Ericka and her husband Shane Walsh have battled heartbreak, walkers, and The Governor but nothing prepared them for what was about to happen next or should I say who was about to happen next
So this chapter is a long one so heads up, and like I've mentioned in my previous book the math might be off lol also as always vote, comment and show books 1 & 2 some love please 🥺 ******************************* Ericka's pov
It's been twenty minutes and Shane still isn't back from using the restroom. Maybe someone needed help or something but I had this weird vibe. I ignored it for the sake of the kids but I can't shake this feeling.
The movie, a old mickey mouse cartoon, was almost over when Ezekiel came up to me and whispered he needed to speak with me.
"Judith can you watch Shay and RJ, I need to help Ezekiel with something." I lied asking her as she nods. I then followed Ezekiel who was speaking with Lydia and Carol
"What's going on?" I ask Ezekiel
"Siddiq is missing, along with Tara, Henry, Tammy Rose, and Addy." He says with worry written all over his face
"My mom was here, she disowned me for siding with you guys... She said to keep our eyes open." Lydia confesses as she begins to cry, "as soon as she left, I came to find you." She says looking at Ezekiel, "it's been the most four minutes since she left, I swear!" That's when I had an unsettling feeling in my gut.
"Shane said he was going to the restroom and he hasn't returned... I assumed he was helping someone or something but that was almost an hour ago." I say as panic begins to take over me and Carol holds me
"Ok I'm gonna find Daryl and Michonne, we're gonna see what's going on." Carol says to us "it's better I go, you stay here and act like everything is fine." She says to Ezekiel then turns to look at me, "you stay here as well, you don't need to worry the kids."
I went back to my seat and was breathing in and out trying to control my nerves. The kids were to busy laughing to notice my anxiety act up, however Nabila noticed and sat next to me.

"I noticed that Tammy Rose was missing when her husband didn't know how rock Adam to sleep." She whispers to me, "stay with me until Carol and the others return with Shane, the kids can play while we figure out what's going on."
I felt like my tears were gonna come out but I closed my eyes tight, held her hand and nodded.
After the movie was finally over, I put on my best pokerface and told the kids were going to Nabila and Jerry's place for a sleep over. The kids not knowing the truth we're excited, until we were half way to their house and Shay asked, "where her daddy was?" I had to lie again and say he had some business to take care and she just skipped away not knowing her daddy is missing.
"Ok Siddiq went to the restroom to clean up, that means chances are he and Shane were taken at the same time or they took off at the same?" I say looking at Jerry
"Sounds about right, but why would they take off, that part doesn't make sense?" He says doubtfully
"Maybe they ran off to help those who were taken?" Ezekiel answers
