Different Setting

Where's Clementine?

That's when more walkers could be heard. "Shit!" Kenny cursed.

"Oh man...oh jeez..." Ben muttered.

"Shut the fuck up, Ben!" Kenny whispered harshly.

"Everything okay up there?" Lee asked.

"I think I just peed myself," Ben answered, causing Sarah to laugh slightly.

"So, yes then," Lee said. They continued to climb up the ladder until, finally, they made it to the rooftop.

Just below them, they could see hundreds, if not thousands, of walkers meandering around and growling. It wasn't a great thing to view from above, but at least they weren't caught up in all of that.

"Remember when Savannah was empty?" Kenny questioned.

"Those Crawford bastards did one thing right, I guess," Christa chimed in.

"There must be thousands of them..." Lilly trailed off.

"Did they follow us here?" Ben inquired.

"It sure seems like it," Kenny confirmed.

"That's crazy; they can't track. They just roam!" Christa said.

"That fuckin' train wasn't exactly discreet."

"Clementine's out there, gobbled up in all of that," Lee finished.

"Look, let's get our bearings and see if we can make it across town. Good? Good."

The group went their separate ways around the roof, with Carlos and Sarah together over by the farthest corner. Everyone was in a different direction, looking for an opening through the very many walkers. Once again, it was Lee's job to figure out a way off of the roof.

He looked around for anything that could be of use to them, and there honestly wasn't much on the roof. It looked as though it had already been cleared off long ago. The rest of the group began looking, too. "There's a fire escape here," Ben noticed, but it lead right down to the giant horde of walkers, and they didn't want that at all. They needed to avoid the walkers at all costs; the faster they got to Clementine, the better. No one could tell what that sick fuck on the radio was going to do to her.

And, suddenly, Lee noticed the bell tower just across from the roof. Molly came to mind, because that was how she got the walkers to move. "That could work..." Lee mumbled to himself. But how was he going to get across?

After a brief search, he noticed a ladder in the center that was probably used to paint the unfinished message on the building, and got an idea. Lee picked it up and began walking over to the edge, extending it so that it could get over to the bell tower.

"The bells..." Christa observed as everyone else came to see what Lee was doing.

"Yeah, could buy us some time," Lee answered, "draw as many as we can this way, get down off the opposite side, and bust our asses back to the mansion."

"You sure you should do this?" Kenny wanted to know.

"My leg's feeling better, I'll do it," Omid offered.

"I'll do it!" Ben added.

"Yeah, Ben will do it," Kenny scoffed, and Lilly snorted in somewhat agreement.

"If we have to decide who takes a risk like this, it should be the guy who's got the least to lose," Lee pointed out. Lilly stepped forward as if to remind him of yesterday's events, but he continued, "What's the worst that could happen? I get bitten or something?" The group looked at one another. "So, we're agreed, then."

"That thing looks a little rickety," Kenny pointed out.

"You think you could keep that shit to yourself next time?" Lee asked. It seemed like he didn't like heights too much, either.

"Yup."

Lee slowly began to climb the ladder, but about halfway through, the ladder started to narrow down. "Oh, shit!" he cried. Quickly, he jumped over to the bell tower, just barely making it. This action surprised the others.

"Holy shit, man!" Omid yelled over to him.

"Are you okay?" Christa called.

"I'm fine!" Lee called back to the group. He then proceeded to ring the bell to draw the walkers away from where they needed to go. It seemed to work too, because they began to walk towards the sound.

"They're coming this way!" Carlos yelled.

"Tons of them!" Omid called out.

"Jesus!" Kenny exclaimed.

"Try to find a way back here now," Christa said. Lee didn't know how he was going to make it back to the hospital rooftop, and the drop below seemed to be quite the jump. His eyes widened as he looked down.

"I think I have to jump, there's no way back!" Lee nearly yelled.

"You can make it!" Kenny encouraged. "It ain't that far!"

"You got this...you got this, motherfucker," Lee muttered to himself. He got a good running start, then propelled himself across the gap between the two rooftops. Thankfully, he barely made it, and was able to pull himself up on top of the roof.

"You okay?" Lilly asked, helping him stand up.

"I'm fine," he insisted.

"Good goddamn leap, pal," Kenny said, approaching him. "Let's get the hell off this roof!" And they all ran to the exits.

With no walkers out after them, it didn't take long for the group to make it back to the mansion. Lee shot the only walker they had seen, but there was no noise due to how close the gun was to its head. They walked over to the other side of the shed, only to find the doors open, and another surprise.

"Holy..." Christa trailed off.

"What the fuck?!" Kenny exclaimed, placing his hands to his head.

The boat was gone.
