. Larry is a chain of command guy but there never was a chain of command in the group. Lee needs to establish that chain of command to keep everyone alive."
Thankfully, your choices will matter here, so hopefully if you guys vote for it, Lee can be the group's leader after episode two.
Thanks for reading, and happy voting!))
