We were walking through the woods, guns drawn and alert, making sure nothing snuck up on us.

"See anything?" Danny asked.

"Not yet" Lee whispered.

"Can't see much either, damn trees getting in the way..." Kenny said grumpily.

"Ditto," I said, as we continued to look around the woods.

"I know it's around here. It's gotta be close" Danny said.

Suddenly, Lee came to a stop and crouched down, pointing at an empty can.

The bandits are close.

We continued walking for a bit, looking for the camp that would be nearby.

Lee and I went to the left and Danny and Kenny went to the right.

"Over here!" Lee said to Danny and Kenny, causing them to walk over.

"Oh shit! You found it!?" Danny asked in an excited whisper.

"Fucking good job Lee" Kenny whispered with a grin.

"Yeah man, good job" I whispered with a smirk.

"Thanks, now let's see if any of those assholes are here" Lee whispered as he cautiously ran up to the camp with Danny, Kenny and myself in tow.

We ran up closer to the camp, but we saw something... unusual.

There weren't any signs of life at the camp.

It was as if the place was abandoned.

Something must be wrong.

The four of us cautiously walked into the camp, prepared for an ambush to occur.

"You see anybody?" Danny asked.

"The place looks empty," Lee said.

"Yeah, looks like this place was abandoned," I said.

Kenny just kept a careful watch out for any sign of movement.

Danny seems to have noticed that a tent that was slightly open was in the camp.

"Watch my back Lee, I'm gonna check out the tent... you two watch out for anybody else," Danny said as he walked toward the tent.

Instead of doing what he said, I watched Danny cautiously, my gun pointed to the tent.

Danny had carefully snuck up to the tent, gun drawn.

He got to the front of the tent and opened it, revealing!

Nothing... other than a mattress, what I assume is a toy and some other things.

"Clear" Danny said, sounding disappointed, "This camp's too small, it can't be their main base"

"That's what I was thinking," Lee said.

"You two, take a look around anyway, there's probably some shit around here they stole from us," Danny said to Lee and I.

Lee and I started to snoop around the place, but we found nothing other than an old camera with dead batteries. So, we went into the tent and found a picture of a girl and her mother, a bloodied toy rabbit and... after searching under a sleeping bag, Clementine's hat?

"...The hell?" Lee exclaimed in confusion.

"Don't you fucking move!" A woman shouted.
