Bad Blood (Gabentine Fic)

Nice To Meat You

"Let's gather round the campfire and sing our campfire song."

AJ frowned as Gabe looked away from the road to give him his cue to join in on the song that was playing in the car and ignored the teen. AJ hadn't been in the best of moods lately and Gabe suspected it had something to do with the fact they still hadn't found Clementine yet, but he had one more song that was sure to make the kid smile. Gabe skipped through the CD and gave AJ a wide grin as the song started to play.

"I'M A GOOFY GOOBER! YOU'RE A GOOFY GOOBER! WE'RE ALL GOOFY GOOBERS!"

Gabe could see a smile start to form on the kids face before he smashed it down into a frown again. Gabe kept his eyes on the road before looking back at AJ and nudging him slightly in the ribs, still singing along horribly to the song.

""Put your toys away well I got to say when you tell me not to play, I say NO WAY! No way no no no no no no way! I'm a kid you say. When you say I'm a kid I say "Say it again." And then I say Thanks! THANKS! Thank you very much."

The teen watched as AJ started giggling as he tried making his voice deeper when he sang to the kid and put an imaginary mic to his mouth to sing so more.

"So if you're thinking that you'd like to be like me. Go ahead and try. The kid inside will set you free!"

Gabe handed AJ the imaginary mic and AJ took it with a wide smile, starting to sing the chorus to the Spongebob song.

"I'm a goofy goober!"

The two sang to their hearts content as they drove down the deserted road, Gabe finally feeling relieved that AJ got out of that foul mood. The dynamic duo were driving to a small town because that's where Gabe's gut was telling him to go and they really didn't have any other options on where else the rest of the group could be.

"Gabe?"

Gabe glanced over and seen that AJ was squirming in his seat and looking uncomfortable before pausing the music.

"Need a pit stop?"

"Ye."

Gabe pulled the car over on the side of the road and checked around the woods for any muertos. Not seeing any too close to them to do any harm, Gabe got out and went around to the passenger side and helped AJ out. The teen paused and thought about it before taking the keys with him and locking the car, grabbing AJ's hand and guiding him to a tree to do his business. Gabe thought it would be best if he tried going too because it was probably the only stop for awhile and turned his back to AJ for privacy. Gabe was going to unzip his pants when he heard a something click behind him before feeling something cold and hard press into his neck.

"I wouldn't do that kid. Now, give me the keys to your car or I'll shoot you and tell my partner to off the kid."

The feminine, but cold, voice struck panic in Gabe and he could feel his palms start to sweat from the anxiety.

"I-I can't do that. We need that car to go and find his mom and my family. Please, don't do this. Look if you just drive us to this little town up ahead, you can have the car!"

"Sorry, but I don't make deals. Keys now or you and the kid is dead."

Gabe made no move to get the keys and closed his eyes as he heard the safety get switched off and mentally said sorry to AJ and his family.

"Ada, no."

A frustrated groan came from the woman behind him as Gabe heard another person, a male, tell the woman no. He felt the gun get taken off of his neck and took that opportunity to turn around, seeing a Chinese/American woman in a pair of tight black pants and an equally tight red dress shirt. Gabe then looked around for AJ, finding him in the arms of a very intimidating man with dirty blonde hair and was dressed in tight cargo pants and a plain black shirt. AJ didn't appear to seem distressed as he was being held by a complete stranger, even giving Gabe a wide grin.
