Lee swiftly made his way back inside, the brown bag under his arm as he marched to Lilly's room.

She looks up as he enters, her brows furrowed. "Have you come up with anything?"

"I came up with this."

He drops the bag unceremoniously onto the bed, Lilly slowly taking it and opening it.

"Got a bunch of meds in it. It was in a grate on the outside wall, and there's a sign above it and on the other side," Lee informs, Lilly's eyes widening.

"Holy fuck."

"Yeah."

She shakes her head as she rises, "okay. We line everybody up. Everybody. Somebody is killing us. Stealing from that supply is the same as slipping into your room at night and cutting your throat while you sleep. You die. What is the difference?"

Lee sits down in the chair, knowing it had to be done but wondering how exactly to.

"What if Clement or (Y/N) get sick and we don't have what we..." Lilly trails off as her gaze flicks above Lee to the window, her eyes widening. "What the hell?!"

"You don't fucking steal from us!" a man yells outside.

"Who the fuck is that?!" Lee peeks slowly through the window. "They've got our people out there!"

"Y'all come out here! Now!"

Four men were forcing the group to their knees while aiming weapons at their heads, and more were most likely hiding in the forest.

"Lilly, what do we do?!"

"Shit!" she curses as she races to the rifle, sliding the window open. "They're gonna start kicking in doors any second!"

"What the hell are you--?!"

"Stall them!"

"What?"

She starts climbing out the window, looking back to Lee. "Just keep them talking! Do whatever it takes to stop him from pulling the triggers!"

"You made the biggest mistakes of your lives!"

Lilly disappears out the back window, Lee cursing under his breath as he swiftly heads outside.

"Enough of this bullshit! Drew! Start putting your boot to these doors!"

Lee cautiously walks around the RV with his hands up.

"Hold it, asshole!" the leader yells, aiming his gun at Lee.

"Take it easy," Lee implores, slowly walking close to the group. "Why are you doing this? Just leave us the fuck alone."

"Why?!" the leader laughs, Lilly peeking around the wall on the second floor of the motel. "This fucking guy! Why? Because we gotta, that's why!"

Lee shakes his head, anxiously looking at his group. "What will it take for you to let them go?"

"About twice as much as you've been giving us!"

"You got it! Done!" Lee quickly agrees.

The leader lowers his gun. "Is that so? Well... I suppose we oughta hash out some terms, then."

"I don't like no hash," one of his goons speaks.

"Shut up, or I'll--"

The leader was shot through the head by Lilly, one of the bandits screaming.

The group run for safety, Carley swiftly grabbing the leader's dropped gun and killing two of the bandits.

The gun clicks as she tries to kill the third, no more ammo in the weapon.

Lee swiftly draws his gun, shooting the bandit in the ass as he hops the fence. The bandit sharply whistles, more men emerging from the woods.

Lee runs for cover as the men move their gates, everyone scattered around the lot. Ben tries to make a run for it to Lee, a bandit shooting a rifle at him.

It scarcely misses Ben, making him dive back behind cover with Carley.

"We gotta get out of here!" Kenny yells as he runs out of his room, carrying his rifle.

"No shit!" Lee shouts in agreement.

"Get those bastards!" Kenny hands the rifle to Lee, "cover our people and get them into the RV!"

Kenny runs into the RV, trying to get it to start as Lee takes aim on the left side. He headshots one of the bandits as another sneaks through, Lee ducking behind cover as he fires at him.

Lee swiftly looks out, aiming and shooting the other bandit as he walks towards Ben and Carley.

"Now! Get over here, hurry!" he yells to the two, Ben scrambling to race over and Carley following.

"You saved our asses!" Ben stammers out, his eyes wide.

"Get inside!" Lee barks, Ben nodding as he hops in the RV.

More men start coming in through the right, Clement's eyes wide as he looks over their cover. (Y/N) peers around, Katjaa swiftly pulling her back as they were fired at.

"Help!" Katjaa yells, holding Duck close to her.

"Katjaa! Hang on!" Lee shouts.

A walker enters, sinking his teeth into a bandit's neck and pulling him down as he screams ane squeezes his trigger.

Lee peers around the side of the RV, noticing Katjaa, Duck, (Y/N) and Clement behind cover a few feet away.

"Where is he?!" one of the bandits yells.

"Behind the RV!"

"Go get him, then!"

Lee aims and fires as a man looks around cover, killing him. Another rises and fires at him, Lee just barely managing to duck back to safety as bullets fly past. 

He aims his rifle again, shooting the last two men quickly as they move from cover.

"Katjaa! Hurry! Come on!"

Clement takes (Y/N)'s hand, the two running over to Lee as he kneels down and wraps his arms around them.

"Get inside the RV, you two!" Lee says as he pulls away, (Y/N) looking around.

"My doll!" she points to the left side, her doll left where she and Clement were just minutes ago.

"I'll get it, just get inside!" Lee promises, making her nod as she reluctantly runs into the RV.

Clement looks at the doll with determination, Lee shouting his name as he bolts out into the open.

He slides behind cover, panting lightly before reaching out and snatching her doll.

"Clement, get over here!" Lee yells in fear as he continues shooting at walkers and bandits, covering him.

Clement staggers into a run as he races back, holding her doll in his hand and getting into the RV.

Lee sighs heavily in relief, though it turns to fear as Katjaa screams. He looks back, a walker climbing over Katjaa and Duck as she falls and slams her head on the ground.

He aims his rifle, shooting the walker through his head.

"Kat! Oh, Christ!" Kenny yells as he runs out of the RV, racing to the two.

Katjaa had a gash on the side of her head that was bleeding profusely, blood from the walker splattered all over her and Duck. Kenny kneels to them, helping her up and grabbing Duck off the floor.

"Lilly, get in the RV!" Lee shouts as Kenny and his family run over.

"Screw her! Let her stay!" Kenny scoffs as they climb in, Lee looking around the right side as he shoots more walkers.

Carley notices more walkers getting in, knowing Lee couldn't handle them all alone.

"I got this side covered!" she tells Lee as she runs out on the left side of the RV, Lee nodding thankfully.

Together they keep the walkers back as Kenny manages to start the RV, the engine sputtering before it rumbles.

Carley grabs Lee's shoulder, making him look back as he rises. "Lilly! Last chance, get down here!"

Lilly looks down to them, walkers overrunning the motel and bandits still in the woods.

"Shit!"

She turns and races down the stairs, just barely managing to get inside the RV as Kenny speeds away, crashing through anyone and anything that got in their way.

...

..

"Kat! Jesus, are you okay?!" Kenny frantically questions, jerking his head from the road to look to her.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," she reassures, holding a sickly-looking Duck in her arms.

"Oh, shit, oh, shit!" Ben panics, rocking lightly as he held his face in his hands. "I'm sorry!"

(Y/N) was breathing heavily as she held her knees to her chest, Clement watching her with concern as he scooted himself practically sat against her for comfort.

He held her doll in front of her, her eyes shifting up to it as she shakily grabs it before hugging him.

"Everything's fine, Ben--" Carley starts.

"Everything's not fine," Lilly snaps, glaring between the two as she remains standing. "We need to figure out how this happened. We just lost everything."

Kenny grips the wheel tightly, keeping his eyes on the road. "Well, we're lucky as shit to have this RV."

"And nobody died," Carley adds.

"Kat's head is split open!"

"I'm fine," Katjaa gently says to Kenny.

"Somebody in here caused this." Lilly glares around.

"Settle down back there!" Kenny firmly says, shifting in his seat. "The bandits have had our number for days!"

Lilly shakes her head. "This was different. Somebody was working with them. Whoever it was was slipping them our meds. They didn't get their last package so they attacked."

"Calm down back there! That's nuts!"

"Lee found a bag of supplies hidden outside the wall!"

Lee, who had been silent until now, solemnly nodded. "It's true."

"So... Carley," Lilly glares to the woman, "is there something you want to say?"

Carley scoffs, scowling. "Please."

"We have to get it out of you, then?"

"Back. Off."

"You're in no position to make demands..."

"Whoa, whoa," Carley angrily laughs, raising a brow. "You're just pointing fingers."

"I didn't just come up with this. I've had my suspicious," Lilly firmly replies.

"Probably not the best time, Lilly!" Kenny calls from the front seat.

"If not now, then when. Look at what just happened!" Lilly hisses through her teeth.

"Carley's trustworthy," Lee defends, crossing his arms. "She's not a traitor, Lilly."

(?) Carley will remember that

"Thank you, Lee!" Carley nods gratefully, a small smile on her face.

Lilly scowls, "she can fight her own battles. Unless there's something going on here that implicates you both."

"Don't be ridiculous." Carley hisses with annoyance, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Look, maybe we should, uh, vote or something!" Ben squeaks out, anxiously glancing around.

"Vote?" Lilly repeats, turning her glare to Ben. "What?"

"Just-- look, Carley's a stand-up gal, and maybe this was all just a mistake!" Ben sweats under Lilly's intense stare, swallowing nervously.

"We need to look at the facts," Carley intervenes, nodding. "Let's calm down, we'll eat, and we'll deal with it."

"Yeah! Let's do that!" Ben agrees, clearing his throat anxiously.

Lilly glares between the two, Lee huffing as his brows furrow. "Lilly, stop waving the finger at everybody. We know something's going on, and we can get to the bottom of it if we keep our heads."

"I know what we found!" she emphasizes, her brows furrowing in anger as she turns to Lee.

"I know, Lilly. I know," Lee sighs, shaking his head with a frown.

"Nobody was stealing anything!" Ben suddenly says, Lilly turning her glare to him.

"Was it both of you?"

"W-What?!"

"I've seen you two together," Lilly lowly states, staring at him with a white-hot glare. "Was. It. Both of. You?"

"Look, just let me out!" Ben avoids her gaze, shaking his head. "I didn't do it, but I don't like this. I don't like where it's headed."

Lilly leans close to him, her steady glare unwavering as his wide eyes frantically loom anywhere but her.

"Look me in the eye and tell me you didn't have anything to do with it," Lilly threatens as she lowers down to his level, her glare unyielding.

Ben's swallows thickly as he leans away, Carley sighing. "Lilly, lay off of him."

"... I--" Ben starts.

Ben was interrupted by Kenny cursing, the RV jerking as it runs over a walker.

"What's going on up there?"

"I hit something," Kenny replies in irritation. "We gotta stop."

Lilly smiles, though her eyes were still furious. "All right. We can deal with this now, now!" she muses in a false-happy tone.

Kenny pulls over, Lee holding the wall to brace himself as the RV jerks to a stop.

"Kenny, is it safe?"

"Should be," he calls, rising.

"Everybody out," Lilly commands, slamming the door to the RV open.

"Lilly..." Lee lowly says, grabbing her arm and shaking his head.

She jerks away from him, scowling. "Out."

She steps outside, the area dark and woods on either side of the long road and a crashed, flipped over vehicle abandoned, a dead walker in the windshield and a dead walker on the ground near it.

Kenny exits through the driver door, walking around the front as the others pile out.

Clement and (Y/N) remain inside, standing in the doorway.

A walker groaning makes Lilly kneel down, the walker pinned underneath the RV and stuck.

"Kenny, the RV has some surface damage, but there's a walker trapped underneath."

"God damn it," Kenny sighs, adjusting his cap as he squats down in front of the RV. "Everyone, keep your eyes peeled."

"You know what?" Lilly looks between Ben and Carley, "we shouldn't just kick you out. We should hear what everyone thinks."

"I think you should chill out!" Ben stammers.

"I'm not gonna take this," Carley scoffs, crossing her arms. "You can push Ben around, but you can't push me around."

"I'm really sorry you feel that way," Lilly says in a tone that doesn't sound apologetic at all. "But I'm starting to think maybe it was both of you."

"No!"

"Dumb fucking-- ahh!" Kenny yells in frustration.

"You okay over there?" Lee calls in concern, Kenny shooting him a thumbs up.

"Yeah, yeah. Son of a bitch walker..."

"Ben, you have no other option--"

"Leave him alone!" Carley snaps.

"Then tell me it was Carley, and everything will be right as rain." Lilly ignores Carley, focusing on grilling Ben.

"There's no way it was Carley," Lee firmly intervenes. "It was somebody else. It could've even been someone sneaking into our camp!"

Lilly laughs in disbelief. "That's ridiculous. That's what you think?"

"Yes."

"Okay, fine then!" Lilly scoffs, looking over to Kenny. "Kenny?"

"I don't know!" Kenny snaps, grunting as he tries yanking on the walker's hands. "Fuck, just stop, would ya?!"

"Well, your vote counts for you and Katjaa!"

"We don't need all these votes!" Ben starts yelling, panicking. "What do I have to do for you to trust me?! I'll do anything! I'll-- I'll do watches for a month!"

Lilly laughs, "The hell you will."

"I'll get more food! More medicine! Anything! Just--"

"You think any of that is good now?!" Lilly screams back furiously.

"Just let me stay! Please!" Ben starts sobbing. "God, please!"

Lilly glares at him, "You're pathetic. Look at you!"

"Stop panicking!" Lee snaps to Ben, shaking his head. "Seriously, Ben. You need to stop and just take a breath."

Ben continues sobbing, nodding as he wipes away at his tears that continue falling.

"Do we need any more evidence than this?!" Lilly demands, gesturing wildly to Ben's hysteric state.

"Fuck evidence!" Carley yells, stepping forward. "Stop treating him like this!"

"Shut up, Carley!" Lilly snarls, "I've heard enough out of you! Kenny! What's it going to be?!"

"Give me a damn minute!" Kenny snaps back, not looking up.

"Ben," Lilly starts in a sickly sweet voice, "you have until that walker is dealt with to tell me it was her and not you!"

"Stop this!" Carley places a hand on Ben's shoulder as he starts to breathe heavily, nearly hyperventilating. "You're torturing him!"

"N-No!"

"Ben!" Lilly snarls.

"Stop!"

"This is about trust, and I've never trusted you!"

"I did it!" Lee steps in front of Ben, scowling down at Lilly.

"What?!"

"Yeah, yeah it was me. That get you to lay off the kid?" Lee questions with a roll of his eye, crossing his arms over his chest.

(?) Carley will remember that

Lilly heaves with anger as she shoves Lee aside, making him stagger to the left as he glares at her. "I think you're capable of being a real piece of shit, but I know it wasn't you. Not with them in your life."

(Y/N) moves behind Clement as Lilly turns her glare to them, Kenny grunting as he yanks the walker in half and pulls him out from under the RV.

"There!" Kenny laughs breathlessly, dragging the walker away. "I got 'im!"

"Please, let's just go back into the RV!"

"That's not happening."

Carley scoffs as she shoves Lilly's chest, making her stagger back. "You think you're some tough bitch, don't you? Like nothing can hurt you. But you're just a scared little girl. Get the fuck over it. Take a page from Lee's book and try helping somebody for once."

Lee looks to Carley with surprise at her words, Carley glaring at Lilly icily as Lilly stares back with a snarl, her fist clenching at her side. Kenny yells as he stomps his boot on the walker's head, making the others look back at him as Lilly reaches behind her.

He pants lightly as he walks over, dusting off his hands.

"Now, what the fuck's the problem--"

A gunfire goes off, Carley's head gushing blood as the bullet hits her eye and pierces through. Her body lands on the ground with a heavy thud, Kenny flinching back and Ben's eyes wide.

(Y/N) and Clement look at her body with wide eyes, (Y/N)'s hand flying up to her mouth as she sharply gasps and Clement's face paling.

Lilly's hand was raised holding her handgun, her expression satisfied as she sneers down at Carley's corpse.

Lee's ears rang as he looked at Carley's body, his face hardening as he grabs Lilly's wrist and slams her against the RV.

"Drop it." He growls lowly, Lilly allowing her hand to go limp as the gun falls to the ground.

"Holy fuck..." Kenny breathes out with wide eyes, Ben kneeling to her body.

"Kenny? What's happening?!" Katjaa yells from inside the RV.

"Keep Duck away from the windows! Jesus Christ!" he yells back, shaking his head as he walks over and picks up Lilly's handgun. "Get in! We're leaving this crazy bitch!"

Lee glares into Lilly's pleading eyes as she shook her head, "She couldn't be trusted, Lee. I swear. Please..."

(Y/N) stared down at Carley's body with a saddened expression, closing her eyes as she sighs shakily while turning away.

"What... What are we gonna do with her...?" Ben meekly questions.

"Leave her for the walkers." Kenny snaps back, glaring at Lilly with disgust.

"Ken! Lee?!"

"Why. Why, Lilly?" Lee's breathing was loud from his rage, his grip tightening on Lilly's wrists before he releases her and backs away.

(?) Lee let Lilly back on the RV

"Just... Get in. We'll figure out what to do with you," he lowly says, taking the gun as Kenny hands it over.

"That's a bad idea, Lee," Kenny shakes his head. "She's a murderer for shit's sake!"

"I'm a murderer?!" Lilly repeats with disbelief, tears welling in her eyes as she gestures to Lee. "You've had Lee with you this whole time!"

Kenny's face hardens, "I don't care what he did before!"

Lilly's eyes widen in surprise. "You know?!"

"Yeah! He told me. And I don't give a shit!" Kenny snaps, crossing his arms. "If we keep you with us, how long until you get me?!"

"I--" Lilly's voice shakes, "I was trying to protect all of us!" she looks down, closing her eyes. "I don't have anything left..."

Kenny growls under his breath, turning away. "Whatever. Just get in."

Lilly looks up at Lee with tearful eyes, Lee shaking his head with a glare as he points to the RV door for her to get in.

He climbs in after her, Kenny driving off as he shuts the door, leaving Carley's body behind.

Lee ties Lilly's hands behind her tightly, throwing her gun on the table in front of her and Ben.

Ben looks up at Lee with wide eyes in question, Lee giving him a firm look.

He gulps and nods as he takes it, aiming it at Lilly and ready to shoot if she tries anything.

"Lee?" Katjaa softly calls. "A word, please?"

Lee looks to the front, walking carefully forward. (Y/N) had her legs pulled up onto the seat as she leaned her head on Clement's shoulder, Clement staring at the floor as Lee passes with a concerned look their way.

He makes it to the front, peering inside. "What's up?"

Katjaa and Kenny share a meaningful look, Lee noticing Duck paler than usual as he rested on Katjaa.

"Is... Duck feeling all right?"

Katjaa slowly closes her eyes, lifting Duck's shirt up and revealing a bite mark on his stomach.

Lee's eyes widen, "what the fuck..."

"Happened during the raid." Kenny explains, his grip tight on the wheel.

Lee exhales sharply, nodding. "What's the plan? We've never had a bite victim in the group before."

Katjaa looks up at Lee, "I'm going to keep an eye on him, and see what I can do from a medical perspective."

"We keep the same plan unless something changes. East."

"Guys..."

"What else is there to do?!" Katjaa's expression softens as she sighs. "We thought you should know."

Kenny looks back at Lee with a kind expression, nodding. "Important to stay honest with each other."

Lee nods back with a saddened look, Katjaa sighing once more.

"If you could tell Clement and (Y/N), we would appreciate it."

Lee nods again, turning and heading back towards the two. (Y/N) peers up at him as she scoots away from Clement, making room for Lee in between them.

He sits with a sigh, wrapping each arm around them as they lean on him.

Lilly looks over at them, looking away as she and Lee make eye contact.

Lee glances down, "Duck is bitten."

(Y/N) looks up quickly, Clement's eyes wide as he pushes away from Lee to look at him.

"Huh?"

"He got bit by a walker trying to escape the motel," Lee softly continues, Clement laying his head back down.

(Y/N) hugs her doll close, squeezing her eyes shut as she whimpers. "I don't feel good."

Lee gently rubs her arm, Clement's hand shaking as he grabs Lee's shirt. "And Carley?"

Lee sighs once more at Clement's question. "Gone... But won't come back."

"Because... Because she shot her in the head?" he quietly asks.

"That's right," Lee responds. "It's horrible."

(Y/N) sniffles as she nods in agreement, Lee continuing to rub her arm comfortingly as he breathes out deeply.

"I'm glad I have you two."

(Y/N) peeks up at him with teary eyes, a small smile spreading on her face. "I'm glad I have you two, too."

"Two too?" Clement jokingly questions, making her lightly giggle as he nods. "I am, too. When I heard you outside our treehouse that day, I thought about dropping a hammer on your head."

Lee blinks slowly as (Y/N) giggles again and nods. "I remember."

"Why?" Lee questions in amusement, his brows furrowed.

"In case you were up to no good. I had to protect (Y/N)," Clement sheepishly replies. "Before you there was this other guy. He was yelling and trying to get into my house. He wanted to take the T.V, and tried breaking the glass door down with a rock."

"Walkers came and scared him away," (Y/N) finishes, remembering that day. Not long after they had heard the car crash, and went to investigate.

Lee's brows raise in amusement, "the door was opened."

"He was dumb," both reply, looking at each other before laughing.

Lee chuckles along, shaking his head as he leans back with a yawn and closes his eyes.

...

He could heard the faucet dripping in the sink as he opened his eyes, glancing over to check on Ben and Lilly.

Ben was still properly aiming at her, Lee nodding. He looks back to the front, the road ahead still long and dreary.

(Y/N) lets out a pained, gurgled groan, making him look down at her with concern.

She looks up, the skin from her face torn off and her eyes pale as she snarled and lunged at Lee.

"Sweet pea! Fuck!" Lee shouts, holding her back. "What happened?! Holy shit!"

Another gurgled groan makes him look back, a walker Clement snarling as he lunges at Lee and bites his wrist.

...

..

DUN DUN

This part scared the shit out of me when I first played this 😂

Oh, so my decision to bring Lilly along-- Hate her for what she did. Did she deserve to come with them? Probably not. But you know what they say-- Everyone deserves a second chance

(Even tho she betrays us but let's not talk about thAT--)

I felt so badly for Lee ): He could very well have gotten feelings for Carley, and probably trusted her with many things.

That's all for now, lovelies! ❤❤
