PART ONE.
two, tell it to the frogs.

A CAR ALARM RIPPED through the silence of the camp along the wooded quarry. It was soft at first, and grew louder. At first, Faith thought it was another group of survivors or walkers had broken the glass of a vehicle some ways away. As the noise the increased, the closer the vehicle got. It was just dangerous, and Faith stood up from the lawn chair to see if she could catch a glimpse of the terrible noise.

Dale stood next to her, his binoculars in hand and up near his eyes. Everyone in the camp gathered around, sprouting questions at the older man when he barely had caught a sight himself. He let out a slight scoff just a moment, and Faith knew he had seen the cause of the alarm.

"A stolen car is my guess," Dale answered Amy's questioned as he lowered his binoculars.

Faith cracked a small smile when she finally saw the red vehicle, a man in the driver's seat. Maybe their group had made it back, all in one piece too. This is why Faith tried to stay positive- sometimes it worked.

They all stood and watched as the red car sped up the road, and flung rocks. Once the car was pulling into the camp, a few of them realized it was Glenn. He threw the vehicle into park, and got out. Everyone moved to greet him and shouted at him to turn the car off before he got them all killed. Amy shouted questions at Glenn as Shane yelled for him to pop the hood. Either way, the camp went silent when Shane finally pulled a wire out of the car and the alarm finally shut up.

Faith let out a sigh of relief- especially when Glenn reassured that the rest of the group was okay, safe. Well, all except Merle. Faith didn't mind Merle much, he was a racist and sexist pig that always made inappropriate comments, but still, the thought that Merle wasn't okay made her heart drop. Not only because losing someone was hard, but because she knew that Daryl wouldn't take it well either. From what she understood, the Dixon brothers were all the other had left in the world.

There was a bit of slight tension as Shane reprimanded Glenn for driving the car with the alarm, and Dale, bless his heart, tried to justify the young man's actions. When Shane bit back at Dale, he simply said that he wasn't arguing, just pointing out another side before he pointed at Glenn. Frankly, Faith couldn't care- she was just happy that 95% of their group was alive and breathing.

Glenn looked back at the group with a slight smile, and the tension melted away as a cargo truck slowly drove up the road. It was the rest of the survivors.

As soon as they began to pile out, Amy ran out to her sister. Morales was greeted happily by his two children and wife. The group welcomed back their members, and were thankful for their safety. Faith frowned slightly when she noticed that Lori and Carl had turned away- she recently learned that Shane was not Carl's father, which certainly threw her for a loop. Faith may have been quiet, but she saw the looks and the behavior of Lori and Shane around camp.
