RESCUE PARTY
---

ALONE IN AN OLD BAKERY, Enid scribbled the three letters J.S.S over and over on a piece of paper. She lets her mind think about what Carl is doing right now, knowing he has probably realized she is gone and was worrying about her-most likely got Kai worrying too. That's how her mind wondered to Kai, thinking about how at first she found him annoying, thought his jokes were to cover up his fear and weakness. Even if that's the case, she wasn't annoyed by it anymore. After seeing him shot a man for Carl, she knew he wasn't all that scared or weak, he just wasn't aware of his potential. Enid sees him, sees he's like her and Carl. True survivors.

That's why she went to say goodbye, even though she had only known him for a day, she felt that if she stayed they could've been friends. So, she wanted to say goodbye to the potential friend she could have had, because in the short day that she's known him, she already missed him. Although when she went to the infirmary, she didn't get to say goodbye. He was dealing with Elliott and she knew that goodbye wasn't what he wanted to hear at the time. So she just talked to him, about nothing that was memorable, but it was their last conversation and he didn't even know it.

Kai and Carl were becoming good friends, something she was even slightly jealous of at first-which would explain why she was quick to judge and dislike him. But she sees what Carl sees now, how easy it is to fall under the spell that is Kai Greenway, to want to protect him and care for him. How lovable he is like a stray dog that you just feel attached to and want to bring home. That's Kai-Enid's stray dog.

Which is why she didn't stay, she's better off alone.

Enid opened the door slightly, peeking out to catch a glance at the walkers going by. Waiting for her chance to sneak past them--that was until a hand got wrapped around her mouth pulling her backwards and away from the door, then they moved from behind her and locked it. Now Glenn, who she had run into earlier, was staring at her.

Enid huffs out in anger and drops her bag to the ground, "What are you doing?"

"I'm taking you home." Glenn answered.

"I don't know you," Enid furrowed her brows and crossed her arms, "I only gave you water because you needed it and I had it. Doesn't make us friends."

Glenn took an intimidating step forward, "Got it. Not friends. I just need your help."

"My help? With what?" Enid asked with an annoyed sass.

"My friends, the tall mean guy and the short angry blonde, did you see them?"

Enid shrugged her shoulders, "I'm not friends with them either."

"Listen, I'm not leaving you here and I'm not leaving my friends. We're going to find them, now." Glenn ordered, sternly. Hoping she'll come easy but by the look in her eye, the determination to stay out of it, he knew he'd have better luck talking to a walker. "Maggie wouldn't want me to leave you behind. She wouldn't leave you behind." Glenn's says with a sigh of annoyance.

Glenn takes ahold of her hand, attempting to take her with him. He only gets a few steps before she pulls her arm away, and by the time Glenn turns around he is staring down the barrel of a gun.

As an instinct Glenn raises his hands slowly, but as he looked deep into Enid's eyes. He knew. He knew she'd never be able to pull that trigger, not while she looked at him at least.
