Chapter 6
At the St. John Dairy, Andy turns off the generator power for Lee and Mark to checked on the fence. Randy and Howard were sitting on the bench at Dairy-house. Randy has seen Lee and Mark go to the gate to check the fence. Randy begins to thought to himself
Randy: Be careful, Lee. Ugh man, I should've gone with them.
Randy turned around and he noticed the awards on the wall in front of the house.
Randy: Wow, I never knew this dairy won a lot of awards and ribbons.
"This place was my daddy's life. It meant everything to him."
Randy turned around and seen Andy at the front stairs.
Andy: You know, when he first bought this place, this was a single story house.
Randy: Is that true?
Andy: After us kids were born, he insisted on adding a second floor. Said they had to have room for as many babies as they could have. …Momma was done after Dan.
Howard: I bet your parents couldn't handle so many babies since they only had you and Danny. What a brownnoser.
Randy: Howard!
Andy stared at Howard awkwardly
Randy: I'm sorry what my friend said to you. Just forgive him, Andy.
Andy: Umm... it's okay, Randy. Just your friend need to lighter his joke.
Randy: Yeah, he needs to. Also, my parents only stopped after they had me.
Andy: Then one day the world…Now this place is all we have left of Daddy. That's why we take such good care if it, and why we want to share it with decent groups like yourselves.
Randy crossed his arm, slight smile and nodded to Andy
Andy: Now if you excuse me, I need to check on the generator again.
Randy: Okay, See you later.
As Andy walks away leaving Randy and Howard. Randy thought to himself again.
Randy: I think these people can be trustworthy. But still I -
Randy's thought suddenly been stopped by Howard
Howard: Cunningham, we need to talk about the ninja thing.
Randy: The ninja thing?
Howard: It's been 3 months but you didn't use your ninja mask to protect the group.
Randy: I really would but…
Howard: But what?!
Randy: But the nomicon took the mask to prevent me from exposing the secret!
Howard: How's that can expose the ninja secret?! You can hide to transform yourself into the ninja. How's that problem?!
Randy: Well, if I'm a ninja during the outbreak and around the group, our group will notice I'm missing! Especially Lee, Clementine, and Theresa.
Howard: So…?!
Randy: So the Nomicon force me to keep the ninja secret at any cost.
Howard: Well more like selfishness to me! Why don't you talk to the Nomicon!
Randy: I really want to but The Nomicon refuses to open the book! What's the point!
Howard: Well that's stupid! Without the ninja, our group is gonna die! Well, I don't include Lilly, Larry, Douglas(rc9gn) and Duck besides they were annoying.
Randy: How's Duck can be annoying to you? He's a kid.
Howard: Well not if he doesn't keep his mouth shut about Robin and Batman.
Randy: Yeah ok. You know I'm a ninja and I've been trained so hard in my freshman year, Howard. And I'm going to tell you that I can protect this group without the mask! I'll never let my comrades die! No matter what happens!
Suddenly, Brenda appears at the front door. Which making Randy and Howard a bit shocked
Brenda: Did you say something, sweetie?
Randy: Um… Nothing, Brenda. Umm… nothing at all.
Brenda: Well, okay then.
When Brenda almost entering the house, Randy suddenly stops her.
Randy: Wait...
Brenda: Yes, Randy?
Randy: Can Howard and I help you with anything around the house?
Howard: It's not like I'm going to help them. I'm tired.
Randy give Howard a nasty glare as he turns to Brenda who still slightly smile.
Brenda: It's okay, sweetie. I think with Danny's help I've got things pretty well squared away in the kitchen, but feel free to check with Andy. He's got a lot of weight on his shoulders these days so I'm sure he'd love any help he can get.
Randy: Well I think Lee and Mark help Andy checked on the fence.
Brenda: Oh that's very kind of them. But why didn't you help them?
Randy: I really want to but Lee wants me to stay here with Howard.
Brenda: Oh that's very kind of him. Every adult always protects the youth from danger, just like I did to my boys.
Randy: You bet.
Randy asked another question to Brenda
Randy: How many rooms does this house have?
Brenda: Rooms? Why do you ask?
Randy: It looks custom built.
Brenda: Nice of you to notice. My husband put a lot of work into this old house.
Randy: Well, He did a fantastic job.
Brenda: I believe in making a house a home.
Randy asked again to Brenda
Randy: What happened to the rest of your staff?
Brenda: We've had our share of tragedy here… just like everyone else I'm sure. Some of our staff took off to find their families soon as they heard the news. The few that stuck around… well... we lost most of 'em the first night those things showed up here. It was.. a tough night.
When Randy's begin to ask about dinner, Howard talks to Brenda.
Howard: When will dinner be ready?
Brenda: It'll be a while still, but it'll we worth it, trust me.
Randy: Thanks for asking, Howard.
Randy turns to Brenda
Randy: How has your family been holding up since… you know?
Brenda: My boys have been my saving grace. They both left their jobs and came home to help out after the attacks started happening.
Randy: Well, I'm glad they did.
Brenda: Yeah, I think it was hardest on Andy. Dan was always more of a mama's boy, but don't tell him I said that!
Randy: Your family has done an amazing job of keeping this place up.
Brenda: Well now aren't you sweet, thank you, Randy. The boys and I have tried to adapt as best we can, but we still keep some of our old routines to help remind us of better times.
Randy doesn't have any questions to ask
Randy: Well, if anything comes up that I can help with, feel free to let me know.
Brenda: Well, Randy, I sure appreciate it.
Randy: No problem.
Brenda enters the house while Randy and Howard sitting on a bench. Suddenly he heard a scream that comes from the back of the farm.
Howard: What was that?!
Randy: It sounds like Mark screaming!
Randy get up from the bench and runs towards Andy who fixes the generator
Howard: Wait for me, Cunningham.
Howard follows randy.
Randy: Andy, I think I heard a scream comes from the back of the farm. I think it's Mark.
Andy: Don't worry, Randy. I think they're just giving me a sign that the fence is clear.
Randy: Are you sure? Because I-
Andy, Randy, and Howard suddenly sees Lee and Mark who has an arrow in his shoulder run to the front gate much to the two boys and Andy shocked and runs to them
Andy: Lee, what's wrong?
Randy: What the juice, Mark?!
Howard: Holy cheese!
Lee: The electric fence came on! Some people started attacking from the woods and we got trapped between them and the fence!
Danny appears at the front door and rush to them
Danny: Holy shit! Are you okay?
Andy: I… I hear Mark yell and thought y'all were giving me the all clear! Man, I am sorry.
Brenda appears at the front door and saw Mark with an arrow in his shoulder.
Brenda: Oh, my Lord! What happened to you, sweetheart?!
Andy: It was those bastards in the woods, mama…
Howard: Who?
Danny: The bandits.
Howard: Bandits! I thought this place was safe enough.
Andy: Well it did, I'm so sorry, Howard.
Mark: Yeah… I'll be all right once it's out, but, goddamn it hurts!
The group arrives at the dairy.
Kenny: Hey Y'all!
The group sees Lee, Randy, Howard, the St. Johns and Mark who has an arrow in his shoulder much to the group's horror.
Katjaa: Mark! Oh my God, what happened?!
Douglas(rc9gn): WTJ, Mark?!
Lee: He got shot with an arrow.
Lilly: Christ! Are you going to be ok?
Mark: Yeah, I'm fine. I should just... pull it out...
Brenda: Oh no, honey, C'mon, Brenda's got you. C'mon inside now. We'll have you sorted out.
Brenda and Katjaa go with Mark.
Larry: What kind of shit is this?
Lee: We ran into some people on the way here... bandits I guess. I think it was them that attacked us.
Andy: They gave us a lot of problems in the beginning, killed a bunch of our farmhands. We were able to get 'em stop by makin' a deal.
Randy: Making a deal?
Kenny: You KNEW these people?
Danny: Food for protection. Not like we had much of a choice, but they did stop hasslin' us.
Larry: God dammit! Bucky said this place is safe!
Randy: Maybe it's isn't as safe here as we thought.
Andy: Look, I'm sorry, we've never had them screw with us like this! Not since we started givin' 'em food. Ugh, I guess they were sent by "her".
Randy: "Her" who?
Danny: The leader of the Save-Lots. She's the one who's with bandits. She has a name. I guess it's Amanda.
Randy: Amanda?
Danny: Yeah, but she doesn't tell us her surname. And we remember that she talks to us with seductive words and we feel blurring after that but I remember that I give them foods that they want to.
Randy thinking about named "Amanda"
Randy: I do remember that name "Amanda" but who?
Andy: Listen, we may have an agreement with those people but we will NOT stand for this shit.
Danny: Ain't no way we're gonna let those sons o' bitches get away with this!
Kenny: You know where these assholes are?
Danny: They're hard to pin down, but I think I know where at least ONE of their camps are.
Howard: The Bandits have a camp? I thought they have better shelter than the Motor inn!
Lilly: Maybe you should join them, Howard!
Howard: Bite me, witch!
Larry: Watch your mouth, Fatass! You should learn some goddamn matters!
Lilly: Dad, can you please just calm down. Remember you have a heart attack.
Larry listen what Lilly said and giving Howard an angry glared. Danny talks to Lee.
Danny: When you're ready to go scope out that bandit camp, come find us.
Lee: Ok.
Andy and Danny walks away, Randy begins to talk
Randy: Can I come with you, guys? I really need to-
Lee: No, Randy. This is a grown-up work.
Randy: Lee, I don't want to hear "no" answers. I'm only doing this for you, me, Howard and Clementine
When Lee's about to make an excuse, Kenny suddenly talked to him.
Kenny: Lee, maybe you should bring Randy too. He can handle that kind of work.
Lee: But Kenny, he's just a kid.
Kenny: I know, Lee but can't you see he ever trying to save you from the walker back at the motor inn. I think he can cover for you.
Lee: Fine. Randy, you can come with us.
Randy: Got it, Lee.
Lilly begin to complain
Lilly: Bandits? Amanda? Are you serious? This place isn't safe, we can't stay here.
Kenny: Not safe?! This place is a hell of a lot safer than that motor inn. I think all of us and our guns can handle a couple of punks with bows and arrows and some mysterious woman named "Amanda"! What we need to do is find a way to get our whole group out here to stay. Take this place over if we have to.
Howard: I agree with what Kenny said. I really like this way better than that trash motel.
Larry: Woah! Cool your jets there, Rambo. These are nice people. Let's not do anything to get us thrown out before we eat!
Lee: Me and Randy gonna head out and help Dan deal with these bandits. You guys should try to make friends with Andy and Brenda while I'm gone.
Larry: Well that's easy. I've got charmed coming outta my ass.
Lilly: Yeah, that's… really charming, dad.
Randy and Howard begin to laugh
Randy and Howard: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Larry: The Teen boys laughing. How original.
Lee: Where's Ben, Bucky, Carley, Debbie and Doug(twdg)?
Lilly: Since they ate some of the food on the way back to get us, those five are going to watch the motor inn until we come back.
When Andy and Danny finished their discussion. Andy walks to the group.
Andy: Hey kids, look what Lee got working for ya!
Clementine and Duck see the swing.
Clementine: A swing! I love swings! Just like at my treehouse! Come on, Duck!
Clementine: Thanks Lee, you're the best!
Duck: Yeah!
Lee smile at Clementine as she and Duck run to the swing.
Douglas(rc9gn): I'm glad they're happy.
Howard: Shut it, Douglas(rc9gn).
Douglas(rc9gn) angrily glares at Howard.
Howard: Your anger glares won't scare me.
Howard and Douglas(rc9gn) are about to fight but Lee stop them
Lee: Boys, please stop fighting in the dairy. You both please be nice. For once. For one day.
Howard: Don't tell me what to do!
Howard walks away leaving Lee and Douglas(rc9gn)
Douglas(rc9gn): That weinerman has always been like this! I couldn't stand him!
Lee: Just relax, Douglas(rc9gn). You know he's always been like this.
Douglas: Yeah he is and thanks for giving me an advise.
Douglas walks away. Lee begins to thought to himself about Howard and Douglas(rc9gn)
Lee: Well that will never change anything.
Theresa looks at Randy who seems worried.
Theresa: What's wrong, Randy?
Randy: I'm just thinking about this woman named "Amanda."
Theresa: Yeah. Who is this woman, anyway?
Randy: I have no idea.
To Be Continued.
A/N I've been work so hard on this crossover stories. But remember, I'm trying to tell this story from people's perspective other than Lee since we got his perspective from the game. Also, don't ask me to change the story or whatever. It's making me a headache.
