The Walking Dead Game Season 1: What If?

Chapter 12: Home Not-So-Sweet Home

Mark and I ran towards the house where Andy was standing.

"Holy shit!" He yelled. "What happened?"

"I thought this place was was safe, Andy? There was a goddamn ambush!" I scolded.

"Fucking bandits!" Andy yelled. "They got no business being out here!"

Danny and Brenda rushed out of the house.

"Jesus!" Danny yelled.

"Oh my Lord!" Brenda yelled. "What happened?"

"It's those bastards in the woods, mama!" Andy told her. "They shot him!"

As this was happening, I saw the rest of the group making their way towards the house.

"What the hell!" Bryan shouted. "Lee! What happened?"

"He got shot with an arrow!" I said.

"Is he gonna be okay?" Lilly asked.

"I'm... fine," Mark said groggily. "I should just... pull it out."

Brenda hurried over to him.

"Oh no, sweetie!" Brenda said, helping him walk towards the house. "You come inside the house. We'll take good care of you!"

"What the hell is going on here?" Larry asked.

"There were these guys the forest," I explained. "They attacked Mark and I out of nowhere!"

"They've given is some problems in the past," Andy said. "They killed a bunch of our farmhands. We were able to make them stop by making a deal."

"Wait, you know about these people?" Kenny said, slightly pissed off.

"Food for protection," Danny said. "It's not like we had much of a choice but they did stop hassling us!"

"God damn it," Larry scolded. "Carley said this place was locked down tight!"

"I guess it's not as safe here as we thought," I said, looking directly at the brothers.

"Listen, we will not let those sons of bitches get away with this!" Andy said. "We will not stand for this shit."

"Do you know where these people are?" Bryan asked.

"They're hard to find," Danny said. "But I do know where one of their camps are. Lee, come find me if you wanna scope it out."

Andy and Danny walked back to their house to check on their mom and Mark.

"Bandits? Seriously? This place is not safe we can't stay here!" Lilly said.

"Yeah dad," Michael said. "This place is giving me weird vibes."

He was holding Clementine's hand. She seemed scared as well.

"Calm down, Clem," Michael said to her. "It's gonna be okay."

"Wait, what?" Kenny said. "Not safe? It's a hell of a lot safer than that motor inn! I think all of us and our guns can handle a couple of punks with bows and arrows! We need to find a way to get our whole group here. Maybe take this place over if we have to."

"Cool your jets there, Rambo!" Larry said. "These are nice people. We don't need to do anything to get thrown out before dinner!"

"Where's Carley and the others?" I asked.

"She volunteered to stay and keep watch at the motor inn with Ben and Travis," Lilly said.

"Well, I'm gonna go scope this place out with Danny," I told the group. "Maybe you guys should try to make friends with Andy and Brenda while I'm gone."
