chapter 6

"What do you suggest?" Lee asked Glenn.

"We need as much gas as possible so we can ALL get out of downtown Macon. Fast." Glenn gave a solution

"Agree" Lee nodded

"I'll head out and get gas, there's a motel not too far from here, out toward the end of Peachtree. I'll work my way towards it and then loop back, siphoning what I can." Glenn told Lee.

Lee just gave him a surprised look and 2 words.

"You're Insane."

"Well, it's gotta get done. Plus, I'm quick and I know Macon."

"Local?" Lee asked. "Born and Raised," Glenn replied.

Lee then handed him a walkie-talkie.

"If you're going to do that, here's a walkie-talkie if you get in a tight spot. Hopefully, you won't need it." Lee told him "Clementine's got the other one. Check in with her and get back here as soon as you can."

"And you, what's your name?" Kenny looks at Lilly.

"It's Lilly. My dad's Larry," she told Kenny.

"Keep a good eye on him. These boys will work on getting you your medicine." Kenny reassured her.

"That's right." Lee chimed in.

Leonard who was on the side witnessing it all couldn't help but felt weird.

"Weren't these guys were on each other throat just a moment ago...oh wait nevermind that was just me." he thought.

Kenny then looks at the guy who was standing near the door.

Doug.

"And you, you keep an eye on that front door. You're our lookout." Kenny told him

"It's Doug, you got it." Doug agreed.

"And I'm Carley." the woman who owned the gun introduced her name.

"Ok, Carley, you'll shift in with Doug when he needs it. For now, get some rest - you're a good shot and I'd like to keep it that way." Kenny told her.

Carley nodded "You got it boss." she told him, acknowledging Kenny as the new leader of the group.

Lilly however still has that distasteful eyes on her for Kenny, however, she then looked away and back to her dad.

"Now get him those pills," Kenny said.

As Glenn was about to sneak out Leonard grabbed him.

"Bro, let me come with you, I can help," Leonard asked.

"No! It's too dangerous, and you're just a kid what can you help me with?" Glenn told him.

"Well I may not look like it, but I'm 5 times stronger than an average person, having me as a backup isn't that bad, I can keep up with you," Leonard told him.

Glenn just looks at Leonard with a thought in mind "this kid probably boasting."

Mavis who was on the side staying quiet all these time suddenly called out for him.

"No! It's too dangerous, take me along with you," she said.

He just shook his head.

"No, your duty now is to stay here and look after Ryan along with uncle Conner." he then looks at Glenn.

"Let go, we can't waste any more time, this place isn't safe," he told Glenn.

"Alright, but follow closely alright?" Glenn told him.

Leonard nodded "Got it, I'll stick close." then the both of them quietly sneaked out through the back door of the drugstore.

Mavis and Ryan who was staying behind had a worried look on their face and Conner noticed it.

"Don't worry about that kid, he can take care of himself, I've watched him long enough to noticed it." Conner reassures them." besides, he could always use "It" when the time comes to get out of a jam, you've taught him that didn't you?" Conner looks at Mavis.

"...you're right...he's indeed a prodigy at it." she then let out a sigh.

"What are you 2 talking about?" Kenny couldn't help but be curious

"Oh it's nothing, just talking about old time," Conner told him

Kenny gave Mavis and Conner a weird look.

"You both certainly don't look that old," he said.

Mavis and Conner look at one another.

"How old do you think I am?" Conner asked him. "And me as well." Mavis also ask him.

"You- Mr. Conner look younger than me...maybe in your early 30's? And you miss erm.." he realized that he had either forgotten her name or just didn't ask for it yet.

"It's Mavis," she told him.

"Right! You look like you're in your early 20 at most," he told them.

Mavis and Conner just gave Kenny a weird look.

"What? Did I get it wrong? Maybe you're younger than that?" Kenny asked.

"No no, I'm in my 40's already." Mavis told Kenny "I'm in my 50's…." replied Conner.

"...."Kenny was frozen.

"hey...I think we broke him." Mavis said.

No, it wasn't just Kenny who was short-circuited, everyone who heard the answer excludes Ryan was shocked.
