I TUCKED THE note in my pocket before heading back down. i took a seat inbetween glenn and chris, leaning my head on glenn's shoulder when i got settled.

"are you okay?" he whispered, pressing a kiss to the side of my head. i lightly smiled, nodding my head as i focused on rick who began to talk.

"better all turn in. i'll take watch over there. we got a big day tomorrow."

glenn shifted, poking the fire with a stick to keep it going, "what do you mean?"

"look, i know we're all exhausted. this was a great win, but we gotta push just a little bit more." rick started, glancing around the group, "most of the walkers are dressed as guards and prisoners. looks like this place fell pretty early. it could mean the supplies may be intact. they'd have an infirmary, a commissary..."

"an armory?" i asked, earning a slight nod from rick, "that would be outside the prison itself, but not to far away. wardens offices would have info on the location."

hershel shook his head, shifting uneasily, "we're dangerously low on ammo. we'd run out before we make a dent."

"you want us to go in there ourselves... fight with our bare hands" i mumbled, my eyes flickering over to glenn's when rick gave me a nod.

"those assholes won't stand a chance with you and a baseball bat" quinn stated, trying to lighten the mood. i smirked, shaking my head at her, "you're right"
—————

everyone was up early the next morning, taking an hour to assure ourselves of what we were about to face. the group is strong— stronger than most, but we were all tired from the winter. scared of what we might possibly find inside. i just had to hope that all this effort would reward us with something.

i strapped a few pairing knives to my thigh, shoving my gun into my belt loop just in case before grabbing the baseball bat i had found.

"ready?" hershel questioned, earning a quick nod from rick before sliding the gate open in front of me, glenn, tdog, rick, daryl, maggie, and chris.

rick took the lead as we all followed, staying tight back to back. i swung by bat, getting out of line to completely obliterate a walkers head.

i quickly moved back into formation, smirking down at my new weapon that seemed to do the job pretty well.

glenn slid his leg out, tripping a walker so i could raise the bat above my head. bringing it down on its head to kill it.

"oh shit" rick muttered, ushering us to fall back once we realized there was more than we expected in an open gated area.

our cover was quickly blown when two walkers dressed in protective armor came out from behind a dumpster, along with two more.

daryl raised his crossbow, firing an arrow at one of them for it to only bounce back off of its helmet as they got closer to us.
