The next day Alexis woke up to Lexa shaking her to get her out of her bed. Alexis groaned as her friend continued to shake her over and over until Alexis got up.

"Do you mind?" Alexis asked standing from her bed and putting her jacket on.

Lexa laughed, "Come on everyones downstairs eating." She explained before walking out.

Alexis finished getting ready and walked down to the eating area grabbing a bowl and sitting between Glenn and Carl, both of them smiling at her when she sat down.

"Everyone okay?" A voice asked.

Rick appeared behind a metal door peaking inside at them.

"Yeah we are." Maggie replied.

"What about you?" Hershel asked.

"I cleared out the boiler block." Rick didn't really answer the question, as he walked behind Carl.

"How many were there?" Daryl asked.

"I don't know, a dozen, two dozen. I have to get back, I just wanted to check on Carl." Rick explained, patting Carl on the back before walking towards the door he just entered.

"Rick we can handle taking out the bodies." Glenn said, standing up from his seat. "You don't have-."

Rick cut Glenn off, "No, I do." Rick then walked toward Daryl, "Everyone have a gun or a knife?"

"Yeah. We're running low on ammo, though." Daryl explained.

"Maggie and I were planning on making a run this afternoon. Found a phone book with some places we can hit, look for bullets and formula." Glenn explained.

"We cleared out the generator room." Daryl added, "Axel's there trying to fix it in case of an emergency. We're gonna sweep the lower levels as well."

"Good." Rick paused walking toward the door he entered, "Good."

"Rick!" Hershel yelled, but Rick was already gone.

Alexis walked over to Glenn, "Hey would you mind if me and Lexa tagged alone? I was gonna see if I can find anymore medicine that we can actually use."

Glenn nodded, "Of course."

Alexis smiled patting him on the shoulder before walking over to Lexa explaining the situation.

Later that day the four arrived at a shop stopping in front of it, all of them step out and look around for any walkers outside. "Clear outside." Maggie said.

"All right, let's take a look." Glenn replied before heading into the store.

Lexa and Alexis went in first since Glenn and Maggie decided to have a make-out session. Lexa opened the door with bolt cutters before opening it. Three birds flew out of the store making the group duck down. "Holy shit." Alexis muttered before walking into the store. After about fifteen minutes Glenn walked outside to Maggie while Alexis and Lexa browsed the medicine isle.

"So what exactly am I looking for?" Lexa asked, shinning her flashlight on the remaining pill bottles.

Alexis chuckled, "Just grab it and I'll tell you if it's useful."

Lexa started grabbing the pills while Alexis headed out front to put some of the medicine away. She froze when she saw the scene in front of her. Glenn and Maggie had their guns pointed at a man, but that wasn't any man.
