Joel P.O.V.
"Joel wake up!"
I'm following Tess and Marlene through the streets of Boston, not knowing exactly where we're going. Marlene wants us to smuggle something out of the city, she won't tell us what it is.
We walk up a flight of stairs when we come to a green door to what looks like a bakery. Marlene tries to open the door but due to her gunshot wound, she is too weak.
"Joel, give me a hand with this," she says.
We push open the door and she falls to her knees in pain.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..." I say as I bend down to help her. "Come on now, get on up,"
"Get the fuck away from her!" A girl suddenly shouts and comes at me with a knife.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Tess grabs her wrist like it's nothing.
"Let her go," Marlene says. Tess sighs and lets go of the girl.
"You're recruiting kind of young, aren't ya?" I say to Marlene.
Marlene sighs, "She's not one of mine,"
The girl rushes over to Marlene, "Shit. What happened?"
"Don't worry, this is fixable. I got us help," Marlene says to her. The girl looks at us disapprovingly then back to Marlene. "But I can't come with you,"
"Well, then I'm staying," The girl retorts quickly.
"Ellie, we won't get another shot at this," Marlene says.
I jump into their little dispute, "Hey, we're smuggling her?"
"There's a crew of fireflies that'll meet you at the Capitol building," she responds.
"That's not exactly close," Tess butts in.
Marlene hisses back, "You're capable. You hand her off, come back, the weapons are yours. Double what Robert sold me,"
"Speaking of which, where are they?" Tess asks.
"Back in our camp," Marlene replies.
Tess breaths out fast, "We're not smuggling shit until I see them,"
"You'll follow me. You can verify the weapons. I can get patched up," Marlene pauses. "But she's not crossing to that part of town. I want Joel to watch over her,"
"Whoa, whoa, I don't think that's the best idea," I say while Ellie says, "Bullshit! I'm not going with him!" at the same time.
"Ellie!" Marlene says annoyed.
Ellie puffs out a breath of air and walks closer to Marlene, "How do you know them?"
"I was close with his brother, Tommy. Said if I was ever in a jam, I could rely on him,"
"Was that before or after he left your little militia group?" I ask.
"He left you too," Marlene responds. "He was a good man,"
Tess walks over to me and leans in close, "Look, just take her to the north tunnel and wait for me there,"
"Jesus Christ," I say in almost disbelief.
"She's just cargo Joel," Tess says.
"Marlene..." Ellie says.
"No more talking," Marlene cuts Ellie off. "You'll be fine. Now go with him,"
