It was the following day when Rick said that they should go to the police station to grab whatever guns and ammo that are left. As they entered, a lone figure stood hiding in the shadows. Having sensed people approaching the building, she had just finished getting washed up and grabbing supplies. She was waiting for them to leave the room so she could slip out of the station unnoticed. As Rick, Morgan, and Duane entered the station, she recognized the father and son duo as the ones she saved the other day, and she recognized Rick from the hospital. The tall female shook her head and gasped as she watched the three-person group walk over to a rack where her friend had disguised himself as a pair of keys. She started to nervously sweat as Rick went to grab the morphed set of keys, and she couldn't help but sigh as Rick realized that they weren't the ones he was looking for and grabbed the set of keys to the right of Morph. She watched as they went to the showers and waited till they heard the water turned on before quickly exiting the station "Come on, morph. We gotta find that hideout and fast," she whispered to her little companion, who shifted back to his regular blobby self and sighed as that was to close of a call for both of their liking before quickly flying over to Violet as they quickly ran out of the building. As they ran off to where Violet's motorcycle was hidden, they promptly got geared up and rode off in the distance just as the trio had finished showering and getting dressed. Back in the station, the two adult males were talking about a safe place in Atlanta as they went to the armory to pack what they could and split the weapons amongst themselves, and get ready to head out. As they headed outside, Rick asked Morgan if he was sure he didn't want to join him. "Just a few more days," Morgan said, "but one more thing before we part ways, if you ever come across Violet, tell her that we're grateful of her saving us that day and we'll never forget her."

"Sure thing," Rick complied. "Maybe if I run into her, I can ask if she'll help me find my family if I haven't found them by then," Rick says, hoping to run into the famed mysterious woman. As they said their goodbyes, Rick gave Morgan a walkie-talkie and told him he'd check in on him every morning at sunrise. As they were about to pack up the cars, Rick paused and looked towards the fence on the side of the building. He heard the familiar growls of a walker, only to gasp lightly as he recognized it as one of his coworkers. "Bassett?" Rick called out. "Didn't think much of him. He was careless and dumb, but I can't leave him like this," Rick said, looking over at Morgan

"The rest will hear the shot," Morgan explains, looking at Rick with uncertainty

"Well, let us not be here when they show up," Rick says, walking towards the walker

"Come on, son, let's go," Morgan says to Duane as he ushers his son into the jeep. Both got in and watched as Rick pointed his gun and waited with slightly battered breath until he finally took the shot, putting the dead cop to his forever rest before turning and running to the cop car and getting in. As they were driving out, they both honked their horns as a final goodbye before heading in different directions, but before Rick could do anything, he still had one more thing to take care of

After a few minutes of driving, Rick stopped at the clearing, where he saw that half-walker only to see it gone and a slight drag trail through the grass. He followed the path for a few more minutes until he finally found the walker. As he walked in front of the walker, he passed and watched for a moment as it slowly and weakly tried to crawl and Reach toward him. Rick finally took his gun out and pointed it at the walker. "Sorry," he said with a look of sorrow before pulling the trigger...

Back on the road, it's been a few hours, and Rick has been trying to get ahold of someone over the radio only to come up empty-handed as he couldn't seem to get ahold of anyone. Rick sighed as he looked at the gas and saw it was near empty, so he pulled over and stopped by a flipped-over semi-truck near a gas station. He popped the trunk and grabbed a gas can, and walked down a hill that led to the gas station, not noticing the figure that was crouching on the roof, watching in disdain, seeing that once again, they recognized that they had run into the same sheriff once again. As Rick was cautiously heading through all the abandoned cars he paused next to a truck as he thought he heard something as he looked around in suspicion till deciding to get on the floor to look under the car, that's when he noticed a pair of tiny dirty slipper clad feet shuffling along the other side of the truck as they stopped and picked a dirty stuffed bear up and as he slowly stood he called out to the little girl and walked to the front of the truck calling out to the little girl once more before stopping short as the little girl stopped and slowly turned around and what he saw was nothing short of terrifying and heart breaking there a lone walking corpse of a little girl in bloody PJs and a dirty bathrobe to match her whole mouth looked to have been bitten off and she had a nasty cut on her forehead he couldn't look away from the gut wrenching sight he was frozen until he was forced to snap out of it when the little walker started to run at him with small vicious and hungry growls he didn't think as he quickly pulled out his gun and shot the walker in the head the shot echoing as the figure on the roof of the station watched this she face palmed shaking her head and watched as walkers started to file out towards Rick who seemed to be in shock until he snapped out of it a little to late though seeing as he's already been surrounded by the dead. He looked around in fear as he didn't think he could take on this many at once. The figure cursed under her breath and contemplated if she should help or not while her companion could only look back and forth between the distressed Rick and Violet, who didn't look like she was going to help until she heard Morph gurgle and coo worriedly and give her a look before shifting into her holding pointing a gun then a zombie and then into an arrow pointing to Rick. Violet could only sigh out a fine as Morph let out a victory coo and watched happily as she stood up and walked to the back edge of the gas station roof to get a running start and get into a running position once she was far enough there was a moment before she finally started sprinting across the top at a speed that was faster than the average human she then jumped as she reached the other side everything seemed to have slowed as her foot left the roof. Rick looked over when he saw movement in the air and watched in amazement as she was airborne for a few moments before landing safely in a crouch on a car that was close to Rick denting the top of it as every walker looked towards the sound of the glass of the car she landed on broke as Rick got a better look at her as she slowly stood he noticed that she had a fanged mask covering the bottom half of her face and had a scarf that was being used as a hood covering her hair and forehead she had a cropped long sleeved shirt on that showed her toned and scared physique. She had on a pair of low-waisted baggy pants held up by a belt with pouches attached to it, and finally, she had platform shoes. What got him was that she had the bright glowing turquoise eyes that Morgan had spoken about in the story of when they were saved by Violet. All was still for a second until Violet suddenly unsheathed her trusty dagger and a gun and leaped into the middle of the walkers, and that was when the massacre started. Rick watched in amazement as she took out walker after walker using different fighting styles to keep others away and down long enough to take them out
