LEE POV

Lee: Hey, there, Andy.

Andy: Yeah?

Lee: We met this woman up in the woods. She seemed to know your brother.

Andy: Uh, yeah. He, uh, probably talks a little more than he oughta.

I check out the door in the back of the barn and Kenny and Y/N walks up to me.

Kenny: You found it too, huh? Lee, they're hiding something. Behind this door. I got a quick look. They got boxes of stuff. And something metal and sharp.

Lee: Don't get paranoid.

Kenny: It's my job to be paranoid, Lee. I got my whole family on this farm right now. How about you? What about Clem and Y/N?

Lee: I'll protect them, no matter what.

Y/N: I'll do the same for you two as well.

Kenny: I know you guys will.

Kenny: Look, that guy with Katjaa. What's his name? He locked it up real tight the second we came in. I definitely heard a noise back there, Lee.

Y/N: I'm a little sceptical too.

Lee: What?

Kenny: My point is, we gotta know for sure. So go find a hammer or something, and I'll have this thing off in a second. You back me up in case them farmers come running.

Y/N: They can't be around if we do this cause that'll be too loud.

Lee: Hang on, man. Think this through. You smash the lock. Then what if it turns out you're wrong? You just fucked your chance to get a good meal in those kids you're trying to protect. Use your head, Kenny.

Kenny: Alright, professor. What'd you have in mind?

Lee: Let me have a look at what we're dealing with first.

I look at one of the screws or the lock.

Kenny: Hey. Lee. You know how to pick a lock, right?

Lee: No! Why would you say that?

Kenny: Well, you're... you know... urban?

Y/N laughs.

Lee: Oh, you are not saying what I think you're saying.

Kenny: Jesus, man! I'm from Florida! Crazy shit just comes out of my mouth sometimes. Sorry.

Lee: Hmm...

Kenny: What?

Lee: See those screws? Instead of breaking the padlock, we can just take off the assembly, have a peek inside, and then replace it all again, like nothing ever happened.

Kenny: Alright. Sounds like you have a plan. I'll hang around and keep an eye on that guy with the cow.

Lee: Andy.

Kenny: Shit. I thought that was Danny. Whatever.

Andy approaches us.

Andy: Can I help you boys find something?

Lee: Just checking out the barn here. Never been to a dairy farm before.

Andy: Just don't roam around without me or Danny. The farm can be a dangerous place. You know, the bandits and all. Sorry about your friend.

Andy: Hey, uh... do me a favor. Don't fuck around with this door, okay? Just, you know, Mama gets nervous.

Katjaa: Andrew, I need your help again.
