"Here, Larry. You are stronger, plus Mark could use a break." Lee gave the axe to the old man, the latter accepting it easily.

"Hmph, finally someone realizes who's the hardest worker around here. Aside from Lilly of course." Larry grumbled, giving Lee a nod before going back to his work.

"Relax, Larry, Lee said it best out in the woods, you're just looking out for your daughter. We all understand." Mark added, causing Larry to look at Lee who was smiling so innocently. The man was even more confused than before.

"I- you're right. Just, go do something else." With that, he turned back around and began using the axe on the wall. Lee made his way towards the RV and waved to Lilly.

"Not such an easy job, is it?" Lilly asked. Lee shook his head with a frown.

"I don't envy you. I don't know how you have the strength to do this every day." Lee answered.

"Well, that's what a leader does. I'm glad you see it how I do now." As Lilly finished her sentence, Kenny walked up to Lee.

"Lee, look-" He started.

"Kenny, I know I ran out of food before I could feed you, but-"

"But nothing. You fed the kids, man. That's all I can ask for. That's what a real man does." Kenny said with a sincere smile, catching Lee off guard.

"It was an easy choice with the kids, the two others, Larry and Mark, were the hard part." Lee looked around to see Ben and Travis giving him a glance before lowering the heads in disappointment. He looked at Carley and she looked back.

"Don't worry, Kenny's right, you did the right thing." She said before he could tell her anything.

"Ken, Lee, come here please!" Katjaa called the men, folding her now bloody arms while Travis paced in the background, muttering curses to himself.

"He didn't make it, did he?" Kenny asked, noticing the kids' reaction.

"He lost too much blood." Kat replied, lowering her head.

"Goddamnit!" Kenny growled, walking away. "I'm getting sick of this shit!" He tossed a pipe to the ground in anger.

"Ken, come back, there's nothing-"

"Let him go, Katjaa."

"But-"

"It's fine, he'll get over it. He's just frustrated that all that was for nothing." Lee explained.

"Fuck me! This is so stupid." Travis yelped, kicking the truck before walking towards Ben to tell him the news.

"That man you brought, I tried, but there was no way we could help him." Katjaa solemnly said.

"At least he's not our problem anymore." Lee replied.

"What about the other kids?" Katjaa asked Lee as if he could make that decision. While she was distracted, a pair of hands grabbed her by the jaw and pulled her toward it. It had become apparent that Mr. Parker had turned!

"Shit, Katjaa!" Lee forced Katjaa away from the monster before calling for help. "The axe, hurry!" The walker quickly grabbed Lee and pulled him into the back of the truck. Lee attempted to smash its head in against the vehicle, to no avail.

"Get out of the damn way!" Larry yelled, holding the axe in preparation to smash the walker. Lee pushed it toward Larry's range, but he ended up missing and breaking the glass of the back window instead. "Damnit, I had it!" The axe got stuck! As Larry tried to pull it out, Lee squirmed away and tried to escape the walker.

When backing away from the infected man, Lee fell off the back of the truck and onto the concrete floor below. Soon after, the turned David joined him, attempting to get a bite out of his neck. Lee managed to hold him back by forcing his fingers into its eyes until finally Carley showed up with her glock. "Shoot it!" Lee commanded, closing his eyes and bracing for impact until the reporter finally fired the gun against the walkers head, killing it. Lee pushed it off and gasped for air. "Thanks.." he told Carley.

"WHY'D YOU BRING HIM HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, ASSHOLE?" Larry yelled at Lee, throwing the axe down next to him.

"Dad, calm down." Lee places a hand on her father's shoulder to call off the dogs.

"You're gonna get us all killed!" He added as Lee was helped up by Mark and Carley.

"It's not Lee's fault. It's these dumbasses' fault!" Kenny pointed at Ben and Travis

"What? What did we do?!" Ben panicked.

"We asked you, point blank, 'was he bitten?' And you said he wasn't!" The father claimed.

"He wasn't! Wait, you all don't know?" Travis asked, scanning the confused faces of the motor inn. "It's not the bite that does it. You turn no matter how you die. If you don't destroy the brain, that's just what happens. It's gonna happen to all of us."

"So.. we're all infected? Everyone?" Lee asked, regaining his breath.

"Kind of. A while back when me and Ben were still in our group, there was this girl named Jenny Pitcher. She was never bitten but one day she slipped into the girls bathroom and killed herself. Someone went in the next morning and.. god." A silence took over the group as they settled in this new information. That is, until Carley noticed a pair of strangers approaching the group. She held her gun up and yelled at them.

"Back off!" This caught the attention of the rest of the group, and all eyes were put on the two men with jerry cans in their hands.

"Woah, lady, relax! Me and my brother, we were just wondering if y'all could help us out!" The older one defended, holding his hands up in surrender.

"I said, back off!" Carley repeated, stepping a bit closer. Lilly halted the woman and put a hand on hers.

"Carley, wait a minute. Why would we help you? What do you need help with?" Lilly asked curiously.

"Our base is protected by an electric fence. Generators provide the electricity." The younger, dirtier one explained.

"Our generators run on gas. Look, we own a dairy farm a couple miles down the way, if y'all could lower your guns, we could work out some kind of deal." The older man's name was Andy, and he seemed polite enough. This was an awesome deal.

"How are y'all doing on food? We got plenty at the dairy." Danny, the younger one asked. Lilly looked towards Lee, Mark and Carley and decided if anyone would be going down to check out a place like this, it'd be the most dependable people in the group.

"Mark, Lee, Carley, why don't you three go down and check it out, see if it's legit. If it is, we'll bring down the rest of our group, trade for some gas and have a nice meal."

"And what if it isn't?" Kenny asked, joining in the argument.

"Then we stay in this wretched roach motel even hungrier than we are now until we starve to death." Lilly made it sound like they had no choice.

"Or until we leave for somewhere better." Kenny suggested.

"Yeah, right." Lilly rolled her eyes, a hand on her hip.

"Guys! Let's not argue right now. We have a decision to make." Mark interrupted.

"So, uh.. what are y'all thinking?" Andy asked. Before anyone could answer, Lee wanted to make a choice based on his gut feeling. He felt like he could understand exactly what was best for the group, so he shot out his answer.

Choices:

A: You got a deal

B: No deal

C: Let the group decide, don't speak.

Relationships:

Clementine is still kinda hungry. She thinks the world of you as long as her dad is gone.

Kenny thinks you did the right thing by feeding the kids. He views you as a good friend but still thinks you need to pick a side.

Lilly is glad you fed her dad and honestly really likes how you roll.

Larry is the most confused man here. Why are you being nice to him? He doesn't know.

Katjaa thinks you're really the smartest man here.

Duck thinks you're the coolest guy ever.

Mark views you as his best friend.

Carley has always got your back, you two are also best friends. She doesn't mind that you didn't feed her.

Ben is disappointed you didn't feed him, but overall thankful you saved him.

Travis is pissed at his teacher being gone, but thankful that you saved him.
