Delilah helped around the prison with Shane for the majority of the day. Rick left with Carol and told them they were going scavenging. Delilah helped try and thin out their walker population outside the fence. Every time they spent hours out there killing walkers through the fence it barely made a dent. Delilah needed to be kept busy. Whether it was messing around with Shane or killing walkers she didn't care. Shane needed a bit of a distraction himself. Judy was locked up in quarantine office with Beth and the group of people they sent out to go get medicine are miles away.

The prison was looking as empty as ever since the outbreak. Almost everyone was sick including Glenn and Sasha. They got wind from Herschel that Dr S got sick. Shane was there talking with Herschel, Rick, and Maggie. Herschel went into the infested cell block to help Dr S and all the other sick people. Of course Maggie wasn't very fond of the idea.

"You think they've made it to the school yet?" Delilah askes, putting a piece of granola in her mouth. Shane shrugs looking off into the distance.

"Hopefully." He put his water decanter down on the table before sitting down. Delilah sighed and slouched her shoulders.

"I should've gone with them. It was stupid of me to stay." Delilah boomed, wiping sweat off her forehead.

"No. You know how they work, your brother works." Shane gave her reassurance. Delilah gave him a quick smile and slightly nodded. She looked off into the distance and spotted Maggie watching the gate.

"I'll go check on her." Delilah got up, Shane looked up and nodded. Shane agreed with her and watched her walk off.

Delilah strolled down the hill through the row of fences around the prison. Maggie spotted her coming down about halfway through her walk. Delilah approached her with a smile. "Hey." Maggie flashed Delilah a smile.

"Hey, Shane told me about Herschel. You okay?" Lilah asked, looking into the Greene's eyes. Maggie looked at her then back at the gate. "Yeah. I just wish he didn't go alone, ya know? But he was doing what he always wanted, which is helping people." She sighed off to the distance.

Delilah put her hand on Maggie's arm. "He's one tough old man." Delilah commented making Maggie let out a laugh. Delilah chuckled. Her expression changed when they heard a car approaching the gate. The two of them pulled the rope together. As the gate creeped open Rick's car drove through.

Before they closed the gate Maggie looked through the car windows briefly with a worried look on her face. Delilah noticed, "What?" She asked, concern in her voice. "Carol" Maggie told her, quickly pulling the rope closing the gate.

Delilah furrowed her eyebrows at Rick as he jogged towards them. "Carl, Judith. Are they okay?" He exclaimed.

"They are okay. Wheres Carol?" Maggie popped the question.
