Lee's POV:

We were walking through the streets of Savannah, Clementine ran up to me and looked at her walkie-talkie.

Clementine: Can't I just hold it?

I looked down at her then forward again.

Clementine: Just for a little while? We're getting real close to where my mom and dad are, maybe I can-

Me: Not now, I need you to focus. Keep your attention on the street.

Clem: Okay. Sorry.

I than look at Christa.

Me: How's Omid?

Christa: His leg's pretty bad.

Omid: I'm fine.

Christa: You're not fine, you need to rest. (looks at me) He needs to rest.

Me: Kenny, how much farther to the river front?

Kenny: Should be just a few more blocks up ahead.

Christa: And there'll be boats there?

Me: There sure as hell better be.

Kenny: There'll be boats. Have to be. Have to be.

Ben: It's going to be okay. Kenny knows what he's doing.

Y/N: If you say so Ben.

Than we heard a bell go off.

Ben: What the hell...?

I look over and see the church's bell tower going off.

Christa: Maybe this city's not so dead after all...

Kenny: Keep moving. No-one's ringing that bell, it's automatic, on a timer.

I check my watch.

Me: What kind of church bell goes off at twenty past the hour?

Everyone than starts to think about it as I look at the church bell again only to see someone quickly jump out of view.

Me: Someone's up there.

Ben: Are you sure? I don't see anything.

Me: I know what I saw. I'm telling you, there's someone up in that bell tower! Someone alive!

The walkie-talkie than turns on.

Stranger: If I were you, I'd get out of the street. Now.

It turns back off as I take it out.

Christa: I thought you said that thing didn't work!

I turn it back on.

Me: Hello?

No response, just static.

Me: Hello? Are you there?!

Y/N: Who was that?

We all look around.

Omid: What the hell was that? Is someone trying to fuck with us?

Ben: Sounded more like a warning.

Chuck looks behind us.

Chuck: Ask not for whom the bell tolls...

Kenny: What're you yammerin' on about?

We all turn around.

Chuck: It tolls for thee...

We than see a lot of walkers approaching us.
