Who Do You Want To Talk With First?

Lee

You carefully got to your feet and let out a small groan, rubbing the back of your head, the pain of smacking your head against the shelf now all too real. With a little wince, you applied just a bit of pressure, luckily not feeling anything too worrying or even too much pain. You moved your hand away and gave your head a small shake, attempting to put your pain in its place before walking forward away from the atm. Carly gave you a slight nod of approval as Doug gave a half smile and returned to his watch at the door. You could see Larry sitting on the ground, taking slow calming breaths before occasionally grabbing at his chest.

Moving towards the center of the storefront you approached thirty-seven-year-old, Lee Everett. The middle-aged African-American man was seemingly just finishing a conversation with Clementine who was sitting quietly on a few stacked boxes, clutching a walkie-talkie in her hands. Lee looked up at you as you approached and stood up from his kneeling position in front of Clementine, "Hey, John, right?"

"Yeah, and you're Lee correct?" You asked back,

Lee let out a small nod, "Yeah, that's me. Things got a little hectic earlier, I'm glad to see you're alright. Things are already crazy enough without having a man with a serious head wound," He said with a small joking chuckle,

"Tell me about it, you know about what's going on out there?" You asked with a small motion towards the door,

"Not really, I was...I woke up after a car crash and found her," Lee explained while glancing over at Clementine, "I must have been out for a while because things were already hell when I got to her neighborhood, a bunch of those freaks were around and...it was just chaos, we came here hoping town would be better,"

"No such luck," You muttered with a shake of your head, "We're just lucky this place was fortified to keep the walkers out,"

"Walkers?" Lee repeated with a frown, "Huh...Guess that's something to call 'em," He remarked with shaking his head, "Anyway, what'd you need?"

"I heard you were working on trying to get into the pharmacy, wanted to see if there was something you might need me to do to help," You replied as you scratched the back of your head,

"It's going to be tough, but I don't think an extra body will do much with that problem," You let out an understanding nod, "Tell you what, though, I think everyone here could use something to eat...think you could help me gather up some food for the group?" Lee asked with a slightly hopeful tone, "Unless you had something else you needed to do first," The man added on causing you to glance around at the others.

Help Lee Out Or Move On To Someone Else?
