Lee, Randy, Howard, and Kenny are almost at River Street.
Lee: Keep our eyes out for Chuck. He might be waiting for us around here.
Kenny: Yeah… Sure…
Howard: I hope that hobo is okay.
Lee: I hope so too.
Randy: Kenny...
Kenny: What?
Randy: Can we talk?
Kenny: We are almost there. Talking can wait.
Suddenly, the bell is heard ringing again.
Kenny: Son of a bitch! That bastard's fucking with us again. It's another trap.
Lee: No. Listen. That's not the same bell as before. This one's farther off. Whatever it is, it's gonna get the dead moving over there.
Howard: Well, that's lucky.
Some walkers show up. Randy, Lee, Howard, and Kenny begin to hide.
Kenny: What in the hell is going on?
Howard: I don't know.
Lee: Maybe whoever is ringing that is just trying to distract us. Create a diversion.
Randy: It seems like it.
Kenny: Whatever. I find whoever's doing that, I'll ring their motherfucking bell for 'em!
Howard: I'm with you, Kenny.
The walkers walk away.
Kenny: Hmph. Let's keep moving.
The guys continue their path to River Street. They finally get to River Street.
Howard: Okay, nothing is behind us so I think we're- what the juice?!
The guys look around and some of the boats are damaged.
Kenny: There's gotta be a boat…. there's gotta be.
Randy: I don't know.
Lee: Are you sure about that? It doesn't look like it to me. Maybe we need to start thinking about a plan B.
Randy: I agree with Lee. We need a plan B.
Kenny: This IS the plan! It's the only one we've got, and you guys pissin' on it front of everyone like ya'll did back at the house ain't exactly helping. Well screw ya'll, I ain't giving up that easy.
Kenny goes to the docks. He looks at a boat.
Kenny: This one might still be salvageable.
Howard: Really? I hate this plan.
Randy: You'd better be right about this.
Kenny: I said it might be. Gimme a fucking break. I'm a fishing captain, not a miracle worker.
Kenny looks at the damaged boat and talks to Lee, Randy, and Howard.
Kenny: I'll check it out. You guys look further along the waterfront. Maybe there's something at the other end.
Lee: I don't think we should split up too far.
Kenny: We don't have to. See that telescope? You can see all the way along the waterfront from right there. See what you can find.
Lee, Randy, and Howard: Ok.
The boys begin to look around. Randy looks through the telescope but realizes he needs a quarter to activate it.
Randy: Great. Needs a quarter to work.
Lee and Randy are searching while Howard is just standing in one spot, looking shocked.
Randy: Howard, what's wrong?
Howard points at what's in front of him.
Howard: Look.
Lee and Randy walk over to Howard and when they see what's in front of them they are shocked. They see many walkers impaled by spikes.
Randy: What the double juice...
Lee: That's fucked up.
Howard: Shnasty
Randy: Who would do such a thing?
Lee: I don't know.
Howard: Well, we can't let this distract us. Let's go somewhere else.
Randy: Well, I did check the telescope and it doesn't work. It needs a coin.
Lee: I see a newsstand with a cash register. Let's go over there.
Lee and Randy go to the newsstand.
Lee: Hello beautiful.
Lee checks the cash register and it's empty.
Lee: Empty.
Randy: Yeah, that would have been too easy.
Lee and Randy leave the newsstand. Howard spots a newspaper machine.
Howard: Newspaper? Who needs them if we have internet?
Lee: Keep your computer and emails or any stuff you love and use pen and paper instead, Howard
Howard: Dumb.
Randy: Maybe we can find a penny in that newspaper machine.
Howard: Good idea, Cunningham, but how are we supposed to get the coin inside this newspaper machine?
Lee: Maybe this can help.
Lee shows them a monkey wrench.
Howard: Oh good, a monkey wrench. Good solution, Everett.
Lee uses the monkey wrench on the newspaper machine and a coin comes out of it.
Randy: Now we can use this for the telescope.
Lee, Randy, and Howard walk over to the telescope. Lee is about to use the coin but...
Kenny: Fuck!
Randy: What's wrong?
Kenny: It ain't gonna work. Hull's cracked beneath the water line, plus someone stripped out the battery.
Howard: That sucks.
Lee: You can't fix it?
Kenny sees the impaled walkers.
Kenny: What the- What the hell is that?!
Randy: A fate worse then death...
Lee puts the coin in the telescope.
Lee: Ok, it works.
Lee grabs the telescope and looks around. When he looks at a building, he sees a stranger on the building, climbing down.
Lee: What the hell?
Randy: What is it, Lee?
Lee: I see someone in a building. Get down, get down!
Lee, Randy, Howard, and Kenny hide. The same stranger that Lee saw shows up and is at the newsstand.
Kenny: Why the hell are we hiding?
Lee: Someone came down from that building at the end of the street.
Randy: Like a ninja?
Lee: Well, kinda.
Kenny: Where'd he go?
Howard: I saw him run into the newsstand.
Randy: Good eye there, Big H.
Kenny: Could be our bell ringer. How about we go find out?
Randy: We didn't come here looking for trouble.
Kenny: Yeah well, it seems to have a way of finding us anyways. Look, this could be Gary from the radio, the one who's been messing with us. If he is, we can put an end to it, right now.
Lee: Yeah, but let's be a reason to him first.
Kenny: Okay, you and Randy head up the middle of the street, me and Howard will go around the side, cover your flank,. We'll come up on him quiet, take him by surprise.
Lee: I just want to talk with this guy.
Kenny: Oh, we're gonna talk.
Kenny and Howard run and hide. The stranger is at the newsstand.
Lee: Let me go first, Randy. Cover me if he tries to attack me.
Randy: Okay
Lee begins to sneak up and when he is about to aim his monkey wrench, the stranger is not at the newsstand anymore. Lee turns his back and the stranger is behind him. The stranger tries to hit Lee with a pickaxe but Lee manages to block his attack in a second and punch the stranger. And the stranger decided to attack Lee with a fist but Randy came to his aid and tripped the stranger making him fall to the ground. Lee was on top of the stranger and pointed a gun at him while Randy was beside him. Suddenly, they heard a voice.
Clementine: Lee!
The stranger, Lee, and Randy are surprised when they saw Clementine.
Lee and Randy: Clem?
Suddenly Douglas(rc9gn) came as well and he was breathing heavily from chasing after Clementine.
Douglas(rc9gn): *breathes heavily* There you are, Clem. *breathe heavily* You shouldn't run from the house like that and you're lucky no *breathe heavily* walkers follow us.
Douglas(rc9gn) notices Lee and Randy and the stranger.
Douglas(rc9gn): Oh hi.
The stranger tries to get up but Lee stops him. The stranger took off his hoodie.
Randy: Are you a woman from a radio?
Stranger: I'm a woman but not from a radio. Full marks for observation.
The stranger's voice is female, meaning that she is a woman. The woman took off her mask and she is very young.
Woman: You people not from Crawford.
Douglas(rc9gn): Who are you?
Woman: I told you guys the same thing.
Howard and Kenny come out, Kenny aiming his guns at the woman.
Randy: Howard, Kenny, don't!
Kenny is about to shoot, The woman hears him and ducks, successfully tripping Kenny and Howard, the gun discharging on contact with the ground. The Woman is about to kill Kenny and Howard.
Lee: No! They are with us!
The woman stops and Kenny and Howard get up.
Woman: Who the hell are you people?
Lee: Everybody just calm down.
Kenny: I'll calm down once she tells me who the fuck she is!
Woman: Back off asshole. The name's Molly.
Lee: Molly, I'm Lee, this is Kenny, Randy, Howard, Douglas(rc9gn), and Clementine. We're not looking for any trouble.
Clementine: Hi.
Molly: You guys really aren't from Crawford, are you?
Lee: No, I'm from Macon. Kenny here's from Florida. And these boys from Norrisville.
Kenny: She didn't ask for our life stories, Lee. What's the deal with this Crawford place?
Howard: Yea, What's Crawford?
Molly: You sure you wanna know?
Douglas(rc9gn): Yes. You can tell us everything without hesitation.
Howard: SHUT UP, DOUGLAS!
Molly: Will you keep it down, big guy?
Howard: But it's Douglas(rc9gn) we're talking about.
Lee: It doesn't matter. Just let him talk.
Molly: When everything started going to shit, some people got together and sealed off that whole neighborhood. Folks willing to do anything to stay alive, stop the dead getting in. I try to avoid 'em.
Kenny: Why?
Molly: Let's just say they have a zero-tolerance policy for anyone who won't - or can't - live by their rules.
Kenny: So how'd you know we weren't them?
Molly: Because there are no children in Crawford. Not anymore.
Howard: What do you mean, no children? Why not?
Molly: No children, no elderly, no one with advanced medical conditions. Basically, no-one who might be a burden on the community. Crawford's all the survival of the fittest. That's how they survived, while the rest of the world went to shit around them.
Kenny: Jesus Christ…
Molly: Well, just the opposite, when you think about it.
Douglas(rc9gn): But still… children? You're not saying that they…?
Kenny: In God's name, why?
Molly: No-one stays Crawford unless they can pull their own weight. Otherwise you're just another mouth to feed, another drain on their precious resources.
Clementine: What does that mean, pull their own weight?
Lee: It just means being able to help out. Like you do all the time.
Kenny: Doesn't sound like any kinda way to live to me.
Molly: Couldn't agree more.
Randy: How do you know all this?
Molly: Everyone in Savannah knew. What was going on inside Crawford got passed around like a ghost story. Except this one was true.
Howard: Going into this town is a big mistake!
Douglas(rc9gn): Then do you know who's been ringing the bell at the church?
Molly: Yeah, that would be me.
Kenny: I knew it! Lee, I knew she was the one who's been following us, working with that woman on the radio!
Molly: Get that finger out of my face, grampa, before I jam it straight up your ass. I haven't been following you. I don't even know who the hell you people are.
Howard: I agree with Kenny. I bet you're working with that woman and we knew it!
Molly: You better watch your tone, Fatty. And don't trip smell on me too.
Howard: WHY YOU?!
Randy: Calm down, You guys. Plus, I don't think she works for that woman.
Kenny: Yeah well, whoever you are, ringing that bells this morning nearly got us all killed, raised the dead all around us!.
Molly: That's the idea genius,It's how I get around. I ring a bell in one neighborhood to attract the local geeks toward it, buys me some time to scavenge the areas they cleared out..
Kenny: Geeks? Is that what you call them?
Molly: Yeah, you know, like in the carnival. They'll eat anything, alive or dead.
Lee: That's pretty smart, with the bells.
Molly: Doesn't take much to outsmart the dead. Bunch of dumb-asses. You just gotta move fast, get in and out before they start to wander back again. Look, I'm gonna ask you people again: you're not from Crawford, so who the hell are you? What are you doing here?
Randy: We came down here looking for a boat, hoping to get our people out of here and find someplace safe.
Douglas(rc9gn): Did you guys find the boat yet?
Kenny: We're still looking for it right now.
Molly: Good luck with that. Anyone with a boat took it out of here as soon as people started eating each other. Any that got left behind, Crawford stripped 'em for parts. Cars too.
Kenny: There's gotta be something.
Molly: If there was, do you think I'd still be here? I've been over every inch of this city, this whole place is picked clean.
Kenny: Goddammit! Fuck!
Molly: Hey! Moron! You wanna keep your voice down?
Kenny:... Shit.
Molly: Since you're not getting on any boat, I'd advise you folks to go back where you came from, before-
The walkers show up.
Randy: Oh no.
Lee: I think they heard the gunshot.
Molly: Great. Just great.
Clementine: Isn't there another way back to the house?
Lee: Molly, is there-
Molly runs off, uses her pickaxe, and gets to a balcony.
Douglas(rc9gn): Woah, she climbs to the balcony like a ninja. She's a Kunoichi!
Howard: Shut up with your excitement, Douglas!
Randy: Actually, he's right.
Howard: Ah both of you, Shut up!
Lee: Is there another way out of here?
Molly: Don't know, don't care.
Kenny: So what the hell are we supposed to do?
Molly: I refer you to my previous answer.
Clementine: But you have to help us! Please!
Molly looks at Clementine and she sighs.
Molly: Come on! Make it fast!
Clementine grabs Molly's hand and gets to the balcony. Next is Douglas(rc9gn), Kenny and Howard, and Lee and Randy next. But before that, it was too late. The walkers were getting closer.
Clementine: No! Lee! Randy!
Howard: Come on, you guys!
Kenny: C'mon, you guys, get ya'll ass outta there!
Douglas(rc9gn): Guys, I think I saw a manhole under the dumpster! Use it to escape!
Lee pushes the dumpster and there is a manhole. He and Randy tries to open it but it doesn't work.
Lee: Gah! Can't get it open!
Molly: Here! Use that to pry it open!
Molly throws her pickaxe on the ground and Lee picks it up. He uses the pickaxe to open the manhole and it works. He and Randy jump in.
Clementine: LEE!
Howard: CUNNINGHAM!
To Be Continued.
