Trigger Warning: Attempted Suicide! Mentions of Drunk Driving
Phoebe was stood next to Maggie watching Patrica try to give Beth some fluids as she was dehydrated.
"How is she?" all three women turn to see Andrea stood at the door.
"Dehydrated" Patrica answered "I'll set up an IV, best i can do without Hershel"
"Do you need any help?" Phoebe asked.
"Please" she nodded, the Greenes and Patrica had been alot so even thought she didn't know how to do an IV exactly she'd still try to help even if that meant simply holding things so she followed Patrica out of the room and to where Hershel kept the instraments.
"You think they're alright?" Patrica asked as she started to picked needed things out.
"I do" Phoebe nodded watching the woman closely.
"You not worried?"
"Always but i have trust that they will be back" the room went silent and Phoebe watched as Patrica's hands started to tremble.
"So did I" Patrica handed Phoebe an IV bag "I trusted Otis to be back, like i always did. He'd go out everyday you know, hunting and getting the sick close by. And he always came back...Until he didn't"
"And you're angry?" Phoebe asked for the first time in her life she was stumpted, this woman who'd not long lost her husband was deathly calm but there was no denial of his death and she seemed no where close to acceptance.
"I am" Patrica nodded slightly and Phoebe saw her eyes fly to the fields where the others where burying the dead.
"But not at Otis" Phoebe tilted her head to the side slightly and Patrica chuckled but there was no warmth to it.
"No, never at Otis" the blonde looked up at Phoebe "He brought it back you know" Phoebe didn't know what she was talking about at all so she shook her head.
"Your man Shane" Patrica spat the name like she was cursing it "He brought back his gun, Otis' gun" Patrica stepped closer to Phoebe "I didn't realise at first, i was too shocked that my husband never came home but then i did...I noticed it at the barn"
"I don't understand" Phoebe frowned slightly.
"He told everyone Otis was covering his back and in doing so got caught by the sick, how could my Otis cover his back with no gun?" Patrica took another step closer.
There was a heavy silence again "I see" that was all Phoebe said making Patrica give another cold chuckle.
"So do I" Patrica said taking the bag from her hands and walking off leaving Phoebe alone in her thoughts.

"Are you sure you want to risk it? You might not make it back" Dale followed Andrea as the others were getting a car ready as a few were going to go looking for Rick and the others.
"I'll be fine" Andrea cuts the old man off carrying her stuff over to the car.
"With Shane at the helm, i wouldn't be too sure. His lost people before" Dale scoffed.
"And his had my back, what are you insinuating?" Andrea turned to face the man.
"he doesn't want Rick back, or Hershel. With them gone he has everything he wants, he'd only need to get rid of Phoebe and then he'll have no one to tell him otherwise"
"Shane has done more to keep this group alive then anyone, including Rick and Phoebe" Andrea smiled almost in disbelief.
"You can't possibly believe that" Dale whispered in total disbelief looking at her in shock.
