LUKE: North, in just a few weeks... we head north
Dutch and Troy nodded in acknowledgment. Luke then turned to see Bill leaning against the wall, staring through the window as the snow fell outside...
LUKE: Bill? Any thoughts...?
BILL: ...
- Flashback -
LUKE: The hell happened over here!? Shawn? Bill?
Dakota's eye widened
DUTCH: We heard the gunshots, were you atta...
DETROIT: DAKOTA!?
Dutch's question would be interrupted as Detroit spotted Dakota's lifeless form on the ground. Running over and dropping to his knees, Detroit cradled his older brother's head in his arms...
LUKE: W-What the fuck happened!? Bill!
Shawn watched as Bill stood, and in a low tone, he spoke
BILL: ...It was me... I killed him.
Detroit's eyes widened at the revelation. Shawn was about to open his mouth to speak, he was the one who killed Dakota, not Bill, this was on him. Before the boy could say anything, his eyes met with Bill who shook his head
DUTCH: Fuck...
Luke was taken aback by the cold, almost unfeeling tone in Bill's voice as he admitted to killing one of their own. And if things weren't complicated enough already...
REBECCA: Is everything okay?
CARLOS: Those were gunshots... Should we be concerned?
Bill grimaced as the rest of the group emerged from their tents and made their way toward where the shots were fired. Troy could feel the tension and turned to settle everyone down. As Troy tried explaining, Detroit shook his head, anger building as he heard Luke speak...
TROY: Hey, hey, hey...it's fine, people. Now, just head back to bed, and we'll get this all sorted out
SHEL: Go back to sleep? Shots were fired in the middle of the night. Walkers could have heard that from miles. I think we're owed an explanation...
BECCA: Sis, it's not that big of a deal
Detroit lay his brother's body to the ground gently as he stood. His eyes now landing firmly on Bill as the man spoke...
BILL: You want an explanation? Well, for starters... Dakota is dead
The group fell silent, shocked, and horror evident on their faces. Bill then tapped his chest for emphasis as he continued
BILL: ... And I'm the one who killed him
Having heard enough, Detroit rushed Bill, intent on beating the man to death with his own bare hands. Unfortunately for Detroit however, his outburst was quickly intercepted by Dutch who restrained him and held him back...
