The bullets breezed over the heads of many survivors, the gunfight persisted until Lee finally had an opening. As Oberson reloaded, now hiding behind cover, Lee ran towards him and shot him in the head before he could fully reload the assault weapon. Taking a breather, he signaled for everyone else to come out. "It's fine, he's dead.."

"Good riddance.." Brie muttered, walking past Lee. The leader crouched down and picked up Oberson's weapon, an AK-47 with around ninety bullets left. The rest were scattered across the ground.

"What a waste of ammo. Can you guys find anything else in here?" Lee asked. Kenny and Christa began searching a closet nearby, which did contain some ammo and a pistol.

"Yeah, not much but it's decent. Are we leaving or what?" Kenny inquired, gathering up the weapon and bullets. Lee picked up Oberson's gun and handed his own to Molly.

"I noticed you didn't have a pistol. Take mine, I'll keep this." Lee said, showing off his newest toy.

"Sure, thanks. Not like I need it." Molly replied, pocketing the pistol.

"Alright, everyone move out before the walkers get in!" The group ran up the stairs through the bell tower, finally getting out upon reaching a ladder. Each member went down before hitting the ground and running back into the sewers. Walkers were approaching fast thanks to the bell, so they had to hide quickly.

"I can't believe we did that.. That was amazing!" Carley commented.

"You're telling me. We didn't lose anyone, we got everything we wanted, and those Crawford assholes are gone forever?" Kenny stated in astonishment, a big smile on his face.

"I say we celebrate before going to the water." Lee proclaimed.

"I actually agree with that." Molly replied.

"There's some spare whiskey in the kitchen I found while I was rootin' around." Chuck mentioned.

"It's a date. Vernon, Brie, you wanna come too?" Lee asked, looking back at the two. They had actually reached the cancer survivor hideout.

"Sorry, but I'm stayin' here. We need to discuss some things." Brie replied, opening the entrance to the underground morgue.

"I'll go, but not to celebrate. I have other plans in mind." Vernon said, causing Lee and the others to look at him weirdly.

"Alright, we'll be waiting." Brie told her older friend.

"Here's some of the medicine, get it to our patients. I'll be back in an hour or so." Vernon said, giving her the stuff. She happily took it, looking up at him with a knowing look as if they were planning something.

"Good luck." She stated, walking back inside.

"Let's go." Vernon commanded, continuing to lead them home.

Upon reaching the mansion, the group were met with Clementine and Duck at the front door. "Lee! I missed you!" The young girl called out, clinging to Lee like glue.

"Hey, sweet pea.. I missed you too. How was everything?" Lee embraced her back, checking her for any signs of harm.

"It was okay. Duck and I drew while Ben kept us safe." Clem replied ecstatically.

"Honey, how's Omid?" Christa asked, kneeling down to her level.

"Yeah, Omid and Travis. Let's check up on 'em." Vernon insisted, heading upstairs with Christa.

"Ya'll do that, I'll handle the boat." Kenny stated, walking towards the shed. Opening it revealed his beautiful boat.

The rest of the group went upstairs, checking Travis' room first. He was actually conscious, with Ben sitting down next to him. "Oh thank god you guys are here!" Ben chirped, getting up from the bed.

"Hold down the fort okay?" Lee asked Ben.

"Guys..? Did you get the medicine?" Travis weakly asked, flickering his eyes wider.

"Yeah, just prep yourself." Vernon replied, shoving two antibiotics in his mouth. Travis swallowed after a few seconds.

"Thanks doc.." The teenager stated, smiling weakly.

"No problem. Get some rest, kid." Vernon suggested, turning his heel towards the others. "We should leave him alone for now. Everyone out."

"Alright, now let's do Omid." Christa said, rushing everyone to his room. He was unconscious, making his girlfriend gasp. "Omid!" She rushed toward him, getting on her knees and holding his hand with her other hand over her mouth. She was devastated.

"Christa, wait!" Carley warned, pulling out her glock just in case.

"I never should have left you.." Christa sobbed, her tears choking out her voice.

"Christa, get away from him!" Vernon yelled. Lee walked over to her and got ready to pull her away. Omid began groaning, causing Lee to jump and force Christa out of the way. Omid opened his eyes and stared at them both.

"..Hey… Miss me?" He croaked out, receiving a hug from the tall woman.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" Christa yelped, tears still leaking from her eyes.

"Don't be, babe, don't be.. You got us the meds, right?" Omid asked, staring up at Vernon.

"Hehe, yup. You'll still be a-okay." Lee informed as Vernon gave him the pills.

"Lee, Chuck, Clementine. I missed you guys. How was everything?" Omid asked after calmly swallowing.

"It was scary, but we found a boat!" Clem explained, a bright smile on her face.

"Sweet.. I'm gonna clock out again if that's alright, just one more time. My leg should be feeling better soon though." The short male said, plopping his head down on the pillow next to Christa's.

"Good thinking. Christa, stay in here with him and tell me if anything happens." The rest of the group left the room, closing the door behind them. As Lee left to his room whilst following Clementine, Vernon grabbed his wrist. "Maybe now is the time you and me should have a little talk." Everyone else had cleared the hallways, even Duck after greeting Lee and Vernon zoomed down the stairs to meet with his dad. Once the coast was clear, Lee asked Vernon what the problem was.

"Uh.. Okay. What's up?"

"..Your group is strong, Lee. It's clear you care about your people, this boat, that little girl.. She and you are close?" Vernon questioned.

"Yeah, we've known each other since this all started." Lee said, folding his arms. He got an odd vibe from this..

"I can relate.. But, this plan of yours, hopping on a boat with no destination.. It'll never work out for someone like her. Your group already contains ten people, do you really think you can support everyone on that thing?" Vernon asked, genuinely stumping the ex teacher.

"I- what's your point?"

"My point is.. I'll take her off your hands, she can come with me. You've seen my base. We're well supplied, well hidden and a lot of us have had children of our own. She'd be safer there than out in the open and you know it. Do we have an understanding?" Vernon reached out his hand, ready to hear an answer. Lee was extremely conflicted and very hesitant. What should he do?

Choices:

A: I understand. You'd be great for her.

B: Let me think about it?

C: No way (Passive)

D: Back off, Vernon (Threatening)
