Lee finally got to the bottom of the ladder, and he was safe from the walkers for now. Now he just had to find a way to maneuver out of these sewers to get back to Clementine, and the rest of the group. Hopefully it wouldn't be too much of a hard task.
"Clementine, can you hear me?" he called out, but received no answer. They had probably already gone. "If you can hear me, just get back to the house, okay?" he yelled out once more.
Finally, he decided he better start moving if he wanted to reach the rest of the group in time. The sewers seemed practically empty as he walked, and everything looked the same. Lee thought that he'd probably end up getting lost or something like that, and he didn't want that to happen, because Clementine would worry about him.
After a few minutes, Lee could hear what sounded like the growling of walkers, and this was confirmed when he walked over and saw at least five of them devouring a dead body. Far from him was another walker, blocking his only exit.
"That could be the way out, but there's no way I could take out all those things by myself," Lee observed.
He entered the nearest passage to hide, and noticed a loose drainage pipe. Just for good measure, he turned it to the right, causing a small waterfall to pass through on his right. A walker meandered dumbly over to it, clawing at it as if it were alive.
"Good thing I'm out here and not in there," Lee said. He turned and noticed a walker standing outside of his exit. "Shit."
He turned to leave, noticing another passageway that was close. To open it, he used the ice pick that Molly had given him.
The door opened with ease, and he crawled out of it. Outside of the passage, he noticed another drainage pipe, and turned it once more, causing water to flow out of a grate. The noise from the water was enough to draw all the walkers away from the exit, and Lee took this as his chance to get the hell out of the sewers.
He crawled back through the passage, and this time, he was able to make it all the way through. Once he was in the clear, he began making his way to the exit, but stopped, when the dead body caught his attention. "Oh my God...Chuck..." He saw the body. "He must have tried to hide out down here, the poor bastard."
Lee then picked up the gun near his body, and checked it. "No bullets...must have used the last one on himself." He then looked back up to Chuck's dead body. "You deserved better, old man."
Meanwhile, Kenny, Clementine, and Molly had finally arrived back at the house.
Ben was the first one to see them, having been told to watch out for anything or anyone that entered the house. He looked at them and frowned, knowing that some people wouldn't be happy to see another new face.
"Where's Lee?" he inquired first.
"We had some trouble along the way," Kenny explained. "Clem and I were boosted to safety, but Lee got out a different way, under a sewer." Molly cleared her throat, and Kenny side-glared at her. "This here's Molly, this was who rang that bell this morning."
"You're welcome, by the way, for saving your asses," Molly chided. "You wouldn't have made it back here if it weren't for me."
Kenny ignored her and walked over to the large kitchen, rummaging through the drawers until he came in contact with a wine bottle. He gave a bitter smile at his stroke of luck. "Thank God."
He took the drink to the living room and sat down on the other side of the couch from Sarah, who was in there reading some book she had found. The young teen wondered where he had found that, but decided that it was best not to ask.
"Hey there," Kenny gave a glum greeting.
"Hi," Sarah awkwardly replied.
She noticed Molly walking around the dining room. "Who's that lady?" she asked Ben, who took a seat in the armchair closer to Kenny.
