Josephine Rogers Rhee POV

I got outside and saw Jackie and Riley sniffing around. Rosie was screeching. She then noticed me. She whimpered. "What is it?!" I yelled. She pointed in the woods. "W-Where's Bob, Daryl, and Carol?" I asked. "I don't know. He's missing." Sasha said.

"We need to do inside. We can't go look." my brother said.

We got back inside. Optimus and I walked over to Mommy. She saw I was okay. "What was she calling for?" Mom asked.

"Three of us are missing and I think she saw someone get nabbed," I said. Dad nodded.

I noticed Sasha grab her knife. "Don't!" I yelled. Optimize held me back. "Sasha! Put it away!"

Rick spoke to Gabriel and once he did Gabriel confessed to what he did. Sasha put her knife away. Suddenly there was a loud roar and a bright light.

"Someone... Someone is underneath Riley." Dad said. I turned. "Bob!" I ran for it. "JO!" Rick yelled. Riley continued to fire into the woods. Me and Sasha ran underneath her and saw Bob.

"His leg." Mom said. "Get Bob inside! We'll take care of it!" Dad yelled.

"Move!" Optimus lifted him and he carried him
Inside. He put him down.

"I was in a graveyard and they knocked me out. The last I heard was Rosie screeching. I woke up outside this place. It looked like a school. It was that guy Gareth. And five other ones. They were eating my leg. Right in front of me. Like it was nothing. All proud like they had it all figured out." Bob said.

"Did they have Daryl or Carol?" Rick asked. "Gareth said they drove off." He then groaned. "Hsd in pain. Do we have anything?" I asked. "I think we have some pain pill packets in the first aid kit." Rosita said.

"Yeah." I nodded. "Save 'em." Bob said. "No." I said. "Really!"

He then winced as he showed me and Sasha a bite mark. I tensed. I looked at Bob. I felt the tears prick my eyes. "It happened at the food bank," he told us. I looked at him. "It's okay," I told him softly.

He then fainted. "There is a sofa in my office. I know it's not much, but. . ." Gabriel started. "Thank you." Sasha said.

"I got him!" King said. He gently lifted Bob up and took him into the room.

I sighed and looked at mommy. She gently rubbed my back. Judith started crying.

"Time for a realty check. We need to leave for DC right now." Abraham said. King walked out and stood beside me.

"Daryl and Carol are still missing. We're not going anywhere without them!" King stated. "I respect that, but there's a clear threat to Eugene. I need to extract his ass before things get uglier." Predaking narrowed his eyes.

"There's a clear threat to the goddamn baby here!" He snarled. "There are a lot more of us." King growled walking towards him.

"You want to keep it that way? You should come." Abraham said. "Carol saved your life. I saved your life. JOSEPHINE SAVED YOUR LIFE!" King snarled.

"And now I am trying to save yours. Save everyone's!" Abraham yelled. "We're not going anywhere without Them!"

"Your people took off!" He snapped. "They're coming back!" King snapped.

"To what? Picked over bones?"

"You're not taking the bus—" King started. "Do not lay hands!" He yelled. "Abraham!" Rosita hissed. "Hey! Hey! Stop, now!" Dad yelled. He turned to Abraham.

"Do you really think that you're gonna be any safer leaving right now? In the middle of the night?" Dad asked. "Yeah. Yeah." Abraham said.

"What about tomorrow? We need each other for this! We need each other to get to DC. We can get through all of it together." Dad said.

"I have an idea. If you stay just one more day and help, I'll go with you." Tara said. "Glenn and Maggie too." He said.

"No." King growled. "Good luck, then. I'm not interested in breaking up what you have here." Abraham said. "Rosita, grab your gear." He said.

"Abraham—"

"Now! Eugene move it. Eugene!" Abraham growled. "I don't wanna."

"Now!" He stood up "you're not taking the bus." King growled. "Try and stop me."

King then walked forward. I ran forward. "WAIT!" I grabbed King's arm. "Hey! You stay— You stay and help us, and we will go with you." Dad said.

"No!" Rick stated. "It's not your call." Dad stated. I looked at my father tears in my eyes. I felt them fall out of my eyes. Dad looked at me.

I then stormed off and Optimus followed me.

I was sitting with Optimus and we heard the doors open. I widened my eyes. Optimus slowly reached behind him and he grabbed his shotgun. He pointed it at the door.

Gareth spoke and I looked at Optimus. He pointed to the ceiling.

Predaking's brother PoisonFang was crawling on the ceiling as he growled. "Josephine, her cybertronian brother Optimus Prime or should I say Orion Pax?" Gareth said.

I looked at my brother. His face fell. "How do they know that?" He mouthed to me. I shrugged.

They got to two doors and they were at the other one when Judith started crying.

Carl instantly picked her up.

They were about to take the doors down when I heard an angry roar. Suddenly there was a lot of gunfire and screams.

Suddenly it all stopped. I opened the door. A green dragon roared in Gareth's face. Optimus then walked over.

"How do you know my old name?" He growled. "Someone's looking for you. Megatron and Shockwave. Said they have something for you. She's alive." Optimus widened his eyes. "My real carrier died centuries ago because she couldn't stand to see me!" Optimus snarled.

"She's alive. And now there's a bounty on your sister's head—" Optimus shot Gareth in the face. I looked at him.
