(Naomie's Pov)

So let's just say, from what I could hear, though the small cracks in the Rv window. Daryl didn't take the news about his brother well. He actually took really bad, seeing he attacked Officer Shane and Mr Grimes with a knife... also threw the squirrels he was carrying at Mr Grimes head. Which is kinda funny. I mean, I didn't expect any less, but I didn't expect him to try and kill them. Today is full of surprises. So Mr Grimes agreed to go back with Daryl to get Merle. Mrs Lori didn't seem very pleased by that. Nor did Officer Shane...

I was sitting on the ground next to Carl playing with the dirt underneath us. Mrs Lori was behind Carl shaking her head at Mr Grimes leaving. While Officer Shane continued to argue over how stupid his plan was.

"Could you just tell me why? Why would you risk your life for a douche bag like Merle Dixon?!" Shane asked aggressively. Well that was an interesting choice of words to call him with Daryl sitting a few feet away.

"Hey, choose your words more carefully!" Daryl snapped at Officer Shane.

"No, I did. Douche bags what I men't." The man said. I coughed trying to cover up my very small laugh. Daryl looked over at me rolling his eyes. It was just a little funny. Carl looked at me with wide eyebrows and his lips in a fine line, basically saying he was trying not to laugh to. "Merle Dixon.. the guy wouldn't give you a glass of water if you were dying of thirst." True.. he'd probably give you some sort of alcohol instead.

"What he would or wouldn't do doesn't interest me. I can't let a man die of thirst.. me. Thirst and exposure. We left him like an animal caught in a trap. That's no way for anything to die, let alone a human being." Mr Grimes explained. Then here we where.. Officer Shane ready to let six people die after they went to get us supplies. I'm starting to see why they argue so much.

"So you and Daryl, that's your big plan?" Lori asked titling her head in disbelief.

"Sounds like a cool team to me." I added trying to lighten the mood.

"Omie." I heard Pop cough. I turned to look at him shaking his head for me to not interfere with the adults conversation. I looked back at the group to see Mr Grimes staring intensely at Glenn. Oh!

"Oh, come on!" Glenn groaned.

"You know the way. You've been there before... in and out, no problem. You said so yourself. It's not fair of me to ask.. I know that, but I'd feel a lot better with you along. I know she would to." Mrs Grimes explained, nodding towards Mrs Lori. Glenn's fast, probably the fastest person in camp, so I understand why he's a smart person to bring. At the same time... I don't want him to leave again. They almost died last time. Glenn hesitated before agreeing.

"That's great. Now your gonna risk three men, huh?l" Officer Shane spoke even more annoyed then before. Wasn't he willing to let half the group die after they... stay out of it Naomie.

"Four." I heard T say. I shot my head up to look at him. Man, their taking all the funny people with them. Daryl scoffed, looking away to clean his arrows.

"My day just keeps getting better and better dont it?" he asked. That was defiantly sarcasm. But why would he be mad over more help to find his brother who, got himself into this mess in the first place. Uh, adults really confuse me.
