If Lee Survived

Chapter 26: Friend or Foe

Clem

" You've got to be fuckin kidding me!" Kenny exclaimed as he and Lee stood in front of the truck.

" Well, Well. What a surprise." The man spoke as he stepped around the Truck and towards Lee and Kenny.

Kenny held his gun up and glared. " Go ahead and get back in that truck. You ain't welcome here " He spat. Lee placed his hand on top of Kenny's gun, slowly making him lower it.

He turned his attention to the man in front of him and sighed. " Arvo... What are you doing here?" Lee asked calmly.

Arvo smiled and glanced between Kenny and Lee. " It's nice to see you two again. Alive and breathing." He chuckled.

" Wish we could say the same about you, considering you, Mike and Bonnie tried to leave us all for dead and with a newborn." I spoke taking a step forward.

Arvo turned to look at me, his smile widened into a grin as we made eye contact. " Clementine. You're all grown up." He chuckled causing Gabe to pull the slider back on his gun with a warning look.

" And you've got a boyfriend." Arvo smirked.

" Does that matter? What do you want? Did you come to attack us again? Take all our supplies and food?  I'd suggest you do as Kenny said and get back in your truck. Take your group somewhere else." I spat angrily.

" Clem.." Lee warned.

" No, Dad. This asshole betrayed us! We could have let Kenny kill him but instead we let him live, we helped Bonnie and Mike escape Carver and they all betrayed us. If I didn't overhear their plan, we all could have died. AJ could have died." I glared.

" But instead I ended up shot in the leg, ." Arvo spoke.

" He should have aimed for the head. If we're being honest." I shrugged nonchalantly. Gabe chuckled from behind me earning a glare from Arvo.

" Regardless of what any of us did in the past, we're all after the same thing. We're running low on supplies and food." He sighed looking from me to Lee.

Kenny chuckled shaking his head. " You think we're stupid don't ya? You don't think we noticed you followin' us here?"

" That was months ago... If you needed help, why didn't you come then? Sounds like you had other plans in mind." Lee added looking past him at the truck.

" We've been scoping out the place, just trying to make sure it was safe for our group. I know we aren't friends, but we're all after the same thing, safety." Arvo replied.

" Look, we are not here to cause problems. We just need food, and safety."  A girl from Arvo's group spoke shaking her head.

I looked at her with a glare. " You weren't even there. Do me a favor and stay the fuck out of it."  I spat.

" Now, Clem. She's right. We really aren't here to start any problems. " Arvo intervened causing me to roll my eyes not believing a word that came out of his mouth.

David looked at Lee raising an eyebrow. " You think he's being honest? You know him better than we do." He asked.

" I'm not sure. He could be after our supplies again." Lee replied.

David nodded and pulled his gun out aiming it at Arvo. " Let this be a warning, If we let you in, and you try anything, I won't aim for your foot. Understood. We don't have time for traitors." He warned.
