Chapter 5

Randy walks to Kenny and Katjaa who were sitting on a couch.

Randy: Hey, you two.

Randy shows the broken flashlight to Kenny and Katjaa

Randy: Do you guys know anything about this broken flashlight?

Kenny: Fuck, we don't got many of those.

Randy: Yeah, it's a problem. The glass and the bulb are all busted out.

Katjaa: I saw some broken glass over by the ice machine. I meant to clean it up before the kids hurt themselves on it; I forgot though.

Randy: I'll talk to you later.

Randy walks toward the ice machine were the broken glass was there. Randy found a cluster of broken glass shards near the edge of the walled area of the motel. He picks some the broken glass and takes an example for the broken flashlight and it had a match.

Randy: Hmmm... This fits perfectly with the flashlight.

Randy then walks again to the walled area and he then discovers a pink, chalk-marked "X" on the wall facing away from the parking lot. He touches it.

Randy: Chalk?

Duck show up. Which makes Randy shocked.

Randy: Gah!

Duck: Pink. Hmm.

Randy crossed his arm while staring at Duck

Randy: Duck!

Duck: A clue!

Randy: Maybe.

Duck: What do you think it is?

Randy: Looks unusual.

Duck: Maybe it's a sign!

Randy look at the pink chalk-marked "X" again

Randy: It could be. It's pink chalk, which is weird.

Duck: Okay, back to investigating!

Duck runoff. Randy begins to find Lee and tell him about the pink chalk-marked "X". Randy found Lee, talking to Doug(twdg).

Lee: So. I just needed to tell you, I was going to prison when all this started.

Doug(twdg) wide his eyes as he looked a bit startled.

Doug(twdg): Woah,… for real?

Lee: Yeah. Didn't Carley tell you about that?

Doug(twdg): No, she didn't. Did Carley know?

Lee: Of course she knows. She's a news reporter.

Doug(twdg) Oh… And what was it for?

Lee: It was for murder. I killed a guy in a fight.

Doug(twdg): Oh…. So what about Randy, Howard and Clementine, they know, right?

Lee: Yes they are, Doug but they're…. fine with that.

Doug(twdg): But I don't think you're a bad guy because you're helpful especially you and Randy save me back at the drugstore.

Lee smiles at Doug(twdg)

Lee: Thanks… Catch you later, Doug.

Lee walks away and Randy approaches him

Randy: Hey Lee…

Lee: Hey Randy, did you find something?

Randy: Yeah, I found a pink, chalk-marked "X" on the wall near the ice machine. I'm also found broken glass shards too. And when I pick some it to take an example for the broken flashlight and it had a match.

Lee: Christ...

Randy: Yeah and we need to found that Pink Chalk.

Lee: Maybe one of our group has one. Let's talk to them

Randy: Okay.

Randy and Lee separated again to investigate. Lee walks to Doug(twdg) while Randy walks to Ben and Bucky.

Randy: Hey you two, I need a piece of chalk. Do you guys know where I can get any?

Bucky: No, I don't have one.

Ben: Yeah….Why would we have any?

Randy: Just asking around, you know.

Ben: Well, we don't play with that stuff. I've got my… well, my thoughts and I've been readin' The Bible I found in my room.

Bucky: Yeah and for me, I'm just playing with my missing triangle instrument that Clementine found inside the couch which I don't know who's the one who hides it.

Randy: That's what it's there for…. Talk to you later, guys.

Ben: Bye.

Bucky: Bye Randy.

Randy walks to Howard who was leaning against the wall, crossed arms and still angry.

Randy: Hey Howard…

Howard: If this is about I killed Larry, I don't wanna hear it, Cunningham.

Randy: No, Howard….. Have you seen any chalk around?

Howard: Why should I have? Didn't Clementine and Duck have it?

Randy: Yeah, of course. I'll talk to Clementine…. Talk to you later, Big H.

Howard: Whatever.

Randy sigh sadly at his Best Friend. Randy looks at Clementine because she has chalk. Randy thoughts.

Randy: Clementine can't be involved in this, isn't it?

Randy walks over to Clementine.

Randy: Hey Clem… Do you have any pink chalk?

Clementine: No. It's gone somewhere.

Randy: Hmm….

Clementine: Do you want blue?

Randy: No, no, it's okay.

Randy then hear Duck calling him

Duck: Psst, Randy.

Randy looks at Duck and walks over to him.

Duck: I found something.

Randy: What is it?

Duck show the pink chalk to Randy

Duck: I found this piece of pink chalk and a scuff of it over by the gate!

Randy: Really?

Duck: Totally! I was combing the scene for clues and-

Randy: Yeah, Duck, I got it. Good job.

Randy walks over to the gate but he gets stopped by Duck who wants a high-five. Randy sigh annoyed but Randy had no choice but high-fives

Duck.

Duck: Cool!

Randy: Yeah Duck I know. Also, have you found anything else?

Duck: Just the chalk. I also found some bugs underneath the stairs. Don't tell Clementine.

Randy look at him suspiciously. Randy knows Duck was lying about a bug because Clementine put it under Duck's pillow to scare it.

Randy: Okay, I won't…. You didn't break the flashlight, did you Duck?

Duck: No. Mom and Dad won't let me touch any of their stuff. Lilly neither. Except for Bucky's triangle instrument. I found it inside the couch but don't tell Clementine and Bucky about this.

Randy sigh annoyed. Duck was lying again about it because Clementine is the one who found Bucky's instrument.

Randy: Okay and that's probably for the best.

Duck: But are you going to tell Lee about this?

Randy look at Duck curiously

Randy: What?

Duck: I know you're under 17. That means you need a parent or guardian.

Randy: Ah man… this is just like when I wanna see a scary movie with Howard and Plop Plop.

Duck: Plop Plop? Who's Plop Plop?

Randy: Nothing Duck. Just stay inside the gate while I'll get Lee here and don't do anything stupid.

Duck: I will, I will.

Randy walks over to Lee who was talking to Kenny and Katjaa about pink chalk.

Katjaa: Ha, yes, Clementine loves to draw with it.

Lee: Yeah, of course, I'll-

Before Lee finished talking, Randy pulled his sleeves shirt.

Randy: Hey Lee.

Lee: Yes, Randy.

Randy: I gonna need you right now.

Lee: Okay Randy.

Lee look at Kenny and Katjaa.

Lee: I'll talk to you later.

Lee and Randy walk to the gate were Duck standing nearby.

Lee: Did you find pink chalk?

Randy: Yeah but Duck finds a piece of it over by the gate.

Lee: Really.

Randy: Of Course.

Lee look at Duck suspiciously who felt confident.

Lee: You seem to know a bit about all of this… the chalk, you found the scuff here, this is going to sound crazy but you're not involved, are you?

Duck: No! I'm a good guy.

Lee: Okay

Randy and Lee notice chalk scuff on the ground next to the gate.

Lee: More chalk…

Lee pushed the gate a bit to see a pink chalk scuff.

Randy: More chalk scuff…

Lee: Hmm… somebody was over here too.

Duck: See, I did good, huh.

Randy: Yes Duck, you did well.

Lee: We suppose we should go out there and look around.

Randy: Yeah and we need to watch ourselves and Duck, you stay here this time. Seriously.

Duck: Okay.

Lee opens the gate and he and Randy walk, look at the fence that had arrows and bullet holes on it.

Lee: Those bandits gave us hell, but they've been quiet for days now.

Randy: Yeah but I think they going to attack us by surprise.

Lee: Of course, Randy.

They walk again next to the wall and there is a grate.

Randy: There's a grate down there. Do you think we should open it?

Lee: Well, of course, Randy. Maybe something hiding it.

Randy opens the grate and discovers a brown paper bag.

Lee: Did you find something?

Randy: Yeah. It's a bag of something.

Randy picked up a brown paper bag. Randy checked it inside the bag and its medicine. The group's medicine.

Randy: It's full of meds in it! Meds that we collect days ago!

Lee: Son of a bitch….

Randy: Let's tell Lilly about this.

Lee: Yeah...
