I paced my cell, waiting for Dr. S to come and see me, or Hershel, or someone. I heard the other two coughing in their cells. I sat on my temporary bed, bouncing my knee.

Hershel stood by my stall, looking at me, before he sighed. "Your only possible symptom is getting sick once in a while?"

I nodded, "yeah, why?"

He looked down, opening the door to let me out. "Come on. Get out of there." He sighed.

I stood up, "are you sure, I mean- what if i-"

"Ya ain't gonna turn now get out of there before I've left you exposed for longer than you should be."

I nodded, and followed him out of the cell block. He lead me to a different room, where the "doctor office" was, AKA his room. He made me sit down, and he sat in a chair in front of me. "How often do you get sick?"

"About 1-2 times a day, usually mornings and nights, or if I've been anxious to an extreme amount but I've always had that problem."

Hershel nodded, "what have you been eating?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary, although I have been eating less meat, usually only eating anything me and Daryl catch."

He nodded, "you and him been sexually active?"

"Excuse me?"

"I'm your doctor right now. Have you or haven't you?"

"I mean- yeah."

He nodded, standing up. "I think you should take a run, or have someone take a run, and get you a test."

"A test?"

He nodded.

Oh. A test. Like.. "Oh Hershel, I can't be pregnant." I shook my head.

"If your so sure.." He shrugged, "but id be careful. And be cautious. Ok?"

"I- ok.."

"Go out and find Daryl, but keep your distance. You may have both been exposed but, can never be too careful."

I nodded, getting up and leave, watching him while I did.

Then I went back to our room, and changed into a fresh set of clothes, and passed out for about an hour.

As I was walking the halls in search of Daryl, I saw Tyreese leading Carol, Daryl, and Rick somewhere, and Daryl looked at me, "they let you out?"

"No fever, no cough, said I was free to go." I nodded, before I whispered, "we'll talk later."

Tyreese looked at me, "come on, something I wanna show you." He said, leading us put back, where we saw two bodies on the ground, burnt and crisp.

Karen and David...

"You found them like this?" Rick asked.

"I came to see Karen.. And I saw the blood on the floor." He sighed, "then I smelled them." He swallowed hard, "somebody dragged 'em out here and set 'em on fire."He said in a loud, angry tone. "THEY KILLED THEM AND SET THEM ON FIRE!"

He turned and stepped up to Rick menacingly, me and Daryl moved to grab him, but Tyreese just looked at my brother. "You're a cop. You find out who did this and you bring 'em to me. You understand? YOU BRING 'EM TO ME!"

Daryl walked up to him and started to put his hand on his shoulder, "We'll find out who-" tyreese moved his shoulder and pushed Daryl back.

"I need to say it again?" Tyreese asked.
