Duck and Nick find themselves trapped by walkers in a small shed after escaping the riverbed. Walkers we're banging on the door the duo trying to keep the door shut but more kept coming one almost got through but they pushed the doors back with all their strength Duck looks at Nick
Duck: what's the plan Nick?
He didn't say anything but walked off leaving Duck holding the door
Duck: what are you doing?!
The door began to slightly open but duck kept the door slightly closed. Almost loosing his grip he sees Nick drop a box on the ground and pushes it in front of the door. Preventing the walkers coming in duck sighs of relief Nick sits down
Duke: don't worry the others will find us
Nick sigh: yeah, they will hell I'm sure you're pal izuku tearing through these lukers right about now .
Duck chuckles: yeah he would . do you think Pete and Clementine are okay
Nick: don't worry Pete won't let anything happen to her she's in good hands.
He sighs looking down shaking he's head
Nick: that could have gone a lot worse Pete might of died but Clem saved him.
Duck: yeah she did. What we do now?
Nick: I don't know?
Duck: I'll look around maybe there might be something useful that can help us get out.
Nick: knock yourself out.
Duck: there's some food hear but it's rotten
Nick: damn, keep looking there's gotta be something else around here.
Duck then walk around spot plywood on counter shelves he slid it to the right revealing cans of liquid Nick looks with raise brow

Nick: ah.. whiskey
He continue drinking Duck looking at him
Duck: now what?
Nick: Honestly don't fucking know we just wait I guess?

Pete: really?
Clementine: yeah I saw izuku kill two walkers with a pencil

She gives him the cigarette he grabs it and looks at her
Pete: you got a light?
She grabs her butterfly lighter as Pete put the cigarette on his mouth Clementine lights it up and he started taking puffs

Duck: Nick stop
He didn't listen and breaks another one he grabs one more but hesitates and lower the whiskey shaking he's head
Nick : I had to kill my mom
Duck eyes widen he didn't have to but he always felt it was his fault he's mom got bit if he wasn't so useless maybe he could of done something different but he can't worry about the past
Nick: hu.. it sounds weird when I say it out loud,hu. Luke always use to push me I'd never wanted to go into business with him
He looks at the whiskey duck listing to the man story
Nick: I remember when he sold me on his big plan some fucking plan case of beer and he just said Nick we're burning daylight and that was that.
Duck kneel down Nick began opening the whiskey bottle
Nick : after six months we were flat broke I didn't care we were having fun
He takes a sip Duck couldn't help but be reminded of his dad how he always had a plan how he broke down chugging on alcohol , but izuku told him how he saved Christa he will always be his hero not Batman he's dad. As Nick finished he spoke again.
Nick : I wish I was like him I wish I could just keep moving all the time. I'm just not built like that, everyone I grew up with it all happened to them
He takes another sip
Nick: now it's gonna happen to us . We are all so fucked this hole world is fucked
Duck: hey will make it
Nick: bullshit
It goes quiet for a minute he started shaking he's head
Nick: I mean what's the point we'll just march to some new place and somebody else will die, it's never gonna stop eventually it'll be our turn
He takes another chug of whiskey duck didn't like seeing him like this they didn't get along at first but he understands him how he feels everything that's been happening but they can't just give up no way.
Nick: can't believe we've been here a day,a day it's been a day right? Hey kid have a drink with me

Justin: you bastard your brought them here!
Izuku: I'm sorry I didn't know

Izuku: grab all your stuff we need to go
Justin: hell no I'm not going with you!
Izuku: it's either that or you get eaten what's it going be !
Justin: fuck alright!
He runs in he's room and grabs he's back pack he goes to the chest and puts all the can food in it izuku pick up the fish and puts it in his bag
Justin: I got it lets go out the back
They ran out of the cabin as the walkers broke through, they ran for quite awhile until their was no sight of walkers
Izuku: okay I thi-

Izuku doges the bullet he looks at Justin
Justin: fuck
Izuku ran up and tackle the man down dropping the revolver
Izuku: stop we can work together
Justin: screw that you just destroyed my home.

izuku was shaking he killed another man it was all he's fault if he didn't show up maybe he could of still be alive he did this, he sees the walker coming in close he pulls the arrow out and grabs the man back pack and runs away as the walkers devour Justin corpse
Duck was looking through the binoculars and pointed: hey izuku back I see him
He walks up to the ground
Pete: we got some squirrels and rabbit what about you?
Izuku: I found an abandoned cabin but I checked and whoever lived their left some can food
Rebecca: oh thank god what kinda food?
Izuku: green beans, beans and oatmeal also found a stream caught three fish
Luke : good job izuku
Nick: yeah man this is Golden
Alvin: we appreciate it
As they we're praising him he couldn't help but think about the man why couldn't he have just trust him was it the right choice to shoot him could they have gotten out of their together he sighs. Clementine walks next to him holding he's hand looking up
Clementine: you okay?
Izuku: yeah I'm fine Clem don't worry why don't you go with Duck and Sarah I'll be right behind you.
She nods and leaves Pete walks up to him and looks at the boy
Pete: so was it really abandon
Izuku: that bullshit meter of yours is good
Pete: I know so tell me what happened?
Izuku told Pete everything as the group was Walking about Justin how he had to put him down
Izuku: did...did I make the right call
Pete: izuku you gave that man a chance anyone could just shoot point blank with no hesitation that's a monster... Your the kidna guy that sees good in anyone and I respect that and if I'm being honest it was either you or him I know it's terrible but it's how it is .. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Izuku sighs: yeah just still not used to this hole world... Listen we need to train Sarah
Pete: I know I was thinking the same thing carols can't protect her forever and if we're going to be traveling with walkers and people popping up she needs to be ready.
Izuku: you and me should go talk to him I'm sure he'll listen to you
Pete: alright sounds like a plan
( Day three)
It took a lot of convincing but Carlos thought about it and decided to train Sarah but he'll do it himself and that was fine with izuku as long as Sarah knows how to protect herself he's happy
Duck: woah look at this view
Sarah: it's so pretty
Duck: just like you
He mumble
Sarah: what?
Duck blush: what?
Izuku chuckles shaking he's head: hey you want me to get picture of you guys
Clementine: you kept the camera
Izuku: yeah thought it be fun to have it for awhile you guys want in
The group look at each other and smiled the group stand together izuku put the camera on time he ran up to them kennel down between his kids and the camera flash printing out picture he runs and grabs it and shows it to everyone
Izuku: ( a perfect family picture)
They trio was now attach to the cabin group no matter what they'll do their best to be protect them no matter what.
