Your POV...

You throw down the pistol you took from the last guy and bashed his head in with and pull your knife free from the third guy's chest. You wipe it off on his clothes and place it back in its home on your waist. They were here to find out what happened to the patrol that Marina was attacked by. You were doing a sweep around to make sure there wasn't anyone else nearby when you ran into them. Then you listened to what they had to say on the radio. When you heard Clementine and Marina's names, you took action. Before you did, you heard all the other patrols on the frequency saying they were on their way. You don't have long now, you have to go.

You start jogging back to town. It isn't far. Clementine and Marina are still safe, loading the supplies into the back of the car. They do seem wary. Probably because there was a gunshot or two. Clem spots you first and then says something to Marina. The look of relief on both of them makes you feel better. It wasn't something else that had them worried.

You: Hey, are you guys almost done?

You slow down until you're just walking when you get close to the car.

Clem: Almost.

You: How much is left?

Clem: A few bags.

You: Alright, Clementine, get the car started.

Clem: Why?

You: We only have a few minutes. They know we're here.

Clem: Ok.

She hurries into the car, and it starts up a few seconds later. Marina comes out of the house with two massive bags over her shoulders.

You: How many are left?

Marina: Four.

You: Ok, get in the car. I'll grab them.

Marina: Be quick.

You find the four bags near the door, one of them you're sure has some weapons in it. You're right. You go ahead and open it to grab a pistol for when you inevitably need it. You set it aside while you get the bags positioned on your shoulders and then scoop it up when you've done it.

You walk out of the house, moving fast. Marina hasn't gotten in the car yet; she's waiting behind the car to help you load the bags in. She grabs the first bag, and you hear the drone of an approaching vehicle.

You: Marina, just grab them and throw them in.

She does what you tell her, and by the time she's done, the car comes into view.

You: In the car, now.

You point and shoot a shot at the car to warn them mostly. Not that it affects whether they'll come at you or not. They're actually driving straight at you. You jump in the passenger seat, and Clementine starts to go.

Clem: We're so low on fuel.

You: Just get away from them, and then we can go on foot.

Clem: No, I'm just going to let them follow us forever.

Marina: There's another in front of us!

Clem: I see them.

A few seconds later, a vehicle smashes into your side of the car, sending yours into a roll. It doesn't stop until you hit a tree. It's not a gentle stop either. Now you're hanging from the ceiling by your seatbelt.

You: You two alright?

Clem: Gonna hurt in the morning.

Marina: Yeah.
