CHAPTER FOUR, PART TWO.

they headed back onto the road, they all felt..hopeless, they'd find camp again, but they couldn't give up, not like this.

shane couldn't get the image out of his head, of doctor jenner just sat there, his brains blown out, I mean, you see a lot of shit as a police officer but..this was fucked.

his mind wasn't right at the minute, that he knew, everything was wrong, his mind, lori being with..him. why did rick deserve her? at the end of the day HE saved her, him, and his kid. she should be grateful, I saved her, he just comes in again and their all loved up?

he's been more of a dad to carl than rick has been his entire life. that's a fact.

(keep talking shane, trust me, nobody believes you 😁)

"shane, you there?" Rick asked, snapping his finger in front of his face, he jumped, "ah, yeah man, what's up?" he questioned, looking to rick, gripping his pistol in his hand.

"we're gonna siphon some gas and look around from some supplies, check the boots, stay close by, use your whistle if you see anything." Rick explained, patting Shane's shoulder before walking off.

Tammy had given Rick, Shane, Glenn, Lori, carol, Jacqui and Amy whistles to use, just in case of danger, and every child had a supervisor. Lori was in charge of Carl, Carol was in charge of Sophia, and she kept her eye on cassie too, sometimes, and Tammy was in charge of her younger sister.

"stay close alright?" Tammy says, looking down to her sister, cassie nods as she spoke again, "here, don't tell the others, you need this to protect yourself, I won't baby you." Tammy adds, slipping her younger sister her blade, "this was dads, so look after it alright? if you look after it, I'll let you keep it forever okay?"

Cassie smiles and nods, "thanks tam." she says, taking the blade, slipping it into her pocket, brining her fingers to her lips, doing a zipping motion, she giggles, earning a chuckle from her sister.

"let's check out that truck over here, might have some new clothes for us, especially shoes for you, bless you." tammy says, tucking a strand of loose hair behind her ear from her braid.

Cassie nods, trailing behind.
They open the trunk, two suitcases sat in the back, tammy unzips the turquoise one, piles of clothes inside, mouthwash, feminine hygiene products, and a pair of trainers, size 5 and a half, perfect.

"put these on cass, their your size." she says, handing the trainers to her sister, "okay, thanks." she mumbled, placing down a toy she had found in the brown suitcase.

she had a toy like that, her mother had got that for her for her last birthday she had before all of this, she kinda wished she could go back to then, when she could just be a kid.

she was so confused on why she had to grow up so fast, she wanted to just be a kid. to be honest, she hadn't been close to tammy before, she still wasn't too close with her, but they were all each other had got, so she wouldn't complain. she had always been closest to her mother out of anybody, but she had always looked up to her dad. she wanted to make him proud, she wanted to make both of her parents proud. she kept tammy close, she was so scared of being alone, stuck with herself.

"-Well, cass?" Tammy says, a soft look on her face. "how do the uh, shoes fit?" she asks, looking down to her feet.

"uh, yeah pretty good." she says, "yeah, thanks for getting those."

"welcome, find anything useful?" tammy asked, gesturing with her hand to the brown suitcase, cassie shook her head, "just toys, and uh, watches, and more toys." she explains, "ah."

someone roughly shook tammys shoulder, "you two, get under a car, there's a hoard."glenn whispers, tammys eyes widen, she grabs her sister and crouched down, "climb under, quick." she whispers, watching her as cassie obeys and slides under the truck.
"glenn, you too." she adds, nodding to under the truck. he nods, getting on the ground and doing the same, tammy fit under.

"everyone else okay?" tammy whispered. he nods, placing a finger to his lips as a gesture to say 'please be quiet I don't wanna die today'

she nods and looks to cassie, she looked scared. "we'll be okay." she whispered before keeping quiet.

cassie gripped onto glenn's arm, "sorry just scared." she whispered lightly.

he nods, making sure to keep her safe in his grip, his gaze lands on tammy, whose staring at the walkers feet stumble by.
