Eddie and Daryl had been slightly avoiding each other after waking up in each other's arms, Alex and Sophia had been trying to encourage Eddie to confess his feeling towards the hunter.

"Ok, let's get the other car in, we'll park 'em in the west of the yard" Rick said, "good, our vehicles camped out there look like a giant "vacancy" sign" Daryl said, Eddie watched him from the side, pulling his hair slightly over his face when the hunter's eyes met his.

"After that, we need to load up these corpse's so we can burn 'em" Rick said, "gonna be a long day" T-dog said.

"Where's Glenn and Maggie? We could use some help" Eddie asked, Carol stopping beside him, "up in the guard tower" Daryl said, "guard tower? They were just up there last night" Rick questioned.

Eddie looked at Rick, giggling before making a sex sign with his hands, Rick chuckled at his childish behavior.

"Glenn, Maggie!!" Daryl yelled, they all smiled as they watched Glenn hobble out of the guard tower without a shirt, "hey, what's up guys?" Glenn called, "you Cumming?" Eddie called up, Carol turned around, trying to hide her laugh.

"What?" Glenn called out, "you coming?" Daryl said, Glenn looked to Maggie, "come on, we could use some help" Daryl said before gently and ever so slightly running his finger over Eddie's side as he followed Rick.

Eddie quivered, the touch setting off fireworks in his stomach and making him feel sick, but not in a bad way, it was in a good way, like how you eat to much candy and you want more even though it makes your stomach upset.

"Hey Rick" T-dog called, they all turned around, watching as the inmates Axel and Oscar began to walk over.

"Come with me" Rick said, Eddie, T-dog and Daryl quickly following after him, though, Daryl did stick close to Eddie, body in front of him incase anything went down.

"That's close enough" Rick said to the inmates, "we had an agreement" Rick added angrily, "please, mister, we know that, we made a deal, but you gotta understand, we can't live in that place another minute, you follow me? All the bodies, people we knew, blood, brains everywhere, they're ghost" Axel said.

"Why don't you move the bodies out?" Daryl asked, "you should be burning them" T-dog and Eddie said at the same time, giving each other a look.

"We tried, we did" Axel said, "the fence is down on the far side of the prison, every time we drag a body out, those things just line up, dropping the bodies and just running back inside" Oscar said.

"Look, we had nothing to do with Tomas and Andrew, nothing, you trying to prove a point? You proved it, bro, we'll do whatever it takes to be apart of your group, just please, please don't make us live in that place" Axel pleaded, Eddie couldn't help but to feel bad for them.

"Our deal is not negotiable, you either live in your cell block, or you leave" Rick said, Eddie stepped up to maybe convince him that they seemed nice enough but Daryl had grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

"I told you this was a waste of time, they ain't no different than the prick's who shot up our boys, you know how many friends corpse's we had to drag out this week? Just threw 'em out like…these were good guy's, good guys who had our backs against the really bad dude's in the joint, like Tomas and Andrew, now, we've all made mistakes to get in here, chief, and I'm not going to pretend to be a saint, but believe me, we've paid our due, enough that we'd rather hit that road then go back into that shithole" Oscar said.
