"Do kids love getting hurt nowadays or something?" I asked when I found my dad and Lydia looking at Henry's leg wound a while later, Connie standing on the balcony outside. "Getting hurt is my thing."

"I can tell." Henry quipped. "How's your hip?"

"How's your leg? That's what we should be asking." I ask. "Can you walk?"

"Yeah." He nodded. "Maybe."

"Good, I ain't carrying you." I replied. "I just got thrown around like a test dummy."

"Great." Henry laughed.

"You okay?" Lydia perked up and looked at me.

"I am on top of the world." I snort.

"We should go." Dad said nodding at Connie.

"You figure out where we're going?" Henry asked.

"Alexandria's closest." Dad replied. "So we'll get you stitched up there."

"No, we can't." Henry said. "If her people find out we're there, everybody..."

"Hell, we ain't staying." Dad replied firmly. "We'll get you back in your foot, and then we'll move on. All of us."

"No." Lydia interjected.

"No, but...where are we going?" Henry asked.

"I heard there's a whole world out there." Dad said. "Come on."

Connie and Lydia helped take hold of Henry to make sure he walks, as my dad and I headed towards the stairs a bit in front.

"Hey, you okay?" He said noticing my limp.

I nodded. "I think I twisted my ankle when Beta slammed me into that wall. It appears that the left side of my body hates me."

"Nah," My dad replied, swinging his crossbow over his shoulder so that the weapon fell on his chest. He crouched down and gestured to his back.

I laughed. "No way? Is this a serious one?"

"Yeah, this is a serious piggyback." Dad said. "Get in before I chance my mind."

"Awesome." I said with a massive grin on my face and jumped onto my dad's back. "I haven't had a piggy back in years."

"Last time I gave you a piggy back was when you were lighter." Dad replied and I kicked him.

"Bit rude. Last time I got a piggy back was when Carl almost dropped me in the lake back at Alexandria." I thought back with a smile.

"I remember giving Beth one a while ago." He replied. "Ages ago."

"I miss her, she was like a big sister." I sigh. "And hey, when you say all of us, that still includes me and you yeah?" I asked.

"Yep, and them three." He replied.

"What about CJ?" I asked. "I can't just leave him.
