Although Kenny was extremely hesitant, the footsteps were getting closer. His rational side told him to just tell Duck to shoot her in the leg whilst he disarms her, but the other side of his brain was much more merciful. He believed Randall and all, but the woman being Lilly kinda changed his whole perspective. He never really liked her, but he did know and care about her. "Duck, let her go."

"But, what about Randall and the boat?" Duck asked, taking his hands away from the gun as slowly as he was scared.

"We'll move on. The boat.. It's a pipedream. We should move up, like Travis said." Kenny turned at the teen. For once, Travis had a small smile on his lips despite the devastating situation.

"Thank you.. You have no idea what you've saved me from. I won't forget this." Lilly looked sad to go, but was ultimately relieved and eternally grateful.

"Neither will we. Now, go!" She did just as the ex fisherman said, grabbing a bag of supplies before jumping out the window, rushing off far from the cabin. The group picked up their guns and stared at Kenny for advice as he began pacing.

"What are we gonna do? I have a bad feeling Randall won't be happy to see us like this!" Ben whispered, the footsteps getting extremely close to the door.

"We play it cool. We tell 'em she wasn't here, keep 'searching' then abandon ship. Sound good?" Kenny said, walking toward Lilly's shitty cot bed. He was glad that Duck didn't have to sleep in one of these on the island, and maybe soon enough he'd be able to sleep even more comfortably up north. Wellington sounded so promising, Kenny just knew it was their gold at the end of the fiery hellscape rainbow.

"For once, yes, it does." Travis agreed, nodding.

"Good. Everyone pocket your guns and act like you're inspecting the place." Just as Randall came in, the group had begun "searching" the cabin. The only problem was, when they turned around, it wasn't Randall. It was a complete stranger. A bald guy wearing a leather jacket with a gray goatee held a shotgun towards the group. They stopped in their tracks, raising their hands.

"Who the fuck are you?!" Kenny demanded, furrowing his brows. He wouldn't have raised his hands normally and would prefer to show his dominance by revealing his own gun, but this man had a shotgun. One is much more threatening than the other.

"An enemy of Monroe. You with them?" The man with the rough voice asked, staring at them angrily, expecting a yes.

"Eat shit, asshole." Travis lashed out. The group was shocked.

"Excuse me?" The bald, intimidating man questioned, aiming directly at the teen. Travis hesitated before speaking again.

"You heard me!" He yelled, his voice shaking. The man grabbed his hand and pointed the gun directly at his stomach, ready to fire.

"Travis, stop!" Ben yelped, horrified and confused at the same time. Who the hell was this guy exactly? What beef did he have with Randall?

"No, we ain't exactly with him, we're just working for him to get our boat back." Kenny answered, stepping in front of his son to protect him from any harm.

"Please, don't hurt us." Duck gave his best 'young, stupid kid' voice. The man didn't buy it, already seeing two other ones in front of him that were much more scared than Duck. He let go of Travis, stepping back before raising his gun again.

"Follow me. We gotta ask you some questions." The man was about to open the cabin door again, but it was opened by someone outside instead.

"Roman, we got the truck ready, did you find any-" No. Fucking. Way. Two people from their past, two actual living, breathing people in one day.

It was Vernon. He looked exhausted, a six shooter pistol at his waist pocket. He went wide eyed upon seeing the old group. "H-holy shit.." He looked like he was going to have a heart attack. Thank god, inside intel. Someone that could get them out of this.

"Vernon? It's been a while.. Is that really you?" Ben questioned. Vernon nodded. Roman looked back and forth, shaking his head.

"It doesn't matter if you know them. They are working with Randall." Roman stressed, clearly tired of Vernon's attitude.

"You? Why?" Vernon asked, his voice raspier than before.

"That's what we're trying to explain! We were desperate, our boat stopped working and we needed the help. We tried to track down the person they wanted us to track down, but we ran into you assholes instead. That's what happened. Vernon, can you get us outta here?" Kenny explained, looking past Roman towards Vernon with a somewhat desperate gleam in his eyes.

"Yeah. I can. But I'd still like to ask you some questions. Do you mind coming with me? I promise this kind of behavior will not happen again." Vernon assured. He sounded genuine, but Kenny was unsure. How could they trust this guy after so long? Everyone changes, but it looks like Vernon changed for the better.

"How do you want me to handle them, like they're my best fucking friends?! Jesus, Vernon, this is how the world works now!" Roman yelled, rubbing his temples aggravatedly.

"I thought that at one point too! I was wrong. We lost Brie and Shel because of that." Vernon defended, walking closer to the group.

"What about Boyd and Joyce? They're fuckin' dead because of your weakness!" Looks like that struck a nerve. Kenny's group just stared at each other, not understanding a word they were saying. Well, they remembered Brie as that girl who helped them get Omid's medicine and the boat's gas/battery, but other than that? They didn't really know those people.

"Whatever. These are good people and I know it. Please, come with me guys. We just need a bit of info, then you're free to go." The oldest man in the room said with a nod, opening the door for them.

"I dunno.. Do we have a choice?" Kenny asked skeptically, scanning the men's faces.

"Not really, and I'm sorry for that. But we really need information on Randall. Roman has to keep his gun on you too, but I'm sure you understand that part." Vernon waited for the group to answer. Roman was getting real tired of how long it was taking for them to start moving. Finally, Kenny became the group's line leader and began walking outside.

"..Yeah." The mustachioed man muttered as he went past the two. His gun was taken from him by Vernon.

"I guess." Travis stated stubbornly. Luckily, his gun was tucked away so deep that the two didn't realize he was carrying one.

"Um.. Sure." Ben mumbled, walking past with his hands raised. His gun wasn't hidden, so Roman slickly took it out of his back pocket. Duck noticed this and quickly adjusted his so it was hidden.

"Okay.." Duck nodded slowly, heading past them with little difficulty.

Outside was a large van. Someone was in the driver's seat, a black male with a white beard and an afro. You know him as Clive. Vernon opened the back doors and allowed them to climb inside. "Go on, sit down. Don't worry, Roman will stay in the front seat." Vernon ordered, giving Roman a small glare. Roman rolled his eyes as he climbed into the passenger seat.

"Where the hell are you takin' us?" Kenny questioned, extremely hesitant to get into a potential kidnappers van.

"Just our new headquarters. It's close to the bridge that links to the coast. If you really are with Randall, you probably have seen it."

"Yeah, we have." Travis confirmed with a nod.

"Anyways, just hurry up and get in. It'll make things easier for both of us." Vernon held the doors open, ready for them to get in. Kenny was still unsure, really not wanting to die tonight. Maybe he'd die if he escaped, maybe not? He had to make a decision here and now.

Choices:

A: Resist and attempt escape.

B: Comply.

Relationships:

Travis is happy to see your merciful side for once. 6/10

Duck is also happy to see you acting nice. Now he just wants to get this over with, maybe even kill these guys if he has to. 10/10

Ben is happy you spared Lilly, at least she doesn't have to be a part of this. 9/10

Randall is still waiting on you. What's going on with him and Vernon? 5/10

Vernon is someone you haven't seen in years. He used to be fine, but has he gotten better or worse? 6/10

Roman seems like a total asshole. You already hate him. 2/10

You barely know Clive. 5/10

((QOTC: TWO CAMEOS IN ONE EPISODE. Crazy huh? I have this all planned out and I'm still shocked. What do you think? Is Vernon a bullshitter or does he seem cool to you? What do you think of Roman's adaption to the new world? Is it realistic of his character? Tell me in the reviews.))
