The Broken But Strong

Home Is Where You Make It

(Violet's Pov)

It was morning when I woke up. We had been at the Motor Inn for a week now and I have been working a lot. Well as much work as we could do at a Motor Inn in the middle of Georgia, which wasn't much but we found something to do while we rested up before we head to Clementine's old home. I leave the room and I head outside as I hear some arguing and I come over to see what the issue was all about. Turns out they were just arguing on where we will go to next once we got to Clementine's.

"Well I say we head to Texas, it's close to Mexico, and with how things go we could head there." Louis suggests.

"As good as that sounds we don't know how things are in Mexico, it can be worse there than here." Marlon argued back and I lean on the truck a bit as I looked to the maps.

"Well it's better than saying we should go to Canada." Louis says and I smile a bit.

"Hell we could go to Alaska." I suggest.

"Now that's dumb too." Louis says and I roll my eyes.

"I don't see why not, I'd rather not die of heat and bad rotting corps smell hell I don't know if it even snows in Mexico." I tell him.

"Better than crossing to a country-... wait... damn it." He mutters and I laugh a bit.

"Well, we'll just have to see what everyone else thinks, for all we know they could be having a war down there too like we are here." I tell him and he looked to me a bit and I shrugged. Clementine then comes over and I look to her and smile a bit.

"Clem, Mexico or Canada?" I asked.

"And why are you asking me this?" She asked as she looked to the maps.

"Louis thinks we should head to Mexico, Marlon wants Canada, and I suggested Alaska but we know that's possibly a no go." I explained to her and she thinks a bit.

"Well I don't want to smell rotting corpses more than I should, so Mexico is out, Canada does seem like a good idea, and Alaska depending on where we are, we'd have snow almost six months out of the year... so right now, Georgia or out west." She says and I nod.

"Alright, We got here and out west, we'll see what the others decided after breakfast." I tell them as I get off the truck and look to the maps again.

"You know I remember before the radio went out they talked about CDC buildings being made in almost every state for a quick meeting... hey maybe we should go to the old Military base." Marlon mentions and I think.

"They could have many supplies left over if a bunch of people didn't take over the bases... actually in these type of settings Military Bases and Hospitals were the worst places to go to in these situations, or any settings." I explained and Clementine laughed a bit as she shoved me and I smile at her.

"I guess those books paid off huh?" She asked and I smiled a little more.

"But it wouldn't hurt to check it out?" I asked and she nods.

"Wouldn't hurt to check it out, heck maybe we can steal a tank while we're at it." She says.

"You being sarcastic?" I asked.

"A little, but honestly we should check it out just to see what they have." She says and I nod and I look to the others as we agreed. We talked to the others and said we could check out the Military base and that we can plan on where we were to head if things don't turn out well when we get to Clementine's old home. Clementine and I go and grab our bags and AJ comes with us as well and we head on to the base nearby. As we walked to the entrance of the base, we got a good look at the overgrown vines taking over the walls and even the booths at the entrance. We kept walking and I look around to see homes.
