"So, what's her name?" Larry asked.

"It's Clementine." I responded.

Larry nodded his head. He looked confused.

Everyone stood in silence. After a while, I broke it.

"So... Do you guys have any food?" I asked, slightly hesitating.

Larry glared at me.

"Yeah, we have some. We are running out though." Glen said.

"Hm mm." I mumbled.

"How long have you guys been here?" Kenny asked.

"Just a few days." Lilly replied as if she was slightly aggravated.

"We.. Uh.. Have some food in the RV." I said.

Larry's face brightened up.

"How much?" Larry asked.

"Lee, what are you doing?" Kenny whispered. He pulled me closer to him as if he didn't want anyone to hear our conversation.

"I'm just trying to be nice Kenny." I whispered.

"Why? We barely know these people." Kenny replied.

"That's true. But what if they can help us?"

"How can they possibly help us? They wanted to kill my boy!" Kenny said.

"Yeah, maybe your right...."

"Dammit Lee! You gave it away! We basically have no choice!"

"Kenny, Larry was just scared. After all, they rescued us." Katjaa whispered.

Kenny was quiet for a bit.

"Yeah, that's true. I don't know how this is going to work." Kenny said.

I thought about what could happen.

"We could invite everyone to be with us in the RV but then we would run out of food faster. But maybe they could help us to fix up the RV." I thought.

I sighed and rubbed my eyes.

"Hey, uh, Lee, whats going on?" Lilly asked.

I began to open my mouth to speak. Kenny seemed to take over.

"There's some food in our RV. We don't have much." Kenny said.

I realized Kenny was lying. We had lots of canned goods in the RV.

"We accept! Let's go get some food!" Larry announced.

"Uh, Larry...? It's getting dark outside. Do you really think that's a good idea?" Glen asked while peaking outside.

"Hm mm, yeah true. Tomorrow then. I'm so damn sick of crackers and water." Larry complained.

Kenny sighed in disgust. Carly yawned.

Everyone heard a door open and shut. I looked over and found that Clementine exited the restroom. She began to walk over to me.

"What's in the suitcases?" Lilly asked suspiciously.

"Just blankets." Katjaa said.

"Okay. Fine." Lilly said quickly.

"We have couple cans of soup, if you guys want some." Kenny said, sounding slightly reluctant.

"Okay." Glen said. Stepping closer to us.

Lilly's and Larry's face brightened up.

I yawned.
