Different Setting

Traitors And Tiger Lily Drawings

A few days later, the remaining group were settled back in safely at the motor inn. Even though they were still shaken up about things that happened at the dairy farm, they were slowly but surely managing. And since Kenny and the rest of the group had taken those supplies from the trunk of that car they found in the woods, they were well stocked on food and supplies. However, Carlos, Sarah, Lee, and Clementine didn't want any of those food and supplies.

Other than that though, things were fine between everyone. The kids were getting along great, and even the adults were getting along somewhat. Things were relatively quiet around the motel, and in this day and age, that was a very good thing.

Ben, on the other hand, knew something everyone else didn't: there was a group of bandits spying on the motel. Their leader had cornered him when no one else was looking and told him that they'd had one of his friends in their hostage, and in order to see that friend again, Ben would have to give the bandits a little bit of supplies every day; otherwise, they would kill his friend. Needless to say, Ben didn't feel right about stealing, but he knew that he had to do it.

At the moment, Carlos had just finished checking on Kenny's wound, which didn't appear to be infected. Nearby, Sarah and Duck were sitting on the back of Kenny's truck, talking. Sarah was swinging her legs as she listened to Duck intently.

"So then, after that, me and my mom went to the store and-" Carlos could hear Duck talking all the way on the other side of the lot of the motor inn. He decided that he should go check on his daughter.

"You doing okay, Sarah?" Carlos asked as he approached his daughter and Duck.

"I'm fine, Daddy," she smiled.

"What about you, Duck?" Carlos asked.

"Yup! I'm okay," he replied.

Sarah interrupted, "Oh, Dad, I was talking to Lilly earlier and she said that she wanted to talk to you when you weren't busy. I think she's in her room," she explained. "You should go talk to her, it seemed important."

"I will, sweetie," Carlos said. "Be good, okay?" he told her, and began to head to Lilly's room. He wondered what in the world she had to talk about.

Once he arrived, he knocked on her door knowing that it would probably be rude to barge in. "Lilly? It's Carlos."

A few moments later, the door opened to reveal Lilly, and it was clear that she had been expecting him. "Hey," she greeted.

"Sarah said you wanted to talk to me about something," Carlos told her.

Lilly nodded. "Come on in." She held the door open for him.

He walked inside, and she shut the door behind him. "What's all this about?" he asked, sitting down on the bed. "Sarah said that it sounded important."

"It's not really that important," Lilly replied.

"Okay good," Carlos sighed of relief. "You had me worried there for a minute."

Lilly sighed, "I actually wanted to talk to you about Sarah, if that's okay," she said, hesitantly. "I mean, I know it's not much of my business, but I just wanted to know more about her. She seems like such a sweet girl."

Carlos had to smile a little at that statement, as he agreed wholeheartedly. But he was a bit curious too, as he didn't imagine Lilly being all that interested in kids.

"What is it you would want to know about her?" Carlos inquired. "I can tell you anything."

"Well, she's different," Lilly pointed out. "That's obvious."
