___
Please I've been on my knees
Change the prophecy
Don't want money
Just someone who wants my company
Let it once be me

"Still worried about it?" Andrea asks Lori.
"It was a gunshot."
Archer nods. "We all heard it."
"Why just one gunshot?"
Carol shrugs. "Maybe they took down a walker."
"Don't patronize me." Lori snaps. "You know Rick wouldn't risk a gunshot to put down one walker, or Shane. They'd do it quietly."
Rosanna nods slowly. "Shouldn't they have caught up to us by now?"
Everyone goes silent and continues walking. After a while, Carol and Andrea talk softly.
"We're all hoping and praying with you, for what it's worth." Andrea says.
"I'll tell ya what it's worth-- not a damn thing. It's a waste of time, all this hopin' and prayin'." Daryl says turning to face them. "Cause we're gonna locate that little girl and she's gonna be just fine. Am I the only one zen around here? Good lord."

A while passes and the sun is starting to go down.
"I think we should call it. Let's head back." Daryl says.
Carol bites her fingernails. "We'll pick it up tomorrow?"
Rosanna nods. "We'll find her tomorrow."
The group walks for a bit, alongside the creek. Suddenly Andrea screams. They rush over and find a walker on top of Andrea trying to bite.
All of a sudden, galloping can be heard getting closer. Out of nowhere, a woman with short hair, riding a horse, hits the walker in the head with a bat.
"Lori? Lori Grimes?" She asks the traumatized Andrea.
Lori takes a step. "I'm Lori."
She pulls the horse to a stop. "You've got to come with me— Rick sent me... there's been an accident. Carl's been shot."
Lori doesn't hesitate. She starts climbing on the back of the horse.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, we don't know this girl!" Daryl says.
The mystery girl looks at Rosanna. "Rick said you had others on the highway, that big traffic snarl?"
She nods.
"Backtrack to Fairburn Road. Two miles down is our farm. You'll see the mailbox-- name's Greene"
With that, the woman on the horse takes off back where she came with Lori, leaving the others standing around dazed.
___
"What do ya mean shot?" Dale asks when the others return and inform him and T-Dog.
"I don't know. Wasn't there." Archer says.
Daryl waves his hand around. "All I know is this chick rode out of nowhere like Zorro on a horse and took Lori."
"You let her?" Dale asks concerned.
"Rick sent her. Knew Lori's name and Carl's." Glenn replies.
They all scatter and finish getting supplies, loading it into the RV. They'd decided to go find the farm where the woman took Lori in the morning.
