___

If you find that silver lining

You should know what that means

You've been moving fast

You're splitting at the seams

If you find that silver lining

You're already in deep

There's another piece

That was buried underneath

___

The next morning the group stands around near the gate that leads to the concrete part of the prison. The area is filled with walkers.

Maggie, Archer, Rosanna, Glenn, T-Dog, Rick, and Daryl all stand with their weapons ready. Hershel is holding onto the gate. "Ready?" He asks.

They nod and he pulls open the gate allowing the seven to run inside. Hershel shuts it and the remaining group members try to draw the walkers to the fence.

The group inside, is in a formation. Everyone has their back to each other and move in a consistent shape, killing the walkers along the way.

Rosanna breaks from the group at one point to slice a rotter down with her sword. Glenn grabs her arm and pulls her back when she's finished. 

The group slowly push forward past the first courtyard until they see another one, the gate wide open. Rick holds up his hand and they all hide behind a wall to think up a plan.

Suddenly four walkers wearing protective armor and helmets come out from behind a car. Maggie kicks one to the floor. Daryl tries shooting one in the head, but the arrow bounces off the plastic.

Rosanna feels a hand on her shoulder and whips around to find another armed walker. She pushes it backward and uses that time to slide her sword up under its neck, killing it. She laughs and glances over at T-Dog and Glenn. "See that?"

They do the same, lifting the walkers' heads just enough so they can get the brain. Rick and Daryl rush over and close the other gate, leaving a large group of walkers trapped inside.

Once all the walkers are dead, everyone takes a deep breath.

Glenn glances around. "Seems secure."

Daryl looks at one of the bodies and points his crossbow at it while shaking his head. "That's a civilian."

T-Dog rubs his bald head. "So, the interior could be filled with walkers from outside the prison."

"What if walls are down?" Archer asks.

Rosanna sighs, wiping the blood off her face. "We can't rebuild this whole place."

Rick takes a breath. "We can't risk a blind spot. We have to push in."

They all gather their weapons and make their way towards a door leading inside the prison. Daryl enters first followed by Rick, Glenn and Rosanna. Maggie, Archer and T-Dog follow.

Inside the cell block, the floor is littered with trash. Thankfully, there aren't any walkers inside the room. Rick walks up a small staircase to get to a little glass room where a dead body sits. Probably the guard. He takes a set of keys from the guys belt and goes back down to the others. He uses the keys to open the door leading to the cells.
