The woman walking off breaks our attention from the wall "Hey hey" rick whisper yells to her but she ignores him. Hiding further we take everything off "Alright we need to down size" I pull the rifle off my back and put two clips in my pocket. "Ain't no way we're gonna check all them buildins, not with all them guards there" daryl ads and a branch snaps our guns shooting up in the direction facing the woman who points in the direction she just came.

"Alright let's go" we quickly follow keeping low to the ground. Walking through a door I raise my gun checking the dark room "This is where you were held" rick asks the woman "I was questioned" She responds and daryl walks to the windows checking outside "Any ideas where else they could be" he asks again she doesn't respond and rick goes to the other window. "I thought you said there was a curfew" daryl grunts looking back at her "The street is packed during the day those are just stragglers" "If anyone comes in here we're sitting ducks we gotta move" rick says not taking his eyes off of outside.

"They could be in his apartment" daryl and rick look back at her "Yea what If they ain't" daryl huffs walking away "Then we look somewhere else okay we've gotta find them somewhere." The desperation in my voice is clear, rick walks passed her standing in front of me "You said you could help us" he hisses "I'm doing what I can." Her voice is harsh "Then where the hell are they" oscar asks but she doesn't answer. Rick puts his hand on my arm "Hey" he whispers to the others pulling me across the room so we're standing in a circle facing the woman.

"If this goes south were cutting her loose" I look back at the woman not really focused on her just glenn and maggie. "You think she's leading us into a trap" oscar questions looking at rick "Right now it's the blind leading the blind, let's split up" daryl proposes but before rick could answer there a knock on the door. Rick pulls me behind a curtain pushing me Into the wall with his body. Our closeness makes my body heat up my palms becoming sweaty and my heart beat faster 'Please don't feel my heart'.

the only sound is the door unlocking then opening. "I know your In here I saw you moving from outside. Alright now your not supposed to be in here you know it, who's in here." A man says walking towards us but rick jumps out and pushes him into the wall."Shut up get on your knees hands behind your back, zip tie him, where are our people" rick asks "I don't know" the man's reply was shaky like he's actually afraid.

"Your holding some of our people where the hell are they" he growls getting closer to his face "I don't know" I repeats 'He must not really know' "Open your mouth" rick demands but he doesn't wait he just stuffs a cloth in his mouth. Daryl hits the back of his head knocking him out and then pulls him out of sight. The sound of gunshots give us no choice but to leave, rick puts his finger to this lips as he opens the door. Stepping out I raise my gun and follow behind the others everything on alert.

Going through a yard we make our way into a building, guns raised. Rick stops making me stop and step out a little bit just incase someone came around the corner. Moving forward we hear muffled voices so we crouch down against a metal wall. "On your feet move come on, let's go" a man says putting me in alert, daryl rick and oscar go through the bag and pull out a couple flashbangs. Rick nods his head and move to the other wall standing against it the men follow suit then a bang being heard right after. I step out but rick pushes me back, following daryl, hearing gunshots oscar and I rush over and shoot at anyone we can before we run away and out of the building.

Running out through the street I keep my gun raised and my eyes and ears trained on anything other than my family. "In there go" rick whisper yells, we run into a building oscar and the mystery woman following after me. Once I hear the door shut I run over to glenn and maggie behind an island. Tears form In my eyes from the sight of glenn having a swollen face and blood running down his body. "God glenn you look terrible" I chuckle my words thick with a few tears falling. He smiles "Thanks" his words are pain filled but his smile forces a smile from me.
