We Continue On

Attacked Again

Kenny carried a box, and so did Nick as they walked back to the truck with Omid trailing behind with Genevieve in tow. Of course, they'd come back for the other boxes when they regrouped with the others, but for now, they wanted to grab what they could in case somehow, they wouldn't be able to go back for the rest. It was a lucky break, finding all those supplies, especially after everything their group had been through.

They trudged through the snow, until the truck came into view. It seemed as though Lee and Clementine were already there waiting with a few supplies of their own. Clementine gave a small wave, and Omid waved back as they got closer.

"Find anything?" she asked, looking with careful eyes.

Kenny sat down the box he was carrying. "Hell yeah we did. And a lot."

"Clem and I found a few things," Lee replied.

"There's more," Nick commented as he sat his box down beside Kenny's. "Enough to last us the whole winter, baby food and all."

"Really?" Lee inquired.

It was Omid who nodded this time. "Yeah, Lee, we have to go back and get it."

Kenny was about to reply, until they all heard AJ get fussy again in Lee's arms. He sighed, showing his protective nature over the baby.

"Alright, alright. Some of us can go back and get the baby's food, and then we head out. Stayin' for this long is a damn death trap."

"He's right," Lee agreed. "The town's quiet now, but that could change. We should go soon, before we capture any unnecessary attention."

Before they could send a few people out, Clementine pointed out Carlos, Lilly, and Sarah coming back from the small neighborhood. They had some items, too, but they clearly hadn't been as lucky as the others.

"Hey, what'd you find?" Nick inquired.

"We only found blankets for Alvin Junior and Genevieve, and some medicine," Carlos answered.

"We were able to find a lot, including baby food," Omid replied with a small smile.

Lilly nodded in approval. "Good. We should go, before walkers find out we're here."

"Okay, so who's going back?" Kenny asked.

"I'll go," Nick volunteered.

"Me too," Lilly said.

Kenny nodded, and looked back towards Lee and other others. "We'll be back soon. Until then, keep an eye out," he warned.

Lee nodded as he rocked the baby in his arms, "You got it, hurry back," he said and watched the three of them walk back in the direction they came in. Hopefully they wouldn't be gone long, because splitting up never proved to be a good thing, at least, not from the experiences that they had all had.

"Hey Lee, you mind giving me one of those blankets you and Clem found?" Omid asked, pulling Lee out of his thoughts. "It's getting pretty cold out here and Genevieve is starting to shiver," he added, and he was right. The temperature was dropping with each minute they were just standing here. They needed to get on the move fast, or at least find some shelter.

"Here." Clem gave him one of the blankets.

"The babies are probably hungry, too," Sarah mentioned.

Carlos nodded. "She's right, they haven't had food all day."

"Well I guess we could feed them while we wait for the others," Lee said, going to open up one of the boxes that Nick and Kenny had brought back.

AJ immediately quieted down upon being fed, which was a good thing. It didn't seem like his crying had attracted any walkers, because the part of the town they were in was still empty.
