When we last left off Jett heard Clementine screaming and now he is on a mad dash to save his only friend.

Jett: CLEMENTINE! IM COMING!

Jett had made it to her backyard where he heard her screaming and what he saw sent chills down his spine. It looked like.... a corpse that was chasing Clementine.

Clementine: Jett! Please help!

Jett didn't know what to do he was still in a full-out sprint from when he first heard her scream having only seconds to decide what to do as the corpse grabbed Clementine's hand.

Clementine: NO! LET GO!

Jett's mind raced as he quickly approached the walking corpse, all of a sudden he remembered watching football with his dad he remembered how those big strong guys were able to bring other grown men to the ground. Without hesitation, Jett threw his entire body weight into this walking corpse knocking it to the ground as the corpse's grasp on Clementine was let go.

Jett: Are you ok?

Clementine: Yeah I'm fine bu- Look behind you!

Jett turned around and saw the corpse slowly rise back to its feet.

Clementine: Follow me!

Jett: Where?!

Clementine: We can go up to my treehouse where it is safe and she can't get us!

Jett: Good idea!

They both rushed into the treehouse and were able to climb up into safety as the corpse just stood around at the bottom. They both took a deep breath as Jett noticed it looked like Clementine was starting to cry.

Jett: What's wrong?

Clementine: That person that was chasing me.... that was my babysitter. I don't know what happened one minute we were drawing pictures together and then the next minute she started making weird sounds and chasing me. I told her to stop and that she was scaring me but she just kept getting closer, I screamed and that's when you showed up.

Clementine put her hand on top of Jett's hand and looked him in the eyes.

Clementine: Thank you for saving me.

Jett's face grows red and flustered as he looks away

Jett: No problem I was just helping a friend.

Clementine Looks down the treehouse ladder to see her babysitter shambling around the backyard.

Clementine: What do we do now?

Jett: I guess all we can do is wait now. I'm sure that someone is coming to save us soon.

Clementine: Yea your right.

Day falls to night as no one has come to rescue them yet.

Clementine: Why hasn't anyone come to save us yet?

Jett: I-I don't know

Clementine: I'm getting hungry

Jett pulls out a half-eaten candy bar out of his pocket that his babysitter had given him.

Jett: Here Clementine you can have this.

Clementine looks at him and smiles

Clementine: Thank you. And you can call me Clem.

Jett smiles back. Clementine eats the candy bar and they fall asleep in the tree house.
