-Nine Days Later -

Nick and Clementine have been walking for a long time. And they had gotten closer too.

They see smoke up ahead.

“Nick...look.” Clem said

Nick looks up and smiles when he sees the smoke.

“Come on.” Nick said as he starts running.

“Hey!”  

Clementine runs after him.

They are laughing while running up the hill.

When they get to the top, Nick was panting.

“You cheated.” Clem said

Nick just smiled and then, he looked at the wall.

“Holy shit...Kenny was right…” he said

“We made it…” she said with a smile.

“What are we waiting for?” Nick said

Nick and Clem started to walk towards the wall.

“We're finally safe, Clem.” He said, smiling

They heard a gunshot and stopped walking.

“That's far enough.”

“Just stay still, Clem.” Nick said

Clem nods her head, they put their hands up.

“Drop your weapons.”

Nick drops his gun and knife on the ground.

Clementine drops her gun to the ground too.

“Approach the gate.”

Nick and Clem walked over to the gate.

“Just two people at the front gate. They don't look like trouble.” The girl said into the walky talky.

They got in front of the gate.

“Hi, I'm Edith.” The girl said to them.

“Name's Nick and this is Clementine.”

“Hello.”

“Is there someone named Christa in there?” Clem asked

“I don't think so dear.”

Clementine got a sad look on her face.

“So...this is Wellington, right?” Nick asked

“A lot of people call it that.”

“Ok…so, what do we do to get in?” He asked her

“Well...I'm afraid this is the part where I give you the bad news.”

Nick and Clem look at each other.

Edith drops a bag in front of them.

“The hell is this?” Nick asked

“There's some supplies. Food, water, some medicine, a first aid kit…”

“What? Why are you giving us this?”

“Unfortunately, our community isn't accepting new members. We're over capacity as it is and there's just not enough to go around if we keep bringing people in. Things might change…”

“You gotta be fucking kidding me?” Nick said

“I'm sorry, I really am.”

“There's only two of us.” Clem said

“This...this is hard for me too. I don't want to turn anyone away. Especially a child but…”

“Just take her! Please! It's too dangerous out here for her.” Nick said to her

“Nick, I…” Clem said

“It's just a little girl, you can make room for that. Please just...I need her to be safe…”

“I'II...I'II ask, just gimme a second.”

Edith walked somewhere else and Nick looks down.

“I'm not staying here without you.” Clem said

Nick looks at Clementine.

“It’s safer here…” Nick said to Clem

Edith came back “We can take the girl...but just the girl…”

Nick smiled “Thank you.”

He looked back at Clementine, she had a sad look on her face.

“This is your chance, Clem. You'll be safe in there…”

Clem started to cry “No...why are you doing this?” She asked him

“Because it's the only way…please Clem, just…”

Nick was starting to cry too.

“No! We're leaving! Both of us, together.” Clem said

Nick looked at her “Clem…”

“Nick...we're staying together…”

Nick smiles and hugs her.

They pull apart and look at Edith.

“Sounds like...she means it.”

“Yeah...yeah it does.” Nick said

“Come on, we're leaving.” Clem said

They smiled at each other.

“Thanks for the help…” he said to Edith

“You all stay safe out there.”

Nick picks up the bag.

They both smiled and started to walk away.

Nick picks up his gun and knife.

Clementine also picks up her gun too.

They started walking again, to somewhere else.
