Gabentine - The Walking Dead Game Season 4 (Gabe x Clementine) Fanfic

Chapter 28 - Packing Up

Gabe's POV:

Dinner was pretty much what'd you expect it to be like. Some eggs and meat were probably the best food source anyone could find right now. New Richmond was luxurious thanks to Javi. He'd taken the task of being the leader pretty well, and has done his job in organizing.

The rules were simple. As long as you contributed, you were fed and given a home, with the exception for children, of course.

Although the beds weren't five star material, it's a whole lot better than sleeping in a tent with one eye open.

I laid in bed by myself after the short meal with Clem. It was an exhausting day, and so much had happened, not only between Clem and I, but also with the reunion of the good friends we had met not so long ago.

Thinking about the reunion they had, gave me a jolt of excitement. When Clem and AJ would reunite, it'd be the happiest moment for her.

"Gabe... Gabe?" Clem said, shaking me.

She continued, "Wake up dork, we've got a big day ahead. Let's start to pack what we'd need."

"Okayy..." I said exhaustedly, "but I'm already packed."

I looked up at her and smiled and saw a confused look on her face.

"What do you mean? We'll need guns, food, water, some g-."

"- Remember what I said yesterday? I'd be okay with just you near me." I said, cutting her off.

"Alright. That was good. But for real, start packing." she said, shaking her head at me with a smile.

She left the room and went into the living room area where she slept last night on the couch. I sat up, stretched, and rubbed my eyes to clear it up. I wish I could wash my face, but clearly water was limited.

Everyone had a small bucket of water in their home for use and mine was still half full. I took a towel nearby and dipped it in the water and washed my face.

I felt fresh for once. I was rejuvenated and I wanted Clem to share this towel too.

"Here Clem," I said handing her the wet towel.

"Thanks Gabe."

Packing didn't take too long. All that was in my backpack was a canister of water, a few cans of beans and a knife.

I took the knife out of the bag and clipped a knife holder onto my pants. It'd easier to grab in tough situations.

I also picked up a handgun from the room. A PO-8 pistol with 3 clips of extra ammo. Together, I had 24 bullets with 8 already in the clip.

I was ready.

And she was too.

We left the housing building where I stayed and looked at the map again. The route was from here to Macon, Georgia.

"Macon. That's where I lived." Clem said.

"Oh, it must've been a long ways to get here then." I said.

We reached the other end of the gate, opposite of the one we usually left from, and started to leave.

The motorbike was already at the gate thanks to Weston and also a little backpack on the side.

I picked it up and unzipped it. Inside was a note with some other supplies. The note read:

Thanks for helping us find each other. I heard around that you're leaving to find someone important, so the three of us have put together this care package an extra gun from the armory and some more food for your way there. Also I kept a siphon pump on the motorbike for when the gas runs out.

                                                              Good luck.

Inside was not only another pistol. But also two silencer attachments to the pistols. This'd be easier with the silenced weapons, it wouldn't attract muertos as much.

We shut the gate behind us and left. My little watch in my pocket showed that the time was 9 in the morning, and since the drive seemed to be around 8 hours, we should easily get there tonight.

"I'll drive first." I exclaimed.

"Okay, I'll take the shift half way in. No stops remember. And the speed limit doesn't matter anymore dork." she replied.

"Alright. But maybe some pee breaks, we can't hold it in forever." I said.

She let out a small laugh and got on the motorbike. I turned on the engine and slowly inched the bike forwards to get it going again.

She wrapped her arms around me and rested her head on the back of my shoulder and whispered,

"AJ. I'll find you."
