Lee's POV

I've been walking around the sewers for a good 25 minutes now as I try to find a way back up while also looking for Y/N, Aiden, and Chuck. There was the occasional walker or two that I had to take care of, but it was nothing I couldn't handle. I had to also deal with a little puzzle to get a group of walkers attention to make a clear path. Once the walkers cleared out I came across  a dead body of an old man.

Lee: Jesus, poor guy. He must have tried to hide out down here. Poor bastard.

I notice a gun, but I find it to be empty.

Lee: No bullets. He must have saved the last one for himself. You deserve better old man.

I notice another walker down the way as I I a determined look on my face to take this walker down. As I sneaked up on it a walker's hand grabs my foot from underneath temporarily stopping me. This grabs the other walkers attention as it starts to turn around and approach me. I take the ice pick to pry the walkers hand off of me then I take it to stab the walker in front of me in the head. I check behind me if the others heard anything. I find out the coast is clear as I make my way further down into the sewers. I come across a door.

Lee: Locked, fucking perfect.

I use the ice pick to pry it open, but the handle breaks off.

Lee: Shit it broke off. Well there is no way imma bust that thing open.

I look above me as I notice light coming from another manhole. I prepare myself to use the ice pick to lift myself up, but as I hit my foot on the sign in front of me it moves knocking me off balance.

Lee: What the hell?

It seems loose so, I just push it off the wall revealing a huge hole in the wall. I check behind me one last time to make sure the other walkers aren't walking over here. I see they are still distracted and make my way into the hole. (Insert sexual jokes now)

I enter a small looking room with a buck bed and shelves of food and supplies enough to keep people alive for months. Wondering if anyone lives down here I see another door as I open it to find a group of old people as they all look at me shocked then I hear a gun clicked and see one of them having their gun trained on me.

???: Who are you?

Lee: It's alright. It's ok. Uhhhh, I don't want any trouble.

???: Neither do we. Which is why, you'd be wise to turn around and leave. Right now!

Lee: Look, I'm sorry if I disturbed you folks. I'll just be going.

???: You can't let him leave, he's from Crawford. If he goes back and they find out where down here.

???: Are you from Crawford? And don't lie to me. I'll know.

???: Where else could he be from? Everyone else from around here is dead?

??? Then how do you explain us you dumb fuck?

I hear a familiar voice as I see Y/N, Aiden, and Chuck appear from behind some cabinets.

Y/N: I literally just told you 5 minutes ago we have a group out there and one of them consists of a black guy with a walkie talkie.

Y/N walks over to me and points out the walkie talkie.

Y/N: And oh what do you know, a black guy with a walkie talkie.

???: You can't be to careful.

Y/N: I get that Brie, but I am telling you and Vernon this is the guy I was telling you about.

Vernon: So your really not from Crawford?

Lee: No. I'm really not.

Vernon: Well we are. Or were. We got out of there when they starting sealing up the place, starting weeding out the sick and the old so their perfect survivor society wouldn't be threatened. No room for weakness or vulnerability in their little master race.

Lee: You don't look that old. So...you're sick?

Vernon: WE'RE sick. We belonged to a cancer survivors group that used to meet at the hospital here. Now we're in remission.

Vernon: But that wasn't good enough for Crawford. They'd already rounded up five of us before the rest managed to hole up and hide from them down here. This old basement's been abandoned for years.

Lee: What is this, a morgue?

Vernon: Yeah, irony's always top of my list when I'm looking for a place to survive.  How'd you find your way down here?

Lee: Some of us got boxed in by walkers up on the street. Came down here trying to get away. I was also looking for the 3 you currently have with you and now that I have I can bring them back to our people. Back to Clementine.

Hearing this name Y/N quickly runs up to Lee.

Y/N: Clementine, how is she? Is she doing alright? She's not hurt at all is she?

I reassure him by putting my hand on his shoulder followed by a light smile.

Lee: She's been doing just fine Y/N. She actually has been quite the little helper since you dissapeared. I think you actually rubbed off on her a little.

This causes his to relax as if a 10 Ton weight just got lifted off his back.

Y/N: *Sighs* Thank god.

Vernon: Is this kid and Clementine your children?

Lee: No, they lost their real parents. I'm doing what I can.

Y/N: And we can't thank you enough for what you have done for us. You even risked your neck coming down here even if it was against your will, you stilled risked your life look for us. Thank you, so much Lee.

This causes me to smile a very big grin as I bring Y/N into a hug as he hugs back with a few tears in his eyes. This is a first I ever see Y/N release any tears. He's a tough kid. Maybe a little too tough. I hope me and Clem can crack that thick shell of his and help him open up to us a bit more.

Aiden: How are Max and the others doing?

Lee: Everyone else is fine, but from what Clem told me last I saw her, Omid's leg is getting worse and worse.

Aiden: Damn. If we don't find antibiotics soon, he won't make it any longer, or we cut off the leg.

My eyes widen hearing this.

Chuck: Well let's hope it don't have to come to that.

Lee: Yea, let's.

Chuck: Well then what we waiting for? Let's get back to our people.

Aiden: Those sewers are like a damn maze. Any chance you can help us find our way back Vernon?

Vernon: I'd like to help you, but we've all got our own problems. Two of our group are sick and need urgent care and I'm the only doctor here.

Brie: Besides why should we help you?

Y/N: Well you said your the only doctor here right? Well we have one of our own who also has some medical supplies on him. We can bring him back to help you take care of those two and plus, we'll even go inside this Crawford place you keep talking about sneak in and steal w.e supplies we can get our hands on. They should like they have everything from this city in there anyway. Our best bet is to head there.

Vernon: Now hold on a minute.

Chuck: What other choice do we have? We need help getting back to our people and we don't have much. This is the best offer you can get from us.

Aiden: You can even come with us if you want to make a you get what you need to your group.

Lee: So what do you say Vernon?

Lee holds his and out to shake Vernon's hand.

Lee: Do we got a deal?

Brie: You aren't actully considering going along with them?

Vernon: It's alright Brie. I had a child too. Lost her in the first days. I'll be damn if I'll just sick back and let that happen to someone else. Plus I could really use the help of this other doctor they have with them. This is our only hope.

Clyde: We need you here.

Vernon: Don't worry. I'll be back before you know it. Let's go.

Before we leave Vernon goes to say goodbye to everyone leaving Brie with a hug as we make our way to the sewers together to regroup with our people.

*Back at the mansion*

Y/N's POV

Lee guided us to a mansion the group was holding out in. We make it back inside as I see someone I never thought I'd see again.

Y/N: Molly?

She turns around and looks like she's on the verge of tears as she rushes and lowers to my level to give me a big hug.

Molly: Oh my god Y/N it's really you. When they said they where looking for you I didn't know what to believe.

Lee: I thought you said you saw them on the street this morning? You didn't recognize him then?

Molly: I was on a roof trying to scavenge as fast as I could and his back was turned to me, so I couldn't see his face. Besides I didn't want to believe you because its not everyday you see a ghost from long ago.

Vernon: Who's this?

Aiden: Yea and how do you know Y/N?

Molly: He didn't tell you? I'm the one who saved his ass back at the river. Who are the fossils and big army guy over here.

Lee: This is Vernon, he's a doctor. He helped us get back here after we got sperated. That right there is Chuck or Charles if your fancy. We only came across him yesterday, but he also knows Y/N, so hes apart of our group now.

Chuck grins hearing this.

Y/N: And this Molly is my big bad cousin I told you about when you used to babysit me.

Aiden: Babysit?

Molly: I used to be Y/N's babysitter when he was first born. As I'm sure he told you, his parents are abusive alcoholic pieces of shits, so I managed to convince them to make me a permanent babysitter and they wouldn't have to pay me anything. I had just got a new job before I came across Y/N. He was so innocent I felt like I had to protect him, but his parents moved making it impossible for me to babysit him. I'm just so glade to see you here after, so long. You have really changed into a fine young boy.

Y/N: I try to be. I'm so happy to see you again too Molly. When my parents said I couldn't see you anymore I was heartbroken that the only person who was taking care of me was no longer going to be there, but your here now. With me.

Molly: Yea. Together again.

We share another hug as she let's go and walks to Lee.

Molly: As for you, I believe you have something that belongs to me.

Lee hands Molly back her Ice Pick that she named Hilda.

Y/N: I sware Molly you and Hilda are inseparable.

Chuck: Hilda?

Y/N: That's what she calls her. Don't judge.

Molly rummages with my head after hearing that.

Molly: You even sound like me kid. How much have you grown?

Y/N: Enough to already be accustomed to this new world.

I frown upon saying this which also causes most of the adults around me to look at me with sympathy. It's not like I asked to be like this, but that's what the world has molded me into.

Y/N: Anyway it's great to see you and all Molly, but there is a certain somone here I need to find. We'll catch up later.

Molly: Alright killer. I'll see you later.

I speed off to look for Clementine around the house. With little to no luck I decided to ask around.

I see Duck with his parents as I see Kenny with a bottle of what looks like whiskey. My parents had a whole stash of Alcohol. Enough to make a alcoholic drink themselves to death for years to come. Damn now I wished I had time to grab some. Something to help take all this edge off. My own personal stash was also left behind and I wanna kick myself for leaving that behind. Aww well. I know how to grow more. I just need to find a seed.

Y/N: Hey guys.

Duck: Oh...... Hi Y/N.

That didn't seem very genuine.

Katjaa: Y/N oh thank god your ok. How are you feeling?

Y/N: I'm alright now that I'm back with my people.

Duck: *Mubles to himself* Shoulda stayed gone.

Y/N: What was that Duck?

I glare at him because usually when people mumble to themselves it's not always a nice thought.

Duck: Oh, uh nothing, just glade that your back.

I don't have time for this. Whatever beef he has with me we can settle it later. Right now my only concern is finding Clementine.

Kenny: Oh, hey you made it back. Goooooood joooooooob. Good job.

I know where this is going, but just for the fuck of it I might as well fuck around with him and see if hes a good or bad drunk.

Y/N: What the hell do you think your doing?

Kenny: What does it look like?

Duck: Is he ok mom?

Katjaa: He's fine sweety. Just having a little sugar rush.

She had a mean look on her face on that last sentence. I'm guessing she doesent like Kenny getting drunk in front of their son. Can't say I blame her. It's the middle of the apocolypse, where supposed to be surviving and finding a boat to get the hell outta here and he finds time to drink. And Adults say they always know what's best.

Y/N: Well Kenny it's looks like your getting shitfaced drunk when where suppose to be finding a boat. Your the boat God and your finding time to drink? Even if it's hard right now, we shouldn't let that turn us into pieces of shits.

Kenny: THE HELL WITH YA!

He stands up over me with a mad expression. So far a bad drunk.

Y/N: Getting wasted isint gonna help anyone.

Kenny: Yea? Well WHAT is?! WE ARE FUCKED!!!

He then turns and sits back down. Ok so at least he got out of my face. Neutral for now.

Kenny: Molly.. Said theres not a single boat left in Savannah. No way out. We got walkers all around us. That crazy fuck on the radio messing with us. Hell it's not the time for a drink?

He takes another swig of the bottle. He then hands it to Ben who's sitting next him. Ben grabs it about to take a swig until me and Katjaa both glared at him. He lets go of the bottle and says he's good.

Y/N: I can't believe this. Your basically giving up. The Kenny I knew would never let a small set back stop him from being the survivor I know is inisde that thick head of yours. Look at your son man. He looks up to you as a hero. Katjaa looks to you for comfort and guidance in this new world you all have to live in now. Lee looks to you for support as his best friend. Clem looks up to you because just like Lee and me you helped look out for her and she trusts you to lead this group to somewhere safe. I know you and Carley have some trouble seeing eye to eye, but she still trusts you with her life like Lee does. Aiden and Max may not know you well, but they are proud on how you have been handling all this stress and still lead us. Hell even Ben looks up to you. I look up to you Kenny. Your like another father I wish I had growing up. Lee obviously takes the #1 spot. I don't give a damn on what anyone says I'm calling him my dad from now on.

Kenny laughs at this and puts the bottle down.

Kenny: What about Charles.

Y/N: Oh he would say get off your skinny drunk ass and find us a damn boat son.

As on que Chuck walks in and sees the bottle with Kenny also still looking a little shitfaced.

Chuck: What the hell are you doing boy. Get off your skinny drunk ass and find us a damn boat son.

To say everyone was shocked would be an understatement. However Kenny being drunk found this funny and laughed his ass off.

Chuck: What the...... I missed the joke.

Y/N: I pretty much just said the same thing you said if you where to find Kenny drunk before you even said it.

Chuck: What are you a time traveler?

Y/N: No. No I'm not. Well anyway. Have any of you seen Clementine?

Duck: Where not sure?

Y/N: What the hell you mean your not sure?

Katjaa: She said she wanted to be alone in her room she found. We left her be and when Duck went to go check on her, she wasent in the room. We've been looking, but no luck. Then this happens.

She jesters over to Kenny who is staring at the ceiling with his back on the couch.

Kenny: Damned if I know. Gotta be around here somewhere.

Ben: I think she went to go play in the back yard.

Y/N: On her own?! WITH NO ONE WATCHING HER!?!?

Ben: Dude I told you where she was can you get off my back she's fine out there.

Lee hears this from the other room and walks up to the door frame.

Lee: She better be or it's your ass.

He walks to the back door as I follow him. He opens the door as I start to look around the bushes.

Lee: Clementine. CLEMENTINE!

Y/N: She's not in any the bushes which is pretty much all she could have ended up in unless she's in the shed.

We walk up to the shed as we hear a thud from the other side. Lee then goes to open it and pulls with a lot of force. Then the door opens revealing Clementine was in fact in the shed.

Clem: LEE!

She runs up to Lee and hugs him as Lee has a huge smile on his face as he smiles back.

Lee: Heeey Girl.

Clementine: I'm glade your ok.

Lee: I'm glade your ok Clem.

They smile at eachother as I show myself from behind Lee.

Y/N: Hola Clementia.

Clem then rushes at me with almost tears in her eyes as she gives me the biggest hug she has ever given me. I'm shocked by how she missed me this much. I don't waste this opportunity and hug back showing the same affection. We release each other as she looks into my (E/C) and I look into her Hazel eyes.

Clem: Hola Y/N. (In spanish)

Y/N: What where you doing in there?

Clem: Exploring and look. Look at what I found.

We all approach the shed as Lee uses all his strength to open the shed and what we found shocked Lee, but not me. It was a goddamn BOAT!

Lee: This was here the whole time?

Clem: I know right.

Y/N: SOMEBODY BETTER CALL THE BOAT GOD OUT HERE BECAUSE I FUCKING CALLED THAT SHIT!

Clem: Sware.

Y/N: Geek.

Clem: Dork.

We smile at eachother as we giggle. Then as on que Kenny comes outside with a huge grin on his face as he eyes the boat.

Kenny: Did somebody call in a boat God?

Y/N: Yessirskii. Now start working or magic on dis ho.

Kenny: Let's see what we got.

Kenny goes to look at the boat while the rest of us go inside to give him his space. Ben volunteered to help and Kenny allowed it.

Sorry if this chapter felt rushed at the end. I had to get something out before I went to work. Anyway I hope you enjoyed and I'll catch you on the next one. Peace out my homies.
