"Patricia, get the lights."

"I'm going get the guns." Jade said with a nod as she jogged alongside her brother who was racing upstairs with Lori to get the kids.

Jade ran inside, kneeling down beside the other supplies they had stacked in the corner of the dining room as she rifled through it, finally abled to grab the bag of guns. She ran outside, putting the bag on the ground before starting to hand the guns out to the others.

She loaded her own rifled machine gun as her brother moved outside, holding his daughter who was trembling out of fear, having seen the walkers from the second floor window.

"Has anyone seen Carl?!" Lori shouted as she ran out the house, wiping the sweat off her forehead. "He's gone."

"What?"

"He.. He was upstairs, and I can't find him." Lori cried.

"Theodora, have you seen Carl?" Maggie questioned, looking at the crying brunette girl over Nick's shoulder where Theodora's chin rested.

"He told me he was going to find you.." Theodora answered in a whine. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lori."

"It's alright, honey, you didn't do anything wrong." Maggie assured, holding onto the young girl's hand.

"I'm not leaving without my boy!" Lori shouted.

"None of us are making you, Lori. How about you and Carol go look inside again." Jade spoke calmly, as she rubbed Lori's arms who nodded frantically before running back inside with Carol.

"Look, with the numbers we can see, there's no reason to try this." Daryl explained as he gazed off towards the crowd of walkers.

"You all can go if you want." Hershel said.

"What, are you going to take them all on by yourself?" Jade questioned with a light laugh.

"We have guns. We have cars." Hershel described.

"Kill as many as we can, use the cars to get away." Maggie finished.

"Are you serious?" Glenn asked.

"This is my farm." The Greene man said with a sigh. "I'll die here."

"Hell, good a night as any." Daryl agreed with a nod, hoping over the fence.

"I'll get the RV, try and draw 'em away." Jade explained, reaching into her pocket for the keys.

"I'll come with you, I'm a good shot." Jimmy spoke. "It's also pretty safe in there."

"I'll come too." Glenn said moving towards Jade.

"No, you stay here. You need to help the others." Jade replied holding out a hand to stop him in his tracks.

"What? No way. I'm staying with you." Glenn repeated.

"I'll be fine. Just help everyone else." Jade insisted watching as he reluctantly nodded before giving her a quick kiss.

"I love you." Glenn whispered, assuring no one else would hear.

"I know. I'll see you soon, ok?" Jade spoke with a smile before turning to walk towards the RV.

"Jade." Nick started, causing his sister to stop walking. "Take Theodora, Jimmy's right, it's safe in there. Both of just make it out." He spoke, putting his daughter onto the ground. "I love you, sweetheart. Listen to Jade and everything will be just fine." Theodora nodded as she latched onto Jade's arm, following right beside her as they moved into the RV.
