Dead Man Walking

v

Over the past few days, Glenn has been acting strange. Since the night he went out to meet up with Maggie he's been acting weird. Weirder than usual. Hunter couldn't understand why. But he was going to find out. He watched as Maggie handed Glenn a basket of fruits and he made his way over to Glenn as Maggie walked away.

"Hey, man," Hunter greeted causing Glenn to jump in shock, "Relax, it's just me."

"I am relaxed, why would you think I'm not?" Glenn asks quickly, "I'm fine. Nothing's going on."

Hunter narrows his eyes at the man standing before him, "You're acting weird, man. What's your problem?"

"Me? What–what are you talking about? I'm not–I am fine, you're acting weird," Glenn stutters out and Hunter becomes even more confused.

"Okay, the way you are acting is weird," Hunter states, trying to talk slowly and calmly so Glenn wouldn't freak out, "What. Is. Going. On?"

Glenn was freaking out, he was hiding the biggest secret and he didn't know what to do. Everyone here thinks it's safe here but they have walkers in the barn that could come out at any moment. And not to mention Lori's pregnant and nobody knows.

Glenn grabs Hunter's arm and drags him away from prying ears. He trusted Hunter and he needed to get this off his chest, "So, you know how I went to meet up with Maggie the other night?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you know how I went on a run the other day?" Glenn then asks and Hunter nods, "So what I'm about to tell you is top secret. Classified information. It's confidential. No one can know, it's—"

"Okay! Okay, I get it," Hunter exclaims cutting off Glenn's rambling, "I get what secret means. You don't need to give me every word for it."

Glenn nods, "Right, yeah, you're right. Okay," Hunter runs his fingers through his hair, waiting for Glenn to find the right words, "Lori's pregnant and there are walkers in the barn."

Hunter froze in his spot, his sister-in-law is pregnant. There was no way that was happening, Rick hasn't even been back that long it didn't make any sense. Now the walkers in the barn, Hunter didn't know what to think.

He could tell the Greene family didn't think of the walkers as they did. He saw the look on Maggie's face when she saw the walker in the well. This was dangerous, those walkers could get out at any minute and kill them in their sleep. He didn't like that risk. He wouldn't risk the life of his nephew.

"I'll deal with it," Hunter tells him, "Don't go tell anyone else okay? Like you said this is classified information."

Glenn hums, "Okay, yeah, you deal with it."

"The creek flows south, past that farmhouse Daryl found," Rick says pointing to the map they placed on the truck. "Maybe Sophia dropped the doll there, the current brought it downstream."

"So what, you think she took this road here and then she went North?" Shane asks, he didn't want to continue this search for Sophia, he thought she was dead.

"What's up that way?" Hunter asks Jimmy.

Jimmy rests his head in the palm of his hands as he looks at the map, "A housing development. It went in maybe 10 years ago."

"Take a run up there after gun practice," Rick tells Shane, "We'll hold down the fort here, but take backup. After what went down with Daryl, I don't want anyone going out alone. We stay in pairs."

"I'll take suggestions on a partner," Shane says as they all turn to Glenn who walked over to them with the basket of fruit.

"See how they do on the range, then take your pick," Rick says taking a peach from the basket. Glenn didn't stay he was already walking away.
