Rick Grimes was getting ready for work, when he had heard his baby daughter, Judith crying. He finished putting on his boots and went to her room to check on her. When he got there, however, his fourteen year old son, Carl was already in there, feeding her a bottle.
Carl looked up and saw his father standing in the doorway and noticed the look on his face. "Don't worry Dad. I'll take care of Judith while you get ready for work and I'll call Beth to see if she can take care of her today." Carl told his father. "Oh, alright then son." Rick replied.
Carl was normally getting ready for school and ignored his sister's cries, but today was different and he did not know why. Perhaps it was a girl at school. Or he had joined a new club and had not told his father about it. Either way, Rick shrugged it off and continued getting ready for work.
When Rick got to work, Detective Daryl Dixon, one of Rick's closest friends came up to him. "Mornin Rick." "Good morning Daryl." Rick greeted. "Well it ain't very much of a good mornin." Daryl replied. "Why's that?" Rick asked, curiously.
"Pete was murdered last night." Daryl told him. Rick froze. Pete Anderson had been one of Rick's friends for a long time and he was shocked to hear that he was murdered. "How'd he die?" Rick asked. Daryl's eyes went towards the floor before telling him, "He was stabbed multiple times. Chief told me."
Chief Jim Hopper then walked up to the two and said to Rick, "I assume Daryl told you about Pete?" "Yes. He told me. Pete was a good man." Rick replied. Rick was friends with Jim because Carl and Jim's daughter and son, Will and Jane were friends with Carl. "Yes he was. Today, you and Daryl are going to be questioning Jessie, Ron, and Sam, along with the neighbors to see what they know about Pete's death." Jim told the two detectives.
Daryl and Rick pulled up in Rick's car to the Anderson house and knocked on the door. About two minutes passed and nobody had answered the door. Daryl was about to knock on the door for a second time, when Jessie answered the door. Her blue eyes were red, bloodshot, and puffy from crying so much and her hair was a bit messy.
"Rick? Daryl? What are you doing here?" Jessie asked. "We need to talk with you, Ron, and Sam." Rick told the woman. "Sure. I'll get the boys and you two can wait in the living room." Jessie replied, stepping back to let the two men into her home.
The two men waited for a few minutes, before Jessie, Ron, and Sam all made their way downstairs. "Can you three please sit down so we can ask you a few questions?" Rick asked. The three did as they were told and Sam asked, "Is this about my dad's death?"
"Yes. Where were you three around seven thirty last night?" Daryl asked. "I was with Joyce last night." Jessie told the detective. "Where were you?" Rick asked, gestering towards Ron, who sat with a blank expression, looking at the floor. "I was hanging out with Dustin and Lucas. My friends." Ron said, looking up at Rick. "What about you Sam?" Rick asked the blonde haired boy. "I was with my friend Jacob." Sam told the man before looking at the floor like his older brother.
They asked the family a few more questions before going to the next door neighbor's house, asking them the same questions. After they went to each person's house on the street, they went back to work, finding out that one of the neighbors saw a person wearing black robes and a ghostface mask, like the one from Stab enter the house around the time Pete was murdered, which they found useful.
Later, Rick had gotten off from work, when he got a phone call. It was an unknown number. Rick, thinking it was a scam, didn't answer it. When his phone rang again, Rick decided to answer it to tell the scammer he wasn't interested. However, when Rick answered, the same voice that Pete heard when he was on the phone the night before said, "Hello Rick."
