Chapter 3
At the morning, a man with a mustache and a cap wake up Lee and the others.
Man: Hey, wake up.
Lee, Randy, Howard, and Clementine wake up.
Clementine: I'm itchy.
Man: Well, you slept in a barn little lady. Lucky you don't have spiders in your hair.
Clementine: AH!
Howard: Don't worry. Spiders aren't dangerous, they are just misunderstood.
Man: But I bet your dad scared them all away, huh kids?
Lee: I'm not their dad. Name's Lee.
Randy: Randy. Randy Cunningham.
Howard: Howard. Howard Weinerman
Man: I'm Kenny.
A boy shows up.
Boy: Dad, we're building a fence. There's a tractor and everything!
The boy runs away.
Kenny: We better get going, or we won't hear the end of it.
Randy, Howard, Lee, Kenny, and Clementine get out of the barn.
Kenny: That's my boy, Ken. Jr. We call him Duck though.
Randy and Howard begin to laugh.
Lee: Boys, That's not nice.
Howard: Oh come on, Lee. It's funny.
Lee: Dodging or quacking?
Kenny: Quacking.
Duck: DAD!
Kenny: See.
We see Duck next to an older woman with blond short hair.
Kenny: Katjaa, these are Lee, Randy, and Howard. What's the girl's name?
Lee: Clementine.
Katjaa: That is a very pretty name.
Clementine: Thanks.
Shawn shows up.
Shawn: We should get to work. The faster we build this fence, the better.
Duck: I'm gonna build a fence.
Shawn: Yeah, well I need a good foreman. You can sit on the tractor, yelling at me when I take a water break.
Duck: On a tractor? Cool!
Shawn: Duck and I will help too.
Shawn and Duck go to work on the fence.
Katjaa: I'll keep an eye on the kids. We can visit.
Lee: Ok.
Lee walks away.
Randy: So Katjaa, your son is very happy considering the disaster.
Katjaa: I know. He gets it from his father.
Randy: That is very nice.
Katjaa: Yes it is. Duck saw many horrible things out there.
Randy: I'm sorry to hear that.
Katjaa: Hopefully, things will change and everything will be back to normal. Are you and your friend around here?
Randy: No, we are from Norrisville. A town where everything is normal.
Katjaa: I'm glad to hear that. So Clementine, what grade are you in?
Clementine: First grade.
Howard: How are you doing in first grade?
Clementine: It's easy.
Howard: Just wait until you reach ninth grade.
Randy goes to talk with Kenny who is fixing his car.
Randy: Hello, Kenny.
Kenny: Hey.
Randy: Need any help?
Kenny: Nah, I got it. Do you need any help?
Randy: No. We are taking care of each other.
Kenny: Are you and Howard like a best friend or something? Because you both almost like get along to each other.
Randy: Yeah, we become best friend when we were three years old.
Kenny: Aha. Look, I don't know when this mess will get sorted out, but you have to be careful now.
Randy: I know that. So how is Duck doing?
Kenny: Good, I think. Katjaa's got a sister up in Memphis. We were coming back from visiting her. We were at the gas station and some guy grabbed my boy.
Randy: Oh Man.
Kenny: I thought he was kidnapping him. I was on the fucker two seconds and... Christ. Just lucky I was there, we stumbled upon a lot of bodies before Hershel's... We're a tough family Randy, ain't nothing gonna phase us.
Randy: I'll check on the others.
Kenny: You do that.
Randy goes to see Lee who is cutting wood with a saw for Shawn and Duck is sitting on the tractor.
Randy: So, how are you two doing?
Lee: We are doing fine.
Shawn: Lee is just helping me with the wood.
Lee cuts the wood in half.
Shawn: I think that's enough. Thanks.
Randy comes up to Shawn.
Randy: Thank you for helping us, Shawn.
Shawn: No problem, Randy. Also, Lee, check on my dad will ya? I think he is in the barn.
Lee and Randy see Hershel going in the barn. They enter the barn and Hershel is doing some work.
Hershel: When did you guys meet?
Lee: Um, he and his friends found me in the forest. They helped me out.
Randy: If it wasn't for us then he would have died at the hands of those zombies.
Hershel: Well, it looks like you and your other two friends are the heroes here.
Randy: This farm is very nice.
Hershel: Huh, if you had been telling me this twenty years ago, I would of told you that you were full of crap. It was never the plan, having a place like this, but I guess it was in the family. Family is important, it's all that matters. You agree with that?
Randy: Of course.
Hershel: So Lee, where is your family now? Parents, girlfriend?
Lee: My parents are in Macon with my brother, I hope.
Hershel: Well, I hope they are ok. So now you have this little girl to take care of. Clementine was it, did you just stumble upon her?
Lee: I, Randy and Howard were attacked and she came to our rescue.
Hershel puts his pitchfork down.
Hershel: May I give you both a piece of advice?
Lee: Sure.
Randy: Yeah.
Hershel: I don't know who you both are and what you did. Let's say things don't get better back in the cities. Or they get worse before they do. You both going to have to depend on the honesty of strangers if you're going to make it. And if those same people get to questions yours, you both going to be in trouble. Well, at least you both have the common sense to listen to a man giving you advice.
Suddenly, the tractor is heard and a scream.
Lee: What the?!
Randy: What the juice?!
Lee and Randy come out of the barn.
Hershel: GO! I'll get my gun!
Lee and Randy go to see the situation and they pass Howard and Katjaa.
Howard: Hey! Where are you two going?
Howard goes after Lee and Randy. They see Duck on a tractor Shawn is on the ground and he is pinned under the tractor. A zombie grabs Duck and more zombies show up.
Duck: AAAAAAAAAHHH!
Shawn: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Howard: Oh man!
Lee: We have to rescue them!
Lee goes to help Shawn while Randy is trying to help Duck. Kenny shows up and he and Randy manage to get Duck from the clutches of the zombies.
Kenny: I got you!
Lee: Kenny, help Shawn!
Shawn: GET THIS TRACTOR OFF ME!
Kenny looks afraid and runs away with Duck.
Shawn: LEE, PLEASE HELP ME!
Lee: Randy! Howard!
Randy: Ok I'm on it! Howard! We need your help!
But Howard just stands there with a chill in his bones. Randy go to save Shawn but the fence breaks and the zombies eat Shawn much to Howard and Clementine's horror. Hershel shows up with his shotgun and he looks horrified when he sees Shawn but he shoots the three walkers. Hershel goes to Shawn.
Shawn: I'm ok pop... I'm ok... They tried to get me, man.
Hershel: I'll stitch you up. You will be better.
Shawn: Lee and Randy tried to save me...
Hershel: I know.
Shawn: I'm sorry...
Shawn dies. Kenny, Katjaa, and Duck show up.
Hershel: Get out... GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!
Kenny:... I'm sorry.
Hershel: SORRY?! Your son is alive, you don't get to be sorry! You two tried to help him, but this piece of shit left him to die!
Randy: Mr. Hershel, please! You can't blame Kenny for not being able to save your son. He tried to save his own son.
Hershel: THE HELL I CAN! You watch your backs. Wait until it's your friend and you will need his help.
Lee: We're sorry.
Hershel: Please... Just go. GET OUT AND NEVER COME BACK!
Hershel goes back to Shawn, grieving him. Lee look at Kenny while Randy look at Howard.
Howard: This is all your fault that we kick out from this barn, Cunningham!
Randy: My fault?! You're the one who just stands there and sees Shawn get bit!
Howard: Why don't you use your nin... I mean your Ninjutsu to fight the zombies.
Randy: But I can't just nin... ninjutsu out like that. Besides, everybody will see me! And the tractor are heavy too. Do you understand that?!
Kenny: We've got that ride to Macon if you want.
Kenny and his family walk away.
Clementine: Do we have to go?
Lee: Yes, Clem. Who knows, maybe Macon will be much safer.
Clementine: Ok.
Howard: I'm hungry.
Randy: I know you're hungry, Howard. Just hold up, ok?
Howard crossing his arm and murmuring
Howard: Like I have to follow what you said
Lee, Clementine, Randy, and Howard begin to follow Kenny and his family.
To Be Continued.
