Chapter Two Leaving Richmond

1392 words.

Clementine checked her gun for what must of been the twentieth time, as she waited. Loaded. She knew it was but she didn't know what else to do.

She was waiting for the Supple Station to give her stuff for her journey. When Richmond began recovering Javi had told everyone to pool the supplies at a station. The station would hand out rations so that everyone could have enough. When She told Javi about leaving he gave her a note that was supposed to give her enough supplies to get her to The McCarroll Ranch. Now she waited,while the people Javi had appointed to hand out rations decided what to give her.

Clem wasn't sure what to do, She was rarely idle and she was impatient to start. She moved her hand to check her gun again. Stop it Clem, She told herself putting her hand down.

"Here you are miss." Said an middle aged man, who handed her a backpack of stuff.

"Thanks." Clem said taking the backpack from him.

She left the station and went to an apartment building and entered her room. It wasn't much, It had a bed,dresser and a mirror. That was about it. She sat on her bed and opened the backpack. There was a beautiful red long coat that was in great condition. There was also a box of pistol ammunition, A knife, a water canteen(empty),and some cans of food. Clementine felt a little bad taking this from a people who had just suffered so much, but she knew she needed it too.

She put on the red coat(it fit nicely) and put the stuff in her coat pockets(Someone in Richmond will need a backpack more than I do, She thought).

She sling the backpack over her shoulder(I'll just give it to Javi before I go) and walked to the door and looked around the room,making sure she didn't leave anything behind. Nodding to herself she closed the door.

Clementine left the apartment and began her walk to the gate. It's strange , she thought, seeing two kids playing tag. It's like things are normal again. She thought, a bittersweet smile appearing. She liked Richmond now that things were going well, the walkers had been finished off, Javi had taken charge and was helping people recover, People were becoming hopeful again, hopeful for a place to be safe for them and their loved ones. AJ would love it here, Clem thought. At the thought of AJ she sped up, The sooner I find him the better.

As Clementine neared the gate she saw that Javi and someone else was already there. She could hear Javi talking as she got closer, "Yeah, I'll take these out tomorrow and get some swings in! Thanks again Jake."

"Yeah, I'm sorry again that I sent you to the wrong house." Said Jake

"Don't sweat it, I'm just glad this this stuff still exists."

"Yeah..Well, see you tomorrow, man!" Jake said walking past Clem, who approached Javi.

"Hey Clem! You all set?" Javi asked, a big smile on his face.

"Yeah, what are you so happy about?" Clem said looking at a box on the ground near Javi's feet.

"Jake found a bunch of old baseball stuff in a house basement, I figure it'd fun to take some swings again."

"Hey, where's Gabe?" Clementine asked, noticing that he wasn't here.

"Oh." Javi's smile got bigger, "He's getting ready."
