Chapter 79

Chapter 79 is the second episode of Season 7: Amid The Ruins of The Walking Dead.
==Plot==
As the moon shines down through the forest, Kenny, Omid, and Javier García trample through the grass after having escaped the rest of the herd and Howe's. Kenny leans against a tree to take a breath, with Javier asking him if he needs a minute given how recent his injury was. Kenny dismisses it and says they have to keep going to try and find the others. Omid suggests the possibility that not everyone made it, seeing how Carlos and Bonnie were killed while escaping. He further adds that their plan wasn't very well thought out. Kenny asks him why he came along if he disliked the idea, to which Omid says living there was never his ideal plan, but he wasn't able to leave on his own and adds that he didn't have any other reason to leave. Kenny asks him about Sandy and Clementine, wondering why he didn't consider them being reason enough to want to get out. Annoyed by his prodding, Omid asks him what he wants him to say. Javier tells them both to keep quiet, as a few walkers begin to creep slowly toward them, but change paths and go the opposite direction. Once they're out of earshot, Javier tells them that if they have issues with each other they need to put them aside and focus on what to do next. Omid states that he has no problem with Kenny and asks what the plan was after blending into the herd to escape. Javier pulls out a map and shows Omid the destination everyone agreed to meet up; Parker's Run. Omid is mildly amused by the location, saying that he used to be really into Civil War history. Kenny tells them they need to push forward instead of waiting around, in case the others already made it and are waiting for them. The three men start walking in the direction of Parker's Run.
A few hours pass, and they make it to the war site, only to find no one else there. Kenny asks Javier if this is the right spot, to which Javier confirms that it is. Kenny walks into the memorial area and sits down, stating that they'll just have to wait for them. Omid is unsure about the chances that anyone else will make it, noting that it's been a few hours since they left already. Kenny angrily shouts at Omid, saying he's not going to give up on them, especially not Clementine and Sarita. Kenny accuses Omid of not caring about Clementine, hinting it as the reason why Omid wants to move on. Omid tells him off and says none of it is about Clementine, but him trying to think smart. Kenny mentions that Sandy had told him about what happened to Christa, before Kenny says anything else, Omid shouts to him not to bring her into this or he'll kill him on the spot. Kenny doesn't back down, but Javier gets between them and yells for them to stop. Javier decides to break the tie of staying or leaving by voting to stay and tells both of them to stop fighting. Omid walks off, saying he's going to make sure the area is secure. Kenny sighs and apologizes to Javier for losing his temper, bringing up that the first interaction they had was hostile and he doesn't mean to be. Javier tells him not to get into it and just to try and rest. Kenny says resting isn't an option for him until he sees everyone else. While looking around the area, Kenny notices that Javier pulls two pictures and laments over them. "Family photos?" Kenny asks him. Javier is a bit startled by the question, but says it's photos of his brother, David and his niece and nephew, Mariana and Gabe. Kenny asks if they're still alive, but Javier is unsure, saying that he went home when the outbreak started and found a note saying his mother had gotten bitten, prompting David to take their mom and his kids to the hospital. Javier states that he hopes they're alive and out there somewhere, but the picture reminds him of happier times. Kenny shares with him of his wife and son, telling him how they died and how much he misses them, but finds comfort in believing they're at peace, telling Javier that even if his family might not be he can hope they're peaceful wherever they are. Javier thanks him for opening up and says he believes everyone else is alright and will get here soon.
