GLENN looked out the window, causing Allison and Maggie to do the same.

"There's something—" He said. "There's someone outside lying in the grass."

Allison ran out, wondering if it was Daryl. Maggie tried to hold on to her but she pushed past her and ran out the door.

She realized it was Bob and looked back to see Sasha running forward, screaming his name. He had one leg.

"Get Bob inside. We'll take care of them." Glenn said looking at the walkers that were coming for them.

"Can you help me? Help me. Help me." Sasha said shakily to Allison. She nodded and helped her pick Bob up. Tara joined and they made their way inside, hearing gunshots.

Everyone came inside and surrounded Bob, who was finally conscious and talking. "I was in the graveyard. Somebody knocked me out. I woke up outside this place. It looked like a school. It was that guy, Gareth. And five other ones. They were eating my leg right in front of me."

Allison felt sick to her stomach. She hoped Daryl and Carol were somewhere else and didn't have the same fate.

"Like it was nothing. All proud like they had it all figured out."

Rick asked the question Allison didn't want to know the answer to, "Did they have Daryl and Carol?"

Her jaw clinched and Maggie held onto Allison's tense hand. Bob breathed heavily. "Gareth said they drove off. They got in the car and just left."

Allison shook her head and began to back away slowly. "Alli." Maggie tried to console her. They looked down at Bob who was showing everyone his bite.

Allison's eyes began to water. Daryl left her. Bob was dying. She couldn't take it.

"There's a sofa in my office. I know it's not much, but..." Gabriel began.

Sasha looked back at him and softened her eyes. "Thank you." She whispered.

"I got him." Tyreese said, pushing past everyone to pick him up.

Allison walked away from the scene and Glenn followed her. He began to say something but Abraham got their attention, "Time for a reality check. We all need to leave for DC right now."

"We can't. Daryl and Carol, they—they'll be back. We're not going anywhere without them." Allison said.

"I respect that, but there's a clear threat here to Eugene. I need to extract his ass before things get any uglier. So if y'all won't come, good luck to you. We'll go our separate ways."

"You leaving on foot?" Rick asked him.

"We fixed that damn bus ourselves."

"There are a lot more of us." Rick said.
