The five climb down the ladder toward the alley, splitting off into two groups. Rick nods at Elaina as he follows T-Dog away. She returns the gesture.

Daryl nudges Glenn. "You've got some balls for a Chinaman."

"I'm Korean."

Daryl shrugs. "Whatever."

They approach the metal fence, and Elaina opens it briefly so that Glenn can run through, onto the street.

Daryl guards the gate, and Elaina faces the other direction of the alley.

Suddenly a young Hispanic teen barrels his way down the alley. 

"Daryl!" Elaina calls out, holding her gun up. Daryl whips around and aims his crossbow at the kid with no hesitation.

The kid holds up his hands. "Whoa whoa! Don't shoot me!"

"I'm lookin' for my brother. You seen him?" Daryl asks.

The kid glances at the two before shouting. "Ayúdame!"

Daryl shoves the crossbow against the kid's body. "Shut up! You're gonna bring the geeks down on us."

Elaina stops and thinks for a second.

"Help me." She mumbles.

Daryl glances at her. "What?"

She looks back at him. "Help me. He said 'help me.'"

Daryl curses under his breath. There must be others. Suddenly the kid screams again.

"Ayúdame! Ayúdame! Ayúdame!"

Elaina looks up as two more Hispanic men, much larger than the kid, run down the alley.

Before she can react, Daryl gets knocked to the ground. Elaina tries to pull one of the men off him but gets an elbow to the face, causing her to fall to the floor. She wipes the blood from her nose and tries aiming her gun at him but the other man slaps it out of her hand.

Glenn comes back from the street with the bag, to see the men beating up Daryl, and Elaina on the floor. The man beating up Daryl points. "Felipe! That's the bag. Get it Vato!"

They quickly jump up and the two mystery men grab the bag of guns from Glenn. He tries fighting them off and the bag falls to the concrete.

Daryl musters enough strength to shoot an arrow into Felipe's backside. The men grab Glenn and shove him into a car, leaving the guns behind. "Get back here!" Daryl says.

Elaina picks up her gun and shoots at the car twice. It does nothing, and the car drives off, leaving a distraught Daryl and Elaina.

"Fuck!" She shouts. She punches the concrete ground in anger.

T-Dog and Rick finally arrive at the alley.

Daryl grabs hold of the teen boy and pulls him to a standing position. "I'm gonna kick your nuts into your throat!"

Rick pulls Daryl off the kid. "Whoa. Stop it."

Elaina is slumping against the brick wall. Rick goes to help her up, and Daryl continues. "They took Glenn. That little bastard and his bastard homie friends."
