Trust was a hard thing to give away, for Kendra anyway. It was a hard thing to earn from her because she was so scared to get hurt, but she had trusted the man who saved them, and he lied. There was no way out, they were stuck and they were all gonna die, there was no cure to save people from the dead.
People were scared, and everyone was running around trying to break down the doors grabbing their belongings and crying. Kendra stood beside Rick who held onto her hand tightly as she stared at the grimes boy who was standing with Shane. "i told you, those doors don't open after the shut" Jenner simply stated as he stared at Rick.
"You have to let us out you're killing us all" Rick calmly replied his eyes boring into the man's. Shaking his head Jenner walked away with his head hung low while drinking from a bottle of wine.
Rick walked back to the others telling them what was going on while Kendra stood still, like it was a game of tug of war she stood in the center of everyone, the group to her left and Jenner to her right. Looking between everyone Kendra slowly walked towards Jenner a frown on her face as she sat down beside him.
Sitting down besides the man with her arms folded over her chest with a frown leaning back into the chair she pushed a strand of hair behind her ears as she stared blankly at the screen counting down to zero.
"I can't open the doors Kendra" the man spoke quickly as she stared at the television with a blank stare. Shrugging her shoulders, her eyes didn't look anywhere but the numbers counting down. "I never said anything" Kendra spoke softly as she sent him a glance before looking back to the television. The numbers going down so slowly it sent a pit to the girls stomach. "But since I'm over here and the doors are still closed" she mumbled side eyeing the man with a frown.
"If you don't open those doors you're killing us, you're killing everyone in here including the last bit of you're wife" Kendra mumbled softly as she turned to look at the man fully. Frowning her eyes blank and her mouth wanting to shut and never open, but she had to do something since Rick couldn't get past Jenner's brick wall. "she wouldn't want this and I think we both know that" Kendra mumbled standing up pushing in the rolling chair, her hands fiddling with the chain around her neck. "At least try to open the door, for her" Kendra mumbled turning on her heel and walking away from the man. Leaving him to think about what she had told him. Leaving him alone to suffocate in his guilt.
Standing from his seat Jenner called out for Rick, pushing a simple button Jenner whispered something to Rick before pushing him away and telling them to hurry and leave.
And that's what they did. They ran like bats out of hell away from cdc, Kendra's heart beat in her chest so loud she was sure walkers would hear it and come running.
