Lee shook his head. No more killing, that was behind him. He turned back to his group and walked towards them, ignoring Andy even as he cried in despair. "You'll regret this, Lee! You should have finished me! I.. I have nothing!"

"They're getting in!" Clementine pointed at the fence, which was currently being torn down by several walkers, all must have been attracted by the screams of poor Andy.

"Let's go. He isn't making it out of that. We're okay." Lee told the group, walking out of the dairy. The rest of the group followed, Clementine close behind him. It was over, the St. John's were dead.

A couple of minutes later, the rain stopped and the group was left in the forest. Luckily, Lilly was leading the group back to the motor inn so they had no problems with directions. "Lee?" Clementine asked from behind him.

"Yeah, what is it?" Lee replied, kneeling down to her level while the rest of the group took a break.

"Are those bad people dead?"

"I didn't kill them. I don't know, Clementine."

"They were bad but nobody deserves to die."

"That's right, sweet pea. Now c'mon, stay close." Lee said with a smile, the group continuing to walk after the short breather.

"Oh, Lee, before I forget," Katjaa started, taking something from the big duffel she had gotten from the dairy. It was the axe, with Brenda's blood smeared on the sharp edge.

"Kat, how did you-"

"While the others were distracted, I took the time to get it back. That, and some veggies from the kitchen. Wish we could have gotten that cow though." Katjaa opened the duffel to reveal several carrots, peas, potatoes and biscuits. Maybe a months worth.

"Goddamn. You should be proud of yourself!" Lee chuckled, causing the woman to smile.

"That's sweet, Lee. I just didn't want to go there only to gain bad experiences. I watched my husband murder a woman in front of me and honestly? That scares me." She whispered, looking back to Kenny who was currently talking to his son while walking.

"I feel you. The man needs to cool it." Lee responded.

"Well, thanks for the talk. I've gotta talk to Ducky, make sure he's okay." Kat sped up and joined her family, looking down at her son.

Carley touched Lee's shoulder with her finger to get his attention. "Hey, Lee. How are you?"

"Not gonna lie, Carley, I feel sick. Clementine was almost hurt today, and a couple of my friends were hurt. I watched Larry die today." Lee solemnly answered.

"Yeah, I can imagine how that feels.. were they really gonna kill you guys for food?" She asked slowly.

"Yeah, and I was almost the main course." Lee joked, giving a sarcastic laugh.

"But?"

"I got lucky. This fucking world, Carley, it needs something to just save us all and end these walkers." He answered.

"You can say that again." She agreed.

"Hey, Lee, you got a second?" Kenny asked, stopping at a tree to allow Lee to catch up to him.

"I'll let you go. Talk to me later." Carley smirked, giving him a playful pat on the shoulder. Lee smiled genuinely at her before approaching Kenny.

"There ain't no polite way to say this.. There's gonna be fallout." Kenny started.

"For what?" Lee asked.

"For killing Lilly's dad. She's gonna snap." He stated it like it was a fact.

"You don't know that." Lee defended.

"Neither do you, Lee. Look, we don't see eye to eye a lot, but you're clearly a good man. You've earned a trip in that RV when I get it runnin'. At least for Clementine's sake. When that woman snaps, I ain't bringing her with me." Kenny explained, walking away shortly afterward. Determined that his friend was fine, Lee approached Lilly just as she looked back to him.

"Hey, Lilly. You okay?" He questioned. She was silent for a few seconds, shaking her head.

"Thank you. For allowing me to say goodbye." She replied, looking at the ground.

"Of course." Lee said with a nod.

"I almost killed the group, but dammit Lee, wouldn't you? It's like that bastard doesn't get it. If it were his family, he would have argued the same thing." Lilly argued.

"You're not wrong, but we need to stop arguing like this. It's tearing the group apart." Lilly cracked a smile at his words. "What?" He asked, puzzled.

"You're right. This whole debate, Kenny vs. Lilly is fucking stupid. I have a solution." She halted the man, giving him Danny's rifle.

"Uh, thanks I-"

"I want you to be our leader. You're smart, brave, people obviously like you. You'd never betray the group with Clementine by your side." Lee was stunned. The question in his mind was should he really take it? Was he really going to fit the role of leader?

"Lilly, I don't know.." Lee muttered, hesitant as all hell.

"Everyone, I have a question for you." The group stopped and stared at Lilly.

"What's up?" Mark asked the current leader.

"Lee has always been very democratic, we know this. What I want to know is this: How many of you want him as leader? No voices, give a show of hands."

"Come on, Lilly.." Lee spoke up.

"No, I'm serious. Earlier today you said this group is a democracy. Well, you're right. We're voting on what we want." With that, Lilly raised her hand, stepping back from the man. The rest of the group was puzzled, but within seconds Carley, Clementine, Mark, Ben and Travis held their hands up with her.

"Why Lee?" Kenny asked harshly.

"Because he can do it. There's not as much turmoil between him and anyone else here." Lilly stated.

"I'm not doing this." The southerner growled.

"So it's a no?" Lilly replied quizzingly.

"Yeah. Count me out." Kenny folded his arms, looking away from his past friend. Lee was a bit frustrated but just rolled his eyes. Katjaa and even Duck held their hands up in agreement. "Kat, what the hell?"

"She's right, Kenny. I don't doubt you, but Lee is good for this group." Kat defended her choice.

"Whatever.." he mumbled, gripping his fist hard.

"So, Lee, do you accept this position?" Lilly asked, placing a hand on her hip.

Choices:

A: Yes, I'd love to lead this group.

B: No thanks.

C: Maybe Kenny should lead the group instead?
