Damaged || A The Walking Dead Story

The Quarry

"Best not to dwell on it. Merle got left behind. Nobody's gonna be sad he didn't come back. Except maybe Daryl" Morales tells Rick and I leaning in the middle of our seats after about five minutes of silence.

"Daryl?" Rick asks him.

"His brother" He says then looks out in front of us at Gleen swerving and then speeding up. "At least somebody's having a good day. By the way I heard you back on the roof something about people thinking you're a cop?"

"Yeah? What about it?" I ask looking at him.

"If you're not a cop then what did you do before all this?"

"I was in the military. Special forces captain to be specific" I tell him looking back out the window.

"Wow that's impressive. How old are you?"

"26 why?"

"I thought a position like that you would have been older" He says with a surprised face.

"I joined the military right after graduation and basically flew up the ranks, I was a good leader, made good choices, and a great shot so I was one of the few people that were eligible for the position" I explain still looking out the window.

"You had to have had a nickname going up the ranks that fast. What is it?" Rick asks glancing over.

"My friends and brothers call me 007" I tell them with a smile at the memories.

"Like James Bond?" Rick asks with a chuckle and a smile.

"Yep exactly like James Bond" I say turning to look at him with a smile.

After that we start driving up a dirt road and I look over at Morales and ask. "The quarry? That's where you've been staying?"

"Yeah it's not exactly perfect but it works" He says as we pull up behind a van.

Once Rick parks the truck Morales pats, mine and Ricks shoulders and says. "Come meet everybody" then walks to the back opening it Andrea jumps out and I hear her say the name Amy witch I assume is her sister followed by a woman yelling her name.

Rick looks down rubbing his face then looks at me. "What do you think?"

"Honestly?" I ask looking back at him.

"Yeah"

"I think we need to find our families"

"Yeah. We can maybe ask around, see if anyone has seen them"

"Yeah" I say then look straight ahead.

We go silent and just sit there for a little bit longer, while sitting I can kind of hear the conversation going on outside.

"New people, they got us out" Gleen says.

"New people?" A man asks.

"Yeah, crazy vato and dama just got into town. Hey helicopter boy, 007! Come say hello" Morales tells him then yells to us.

"I guess that's our cue" I say then get out and start walking around the front as Rick starts to get out.

Rick comes up to my left looking at me as I look back then we look over at everyone as Morales says. "The guy's a cop like you, and she's military"

Both of us have a surprised face when seeing the man they were talking to, him looking just as surprised if not more.

"Shane?" I whisper questioningly.

Rick then points quickly putting his hand back down whispering. "Oh my god" then starts walking forward speeding up as he goes.

"Dad! Dad!" A little boy starts yelling running to Rick who's crying.
