Ren and Clementine hug Kenny, he hugs them back as the rest of the group watch in amazed to see their reunite. They separated and Kenny kneel down to Ren and clementine level

Kenny: i miss you two, so much

Clementine: we miss you too

Ren: More than you ever know

Kenny looked at Ren and Clementine group: These people with y'all?

Ren and Clem nod and Kenny stand up: We can talk inside

Man 1: great, i just started dinner

Calos looked at his daughter and sighs: Are you sure you don't mind?

??: We don't mind. Please come in

The group along with Kenny group walked, heading to the door to the ski lounge, A man open the door for Ren and Clementine, their eyes were in amazed to see Christmas tree and lights around the place

Ren thoughts: Oh, Christmas is almost here, so is my birthday

Man: Kenny and Sarita have been staying with us for several weeks after winter showed up. Used to be a ski lodge, obviously, so we have plenty of food. And believe it or not, we still get some power from that wind turbine

They walked a bit as the man talking: We tent to keep most the lights off at night to avoid drawing attention

As he kept talking, Kenya got in front of Ren and Clementine, mocking the guy. Clementine softly giggles and Ren laughs a bit. The man turn around looking at Kenny and the kids

Man: What's funny?

Kenny: Oh nothin. Walt

He got next to Walter: Walter here is one smart son of a bitch. Makes a mean can of beans too

Walter: Well, why don't you two catch up while i get started with the food

Kenny walked first as Ren and Clementine followed, they sat at the couch opposite of the fire.

Kenny: Still wearing this dirty old thing huh? And..

Kenny noticed the Gauntlets: where did you get those Gauntlets, Ren?

Ren: I got them underground. It was from the company that.. Well, kidnapped us ..

Clementine: how did you manage to survive the nuke?

Kenny: After I told Kenny and the ladies to find you two, I ran out but the lights were cut off and the alarm set. I heard people screaming and guns firing. I fight my own way out.... Ya know, i half expected to see lee and other gals walk up next to you two. You guys were little three peas in a pod

Kenny saw Clementine and Ren looked down in sad

Kenny: Oh shit, i didn't mean to... it's just hard not to think about it, you know?

Ren was about to speak but clem spoke up

Clem: I got him killed

Ren and Kenny eyes widen

Kenny: what?

Ren: Clem?

Clem started to tear up: it was my fault, if i hadn't spoken to that person through the walkie talkie. Omid and Lee would be alive and Ren wouldn't have been taken

Ren hugged her from behind: clem.. Its wasn't your fault

Kenny: Aw, darlin, don't say that. I know that ain't true. He made a choice, same as the rest of us. He's one tough son of a bitch

Clementine nods at Kenny

Ren: he sure is.

Ren looked around and saw

A woman walked to Carlos and said: Carlos right? Mind if I steal your daughter for a secret mission?

Kenny: that beautiful woman over there named Sarita, she helped me out from that place before Saravana got nuke.

He sigh: damn ain't i lucky

Clementine: How did she help you?

Kenny: Well, she works for the people who kidnapped us, she saw me fighting for my life. After we got in a safe place, she told me she have a mission to find the weapon and destroy it

Ren eyes widen

Clementine: weapon? What kind of weapon?

Kenny: I think the name was Project Ren. it break out and she still searching for it

Clem looks at Ren and he looked at her, then Ren saw Sarita and others going to the left side, he looked at Kenny: i'm going to help Sarah and others

Kenny: alright bud

Ren smile and stand up, he walked to the stairs but he stop

Ren's thoughts: Kenny's girlfriend knows about me.. How dangerous I am.. Maybe if i could talk to her and say i'm not dangerous... wait.. I shouldn't say that.. Damn it..

He reached up and saw Carlos, Rebecca and Alvin were whispering about something, Ren get close and heard their convection

Alvin: It's been a week, man. We gotta be outta the woods

Carlos: We can't be sure. They might be tracking us

Ren spoke: Do they ninjas? They can do that and lurk in the dark

Carlos: Yes, but they are worse than ninjas Carter

Ren was curious: How dangerous is he?

Carlos looks at Ren: Dangerous than those runners

He looked at Alvin: We can not take any chances. We leave at dawn

Rebecca: But we're safe here for tonight, right?

No one answers but Ren notices the fear from her voice. Carlos looked at Ren and said

Carlos: Ren, can I talk to you?

Ren looked at Carlos: Uh..okay

Carlos walked and Ren follows, they walked downstairs but they stop at the middle of the stairs

Carlos: I realised that kids like yourself have known what out there is, like how we don't

Ren: yeah?

Carlos: so.. I want you to teach sarah about survival

Ren: Wait, why me and not you? You're her father so it's wise for the parent to teach their kid

Carlos: Luke told me what you said at the bridge, you are willingly to teach Sarah so im giving you permission and..

Ren stayed silent

Carlos: if something bad happens to me, i want you to take care of Sarah, she needs Clementine and You around her, Please, do this for me

Ren sigh: Okay.. but im doing this for her, i'll take care of Sarah for you

Carlos: thank you, Ren

Suddenly the lights have shut down and bullets started firing
