69 The Group Arrives (2/2)
”Oh, hey guys!” Doug said with a smile.
”Hey Doug,” I said.
”Uh... what happened?” Doug asked.
”Mark got shot while he and Lee were working on the fence, I covered them,” I said truthfully, ”Basically ran out of all of my ammo too”
”Bandits? Are you serious? This place isn't safe, we can't stay here” Lily said.
”Not safe?! This place is a hell of a lot safer than that motor inn! I think all of us and our guns can handle a couple of punks with bows and arrows!” Kenny said, ”What we need to do is find a way to get the whole group out here to stay, take this whole place over if we have to...”
”I agree,” I said.
”Whoa, cool your jets Rambo's, these are nice people. Let's not do anything to get us thrown out before we eat!” Larry said.
”I'm gonna head out and help Dan with these bandits. You guys should try to make friends with Andy and Brenda while I'm gone” Lee said.
”Well that's easy, I've got charm coming outta my ass,” Larry said.
”Yeah, that's... real charming, dad,” Lily said.
”Where are Ben, Travis, Orochimaru and Carley?” Lee asked.
”Since those three ate some of the food on the way to get us, they volunteered to stay behind and watch the motor inn until we get back, and Orochimaru wanted to see if those teenagers had any mutations that could help us,” Lily said.
”Alright” Lee said.
Andy, who was watching us, walked up to the kids.
”Hey kids, look what Lee got working for ya!” Andy said as he pointed at the swing.
”A swing! I love swings! Just like at my treehouse! Come on, Duck!” Clementine said as she floated over to the swing, using her Air Manipulation.
”Thanks, Lee, you're the best,” Clementine said, as she floated to the swing.
”Yeah!” Duck said happily.
Everyone went to look around the farm and Andy just looked completely baffled at Clementine.
”H-how?” Andy asked.
”Remember what I was saying about mutations?” I asked.
”Yeah” Andy answered, ”Why?”
”Well, the walkers weren't the only ones who mutated,” I said, a smile forming on my face.
”...D-does that mean others in your group are mutated?” Andy asked.
”Yeah, a few of us are... but, I'm not going to tell you what sort of mutations they are as I don't completely trust you yet,” I said.
”Okay, that makes sense... well, bye,” Andy said as he walked to the house, ”I'm gonna go check up on your friend”
”Alright...” I said, as I began to look around, bored, ”Now... what's the best way to cause some... chaos before we take these guys over?... Hmm, maybe I could save that woman... uh, Jolene? And have her talk...”
