ARIA RAN WITH THE GROUP ACROSS the street of Woodbury before they entered a store. The girl stayed still inside the store as the group talked, all she could think about was that her son was out there by himself. Tuning in and out of their conversation, too focused on the noises from outside and the fact Michonne who was with the group as well wasn't here anymore.

"Rick, how did you find us?" Maggie asked the man in plaid. "How bad are you hurt?" Is all he replied with, Aria could only think the group didn't notice her existence quite yet focused on other priorities at hand.

"Where's that woman?" Maggie questioned, Rick walking past Aria to see out the window. "She was right behind us."

"Michonne?" Aria voiced up catching everyone's attention. Rick and another man holding a crossbow pointed their weapons at her making the woman instantly raised her arms in surrender.

"How do you know her?" Rick asked focusing on the woman he's never seen before. His blue eyes scanning her features, letting them do a once over before setting them stone cold on her own blue eyes.

"She came in today, she was new. I showed her around and I helped her leave because she didn't want to stay." Aria watched as Rick tilted his head at the girl, a unknown look crossing his face.

"Rick, Daryl don't hurt her. She helped Maggie and I back there." Glenn grunted, physically weak by how much pain he was in.

The two, Rick and Daryl, lowered their weapons after a minute. Aria shook her head, "Look i'd love to stay a chat but my kids out there. I have to go get him."

"Aria, you can't just run out in the open. They know you helped us." Maggie protested, her face sunken and her hand against Glenn's shoulder. "They'll kill you."

"Maggie, I have to get him. I'm not leaving without my son. You don't need to worry about me, make sure you get yourself and Glenn safely out of here." Aria concluded, Maggie nodded acknowledging her words. Rick turned to face Aria again after learning about her kid and the way she was so determined to find him.

Rick met Aria's eyes, "Hear look, Daryl you get them out. I'll make sure Aria gets her kid and we will be right behind you."Daryl went to protest but Rick shot him a look making him back down. Maggie nodded in agreement, liking the fact Aria would be safer with Rick than by herself.

"Daryl, this was Merle." Glenn changed the subject briefly watching as Daryl's face fell with hearing this news. "It was, he did this."

"You saw him?" Rick added, now facing the couple on the ground. Aria's eyebrows furrowed confused on why Daryl would care if Merle was doing something or not and how they even knew each other in the first place.

"Face to face. He threw a walker at me. He was gonna execute us." Glenn proceed to put on his shirt again with the help of Maggie.

Daryl stepped forward, face full of mixed emotions. "So my brothers this governor?"

"No, it's somebody else. Your brothers his lieutenant or something. When we get out of here we can get Aria to answer these questions she's been here longer, right?" Maggie continued on answering Daryl's questions before facing the woman who just agreed silently.
