Oh, 'cause they will run you down, down 'til the dark
Yes and they will run you down, down 'til you fall
And they will run you down, down 'til you go
Yeah, so you can't crawl no more

Rosanna and Glenn waste no time, rushing down the stairs. The others follow close behind.
Glenn leads Rosanna out through an exit that doesn't have too many rotters around. They rush down towards the sounds of gunfire. The rest stay back in the building.
Glenn opens a metal gate in an alley, and they come face to face with the man over the radio who is holding a gun to Glenn's face.
"Woah! Not dead! Come on! Come on! Back here! Come on! Come on!"
Glenn leads the way followed by Rosanna and the mystery sheriff. Glenn ushers her up the ladder first and he goes second, calling out to the man below. "What are you doing? Come on! Come on, get up!"
The man climbs up after them. Once up on the platform all three stand panting for a second.
"Nice moves there, Clint Eastwood. You the new sheriff come riding in to clean up the town?"
The man shakes his head. "It wasn't my intention."
"Yeah, whatever. Yeehaw. You're still a dumbass."
Rosanna coughs out a laugh at that.
"Rick. Thanks"
"Glenn. You're welcome."
Rick nods his head to Rosanna.
She nods back "Rosanna. Nice to meet you... officer?"
"Just Rick is fine."
Glenn glances down to see rotters surrounding the ladder. "Oh no... the bright side: it'll be the fall that kills us. I'm a glass half full kinda guy"
The three climb the ladder to the roof of a building next to the building the rest of the group is in.
"Are you guys the ones that barricaded the alley?" Rick asks.
"Somebody did... I guess when the city got overrun. Whoever did it was thinking not many rotters would get through." Rosanna answers.
Rick nods in understanding and looks over to Glenn. "Back at the tank, why'd you stick your neck out for me?"
"Call it foolish, naive hope that if I'm ever that far up shit creek, somebody might do the same for me. Guess I'm an even bigger dumbass than you."
Rosanna smiles at that. "We aren't ones to just let someone die. Especially like that."
Rick tosses her a small smile. "Thank you guys. Truly."
The three go down another ladder down to the ground level.
"Call them." Rosanna says gesturing to the door across the way.
Glenn pulls out the walkie from his pack. "We're back. Got a guest plus four geeks in the alley."
T-Dog and Morales come out the door, decked out in protective gear and baseball bats. They take care of the rotters and the three make a run for the building. Morales and T-Dog follow in after.
