"Actually.. I do. I have something very important to tell you all." Everyone looked toward Lee as he spoke, the leader of the group joining Vernon side by side. He held the walkie talkie up above his head and waved it around for everyone to see. "This thing isn't broken. Clementine lied to me, to all of us to talk to some creep on another radio."
"Are they.. Friendly?" Vernon asked, kind of already knowing the answer.
"No, they know where the mansion is. I know exactly who you're talking about." Carley answered.
"Wait, you lied to us about the radio?" Christa asked angrily.
"No, I just didn't know until after we were separated. Then after that I saw Mark and.. I just couldn't think straight. I'm sorry I held it off for so long, but I just haven't found the time." Lee answered, trying to remain calm.
"Does this bastard know where our group is held out?!" Kenny asked, thinking about his son above all else.
"He does.." Carley butted in, sighing. Kenny became furious.
"You.. You motherfucker, you left our kids there with Ben?!" The father asked, approaching Lee with a glare that could melt a man's skin.
"Kenny, listen, Ben is dependable, he has weapons and can defend the house. Would you rather us have less people on this mission or more people twiddling their thumbs at the house?" Lee asked, raising his hands on defense.
"I guess you're right. I just don't really trust that shitbird." Kenny said, backing off.
"Yeah, well he's gotta be useful somehow. Besides, our kids are crackshots. If anyone tries to get in and Ben somehow fails to protect them, they can defend themselves." Lee added, which was right. The kids were strong on their own too.
"All I'm saying is, if you somehow get Omid killed or god forbid worse, there will be hell to pay." Christa threatened behind gritted teeth.
"I hear you." Lee felt disappointed in himself, but at least he told them just in case.
"Okay, now that that's over.. Let's move on with the plan. The battery will be in the auto shop, the gas will be in the shed by the playscape, and the medicine will be in the-" Brie was cut off by Molly of all people.
"Nurses station, duh." The blonde said, pointing at the map on the chalkboard.
"How did you know that?" Christa suspiciously asked.
"Oh, just makes sense, right?" Molly replied, letting out an awkward chuckle.
"Anyways, here's how we're gonna do things: one person will stay here and guard the room in case anything happens. You can also try and get that armory door open since it'll be a good place to escape." Vernon explained.
"Alright, in that case I'll stay here for now." Carley spoke up. Nobody disagreed so they moved on.
"Next, we'll need two or more people going for the battery near the auto shop." The old leader looked around for volunteers.
"I'll go, I ain't got much athleticism but I'm good with a weapon." Chuck said, pulling out a shovel he took from the yard.
"I'll go with you, keep it balanced." Molly added. Chuck nodded at her and studied the map so he knew where to go.
"Next we'll need two people going to the nurses station. Christa, you and I should go since this concerns us most." Vernon suggested.
"Agreed, I need to know how much medicine we need for the boys." She replied, hand on her hip.
"Guess that leaves me and Lee on the gas." Kenny spoke up.
"Actually, I'll go with you instead. I know the area more." Brie told him, knowing that she was more reliable than Lee when it came to layout of Crawford.
"She's right, Ken, go with Brie." Lee agreed.
"Well, where are you going then, professor?" Kenny asked. It was a good question, what would Lee do? Was there a group that needed help more? Maybe he should just stay here and help Carley open that armory..
"Hm.." Lee wondered, scratching his beard as he looked at his options.

A: Stay with Carley and open the armory door.
B: Go with Molly and Chuck to help them find the battery.
