It's been 3 months since everything went to hell. You're sitting on the steps trying to find cool things you can do with your hands. You take out your revolver and realize that it might need to get cleaned soon.

You: Hopefully we still have some gun oil.

You begin to walk over to Clem, but you're stopped by someone.

Duck: Hey, Y/N?

You: Hey, Duck, what's going on?

Duck: Oh, nothing just the boring usual. Hey, where's your hat?

You: I don't know. I lost it a few days ago, Clem lost hers too.

Duck: Hey, I never thanked you for saving me.

You: You don't need to thank me Duck, I just didn't want a kid to die.

Duck: Well, you saved my life twice. I'll remember that when you need something, I'm your guy!

You: ...Thanks, Duck.

Duck: I'll start by looking for your hat!

Duck runs off into a random room. You facepalm at the fact that he didn't even run into your room. You walk over to Clem who's kicking a soccer ball into a barrel.

You: Hey, Clem.

Clem: Hey, Y/N!

You: I think Duck is trying to find our hats.

Clem: Why?

You: He thinks he owes me.

Clem: For saving his life?

You: I guess.

Clem: Hey, di-

Lily then whistles. Everyone crouches down. A few seconds go by until you hear rustling from the bushes.

Lee: Get the gates open! We've got wounded!

Lily: Shit, what the hell are they doing?!

Kenny looks behind him to see if anyone followed them.

Kenny: Come on. Come on!

Katjaa notices the man that Mark is carrying.

Katjaa: Oh my god!

Lee pushes the gates open and a scrawny kid comes inside.

Everyone: What happened/Where should I put him/WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE/What's going on/No time to explain/ Lee are you okay/Get him into the truck I'll see what I can do/Can you fix'em/ Jesus Ken, I don't-

Lily: LEE?! What the hell?! You can't just be bringing new people here! What are you thinking?

Kenny: Hey, you wanna calm down for a fuckin minute?!

Larry: Watch your mouth!

Lily: No, I don't! I wanna know what you thought bringing more mouths to feed was a good idea!

Lee: I thought we could save his life! I'm the one that took the leg, that makes me responsible.

Larry: Well that was a stupid thing to do!

You: Hey watch it old man!

Larry: Piss off, you little-

Lee: Finish your sentence, I dare you! Y/N, why don't you go over and play with Clementine?

Your hesitant at first, but you decide to listen.

You: Okay Lee.

You walk off towards the place where Clem, Duck and you draw. Clementine grabs the scrawny kids hand.

Clem: Come over here and see what I drew.

Scrawny kid: What? No, I-

Clem: Just come on, okay?

Clem sits down next to you. Clem is drawing, so is Duck, but you take out your revolver and spin the cylinder. Lee walks over and hands Clementine half of an apple, he hands Duck a piece of jerky. He offers you some cheese and crackers.

You: I'm okay Lee, you can give it to someone else.

Lee: Nah I'm not leaving you hungry, take it.

You: Um...

You look at the cheese and crackers and you can't help it. You swipe it out of his hands and scoff it down. Lee looks at you and Clementine.

Lee: Hey, where're your hats?

You: We don't know.

Clem: Can you help us find them?

Lee: Sure. When did you lose'em?

You: We had'em a couple of days ago.

Lee: I promise, if I find them, I'll let you know.

After a couple of minutes you hear growling and screaming from the truck, you run over to see a walker on top of Lee. You run over with your revolver and you shoot it in the head. Lee pushes it off of him and you crouch next to him.

You: Lee, are you okay?

Lee: Yeah, thanks kid.

Larry: Why'd ya bring him here in the first place, asshole?!

Lily: Dad, calm down.

Larry: You're gonna get us all killed!

Kenny walks over to the scrawny kid.

Kenny: Why didn't you tell us he was bitten?!

Scrawny kid: What?!

Kenny: He was bitten and you didn't say a goddamn word!

Scrawny kid: But he wasn't bitten! I swear!

Kenny: Well your "not-bitten" friend here, came back to life, and tried to kill my wife!

Scrawny kid: What?! Wait, you all don't know?

Kenny: What the hell are you talkin about?!

Scrawny kid: It's not the bite that does it! You come back no matter how you die. If you don't destroy the brain that's just what happens, it's gonna happen to all of us.

Lee: We're all infected? Everyone?

Scrawny kid: I- I guess so. I don't know... all I know is that I've seen people turn, who I KNOW were never bitten. When I first saw it happen, we were all hiding out in the gym and everybody thought we were finally safe. But one of the girls, Jenny Pitcher I think, I guess she couldn't take it. She took some pills. A lot of them. Someone went in the girls' room the next morning and... God...

Carley: Back off!
