(Cats pov)
Another morning waking up in the tent before heading out to see the group but this morning I see Glenn acting off: not making eye contact, speaking quicker than normal, shuffling around

"Peach?" He asks carrying a barrel of peaches I thank him taking a bite

"What's up?" I ask walking past him

"Nothings up. Why?" He asks defensively his eyes moving from me to Dale before looking down

"Glenn I know when you're lying" I shout as he walks off and I notice Lori standing alone so I head over to talk to her

"What did Rick say?" I asks the woman who just looks up at me in silence "you didn't tell him?" making me groan "You're gonna have to we've spoke about this," I tell her walking over "Lori you're pregnant you need more vitamins, medicine, a nice pillow. Here have my share" I demand handing her my rations

"Honey, I don't want your food, okay? You're tiny yourself you need to eat." She states pushing my hands back into my body

"You need to eat. You're too skinny. And if you ain't gonna let Rick take care of you, someone has to" I tell her as she pours out some water

"Hey Cat, peach man!" I hear Shane's voice for a far so we head over to plan our outings of the day

"The creek flows south, past that farmhouse Cat and Daryl found. Maybe Sophia dropped the doll there, maybe that's where Charlie's necklace broke off, the current brought it downstream" rick speaks pointing at the map

"So what, you think she took this road here and then went north?" Shane asks scoffing

"Yeah. What's up that way?" Rick asks looking at the young boy

"A housing development. It went in maybe 20 years ago" Jimmy speaks

"Take a run up there after gun practice. I'll hold down the fort here, but take backup. After what down with Daryl. I don't want anyone going out alone. We stay in pairs" Rick states

"I'll take suggestions on a partner" Shane states

"See how they do on the range, then take your pick," Rick suggests and Glenn hands the men a peach "thanks" Glenn looks at him a guilty expression on his face I just raise my eyebrows at him and instantly his eyes fall to the floor. Lori stands behind him and gives him a look causing Shane to look at Rick

"My binoculars" Shane brings up

"Yeah, yeah," Glenn stutters fumbling with the binoculars before handing them to the bigger guy "okay, bye" he dismisses before quickly walking off making Shane laugh

"We'd like to join you for gun trainin' today" Beth's soft voice interrupts as we turn to see her and Patrica have arrived

"Hershel's been very clear. I can't involve any of you in what we do today without his okay." Rick reminds the blondes

"He doesn't like it, but he consented" Beth reassures nodding at the men

"Otis was the only one who knew guns. Now he's gone, we gotta learn to protect ourselves. Her father saw the sense in that" Patricia backs the younger girl

"No offence, but I'll ask Hershel myself" Rick tells them as he heads to Hershel and we head back to the rest of the group i head over to Carl with Shane

"What's goin' on?" I ask as I tap the cowboy hat on his head

"I want to learn to shoot too," he states and then looks over at Shane "can you teach me?"

"Well, man, that's- up to your parents." Shane tells the boy crouching down so they're the same height

"Can you both talk to them? They'll listen to you" Carl asks making me laugh
