We crawled through the sewer to Vernon's hideout. Lee kicked the door open. There was no one. "Did they leave?" I asked.
"Looks like they got out of here in a hurry." Kenny said. Lee walked into the morgue. "Vernon! Get out here! There doesn't have to be any trouble here, all I want is the girl! Give her back and nobody needs to get hurt!"
No response. Lee sighed in defeat. "Lee?" We heard from the walkie-talkie. Lee grabbed it in an instant. "Clementine! Are you alright? Where are you?" He asked. "Vernon, you son of a bitch."
"Hello, Lee." We heard. If it was Vernon, something happened because he sounds a little deeper. "Who is this?" Lee asked with a venomous tone.
"Its not Vernon, if thats what you're thinking. And you should really watch your tone." Not-Vernon said. "Clementine's fine. But if i were you, i'd choose my next words VERY carefully." He told Lee. Lee didn't hesitate. "You're fucking DEAD. I don't know who you are, but I will kill you, do you understand?" Lee shouted at him.
"I know you will. She knows you will." He said. He hung up the walkie. "...Fuck." Lee muttered. He put the walkie on his waist.
"Don't worry, pal, we'll get her back." Kenny told him.
"Maybe he's not actually so bad..." Ben said, nervously.
"Don't get me fucking STARTED on you and good intentions!" Kenny spat at Ben. We looked at Lee. I focused on his wrist. It looks like the bite might get worse. "How's that feeling?" Christa asked.
"Fine. Don't worry about it." Lee told us.
"It wasn't a full bite." Omid mentioned.
"We don't have much time." Christa said. We heard walkers coming through.
"We're about to have a lot less." Kenny said. He ran to close the door. "You're still the smartest fucker outta all us. Try to find another way out of here."
Lee nodded. He then looked at me. "You can help them." He gave me another gun he had.
AKA Vernon's gun.
I nodded. I took the handgun and faced the door. After a while, Lee called over to us. "I'll have these doors open in two seconds." As he was at the elevator. After a few seconds, we heard Lee fell. The 5 of us ran to him. "Shit. Is he alive?" Kenny asked.
"This is bad." Omid said.
"Fuuuck!" Kenny yelled.
"Help me movie him!" Christa said. We moved him to the table. "What do we do?" I asked. I looked at some surgical supplies. Kenny looked at them too. "We gotta take his arm off." Kenny said.
"What?" Christa exclaimed.
"We cut his arm off, if he survives the amputation, he might live." Kenny explained.
"It...could work, if the walker...venom...hasn't spread." I said. Omid rolled up Lee's sleeve and tied something around Lee's arm. Kenny prepared Lee's arm and readied a surgery saw. "Okay. This has to be done. Sorry pal." Kenny said.
"I'm awake!!!" Lee said.
"Stop! He's awake!" Christa told Kenny.
"He's still bitten! This is about trying to save him!" Kenny said.
"But, Kenny..."
"Y/n, just..." Kenny interrupted. "FUCK. I'm not going to let him die."
"Is there gonna be a lot of blood?" Ben asked.
"There's gonna be a shitload of blood." Christa said.
"Hey, I'm right here." Lee said.
"Sorry, pal." Kenny said. He put the saw down.
"We think if we take off the arm, you'll survive." I told him.
"What do you think?" Kenny asked. Lee looked at his hand. "Fuck it. Cut it off." Lee said.

Lee's POV...
This is going to hurt.

Y/n's POV...
Christa grabbed the saw and Lee put his arm on the table. "Fast would be good. Look, if I don't make it- AHHH!" Lee shouted as Christa started cutting Lee's arm off. "JUST TRY TO STAY STILL!"
"AHRHRAHHH! GRRRRAHHHH!" Lee screamed!
"Fuckin' fuck!" Christa exclaimed as she cut through. "Gotta tighten the tourniquet!"
As Lee screamed, I felt sick. But I knew in this world, me and Clem will have to grow up quick. So I kept watching as Christa cut deeper in Lee's arm. Lee passed out as Christa fully cut Lee's arm off. The limp arm from under the elbow down fell into the pool of blood on the floor. Kenny grabbed some bandages and wrapped them around Lee's recently chopped arm.

"Ugh...ow...holy shit..." Lee groaned when he finally woke.
"Oh Christ. We were worried we lost you." Kenny said.
"Holy crap, Lee!" I said.
"Think you'll be able to move?" Christa asked. Lee nodded. "Great. The elevator's open." Christa added.
"I'll take the rear. Don't wanna bleed on anyone." Lee said with a smile.
"Thanks..." I said.

We went in the obviously broken elevator and saw a ladder. We started climbing up to get to hopefully the roof. A walker fell about halfway up. "Oh man. Oh jeez." Ben panicked.
"Shut the fuck up, Ben!" Kenny told him.
"Everything okay up there?" Lee asked.
"I think I just peed myself." Ben said.
"So yes then."
"Yeah, just perfect." I said. We continued climbing.
