You've decided for them to take the easy way. Instead of protesting, they obeyed the man and went to quarantine. The man will remember this
—•—
"Okay... we'll go."
"Good"
The man had a name: Moose. Moose led the group of three to quarantine where the people leading there would deal with them.

"Okay, I'm going to ask you to put all your weapons in this bin over there" a short woman shrieked. Clementine hesitated to do so but eventually gave it in. "I'll check all of you for bites". The lady lifted Clementines sleeve revealing a new frontier mark causing Lisa to gasp a bit while the lady smirked at both of them. "Why the hell are we even here? If I were bitten you would see blood" Clementine muttered to her self - annoyed. Lisa shot a glare towards Clementine while the woman also checked her.
They were eventually done. "You're gonna have to be in the cell rooms since ya' kinda broke a rule" the woman said in a highly annoying snobbish voice, leading them to the cells. She threw the two teens but kept Lisa. "Lisa!" Clementine shouted, but she walked away with the woman, giving a sad frown towards the teens before she left.
"Shit! That guy never said anything about spending time in a cell" Clementine groaned out, kicking the pavement below them. "Clem, we can't just keep fighting!". Clementine glared at Gabe. She didn't understand why he said that at all. She was finally at McCarrol ranch and they didn't let her see AJ and treated her like a prisoner. "Shut up, Gabriel! AJ is in this... hell shell, and they don't even want me to see him!" She sighed, instantly saying shut up to Gabe and took a seat next to cell door. She was just going throw a rollercoaster of emotions "We should've argued with that guy to let us see him earlier" she grumbled and turning to she was facing the cold stone wall in front of her. Gabe was about argue back and say something in his defense, but he decided not to. He sighed and looked at Clementine. He slowly walked over to her to mainly apologize for what he said, even though he did think she overreacted a bit, but still, he wanted to comfort her.
He walked over to her and embraced her into a warm, gentle hug. She eventually turned back to hug him back. "My... Goofball" she mumbled while pulling herself tighter to Gabe, slightly sobbing. She didn't want to break down in front of Gabe, she always thought crying as a weakness but she just couldn't help herself and shed a couple tears. Gabe rubbed his thumbs in a circular motion on her back, trying the best to comfort her.
They stayed like that for a couple minutes until eventually Clementine pulled away and gave him a small smile.
Neither of them talked after that. Gabe would crack some lame jokes to try to cheer Clementine up and keep her thoughts away from the whole AJ mess, which obviously worked considering she was chuckling at his jokes.
They were both on the small cot the people gave them. They had to share it since neither of them wanted to other person to sleep on the floor.
"Clem?"
"Yes, Gabe"
"Bathtubs are reverse boats"
She chuckled, "Go to sleep, dork"
--•--
Morning finally came. The chirping from birds, and the sunlight gazing on their faces while being greeted to a refreshing early morning smell. Clementine slowly woke up, almost falling off the cot in the process. "What a beautiful and... elegant way of waking up" Gabe blurted out in a raspy voice, laughs escaping from his mouth. She rolled her eyes, "Thank you... for the warm welcome" she replied, matching with the sarcasm with Gabe. He handed her a small plate with some beans and two slices of toast. "Lisa came by earlier and gave us this for breakfast". Oh, right, Lisa. They both kind of forgot about her ever since she was taken away. Clementine was skeptical about her also. I mean, why would she gasp at her new frontier mark? And why did the lady smirk at her and Lisa? Something was awfully fishy about it. Clementine decided it would be best to keep a close eye on her.
CLICK!
Clementine and Gabe both turned around and saw the same guy earlier.
Moose
He shot a glare at them and motioned them to come out of the cells. Clementine glared back and was hesitant about going with him until Gabe grabbed her hand, leading her with him.
"I appreciate you two for listening to me yesterday.... I-I mean, it's my job.". Gabe nodded, "Wel-" "Can we get AJ? We came here for AJ, and now that we're here I want to see him". Clementine said, interrupting Gabe quickly. Moose gave a heavy sigh and started at the ground, "Fine. You can see him... but only for a little!" Moose finally exclaimed, leading them to the nursery.
Finally, they arrived. It was very small building with a couple windows here and there, and there were a lot of toys, and bright wallpaper covering the place. Clementine paced around frantically, looking for AJ.
"Cwem?"
"Oh my god... AJ!"
And there he was, she had finally found AJ
