I Am Here (TWD)

Part 14

These eggs need some salt, I stick some in my mouth. When I noticed Glenn looking back at the house, I noticed Maggie on the front porch giving him a death stare. Glenn looked at me for help and all I could do was shrug, he needs to tell everyone eventually. Then he turned to Dale who easily nodded his head. Shit, he's going to ruin breakfast. He gets up and walks towards everyone, Hold up, I followed him grabbing his arm.

"This isn't the time. I haven't finished my eggs." I whispered and he pushed my hand away.

"Um, guys." He starts.

Shit.

"So, the barns full of walkers." He says and I sighed. Everyone stops as if someone had paused a tv, it was that serious. Everyone gets up and heads to the barn, goddammit, my fucking eggs.

Shane peeps through the door slabs, hearing the growls again made me sick.

"You cannot tell me you're okay with this." Shane tells Rick.

"I'm not. But we're guest here, this isn't our land." He says.

"This is our lives!" Shane raised his voice

"Lower your voice." Glenn says.

"We can't just sweep this under the rug." Andrea imputs without anyone asking her.

Everyone just needs to chill.

"This ain't right. Not remotely." Shane grumbles. "We either gotta go in there, make this right or we've just gotta go. Now we have been talking about Fort Benning for a long time now."

"We can't go." Rick says firmly.

"Why Rick? Why not?" He asked.

Lots of reasons, you jerk.

"Because my daughter is still out there."  Carol says.

"Okay- Carol-" he tries not to laugh. "I think its time we all just start to consider the other possibility."

"Jesus, stop being so insensitive." I crossed my arms tightly, as my brother pushed me, tell me to stay out of it.

"We're not leaving Sophia behind." Rick tells him.

"I'm close to finding this girl. I just found her damn doll two days ago." Daryl argued.

"You found her doll, Daryl. That's what you found a doll." Shane is such an asshole.

"Man, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.!" Daryl switched up his attitude.

"I'm just saying what needs to be said. You get a good lead, its in the first 48 hours!"

"Shane, stop." Rick says.

"Let me tell you something else, man. If she was out there alive and saw you coming all methed out, your buck knife, geek ears around your neck, she would run in the other direction."

They all started shouting at each as Rick tried to keep them apart. At this point, why am I even surprised by Shane's antics and desperate attempt to be leader. I've finally figured out what he's obsessed with and it ain't Rick, it's Lori and Carl. That's all he cares about, so that child might be his...

"Keep your hands off me!" Shane pushed Lori away.

"Let me talk to Hershel. Let me figure it out." Rick says.

"What are you gonna figure out!?" He shouted.

"If we're gonna stay, if we're going to clear this barn, I have to talk him into it, this is his land." Rick tells him.

"Hershel sees those things in there as people- Sick people." Dale intrudes. "His wife, his stepson."

"You knew?" Asked Rick.
