𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐀𝐓 𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 as he could so he could see over Daryl's shoulder. It had been a week since the CDC and the group was still on the road.
Abandoned cars were scattered all over the interstate making it hard for the group to drive. Daryl and Dean rode up ahead of the others to see if there was a clear path.
"I think they can make it!" Dean spoke loud enough Daryl could hear him over the motorcycle.
Daryl gave a curt nod and found a place to turn around. They rode back the way they came and stopped by the Rv. Dale leaned out the window. "See a way through?"
Daryl looked back towards the abandoned cars and nodded for Dale to follow behind the bike. They're moving once again that was until the Rv made a loud noise and smoke started coming out.
Everyone started unloading from the cars. "I said it. Didn't I say it?" Dale spoke, walking around to the front of the Rv. "A thousand times. Dead in the water."
"Problem, Dale?" Shane questioned the old man.
"Just the small matter of being stuck in the middle of nowere with no hope of—" Dale stopped talking when he saw the Dixon brothers looking through a station wagon's trunk. "Okay, that was dumb."
Daryl handed Dean a pack of napkins and the boy shrugged, tucking them under his arm. "If you can't find a radiator hose here..." Shane shook his head.
"There's a whole bunch of stuff we can find." Daryl pulled out a pink back back and started to look through it.
"I can siphon more fuel from these cars for a start." T-dog said, walking to the station wagon.
"Maybe some water." Carol hoped.
"Or food." Glenn added looking back.
"This is a graveyard." Lori stated and everyone looks at her and around awkwardly. "I don't know how I feel about this."
It was quiet for a few seconds. Everyone was thinking about what Lori had said. But they couldn't be thinking about that stuff anymore... It'll get them killed. "All right, all right, here we go." T-dog said.
"Come on, y'all. Just look around, gather what you can." Shane instructed and the group started to branch off to look around.
Dean laid the pack of napkins down and headed over to Carl and Sophia. The three followed behind Carol and Lori.
Lori and Carol looked through the windows of a car. "Kids, don't look." Carol told the three as she and Lori continued to walk.
Carl and Dean do the exact opposite and looked. In the passenger seat was a dead person and flies were swarming around the corpse. Carol gently grabbed their shoulders and pulled them away.
The five stopped, Lori and Carol started to look through some cars. The three kids started to wonder off. "Hey, Carl. Always within my sight, okay? You too Dean." Lori said, looking around the car she was searching.
Carl nodded and Dean shrugged not seeing why he would be Lori's responsibility. "You too, Sophia." Carol added and Sophia gave a small nod.
The three walked off and started peeking through the windows of cars. "Woah, Dean check it out." Carl said in awe as he looked through one of the windows.
Dean walked over and stood beside his friend. He used his hand to make it easier to look through the window. In the passenger backseat was a box of what looks to be comic books. "Dude we need at least five of 'em." Dean said with a huge smile. He went to open the door but stopped hearing Rick whisper-shouting something.
"Carl, Dean, Sophia, get down now." Rick pointed under the cars from a few feet away.
Carl and Dean quickly dropped to the ground and crawled under the car they were standing at while Sophia went under the truck beside them. Rick slid under a different vehicle on the other side of Dean and Carl's hiding place. Not even a few seconds later dozens of walkers started to stagger through.
Dean bit his lip to keep from gasping. He hadn't ever seen that many walkers, not since Atlanta fell. As more walkers started passing through Carl and Dean both scooted further into the middle until their shoulders and elbows were touching. Surprisingly enough, feeling their arms touch gave the boys some sort of comfort that they weren't alone and that everything would be okay.
Finally what seemed to be the last of the walkers past by. It felt like they had been stuck under the cars for hours to Dean, but in reality it was more like fifteen, twenty minutes.
Thinking that they were in the clear Sophia started to slide out from under the truck but there was a Walker still trying to pass by and it noticed her. Panicked Sophia went back under the truck and the Walker followed, not knowing what to do she slid out the other end while screaming. She slid under the gaurd rail followed by two walkers and soon Rick was right behind her.
Most everyone got out from under the cars and ran to the guard rail. "There's two walkers after my baby." Carol cried, wanting nothing more than to run after her daughter.
"Shh shh." Lori wrapped her arms around Carol.
Dean looked back at Daryl and the man gave him a slight head shake which meant “don't you think about going over that rail if you know what's good for ya”

𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐓 Sophia, so he, Glenn, Shane and Daryl went back out to look for her. Dean wanted to go and Daryl was very close to letting he come but decided against it knowing that enough people already thought he made bad decisions when it came to raising Dean those people were mainly Lori and Carol.
To be totally honest Dean wasn't to certain that they'd find Sophia... not alive at least. As awful as it sounded, he knew that his friend was weak. She didn't grow up like Dean and his brothers. While Dean was learning to hunt, fish and other basic survival things, Sophia was learning how to do math and making friends. If the roles would have been swapped and Dean would've been out in the woods he's certain he'd be fine. But that's not how things are, he's not the one in the woods.
