Season 4: Episode 3

Still confused and worried about the encounter Clem had just had with Lily, as well as of course dealing with the problems of Violet's disappearance.

"So, um...what should we do now?" Kyle asked awkwardly.

"Let's go the diner." Clem said. "We...we should talk to Amy, I just...Listen guys, I've got some strange feelings about this and I want to talk to Amy about them."

The others shared worried glances and finally Becca spoke up. "Well, okay, I think you're right...let's see if this helps us any."

The others all agreed and together they began making their way down the street, towards the diner where Violet's mom worked. As they walked they noticed the two search groups that were also out looking for Michelle and Rondi, guided by both girl's respective parents. Rondi's looked particularly angry and clearly still weren't happy with the reveal that their daughter wasn't as popular and liked as they thought. Michelle's parents meanwhile were worried and clearly looking for their daughter, purely out of concern for her safety.

"Just shows you...how Rondi is still so...spoiled after everything." Brody said softly.

Sarah bit her lip. "What about Michelle, think she can be…?"

"I believe she can." David remarked.

The boys all nodded, as did Clem and then Sophie bit her lip.

"Even so, I just hope we can get all three of them back…"

The others agreed to that too and pressed on to the diner.

Reaching the diner they found Amy easily. She wasn't working but she was present, seated at one of the booths, looking downcast and resting her head in her hands as she propped her elbows on the table.

"Amy." Clem said softly as she sat down in the booth, smoothing her skirt under her.

Amy started and looked up, seeing the teens around her and she straightened.

"Oh, Clementine...everyone." She said gently. "I...I'm so sorry, I just-"

Brody shook her head. "No, don't apologize, it's...you've not heard anything?"

Amy bowed her head. "No, I...there's no word on Violet, no sign of her, they can't find anything that would have left to her disappearance."

"About that…" Clem said hesitantly.

Amy turned to her, raising an eyebrow, indicating for her to continue.

Clem sighed and continued. "I'm worried...even if it's not like, what happened with me, I still think Violet may, may have been kidnapped."

The others inhaled sharply, looking between Clem and Amy, to their shock, Amy just nodded.

"I...I admit, I've been thinking that, I've been praying it wasn't the case but…" Amy began to explain but cut herself off. "I fear it may indeed be the case. But I don't understand, who would do this...and why?"

"That…" Clem swallowed. "That I don't know, I don't get it, I mean...think about it…"

"Actually, Clem is right, that does make sense...worrying sense." Gabe blurted out. "Those, notes she was getting, the other kidnappings and then the notes sent to her right after that. There was some sort of stalker after her and they must have, must have lured her into a trap and struck."

"But who?" Clem wondered.

The others were silent, as they realized, they had no answer.

After a period of silent concern, Amy noticed something else.

"Is...is something else wrong?" She asked.

They all looked up, confused.

"Huh?" Clem asked.

Amy looked carefully at Clem, then at the others. "You all look as if you've...just had some trouble, something bothering you beside Violet and her disappearance."

"Oh um…" Clem began.

Brody answered at once however. "We just had an encounter with...with Lily."

"Lily?" Amy echoed before realising. "Oh, that woman who was helping Clementine when she had fake her death, she's still around?"

"She is and she's pestering Clem." Becca added.

Sarah grimaced. "Yeah and um, AJ too, she seems to be-"

"Guys, enough." Clem said suddenly, startling them. "She's...she's not important. This isn't the time for that...we need to think and try to help Violet, we have to find her...and the other two."

The others were uneasy about that, but accepted this, wondering if this was the right call. Amy looked around at them all and felt there was more going on here, more than she knew, but she couldn't focus on it, not yet. She had to focus on doing whatever it took to find and save her daughter.

Meanwhile, at the school, despite it being the weekend, Lee walked slowly down one of the corridors, he was actually on his way to leave. He had to return to the school to pick up some things he had accidentally left behind. He was lost in thought, worried.

'And no wonder...After all the drama surrounding Clem's disappearance, her fake death, her return and now all this craziness with the stalker after Violet...the kidnapping of Michelle and Rondi, then Violet's kidnapping.' He reflected sadly.

He had seen how close Clementine had become with Violet, he knew how bad she'd be affected by the disappearance of the girl and wishes there was something he could do to help. That was when he was surprised to find himself outside the door to the officer that once belonged to Carver before he was fired, it was ajar. Lee recalled the man's behaviour and began to wonder. But he felt it was too far-fetched, regardless he entered and began looking around. That was when he noticed something and walked over and picked it up and began to look through it, his eyes widening in horror and quickly hurried to get in contact with the police.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
