Chapter 3
Katjaa: Ken! Lee! Come here, please!
Randy heard Katjaa voice calling for Lee and Kenny and they walk over at Katjaa.
Kenny: He didn't make it, did he?
Katjaa: He… lost too much blood.
Kenny: Goddamnit!
Kenny walks away, didn't notice Randy at the front of the RV.
Kenny: I'm getting sick of this shit.
Katjaa: Ken, come back. There's nothing...
Lee: Let him go, Katjaa.
Katjaa: But…
Lee: He just needs time. It's been a rough morning.
Randy begin to approach toward Katjaa and Lee.
Randy: That man is already dead, Katjaa?
Katjaa: Yes, Randy. And I couldn't save him
Lee: Well… at least he's not our problem anymore.
Katjaa looks at Ben.
Katjaa: What about the other kid?
Lee and Randy are about to respond until... Mr. Parker turns into a walker and grabs Katjaa!
Katjaa: AAAAHHH!
Randy: WHAT THE JUICE?!
Lee: SHIT! KATJAA!
Lee and Randy pull Katjaa away from the walker. Lee screams at Larry and Mark.
Lee: THE AXE! HURRY!
The Parker walker grabs Lee and pulls him on the truck. Larry shows up.
Larry: GET OUT OF THE DAMN WAY!
Lee pushes the walker against the window of the truck. Larry aims his axe and accidentally hits the window of the truck instead of the walker.
Larry: Dammit! I had it!
The walker approaches Lee but Randy use his punch to stop the walker and Doug(twdg) arrives
Doug(twdg): I GOT 'EM!
Doug(twdg) hits the walker with a plank but it doesn't work. Theresa shows up next with her baton twirler.
Theresa: I'll save you!
Theresa tries to hit the walker but it doesn't work either. Lee kick the walker and the walker grab Lee's leg and Lee keeps kicking him and kick him hard against the trunk window and Lee falls off the truck.
Randy: GET UP, LEE!
Randy trying to get Lee up but the walker jumps on Randy.
Howard: CUNNINGHAM!
Theresa: NO!
Randy use his thumb to squeeze the walker's eyes and Carley shows up next.
Randy: SHOOT IT!
Carley puts her gun against the walker's head and shoots it, killing it.
Carley: Are you ok?
Randy: Yeah, thanks.
Theresa: Oh, I glad you're not bitten, Randy.
Lee: Don't worry, Theresa. He's fine.
Howard: Man, I thought I'm going to lose you.
Randy: I'm fine, Howard. Just fine.
Lee and Randy get up and Larry stares at Lee with anger.
Larry: Why'd ya bring him here in the first place, asshole?!
Lilly: Dad. Calm down!
Larry: You're gonna get us ALL killed!
Larry gives Lee his axe back. Kenny is comforting Katjaa and Ben shows up
Kenny: Why didn't you tell us he was bitten?!
Ben: What?
Kenny: He was bitten, and you didn't say a goddamn word!
Howard: Yeah! You should tell us about this!
Ben: But he wasn't bitten, I swear!
Kenny: Well your "not bitten" friend here came back to life and tried to kill my wife!
Howard: And also tried to kill my BFF too!
Ben: What?! Wait, y'all don't know?
Kenny: What the hell are you talking about?
Debbie: What are you trying to say?
Ben: It's not the bite that does it.
Randy: What?!
Ben: You come back no matter how you die if you don't destroy the brain that's what is going to happen, happen to all of us.
Everyone silent
Howard: You're lying.
Ben: It's true. I swear it.
Katjaa: Maybe, he's right. I didn't see any bites. It would explain why there's so many of em.
Bucky: That means, we're all infected, Ben?
Ben: I-I guess so. I don't know… All I know is that I've seen people turn who I KNOW were never bitten.
Lee: God help us.
Mark: It makes sense. In those first few days, it spread so fast.
Debbie: Car accidents, suicides and everything was making more of them.
Ben: When I first saw it happen, we were all hiding out in a gym and everybody thought we were finally safe. But one of the girls, Jenny Pitcher I think, I guess she couldn't take it. She took some pills. A lot of them. Someone went in the girls' room the next morning and…God...
Everybody is silent again and Larry begin to spoken
Larry: Shit just can't get any worse!
chomp*
Larry felt something behind his back. When Larry turn his head, he saw Howard climb and grabbed his shoulder
Howard: I bit you. Now you're gonna start turning.
*om nom nom*
Howard bite Larry's shoulder
Larry: Get this crazy fatass off of me!
Randy: Howard, stop that!
Lilly: Keep your fucking hands off of my dad, you goddamn idiot!
Debbie: What an idiot.
Everyone stared at Howard awkwardly. Suddenly, the bells of Doug's(twdg) security system are ringing.
Doug(twdg): Guys, better hide now!
Everyone stops and begin to hide.
Randy: Doug(twdg). It works.
Doug(twdg): Of course it works. I told you.
The group sees two strangers.
Man 1: Shit, where'd this string come from?
Man 2: Watch where you're walking, man.
Lilly talks to Ben.
Lilly: Who are those people?!
Ben: I-I don't know..
Lee: If they're friendly, we don't want to hurt them. They're not part of your group, are they?!
Ben: No. Mr. Parker, Travis and I were the last… …. the last ones.
Bucky: I'm sorry for your lost, Ben.
Kenny crouch at the board with the sniper rifle with him.
Kenny: There's two of 'em. We need to make a stand.
Carley: I agree with Kenny.
Lilly: No. We have a routine. We don't confront them if we don't have to.
The two strangers begin to walk again.
Man 2: You all right?
Man 1: Yeah, just gettin' untangled…
Man 2: I don't know how you're still alive, man.
Carley begin to feel impatience
Carley: I really have no choice, Lilly.
Carley stands up and aims her gun at the two strangers.
Carley: Back off!
The two strangers notice Carley.
Man 2: Woah, lady relax! Me and my brother, we… we just want to know if ya'll help us out.
Carley: I said back off!
Lilly: ...Carley...
Kenny stands up and aims his sniper at the two strangers.
Kenny: That's far enough and just heard what the lady said.
Man 2: Okay, okay… No problem.
Lee: We don't want any trouble.
Man 2: Of course, neither do we. My name is Andy St. John, this my brother Danny.
Randy: Are you armed?!
Danny: Yeah… for protection… Dead could be anywhere.
Andy: But, uh, Look like you folks got the motel locked down, which is fine, but if you spare any gas we'd be much obliged.
Debbie: What do you need gas for?
Danny: Our place is protected by an electric fence. Generators provide the electricity...
Andy: Our generators run on gas. Look, we own a dairy farm a few miles up the road. If y'all be willing to lower your guns, we can talk about some kind of trade.
Danny: How are y'all doing on food? We got plenty at the dairy.
Howard heard what Danny said
Howard: Really?! You still have more food with you?!
Danny: Umm… yes, kid. We got a lot of food at the dairy.
Howard begins to grab Randy's leg and begged.
Howard: This is it, Cunningham! That people have more food and I really need to eat! I'm starving to death here!
Randy: Okay, Big H. Just chill out.
Debbie: Yeah right. This fatso will never chill himself out.
Howard: You better watch your mouth, Debbie Kang.
Debbie: Hmph!
Bucky: I don't know, they seem nice enough.
Theresa: I agree with Bucky. They're seen very kind to me.
Douglas(rc9gn): I really can't trust them.
Howard: Shut up, Douglas(rc9gn)!
Douglas: What?! I have a right to say that!
Lilly: Lee, why don't you go with Mark, Randy, and Howard? Check the place out, see if it's legit.
Carley: I'm going with you. I got your backs if anything seems fishy.
Doug(twdg): I'll go too, improve the numbers, in case we run into anything dead.
Bucky: I'll go with you guys! I really want to see those electric fences they got!
Debbie: I'll come with you guys. I just really need to stay away from Lilly and her grumpy dad for a while.
Lilly felt annoyed after what Debbie said
Lilly: All right! You just go with them if you want to but Douglas(rc9gn) and Theresa will stay here with us!
Debbie: Yeah sure whatever!
Theresa: Debbie, please… Just stop…
Debbie: Yeah, yeah, yeah… I'm listening…
Andy begins to talk to the group
Andy: So what are y'all thinking?
Lee: You've got a deal. We'll bring some gas to your dairy. In exchange, you give us some food to bring back. We'll see how it goes from there.
Andy: Sounds fair. A couple of gallons should power one of our generators for a while.
Lee: Theresa, Douglas(rc9gn), you both stay here and take care of Clem. Ok?
Douglas(rc9gn): Don't worry, Lee. I can do that.
Howard: Like you're very good at babysitting, Douglas(rc9gn)!
Douglas(rc9gn): Oh please, Howard. I have two younger sisters and I know how to taking care of the children.
Howard: Blah blah blah whatever, Douglas(rc9gn)!
Theresa: Sure, just be careful.
Lee: We will be.
Lee, Randy, Howard, Carley, Doug(twdg), Ben, Mark, Debbie, Bucky, Andy, and Danny leave.
The group is in the forest.
Mark: So, this dairy… you guys really have food?
Andy: Sure do. We've lost most of the cattle, but we still have lots of milk, butter and cheese stocked up.
Danny: And with the vegetables we grow, we've got plenty of food.
Lee and Carley are talking to each other.
Carley: It's nice to get away from that motel for a while. This Lilly/Kenny thing is starting to get ridiculous. Personally, I'd be happier if you started to take charge more.
Lee: You think they'd want me for a leader?
Carley: Sure. Everybody looks up to you.
Lee: Well… not everyone thinks I'm so trustworthy.
Carley: Because of your past. Does anyone else know?
Lee: Randy and Howard know but they're okay with it.
Carley: That's it?
Lee: No. Larry knows.
Carley: Great, that can't be easy.
Lee: Clementine knows too I think. She was there when we were talking in the drugstore and she asked me about it. I couldn't lie to her.
Carley: What exactly did happen with the senator?
Lee: …It was an accident. I mean, I pretty much knew about the affair… Sometimes I wonder if I should tell the group about it...
Carley: You don't have to. Whatever happened before things went to hell doesn't matter anymore
Lee: Not sure everyone would see it that way.
Carley: Maybe you're right… Listen, over the years I've reported on some pretty messed up shit. I've seen situation like yours a hundred times, it doesn't make you a bad man…
Lee: I really appreciate that. Hmm… maybe we should talk to Doug(twdg).
Carley: Yeah sure why not…
Lee and Carley walk to Doug(twdg)
Carley: Doug(twdg)? Lee wants to talk to you.
Doug(twdg): Sure. What is it, Lee?
Lee: I really wanna say thanks for coming along.
Doug(twdg): Sure. I'd like to get a look at that electric fence they talked about. It might give me some ideas for something I can rig up at the motor inn.
Lee: Can an electric fence really stop walkers?
Doug explained as the three trailed behind Randy, Howard, Mark, Ben, Bucky, Debbie and two farm boys.
Doug(twdg): As long as the walkers aren't completely dehydrated, and the fence has enough juice, yeah, seems plausible. The electricity basically cooks you from the inside out, right?
Carley simply shrugged her shoulders while Lee gave him a look of confusion.
Lee: I guess so….
Doug(twdg): So if Walker stays in contact with the fence, it'll eventually cook its brain. Probably takes a while though…. and that can't be a good smell. Unless it smells like jerky… Man, I could go for some jerky.
Carley gave a slight chuckle at Doug's(twdg) explanation which brought a smile to Doug's face.
Doug(twdg): Ugh... I shouldn't have turned down the food that Randy offered me earlier
Carley: Did Randy offer you food?
Doug(twdg): Yeah he did but I told him to give it to Douglas(rc9gn).
Lee: That's very nice of you.
Doug(twdg): Yeah, I just need to take care of the kids.
Lee: Yeah and I'm still don't get it why Howard always yelled at Douglas(rc9gn)?
Carley: Maybe you should talk to Howard. And to be honest, I really don't like to see Douglas(rc9gn) been yelled by neither Howard or Larry.
Doug(twdg): So do I. The way Larry and Howard yelled at Douglas(rc9gn) is just like they yelled at me too.
Lee: Yeah I understand.
Carley: And all I know that Douglas(rc9gn) doesn't know how to shoot a gun. That would be explained why he didn't shoot a deer at the right time.
Lee: Well you should teach him how to shoot. It might be easy for him.
Carley: Maybe but not now because the gun shoot can attract the walkers. I can teach him when the time is right.
Lee sees something on Doug's(twdg) hand.
Lee: What's that you got there?
Doug(twdg): Oh. Nothing. Just a laser pointer I picked up during our last trip to the drugstore.
Howard, Bucky, and Debbie are talking
Bucky: I can wait to see those electric fences that St. John made! Electric fence ZING!
Howard: Brownnoser.
Debbie: Well, You need to wait until we reach to the Farm, Hensletter.
Bucky: Okay. Just as long as I can see the Electric fence!
Lee and Carley staring at Bucky awkwardly and begin to talk about him.
Carley: Bucky's kinda weird.
Lee: Not as weird as Duck.
Carley: Yeah. Even during an outbreak, he's making the best of a bad situation.
Lee: Yeah, I guess.
Howard appear at Lee's front side
Howard: Hey Lee
Lee: Yes, Howard…
Howard: How long we walk in the woods?! I'm starving!
Lee: Can't you just wait… It's not easy to survive, you know.
Howard: Yeah right, Like you're good enough to become a leader and you're the only survivor who had dark skin.
Lee: Howard!
Howard: What? I'm just saying.
Carley: That sounds racist, Howard.
Howard: How is that racist?!
Carley:... Let's keep moving.
Randy and Doug(twdg) are talking.
Doug(twdg): Man, I can't wait to eat.
Randy: Just be patience, Doug(twdg). We have to see if St. Johns are really trustworthy.
Doug(twdg): I know. I hope we get to eat something...
Randy: Me too.
Mark, Andy, and Danny are talking
Mark: I mean, thank God, Lee and Randy showed up when they did. Right, Lee?
Andy: Hey Lee, Randy. Why don't you guys tell us about yourselves?
Danny: Where ya both from?
Lee: I grew up in Macon.
Andy: Right in the Heart of Georgia, that's what I like to hear.
Danny: What about you, Randy?
Randy: I'm from Norrisville.
Andy: Norrisville? That's far away from here. I heard that Norrisville city is succeeded in initial defense.
Randy: Really?
Andy: Yeah, I heard that from the radio.
Debbie: It's a good thing it didn't happen. If the Norrisville is safe, we're going to change a plan.
Randy: What plan, Debbie?
Debbie: Hmm… maybe I talk about this later.
Andy: Y'all seem pretty settled in at the motor inn. Who's running things over there?
Lee: Lilly. She runs a pretty tight ship. She and her dad are ex-military.
Mark: Yeah, she knows her shit, but sometimes she really needs to know when to back off sometimes.
Debbie: I agree with that. She and her dad are total jerks.
Howard: Yeah, I hate that loud-mouthed woman and that old fart.
Danny: How many people ya got over there anyway?
Randy: Enough to defend ourselves.
Andy: That's good! It's getting dangerous out there, well you guys know.
Lee: Well for me, it's 16, including the kids.
Bucky: You forgot about Ben.
Ben: Me?
Bucky: Yep and that makes 17! ZING!
Howard: Can't you just talk normally, Hensletter!
Bucky: I talk normally here, Howard.
Howard: Yeah right!
Andy: Well, we'd love to get ya all out to the dairy. Like I said, we've got plenty of food, and quite frankly, we could always use an extra helping hand.
Ben: In the summers, I used to help out on a goat farm.
Bucky: *laugh* I bet they got your goat plenty of times, ZING!
Ben turned to Bucky and staring at him awkwardly.
Ben: Yeah, Bucky. It is.
Danny: Yeah, that's great. Everything helps!
Andy: Momma's been running the dairy for as long as I can remember but now it's gettin-
Suddenly, the group hear the man talked
Man: You think you're gonna cut me out of this?!
Andy: Shit! Get down!
Everybody gets down and they see two strangers who both wear masks and are arguing to each other.
Man 1: No one is trying to cut you out anything!
Man 2: You and Gary are always-
Howard: Who are these people?
Danny: Fuckin' bandits
Lee: Who?
Ben: Those look like the people who raided my camp.
Randy: Who are they?
Andy: Shh. Fucking assholes is who they are.
Carley: There's just two of them.
Andy: No, there are lots of them.
Doug(twdg): What should we do?
Man 2: Yeah, and you know what, we ate it all! What are you gonna fucking do about it!
Andy: Don't worry. Danny and I have ya covered if something happens, but let's just wait this out and hope they move on.
Man 1: FUCK YOU!
The man kicks the other man and shoots him much to the horror of the group. The man shoots the other man many times.
Man 1: FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!
Carley: Jesus!
Doug: Oh shit!
Debbie: Oh My!
The man leaves.
Man 1: Asshole.
Andy: The world here has gone to shit.
Randy: This world is really screwed up!
Debbie: Man, it's bad enough we have to fight those stupid walkers, but now we have to worry about bandits!
Howard: That could be worse!
Bucky: I'm not going to remember what I saw zing!
Andy: Come on, let's get to the dairy where it's safe.
The group continues its path to the dairy.
To Be Continued.
