"Daryl you cover the back" I heard Shane order and then felt a hand on my arm and jumped seeing it was Daryl just trying to get me moving
"Get your stuff come on" he snapped and I grabbed the bedroll I just threw to the ground and began following everyone else inside. Once inside we all were on high alert looking around for anything dangerous but were only met with silence.
"Close those doors" Rick ordered and I turned to see Daryl in the back and me being the closest one to him I moved over to help him close the second door as quietly as we could manage.
"Hello?" a voice called out and we all heard a gun cock signaling it was loaded and ready to be used. Everyone with a weapon turned to the voice and raised our own weapons ready to defend ourselves. We only saw a man with a white t-shirt and black sweatpants on standing there with an automatic weapon aimed right at us "anybody infected?" he asked us
"One of our group was...he didn't make it" Rick answered truthfully and by the sound of his voice I could tell he still felt pain
"Why are you here?-what do you want?" He asked, keeping to the point as he slowly walked forward to see us all better.
"A chance" Rick replied simply. We didn't have time to waste since the doors were glass and breakable.
"That's asking an awful lot these days" the man replied, stepping closer. I grinded my teeth wanting to move this along but I bit my tongue and let Rick do all the talking
"I know" Rick admitted. The man took his time to look to each and every one of us before finally speaking
"You all submit to a blood test-that's the price of admission" he explained.
"We can do that" Rick replied. I grew tense and panicked again. I had a fear of needles. I should have mentioned this before.
"You got stuff to bring in you do it now once this door closes it stays closed" The man pointed out the door as he lowered his gun. Rick, Shane, Glenn, and T-dog left to gather any leftover things outside while Daryl and I watched the rest of the group. Once the door was closed the stranger moved over to a keypad and punched in a code and slid a security badge "VI seal the main entrance. Kill the main power up here" he spoke into a small speaker
Once the shutter was sealed everyone relaxed just a little bit more. Rick introduced himself to the stranger and we learned the man's name was 'Dr. Edwin Jenner' With that said Jenner led us through the main entrance and to a specific elevator that only had one button. I loaded in with Daryl and we stood in the back and everyone else loaded in as well. He pressed the button and the doors closed and we started to move.
"Doctors always go around packing heat like that?" Daryl finally asked, breaking the god awful awkward silence in the elevator.
"There were plenty enough lying around. I familiarized myself" Jenner replied looking over to him then to the rest of us "But you look harmless enough" he said then stopped as he looked at Carl "except you...I have to keep my eye on you" jenner said getting Carl to smile just a little bit. He seemed to put them at ease at least.
Finally the elevator stopped and the doors opened up letting everyone off and Jenner just kept walking
"Are we underground?" Carol asked Jenner suddenly and I was a bit curious if we were myself even if the one botton seemed obvious.
"You claustrophobic?" Jenner asked
"A little" Carol answered but I could hear the slight fear in her voice
"Try not to think about it" Jenner told her simply as we came to the end of the hall where a large room waited for us. "VI bring up the lights in the big room" Jenner spoke and the lights turned on. I was not surprised that this was called 'the big room' but I was a bit disappointed. Like he said it was a big room and not square like normal but round and screens covered the far wall and under it a small walkway then a center raised platform with two rows of computers. Everything was off but the lights that lit up the whole area. "Welcome to zone 5" Jenner told us
