"What?!" Gabe asked as he helped Clem back on her feet

Violet and Louis already ran to the gate. "We have to help them! " Clem said

"I agree. Let's go." Gabe Said as they ran outside to Violet and Louis

"What's going on? What do they want? " Clem asked Violet

"We don't know. They just showed up out of the fucking blue." Violet said in a panic

"What do we do now? Fight them? " Clem asked now panicking a bit as well

"They don't look like they are going to attack us just let. Let's at least try to reason with them first." Gabe said

Clem looked out and saw them approaching the gate. The woman in the front looked a bit familiar for Clem. "Oh my god... " Clem said sitting down against the wall again

"Clem? What's wrong?!" Gabe asked concerned

"I know this woman... She was in my first group with Lee. She fucked it up... Oh no, this is not good at all... " Clem said panicking

"Oh god." Gabe said to himself

"Clem, If you know her then maybe you can reason with her." Violet said

"No, I can't. She was one of the worst humans I ever encountered. She shot an innocent girl in the face and then expected us to let her travel further with us... Please I can't show her, that I'm here. " Clem said

"Fine. I'll go try to talk to her." Gabe said about to go out there

"Please just don't try to be mean to her. She'll probably kill you then... " Clem said

"Ok." Gabe said before kissing her cheek and going out there to confront her

"Hello? Somebody home? " Lilly shouted

The front gates open as Gabe walks through

"Hello there." Gabe Said

"Hey, kiddo. Are there any adults in there, we can talk to? " Lilly said in an obviously faked soft voice

"Just one. Kate!" Gabe exclaimed as Kate came outside

"What do you guys want from us? " Kate asked

"We just need supplies from you" Lilly answered

"Why from us?" Gabe asked

"Because you are one of the last remaining safe spots, that are actually alive... " Lilly said

"And who are you guys exactly?" Gabe asked

"Well, because you asked me so politely, we're called the Delta. We are the only community that really knows what's the rule of survival is." Lilly said

"And what is the rule? " Kate asked

"To have as many people as possible" Lilly said smirking

"What the hell does that mean?" Gabe asked confused

"It means, we take people of other communities and let them work for us, fight for us. That's why I came here. Now that I see you, I noticed you could be a great weapon for our community" Lilly said smirking

Clem clenched her fist behind the gate

"So basically kidnap us is your plan?" Gabe joked

"That sounds so bad... We're just taking you with us. If you're not cooperating with us then your whole group will die. " Lilly said

"Not to sound like a dick or anything, but threatening a bunch of kids kind of seems a little petty." Gabe said

"We are not technically threatening you guys. We're letting you an opportunity to survive" Lilly said
