Abigail's P.O.V
Lee was sleeping in my arms. I looked down and smiled at him. He was adorable when he was asleep. I looked into the night sky and looked at the stars. Clem was asleep with Carl beside her with his arms around her. My sister was in shotgun and Jake was driving. Christa was in the back sleeping. I have no idea what time it is. It's either late at night or early in the morning. Suddenly I heard a noise that sounded like a tire popping. The truck started to slow down. And after a few seconds we came to a stop.

"Dammit." Jake muttered. "What now?" I asked "What happened to sleepin'?" Jake asked me. "I couldn't get to sleep." I said. "Okay then. Well we can sleep in the truck for tonight. I ain't sleeping out there if those little bastards are screamin' everywhere." Jake said. I placed Lee's head on my lap for a pillow and closed my eyes. "Good night Jake." "G'night Ab."

Clementine's P.O.V
I woke up and found Carl's arms around my waist . I looked out the window and saw the sunrise. I seen Jake leaning against the truck with his arms crossed. I decided to give him company. I opened the door and leaned against the truck. "Good morning big brother." "Mornin' sis." "Got any idea how close we are yet?" I asked. "Just a few miles." He said. "Well why didn't you just drive while we were all asleep?" "Because the damn tire blew." "Oh. When did this happen." "When y'all were asleep." I made Jake remember my birthday.

"Incase you forgot, my birthday is today." I said. "Seventeen years old." Jake said with a smile. "It's Abigail's to." I said. "Jesus you two are connected somehow." Jake laughed. "Ah. Some fresh air." Carl said exiting the truck. "Jake says we gotta walk to Howes." I told him. "Dammit. More walking?" Carl complained. "It's just a few miles up." Jake said. "Aw thank god." Carl said. Suddenly everyone got out. "We heard. We gotta walk." Christa said.

Abigail's P.O.V
We came across a huge building that said Howes Hardware. "The herds gone." Clem said. "Watch out. There are bodies all over the place They could till be alive." Jake said taking out his revolver. We all took out our guns and watched where we stepped. We entered the building that had a big opening to it. The first thing I saw was a mans face that was beaten in. His eye hanged on what used to be his cheek. "Carver." Clementine muttered with anger. "So that's Carver." Kendra said. "He's also the piece 'a shit that beat me nearly to death. Son of a bitch had it comin'." Jake said. I took a look around Howes.

Making sure there was no walkers or runners. Hell maybe hunters live here and their just out scavenging for supplies. "This is where we were held prisoner for a few days until we escaped." Clem said. It was a big space. I saw blood stains near a wall. "Jake was beaten right here." Clem said pointing toward the blood stain. "Jesus." I muttered. "Look what I found." Jake said with a kiddy jacket. "It's the jacket you refused to wear that Bonnie gave to you." Jake said. Clementine and I laughed. "The green house isn't in bad shape. Clem was right, we can harvest food here." Carl said as he entered the room.
