GENESIS | THE WALKING DEAD • OC X OC | ON HOLD

The only noise was Carol sobbing in Daryl's arms.

She ran back to the RV in tears, and everyone was silent.

Beth made her way to the front, and Rick tried to stop her. She knelt in front of a woman with blood on her cheek.

"Ma..." She cried. The geek attacked her, grabbed her ponytail, and Beth let out a scream. Shane and Rick pulled Beth away from the geek, and Glenn held its hands away. I put a bullet into the geek's head without another thought.

Rick, Shane, and Glenn followed the four landowners up to the house, leaving us down by the barn.

"Hey, hey. What are you doing?" Rick asked Shane.

"Daryl almost died looking for her Rick. Gen was assaulted by a guy when we went looking for her, she fell through floorboards another time. Any one of us could have. I'm gonna tell you right now, that son of a bitch, he knew." Shane spewed out words, not even realizing what he said about Gen.

Rick had noticed though.

"He didn't know. He's not like that. He opened his home to us." Rick said, deciding not to ask Shane about Gen.

"Put us all in danger. Man, he kept a barnful of walkers."

"So you just start an insurrection, hand out guns, and massacre his family?" Rick asked.

"His family's dead, Rick."

"Well, he doesn't believe that. He thinks you just murdered them in cold blood." Rick pointed to the house.

"No, man, I don't care what he thinks."

"I was handling it, brother. I was handling it and you just," Rick started.

"You had us out in those woods looking for a little girl that every single one of us knew was dead! That's what you did. Rick, you're just as delusional as that guy." Shane walked away.

Genesis' View

Andrea, T-Dog, and I were making sure the geeks were dead, while Daryl went to fall to Carol.

Shane and Rick were walking back, and Rick had his eyes on me.

"You want us to start burying?" I asked, standing between T and Jimmy, who decided to help.

"We need a service. Carol would want that." Andrea suggested.

"Yeah, we all want that." T agreed with her.

"We should dig a grave for Sophia, Annette, and Shawn. Over by the trees." I suggested.

"We'll need a truck to move the bodies," Lori added.

"I'll get the keys." Jimmy started to walk towards the house.

No. I got the truck." Shane said and walked away.

"Gen, can we talk?" Rick walked over to me. "It's important."

"Yeah," I said, and he and I walked away from the group.

"What happened that day, when you and Shane went to look for Sophia?"
