The group rushed out of the hideout carrying half of the guns they came with, Glenn and Addie trailing behind. Glenn looked around at their faces confused about where Rick was.

"Hey, hey slow down," Glenn shouted over to Shane.

Shane looked at the pair, "what?"

"Where the hell is Rick?" Glenn pressed him.

"Went back to camp," Shane shared, confused with the urgency of the question.

"What? Why? We need him here," He stated looking over to the younger girl her face consumed with worry as well.

"And why the hell is that?" He snapped sick of the questions.

"It's Jacey!" Shane face turned to stone at that name.

"How the hell do you know that name?!" The man yelled in his face.

"She's alive," Glenn nervously told him.

"What?"

"Jacey, she's alive. She's in Addie's group." Shane looked at the boy shocked and stepped away, a little.

"She's here in Atlanta. That girl that was with Addie, that was her," Glenn smiled at him happy to partake in this reunion and happy for his new friend to get his daughter back.

"Who the hell is Jacey?" Daryl asked slinging his crossbow over his shoulder.

"R-Rick's other kid," Shane muttered the realisation finally setting in. Daryl mumbled an 'oh' and distracted himself from the situation he didn't feel the need to be involved in, by shooting any nearby walkers

"She can't be. She died, I saw her die," He insisted to which Addie shook her head.

"She told me that she fell with a biter - it pushed her right?" Shane nodded, "She hit her head and the biter that was on her was about to kill her until you killed it. She tried to call out to you. I guess you didn't hear her. You left her behind that night but she's alive. I swear to you she is." The older man looked at Addie completely frozen. How could he have left her behind? He really thought she died.

"Rick needs to see her, Shane," Glenn declared snapping Shane out of his daze.

"Y-yeah he does." Shane ran his hand through his hair, subconsciously, "But how do you suppose we do that? I'm sure you understand how big Atlanta is and s-shes just a kid. She could be lost o-or..." He trailed off.

"I assure she is not just a kid officer. She's saved my life more times then you could imagine," Shane smiled softly to the girl, "and as for finding her, I know exactly where she'll be."

Jacey rounded the corner struggling against the rancid odour of the walkers that were closer then she liked. She still hadn't found Addie and minute by minute she was losing hope that she actually would. The girl sighed, hatching a new plan, which she thought would be best, to go to their meeting point and just hope that she shows up eventually.
