Here we go!
Carol was so excited for her date with Daryl. She knew he probably didn't mean an actual date when he said the words but none the less she was excited. While at work she kept glancing to the clock on the wall, waiting till the clock hit 11 a.m to where she could go home and get ready for her date.
Once the clock 11 a.m, she clocked out and headed back to her apartment. She looked through what little clothes she had and picked out the nicest thing she could find. Ed never let her wear nice things so it was nice to finally be able to wear what she wanted, especially clothes that weren't covered in blood and sweat.
She fixed her hair and looked into the mirror before heading out the door. The diner was only a few blocks away from her apartment so thankfully she didn't have to rush to get there. After a short 10 minute walk Carol made it to the diner. She walked in and gave a small smile to Jessica who worked the counter. Carol sat down at a table in the back and patiently waited for Daryl.
Minutes ticked by and Daryl still hasn't shown. She glanced at the clock and read that it was 12:35 p.m. she could feel in her gut that something was wrong and that Daryl wouldn't just not show. So she gave a small nod to Jessica who watched her as she got up to leave "I'll be back in a bit!" Carol softly let out before walking out the door to head to the solider building.
She walked inside and didn't see Daryl anywhere, nor did she see Rosita. She looked around until she saw Mercer who was standing by a desk doing what looked to be like paperwork.
"Mercer"
He looked up from what he was doing and looked a bit surprised to see Carol standing in front of him, "Can I help you? Ms?"
"Carol. My name is Carol and I'm looking for D..."
"I know who you are. He's not here." Mercer quickly let out before Carol could finish what she was saying "He's off duty right now."
Carol looked a bit surprised at the response "I can't find him. He didn't meet me for lunch like he stated." Her face filled with a worry look that had Mercer concerned "It's not like Daryl to not show up. I know him. Something is wrong."
Mercer gave her a small nod, he could tell in her face that something was bothering her. He looked around and noticed Rosita wasn't there either. Which was a bit strange as she was suppose to be working for another hour. He quickly walked from the desk walking towards another guard, "Where is Dixon and Espinosa?" The other guard hesitated "I will not ask again." After a few seconds of Mercer giving the guard a death stare, he finally spoke and told Mercer they were taken on a special mission for Pamela's son. Mercer shocked his head and nodded towards Carol to come with him.
Meanwhile
Daryl looked towards Rosita and could see the worry on her face. They were locked inside and there was no way out. He kept thinking in his head that this could be it for him and he felt sick to his stomach knowing he stood Carol up on their date. Not that he wanted to, he so desperately wanted to be there, to see her.
"We'll make it out." Rosita called out. She could see that something was on his mind but she knew not to ask. Daryl wasn't the type to say what was going on inside his head, nor was he the type to let his feelings show "I don't know how but we'll figure it out. We always do."
Daryl gave her a small nod, "Think those assholes will come for us when we don't show up?" Daryl let out a small laugh "Probably not. I swear I'm going to kill that kid."
