Lee looked around the classroom looking at all the stuff Crawford had. "Looks like they had quite a system here." Lee thought to himself as he looked at pamphlets on a desk. Lee then walked over to Ben who was trying to get the armory door unlocked. "Hey, do you need any help with that?"

"Thanks, I got it. Just once I'd like to do something useful, you know?" Ben replied, standing up. "That'd make a nice change of pace." Lee replied. "Wow," Ben sarcastically said, "no need to agree with me quite so much. Thanks for the vote of confidence." "Well... I'll let you get on with it." Lee shrugged, walking away from Ben.

"No, wait." Ben called out, making Lee stop in his place. "There is something you can help me with. Something that's been on my mind, I could use your opinion." Lee stared curiously, "What is it?"

"It's Kenny." Ben said, crossing his arms, "Since I've been helping him work on the boat, I've gotten to know him a little better. He's a good guy, you know? And so is Y/N but knowing what I know... I've been thinking about telling them-" "Ben, c'mon. This again?" Lee sighed.

"It's my fault Duck and Katjaa got killed. If I hadn't screwed up back at the Motor Inn, they'd still be alive. How am I supposed to just carry something like that around? I have to tell them." Ben said, staring at Lee.

"Ben. No offense, but have you lost your motherf*cking mind? Kenny's barely hanging on, you tell him you're to blame... I don't even want to think what he might do and Y/N... she's just a child." Ben looked down for a second, before looking at Lee, "I know. I 've thought about that. But I don't know how much longer I can keep looking them in the eye. I feel like I'm lying to them by not telling them."

Lee frowned, "I'm telling you, man, it's a bad idea. Real, real bad." "Hey, maybe you're okay walking around with somebody's blood on your hands but that's not who I am! I can't just pretend it never happened." Ben angrily said, glaring at Lee.

Lee stared at Ben with narrowed eyes before saying, "Look, we need Kenny. We need him to hold his sh*t together if we're ever going to get out of here, so you need to keep this to yourself. For the good of everyone. You hear me?" Lee said, making Ben look down.

You stared at Lee from afar and nudged Clem gently with your elbow. "I wonder what they're talking about over there. Ben seems really upset about something." Clem hummed and shrugged.

Lee and Ben stared at each other for a solid minute before Ben looked away, "I hear you. I'm gonna get back to this." Lee let out a sigh and walked away, leaving the classroom. Lee walked down the dark school hallway looking at a few posters stuck to some of the lockers.

Lee turned a corner and saw Molly standing there. "The alleyway to the auto shop's down here. You coming or not?" Molly said, as Lee walked down the hall. Lee turned another corner and saw Christa and Vernon standing there outside the nurses office.

"You guys need any help?" Lee asked, making Vernon turn to him. "Thanks, but I think we're almost in." Vernon replied. Christa smiled a little, "We're taking care of it, Lee. Don't worry." Lee then walked away towards Molly.

"This must be the door to the alleyway where the auto shop is. But where the h*ll is Molly?" Lee mumbled, and went out the exit door that led to the alleyway. Lee walked down the stairs and called out quietly, "Molly? You out here?" Lee looked back and saw walkers walking down the street. "Guess I'm not going that way." Lee mumbled.

Lee looked at the side of the building next to him and read what was painted on it. 'Authorized Motor Pool workers ONLY . "Auto shop must be down this way." Lee mumbled. Lee then walked into a small little building and looked around. Lee looked up, spotting a hole in the ceiling.
