Chapter 8 : At the Barn

"So, Who Is that Kid?"

Clementine said while pointing at the Kid which was sleeping on the sofa, The thing which Alexis was carrying for all that time was a Kid

"You mean the kids?"

Alexis said while pointing at Lee who had a cloth by his waist to shoulder in cross which was carrying a girl on his back

"Hey, seems you two hold out here just fine"

Lee said while removing the cloths and picked the girl who was asleep, He made her sleep next to the boy

"We found a car out on the road and drove it to the road backside of the house when we were getting out of the car Lee saw those two sleeping the car"

Alexis explained to Clementine and Sandra

They kept talking for a while, Lee also took part in it and had fun by watching these three girls talking

He wanted to talk to the kids but they were asleep and looked really tired

Lee stepped out of the house to get in the backyard, It's 6:25 PM in Evening, The sun is about to sink

He can't tell If Shawn will be here or not, He can't bet on it, If Shawn doesn't show up like in the game, He already thought of a plan to keep himself safe

Alexis and others did suggest to get out of Atlanta but Lee didn't go with and ask them to wait for a while

Reluctantly they agreed, Lee started wandering on the backyard and kept looking out of the main gate but didn't find anyone except for a walker which was a little further away from them

Even though there is no one he wanted to stay because he has the feeling that the Mini-Truck Infront of him is the one Shawn had in the game so they will come back for it 

Which they did but they were getting chased by three walker's 

Lee immediately recognized Shawn and Chet as they look exactly the way they looked in the game, But with the 'Realistic Animation' 

He took out his best pistol which has a silencer and shoot those walker's 

Luckily Shawn and Chet turn out to be smart so they didn't shout instead they calmly ran towards Lee who opened the door for them

"Get In"

"Yeah"

"On It"

All three of them went in the backyard where the three ladies were standing right now

"Hey, you totally saved our asses back there man"

"Yeah Thanks for that"

Shawn and Chet while catching their breaths thanked Lee for the help he provided them

"Don't Mention It, I'm Lee"

"I'm Shawn and this is my friend Chet, We came here to wander and see how things have gotten here, and now we are regretting it"

Shawn talked to Lee and they all introduced each other, After a while they all decided to leave Atlanta

Lee told Shawn to get at the backroad after he cleared the road for him by killing the walker on the road and getting their truck ready he let Sandra and the kids in the truck and told them to get and the back road which they agreed to do 

Then Lee had Alexis and Clementine with him they went through the Jungle behind them both ladies holding knifes walk through the there since only one gun had the Silencer and clearly Lee was most efficient one to use it

He stayed behind them and kept them safe as this place wasn't safe, But there were less walker's here because when Lee and Alexis came here they cleared most of them out and after a long struggle they got there 

On the road there were Chet and Shawn who were trying to keep the walker which was onto them they were keeping it away from the truck so Sandra and the Kids won't get hurt

Lee shot the walker from quite far, He wasn't confident about it but when he did it felt natural to him as if he has been doing it for a long time or something, He guessed that this is his [Gunslinger Lv.1] skill, even though being only on Level one it's still quite efficient 

"Good shot, I don't think i can ever make a shot from that far, thanks for saving us again"

"Thank you as well for keeping Sandra safe"

"Don't mention it"

While this conversation was going on Chet got into the truck which made them get ready into the cars 

Lee, Clementine and Alexis got into the car and Chet, Shawn, Sandra and the Kids got into the truck and they started going towards the Farm which is near the Mert country, Atlanta, Georgia it took them an quite while to get there, lucking the car had lot of fuel so that didn't bother him

When they got there Chet took off the way he did in the canon, Lee tried to stop him since he knows that this guy most likely dies because he was never seen in the game again for the entire season

But he still took off as he didn't wanted to leave his mom alone

Hershel came out where they all introduced each other which was complete truth as he didn't have to lie about his past as they would eventually know sometime soon, though he still stick to the first names which got them to sleep in the barn he tried to find Kenny and his family who were sleeping on the upper floor of the barn 

After seeing them he wanted to sleep but that's when the girl woke up and started panicking when she Lee

"Where am I? Who're you?"

She panicked and thought she was kidnapped but when she saw three girls there and her friend sleeping there she started to calm herself

Alexis woke the kid and then started explaining about what has happened 

The girl didn't seem much concerned as these guys have saved her, but the kid was panicking 

"My mom was with me, She must be out there when you guys took her car"

He was speaking in a loud tone while he was tearing up a little 

Lee put a hand on his shoulder 

"Look we're sorry, but for us on that time there was just a car which was abandoned and there was on one nearby and we needed it, we didn't check the back seats because we were in rush as so many walker's were getting towards us"

Lee explained to the kids and tried to calm him down where Alexis and the little girl also tried to do the same

But Lee was having another thoughts

'I did hear something outside of the car nearby in the bushes which sounded like normal breathing and not a growl or screech Walker's make which was possible because of his [Sensory Enhancement] skill, But if he can listen to the voices which were coming out of the car, why couldn't he hear the breathing of the kids in the car 

It was the question which he didn't had the answer of but he ignored it, It must be something but right now he should sleep as he is tired after what he been through all this day

"Then what're your names kids?"

Lee asked them as he didn't want them to feel alone here and get friendly with them

"I'm Iris Hansley"

"I'm Carl Grimes"
