Cry has started talking to Ken, and I take this time to go to Lee. I didn't want him to start a search for his brother or something, while I knew that the guy wasn't there anymore. Lee deserved to know what fate his brother had met. 

"Lee," I say, grabbing his attention, and for a moment I regret my decision of telling him now. Everything in his stance tells me that he is ultimately sad, or just very shocked. He is looking at me expectingly, and I know that I can't back out now. 

"I've got the keys to the pharmacy," I say and a small smile grows on his face. "I found them on a corpse. I'm pretty sure that it was your brother." 

His eyes widen immediately, before he looks down at the ground. "Did you kill him?" He asks. "I mean, did you kill that... What did you call them again? Zombie." 

"Yes, I did." I reply, returning the axe to him. He takes it and straps in on this belt. "Let's tell Lilly and Larry the good news of the keys, shall we?" 

Lee and I walk towards Lilly and Larry, and I share the news once again. "I've got the keys." 

"Great!" Lilly says as she stands up. "God, you're amazing. Let's get in there." The three of us walk into the back room, before Lee opens the room to the pharmacy. 

He walks in, and I jump a little as a loud alarm goes off. Lilly and I share a quick look of horror. "Ah shit." Lee curses angrily. 

"We gotta hurry." Lilly exclaims and all three of us take a different aisle, trying to get as much medication as we can. I manage to grab some random bottles and boxes, before we hear shouting coming from the others. 

We decide to run back and help. Kenny has taken it upon himself to guide everyone around. "Honey, take Duck into the office and barricade the living hell out of the door behind me. Glenn, when you hear me honking in the alley, start getting people out of here. Doug, Carley, Cry and Leah, you make sure our defenses stay up 'till then." 

"And Lee," He continues. "I better take that axe in case I run into any of them on the way to my truck." 

"Guys, that door isn't locked anymore..." Doug tells us as we hear the gates open outside. 

"You four get on it," Kenny shouts while making his way to the exit. "I'll get back as fast as I can." He dissapears with the axe, and immediately Cry, Doug, Carley and I are leaning against the door, trying our best to keep it shut. 

"Hey Leah," Doug starts. "If we don't make it through this... You should know that I think you're a great girl." He seems to be on the verge of tears, and I don't know if it is out of fear or the thought of losing someone here today. 

"We will make it through this." Cry says, pushing his back against the door with all the force he can find. 

"Doug," Carley starts before I can answer the man. "If we don't make it through this, you should know-"

Before she can finish the zombies have banged against the door so hard that I'm pushed forward. The doors have opened a little, and two zombies try to claw their way towards us. Cry pushes both hand on one door, and I take the other as we try our best to close the doors again. 

We manage, and Doug and Cerley continue their talk. "I should know what?" Doug asks. 

"Huh?" 

"You said I should know-" 

Once again the conversation is stopped when the living dead have found another way inside. Carley leaves the door, and grabs her gun, shooting the entering zombies as fast as she can. 

She runs closer to them, and Clementine comes into my vision. "Clementine, can you look for something to stick in between the handles?" I ask. 

"Something real strong, okay?" Cry adds. Clementine nods, trying to think about something that could help us. "Clem, just search, okay. You'll find something!" Cry continues and Clementine runs away.
