|4| only me and y/n.

"Hey are you alive in there?" Glenn asks through the radio. "Hello? Hello?" The man says. "There you are. You had me wondering". "Where are you? Outside? Can you see me?" The man asks. "Yeah we can see you. You're surrounded by walkers. That's the bad news" I say. "Theres good news?" He asks hopefully. "No" Glenn says. "That was mean" I elbow him. "Man you should see it from over here. You'd be having a major freakout." Glenn says. "glenn!" "Got any advice for me?" He asks. "Yeah. I'd make a run for it." Glenn says. "That's it? Make a run for it?" "Our way is not as dumb as it sounds. You've got eyes on the outside. Theres one geek still on the tank but the others have climbed down and joined where the horse went down. With me so far?" "So far" "ok. The street on the other side is less crowded if you move now while they're distracted you should make it. Got ammo?" "In that duffle bag I dropped out there" "forget the bag. Its not an option" I say. "What do you have on you" "hang on" he leaves for a minute. "I've got a beretta with one clip" "make them count. Jump off the right side of the tank and keep going forward. Theres an alley up the street maybe 50 yards. Be there." We say and leave to go down to the alley.

"We just saved someone" I smiled "maybe". Then gunshots sound. "Oh no. Hes gonna attract every geek for 5 miles out" I say. We see him running and he turns over and aims the gun at glenn "WOAH! NOT DEAD!" he screams. "COME ON" I scream. "BACK HERE!" he says as we start climbing up the ladder. We make it to the first floor space. "Nice moves there Clint Eastwood. You the new sherriff riding into town?" Glenn asks. I snicker. "Glenn" "it wasnt my intention" the man said. "Yeah whatever. Yeehaw. You're still a dumbass" glenn replies. I start laughing. "Rick. Thanks." He holds his hand out. "Glenn and y/n your welcome" he says. Rick shakes our hands.

"The bright side: itll be the fall that kills us. I'm a glass half full kinda guy" he says and we start climbing. We climbed up to the top. "That was terryfying" I say. "Are you guys the ones that barricaded the alley?" Rick asks. "Somebody did." I said. Glenn opens the door and we climb in. "Honey we're home!" I yell when we get to the bottom. Andrea holds a gun to Rick's head as soon as we walk in. "Andrea. Put the gun down" ed says. "We're dead. All of us. We're" she starts crying. "Every geek from miles away heard you." "You just rang the dinner bell" ed says as we see all the geeks at the door.

"Thatll only hold for so long" I say. "What were you doing out there anyway?" Andrea asks. "Flagging downs helicopter" "man their ain't no helicopter! You was chasing a hallucination" tdog says. "We should try to contact them." Jaqui says. "We got no signal" "for the refugee center?" Rick asks. "Yeah. They've got biscuits waiting n the oven for us" jaqui says. "Maybe the roof?" I ask. We hear gunshots on the roof. "Aw is that dixon?" Andrea whines. We run up the stairs. "MERLE WHAT ARE YOU DOING" I yell. "You ought to be more polite to a man with a gun!" He says. I hate merle so much. "You're wasting bullets we dont even have! You're just bringing more of them to us!" Tdog yells. "Bad enough I got this taco bender on me all day! Now I'm gonna take orders from you?" He says to him.

They start fist fighting and rick goes to break them apart. He handcuffs merle to a pipe. We go downstairs to make a plan. "You sure this is the place" ed asks. "Yeah. I scoped this place out. Never went down though. I mean, who would want to?" Glenn says. "We'll be right behind you." Andrea says. "No you won't. This will be only me and y/n." "Think I cant?" Andrea says. "No. It's been me and y/n. The first time we bring a group here itll all go south. If you want us to go down this gnarly hole. Fine. But it's going to be me and y/n"

"Jaqui stays here. Something happens she yells." Glenn says. "Ok you ready?" He asks. "Yep" time to go down a nasty hole.
