Different Setting

Firefight

Lee continued his investigation, now wanting to find about the scuff of pink chalk that he had just found. Since he noticed Clementine coloring nearby, he decided to go back over to her.

"Hey Clem, do you have any pink chalk?" Lee asked, kneeling down beside her.

"No, it's gone somewhere," Clementine responded with a frown.

"Hmm." Lee made a note of what she said. If it wasn't Clem, then who else could it have been?

"Do you want blue?" Clem asked happily, hoping that he would play with her.

"No, no, it's okay," Lee answered. However, he had to admit that it was pretty cute of her to say that.

"Psst, Lee!" a new voice chimed in, and Lee turned around to notice Duck beckoning him over. He frowned, but he went over to the little boy anyway.

"I found something!" Duck declared.

"What is it?"

Duck pulled something very familiar out of his pocket. "I found this piece of pink chalk and a scuff of it over by the front gate!"

"Really?" Lee asked.

"Totally!" Duck exclaimed, "I was combing the scene for clues and-"

"Yeah Duck, I got it. Good job," Lee interrupted, and began making his way to the gate of the motor inn. He was surprised in the little boy's abilities. Duck run in front of Lee though, and proceeded to hold up his hand for a high five. Lee humored him, and high-fived him in return.

"Cool!" Duck yelled.

Lee saw the scuff though, and decided to follow it outside the gate. He pushed the makeshift doors open, and headed outside the walls. "You stay here, Duck," Lee warned.

"Okay," Duck shrugged.

Once Lee was sure that Duck was staying put, he moved the dumpsters aside and was now just outside of the motel. He decided to turn left and walked down the path a little ways, until he came across sight of a grate. He saw something inside, and decided to take a look.

Lee removed the grate's cover and got a peek inside. There was a brown paper bag full of something, and much to his surprise when he opened it, he saw that there was a bunch of medicine inside, including some of Larry's nitroglycerin pills.

"Son of a bitch..." Lee muttered. He now knew that Lilly was right about there being a traitor, and quickly made his way back to her room.

Lilly was sitting on her bed, still looking stressed, when she noticed him. "You haven't come up with anything, have you?"

"I came up with this," Lee replied, handing over the bag, which she opened. "It's got a bunch of meds in it. It was in a grate on the outside wall and there's a sign on the other one."

"Holy fuck," Lilly glared at nothing in particular.

"Yeah."

"Okay, we line everybody up. Everybody," Lilly ordered. "Somebody is killing us. Stealing from that supply is the same as slipping into your room at night and cutting your throat while you sleep. You die. What is the difference? What if Clementine or Sarah gets sick and we don't have what we need? Or my dad's..." She looked out the window, and her eyes widened. "What the hell?!"

She stood up to look out the window.

"YOU DON'T FUCKING STEAL FROM US!" a man's voice was heard from outside Lilly's room.

"Who the fuck is that!?" Lee asked. "They've got our people out there!" he exclaimed. And he was right. There were men in masks holding the rest of the group hostage. Sarah could be seen crying and trying to reach for her father. "What do we do?" Lee asked, looking over at Lilly with frantic eyes.
