Wyatt calmed himself and looked around the cars. He definitely didn't want to leave the guy (if he was a guy) and he knew Eddie would argue with him if he decided against saving him. "We should both go, safety in numbers."
"Yeah.. Yeah, I like that plan.." Eddie agreed, turning the car off. "What if the guy in the truck comes back?"
"We high tail it the fuck outta here." Wyatt decided, opening his door slowly. The air was thick and cold, signifying that autumn was here.
"To smoke another day?" Eddie left the car as well, coming around to hold his fist out for a Wyatt to bump. He of course did.
"Sure, to smoke another day." Wyatt agreed, punching the other man's fist.
"Fuck yeah. Let's go save this guy's life." Eddie sighed, taking out a pocket knife while Wyatt held a revolver. The two walked, slowly and quietly. Not a single word was exchanged in case walkers were around or the stranger came around and was on foot looking for them.
There were a few dead one's in the dirt path they were on, but they were easy to take out just by shoving and stomping out. No gunfire needed. It took around four minutes before they finally found a cop, unconscious on the ground. His skin was dark, his clothes stained with blood, his hair white. He looked awful.
"Aw shit.. Eddie, this is our guy!" Wyatt called, signaling for his friend to come over.
"Dude.. Two guys in one night. That's sick, I'm not living with that shit. C'mon, let's bring him to the car." Eddie commanded, slinking the keys out of his pocket. Wyatt picked the downed man up and began dragging him to the car. They made it about three minutes before a flashlight caught them off guard.
"Hey! Don't move!" A raspy voice ordered, a brown skinned man carrying a flashlight stood next to a white, black haired man with a shotgun.
"Oh shit. He found us!" Eddie shrieked, his voice breaking from terror. He froze with the body still in Wyatt's arms.
"Who's he? It's more like we." The white man questioned. Both men were wearing orange jumpsuits.
"And we don't even know who you people are. What are you doing out here?" The man carrying the flashlight asked.
"Y-you're not the guys from the truck?" Wyatt asked, his eyes wide from confusion and horror.
"We don't have a truck, Einstein, we got a shitty BMW. Name's Justin by the way." Justin introduced, lowering his gun.
"I'm Eddie, this is Wyatt."
"Dude, what the hell?" Wyatt stammered, still on edge.
"What? They seem friendly." Eddie shrugged.
"I'm Danny. You guys need help with that guy? We got enough room on our ride, we can take you back to our camp. We live on a farm with this guy named Hershel, a doctor." Danny offered, approaching the two.
"That's perfect. Hurry, we don't have much time." Eddie breathed a sigh of relief, finally a break.
"Woah, woah, how can we trust you?" Wyatt demanded. Danny closed his eyes and sighed before replying.
"I let my friend Vince die to save my life. It's time I pay someone that same respect." Danny explained, helping the cop up along with Wyatt.
"Go with them. I'll follow in my ride." Eddie told Wyatt.
"Alright. I'll see you later." Wyatt said with a nod.
"Of course you will, you can't get rid of me." Eddie chuckled, leaving his best friend behind. It seemed like the truck driving stranger was gone.
"Let's hop to it, I'm not missing dinner because you hit a skunk or something." Justin joked, hopping in the passenger seat.
"Shut up, man." Danny laughed, helping the cop into the back seat. Wyatt and Eddie may have finally caught a break from such a shitty night. Maybe, it can be a permanent situation. Maybe they're finally safe.
But we all know that never lasts. Everything has its price. The cop didn't survive the night, however Eddie and Wyatt did, and with a new home.
((And that's it for episode 2! I know it was short, but depending on your choices, it could have been the same length as the original. Still, I think this episode was a great ride and I have a lot more planned for episode three!
Speaking of choices, here are all the alternate choices and their consequences that you guys missed!
Chapter 20: You guys told Mark that Larry is just looking out for his daughter. If you had told him that Larry is an old, racist asshole, he would have told Larry and your relationship with Larry would go from a 4 to about a 2. If you had told him that everyone is hungry, Larry's opinion of you would go up similarly to how it does already. If you had said nothing, your relationship with Larry wouldn't change.
Chapter 21: You guys saved David, Ben's teacher. If you had left him, then Travis would try to take Mark's gun, leading to him getting shot in the stomach. You'd take Travis and Ben with you, leaving Dave to "die". As a result, if you took Mark with you during the bandit scene, he would die instead and Mr. Parker would be dinner, because the St. John's "save" him before walkers can get to him.
Chapter 22: You guys chose to side with no one, opting for democracy. If you had sided with Kenny, your relationship with Lilly would go down but Kenny would go up from a 7 to an 8. If you agreed with Lilly, Kenny would go down and Lilly would go up. If you had recommended yourself as leader, both would look down at you, however obviously you're leader now soooo.
Chapter 23: This one's complicated. Basically, whoever you feed goes up and whoever you don't goes down. The only exception to this rule is Lilly, Kenny, Katjaa Larry, Carley, Doug and Travis who don't care, or don't care as long as you feed someone they care about.
Chapter 24: You guys gave the axe to Larry, which put your relationship with him up. If you had chosen Mark, your relationship with Larry would naturally go down, while your relationship with Mark would go up. This would affect nothing in the grand story though.
Chapter 25: You guys decided to strike a deal with the St. John's. If you had said no, Lee would stay and both Mark and whoever goes with him (Travis or Ben depending on if Travis lives) would be served to the group. If you chose to let the group decide, they'd strike a deal anyways. Lee and the rest of the group would go later.
Chapter 26: You guys were more cautious at the dairy, which lowered your relationship with the St. John's. If you had been more accepting, you would not have had the choice to decide if Mark comes with you at the wall, meaning he'd be shot and cannibalized like in canon.
Chapter 27: You guys decided to go alone, saving Mark but hurting yourself. If you had gone with Mark, the events would play out as canon did. If you had asked Mark to go alone, he would have been killed like in canon.
Chapter 28: You guys did literally the only smart choice, kicking Brenda. If you had blocked the attack, she would have chopped off your arm and then killed Lee, which means you'd play as Carley instead. If you had called for help, Brenda would start cutting into your leg, but you'd get found out before she could cut the whole thing, so basically just like A but with a damaged leg. If you had let it happen, Lee would be served as dinner.
Chapter 29: Saving Larry was what you guys went with, which decreased your relationship with Kenny drastically, but put everyone else up. There was a way to save Larry officially, but Mark would have had to die. While Lee is searching the house before dinner, you have the option to steal nitroglycerin pills which can be used in this scene. If you had killed Larry, Kenny's relationship with you would almost max out, however Lilly would hate you and Mark/Travis relationships would go down.
Chapter 30: You guys spared Danny, which caused Clementine to look up to you. This was also the deciding factor for the choice of Lee being leader. If you had killed Danny, Clementine would be scared of you again and Mark's relationship with you would go down. Lilly and Travis wouldn't care though.
Chapter 31: You guys spared Andy, which made you eligible for becoming Leeder (get it? Okay I'll stop..) if you had killed him, everyone in the group would be slightly scared of you, and you would not be able to become leader. Is Andy alive? Uh.. Let's move onto the next chapter.
Chapter 32: You guys are now leading the group, however if you chose to say no Lilly would stay leader and nothing would change. If you had voted on it, everyone but Kenny would vote for you to be leader, depending on your relationships with the cast however, this could be different.
Chapter 33: You guys chose to take a little, not a lot. If you had chosen to take all of it, Clementine would get that dumb hoodie, and your relationship with her would go down. Your relationship with Lilly, Mark and Ben would also go down, however Kenny would go up. If you had chosen to leave, Mark, Clementine and Lilly's relationships would go up while Kenny's would go down to about a three. If you had chosen to steal the whole station wagon, you'd have a working vehicle but the relationships of Clementine, Lilly, Mark, Ben and Travis would go down, while Kenny would go up. If you had voted on it, then overall the votes would be to not take the stuff and your relationships wouldn't change, though Kenny would question if you should really be leader if you're already puzzled.
Chapter 34: If you turned on the lights, Nate would be able to find you during the scene of leaving the car, like in canon. You guys luckily kept it off though.
Chapter 35: You guys chose D, however if you had chosen to go alone and the lights were on, Eddie would leave Wyatt and he would be shot by Nate. If you had chosen to leave the area, Wyatt and Eddie would never meet Justin and Danny, meaning that they are not involved in the rest of the story. If you had told Eddie to go alone then he would find Danny and Justin and Wyatt would abandon him, that is again if the lights are on. No matter what if the lights are off, Nate never finds the two and Wyatt and Eddie live another day together.
Thank you all for reading, I'll be posting Episode three's intro later tonight!))
