"Let's go!" Glenn says. As Rick and Glenn and I make our way into the store. "Morales, let's go!" T-Dog says and he and Morales follow after us. As they finish the Walkers.

We get inside where Jacqui and Andrea are also taking cover. Rick immediately has a gun pointed in his face by Andrea. Pissing me off to no end.

"You son of a bitch. We ought to kill you." Andrea says with anger in her voice.

"Just chill out, Andrea. Back off. Jacqui: Come on, ease up." Morales says as he sees me take my gun out and point my gun at her head.

"Ease up? You're kidding me. We're dead because of this stupid asshole." Andrea spits out completely ignoring me or just not knowing I'm here.

"Andrea, I said back the hell off," Morales yells one more time hoping I don't pull the trigger.

"Well, pull the trigger. Because I've had enough of you having your gun in my man's face. Besides you stupid fuck you still have to safety on."I say with all seriousness while I let out a dry chuckle at the end.

Andrea turns to look at me not having seen me come in. And takes a look at my gun that is pointed at her head. A look of fear overtakes her face and she backs away and tries to put on a brave face trying to make it seem like she wasn't just scared.

"We're dead ... All of us... Because of you." Andrea says tears coming to her eyes.

"I don't understand. I was quiet until too many walkers caught sight of me. I had to protect myself." Rick says while looking between the people here hoping they'll understand that he meant no harm.

"Look, we came into the city to scavenge supplies. Do you know what the key to scavenging is? Surviving! Do you know the key to surviving? Sneaking in and out, tiptoeing. Not shooting up the streets like it's the O.K. Corral." Morales says upset and angry with what Rick had done.

"Every geek for miles around heard you popping off rounds," T-Dog says putting his input in.

"You just rang the dinner bell," Andrea says even more pissed off than before.

"Get the picture now?" Morales says as he points to store windows.

We turn to see the zombies growling and trying to get into the store. A few Walkers are attempting to smash through the double set of doors to get to us. 

"Oh, God. What the hell were you doing out there anyway?"Andrea says trying to make sense of why anyone would be out there.

"I was looking for supplies and a way through the cars," Rick says as he takes a glance at me and I just give him a nod of understanding letting him know I'm not mad.

"Hey, T-Dog, try that C.B. Can you contact the others?" Morales trying to change the subject.

"Others? The refugee center?" Rick asks with curiosity in his tone.

"Yeah, the refugee center. They've got biscuits waiting in the oven for us." Jacqui says sarcastically.

"No need to be mean okay? He was just asking and besides by the number of people here I would think the same thing." I say with a pissed-off expression. Tried of people telling Rick things.
