Callie POV:

     I sit next to Shane with a sigh. "Where's Emma?" He asks. "She's with Morales's wife and kids with Sophia and Carl. I don't want her to see or smell any of this," I tell him gesturing to the dead bodies.

    He nods and softly pats my back. I adjust my gun strap then wipe the sweat off my forehead. God it's hot today. "She still won't move?" Rick asks us walking up.

    I frown sadly and look towards Andrea who hasn't moved from her sister's body. "She won't even talk to us. She's been there all night," Lori tells him. "

Can't just leave Amy like that. We need to deal with it. Same as the others," Shane says with a touch of guilt in his voice. I look down sadly, remembering when Frank and I had to shoot our friend, Curtis.

He got bit saving Emma and I since Frank was busy shooting walkers. It was a month into the apocalypse, we went on an errand run for supplies when a group of walkers caught us off guard.

We managed to survive but it costed Curtis's life. He sacrificed himself to save Emma, Frank, and I's life. While the dead were busy with Curtis we escaped but not before Frank and I shot Curtis in the head so he wouldn't suffer.

    "Callie, you ready? Callie?" A hand on my shoulder brought me out of my thoughts and I look up with slightly water eyes at Frank. "What's wrong?" He asks with concern in his eyes.

    I chuckle sadly and stood up wiping my eyes. "Nothing, I- I was just thinking of Curtis," he frowns sadly and brings me in for a hug. I wrap my arms around his waist and lay my head on his chest. "He's watching over us, Cals. Just like Amy," he kisses my head.

      I nod with sigh. "Frank, don't take this the wrong way but you smell," I mumble into his chest. He scoffs, pushing me away from him a little and playfully glares at me.

     "You don't smell good either, little sister," he makes a face at me making me hit his arm. But he's right, none of us smell good at the moment. Frank and I stop in my tracks as Andrea pulls a gun on Rick. Rick backs up slowly with his hands up.

............

   
    "Y'all can't be serious. Let that girl hamstring us? The dead girl's a time bomb," Daryl tells us. "What do you suggest?" Frank asks looking at him.

    Daryl walks closer to him and lowers his voice. "Take the shot. Clean, in the brain from here. Hell, I can hit a turkey between the eyes from this distance. I'm pretty sure you and your sister can too," he says. Yeah we could but we wouldn't do that to Andrea.

     "No. For god's sake, let her be," Lori tells us and sits down on the chair. We all look at each other and shrug. Daryl scoffs and walks off. Frank nudges me and I nod.

We grab a dead camper and start dragging him to the pile next to the RV. Glenn told us it was for our people not the geeks. We move out of the way as Daryl and Morales drag another body to the pile with Daryl complaining.

"You know what? Shut up, man," Morales tells him and lets go of the body. Daryl storms off. "Y'all left my brother for dead. You had this coming," he angrily yells at us. I roll my eyes at his childish fit.

Frank and I walk to a dead walker and grab it by the arms and legs. We start walking to the fire with it. "Then show me," Jacqui says loudly making everybody turn to her and Jim.

Frank and I throw the walker in the fire and watch them talk confused on what's happening. "A walker got him. A walker bit Jim," she frantically tells us all backing away from Jim.
