Chapter 32) Run

Dave raises his arms and shoots a look at Tony. "Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Relax. Take it easy. Nobody's killing anybody. Nobody's shooting anybody. Right, Rick? Look. We're just friends having a drink. That's all. Now where's the good stuff, huh?" He climbs behind the bar and searches through cabinets.

Y/N and Glenn stand close to each other, eyeing the two men on opposite sides of the room.

Dave laughs and finds a bottle. "You gotta understand... we can't stay out there. You know what it's like."

Rick nods. "Yeah, I do. But the farm is too crowded as is. I'm sorry. You'll have to keep looking."

Dave scoffs. "Keep looking. Where do you suggest we do that?"

Rick stares at him. "I don't know. I hear Nebraska's nice."

Dave sets the glass down. "Nebraska. This guy."

He makes eye contact with Tony before quickly grabbing his pistol from his pants.

Rick acts quicker, shooting Dave in the head and spinning around to shoot Tony three times.

There's silence afterward. Nobody speaks for a minute. There are now two dead bodies in the bar next to them.

What just happened?

Glenn gently grabs Y/N's arm and pulls her close. "Holy shit."

Rick looks at them. "Y'all okay?"

They nod shakily. Rick looks back. "Hershel?"

He nods. "Let's head back."

They grab their weapons and start walking towards the doors when suddenly a car can be heard approaching. Y/N softly gasps and Rick whispers at them to get down.

A male voice can be heard through the door. "Dave? Tony? They said over here right?"

Another man speaks. "Yeah."

A third male voice responds. "I'm telling you, man, I heard shots."

The second voice speaks again. "I saw roamers two streets over. Might be more around here."

The first male agrees. "We gotta get out of here."

The third male screams. "Dave! Tony!"

"Shut up, you idiot! You wanna attract 'em? Just stick close. We're gonna find 'em."

The male voices get quieter as they walk away from the bar. Y/N and Glenn sit under one window, and Hershel and Rick sit under another.

They all take a breath. The men outside are searching some nearby buildings. They can't make a break for it because they don't know how many there are.

A few agonizing minutes go by when suddenly screams and gunshots are heard.

"What happened?" One voice shouts.

"Roamers! I nailed em."

"I cleared those buildings. You guys get this one?"

A few different voices say no.

Someone scoffs. "We're looking for Dave and Tony and no one checks the damn bar?"

Footsteps start creaking on the wooden porch outside. Glenn acts quickly and shoves his body against the door, preventing the mysterious men from entering.

"Someone pushed it shut. There's someone in there." The voice gets louder. "Yo, is someone in there? Yo, if someone's in there, we don't want no trouble. We're just looking for our friends."

Another voice speaks. "What should we do? Bum rush the door?"

The other voice says no. "We don't know how many are in there. Relax." There's a pause. "We're just looking for our friends. If something happened, tell us. This place is crawling with corpses. If you can help us not get killed, I'd appreciate it."

The other guy talks. "Dude, you're bugging. I'm telling you nobody's in there. Someone guard the door. If they're in there, they might know where Dave and Tony are."

The footsteps start retreating and Y/N sighs. Suddenly Rick speaks. "They drew on us!"

Y/N softly groans and glances at Hershel who just shakes his head. The footsteps get louder.

"Dave and Tony... they in there? They alive?"

There's a pause. Rick speaks. "No."

One of the guys grunts. "They killed Dave and Tony. Come on, let's go."

"No, I'm not leaving, I'm not telling Jane. I'm not gonna go back and tell them that Dave and Tony got shot by some assholes in a bar." Someone else speaks.

Rick sits up slightly. "Your friends drew on us! They gave us no choice! I'm sure we've all lost enough people, done things we wish we didn't have to, but it's like that now. You know that! So let's just chalk this up to what it was... wrong place. Wrong—"

Rick doesn't finish as the men outside unload bullets into the windows and door.

Rick shouts at the other three inside who are looking at him wanting to know what to do. "Go!"

Rick calls out again once the gunfire stops. "We all know this is not gonna end well! There's nothing in it for any of us! You guys just... just back off, no one else gets hurt!"

Y/N is walking backwards, facing the doors when she bumps into a bottle and curses. "Shit!" She whispers.

The stairs in the back creak. Glenn glances at Y/N and goes to the back room. Gunfire is heard and Y/N's eyes widen. She checks the amount of bullets in her gun and rushes to the back room to find Glenn staring at a closed door.

"You okay?" She whispers. He turns to her and nods slowly.

Rick sends Hershel to find Y/N and Glenn.

Hershel enters the room, gun in hand. "Rick wants you to try for the car." He tells Glenn.

"Try?" Y/N pants.

"He'll try and succeed."

Glenn nods and wipes sweat off his forehead.

"Cover me?" He asks Y/N who nods.

He rushes out the door and a man off to the side fires. Glenn slips behind a dumpster and goes silent.

"Glenn?" Y/N whispers. No answer. "Glenn!" She exits the door, and fires directly at the man who shot at Glenn. She hits him in the stomach and he falls to the ground.

Walkers are starting to appear out of the woods. She looks back at Hershel before rushing to Glenn.

He's sitting against a fence, gun in hand, panting. "Are you okay? Were you hit?"

He shakes his head. Rick and Hershel appear next to them. "Okay. The cars right there. We can do this."

They get up and run. More bullets are fired and Y/N gets hit in the arm. She falls to the ground with a shout.

Hershel aims his gun up at a roof and shoots the man who shot her. He falls off the roof. A couple more men get spooked and drive off leaving a teen boy on another roof.

He tries making a jump for it and lands his leg directly on a metal spike. He screams in pain as walkers get closer.

Glenn rushes to aid Y/N who is gripping her arm tightly. "You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay." He repeats over and over.

Rick spots the kid on the fence. He runs up to him trying to help him but can't. Hershel walks up, and tells the kid they have to go.

The kid screams at them and pleads for his life.

Rick goes to the car where Y/N now sits inside leaning against Glenn who's rubbing her head gently. He grabs an axe and goes back to the kid. He and Hershel speak for a moment as more walkers get closer to them.

Glenn sticks his head out the window. "We gotta go!"

Rick makes a split second decision and shoves the kids leg off of the spike, and puts him inside the car. Hershel wraps a cloth around his eyes and they drive back to the farm, avoiding clusters of rotters arriving at the scene.
