We had all shuffled off to bed ready to hit the sack for the night and got a good long rest. When we had woken up, Rick and Shane were back with the boy and locked him in the shed, leaving Daryl with him.
"Think he'll be okay?" I ask Carl as we stand around, he shrugs.
"So what's the plan? We'd all feel better if we knew the plan." Lori said.
"Is there a plan?" Andrea asked.
"Are we gonna keep him in there?" Glenn asks.
"Are we gonna kill him?" I ask horrified.
"We'll know soon enough." Rick said as Lori passed me and Carl cups of water.
"Boy there's got a gang. thirty men, they have heavy artillery and they ain't looking to make friends." Daryl says as he approaches. "They roll through here, our boys are dead. "And our women they're gonna.. they're gonna wish they were."
"What did you do?" Carol asks.
"Had a little chat, Daryl replies as I look at his hand.
"No one goes NEAR this guy." Rick explains.
"Rick, what are you gonna do?" Lori asks, Carl and I look at each other.
"We have no choice. He's a threat. We have to eliminate the threat. We have to go with Joseph's way." MY eyes widen.
"What!? No, No, I was asking because I didn't want that to happen!"
"You're just gonna KILL him?" Dale asks.
"It's settled, I'll do it today." Rick says as I stare in shock.
"Ohhh no..." I mutter
"It's okay. He deserves it." Carl says as he pats my back.
"Yeah, yeah, okay.. I guess you're right.." I sigh.
"See? We kill bad people that want to kill us." I nod.
"I'd rather not, but yeah, that is the rule now." I look around, observing my surroundings to calm my shaky hands as I sip my water.
"Yeah, that's it, just relax." Carl reassures me as he sips his water.
"Let's do it. Us two." I grin, and it's Carl's turn to be shocked. "I'm kidding, relax." He calms down.
"Better be!" He playfully punches my arm.
"Ow that hurt!" I seethe my teeth.
"Oh, sorry." Carl winces.
"Kidding again! Got you!" I giggle and he groans.
"Why do I always get tricked." He sighs, swirling his cup to make the water spin hypnotically. I look up at the sky when thunder rumbles.
"It's gonna rain soon." I say, look back at Carl. He gets up and walks away as I follow him.
"So he's a kid?" Carl asks. "How old is he?"
"Actually, Probably like 17." I smile, thinking I was smart by saying that.
"Yeah, so, he ain't a kid, just that's a figure of speech." Shane remarks. I frown, what so he's and adult, ew.
"Can we see him?" Carl asks for the both of us.
"No." Shane replies firmly, make me frown even harder. Look man, this is.. this is grown up stuff, alright? You just.. Just let us handle this." Shane walks off.
"Ugh, lame." I roll my eyes.
"Come on.. I wanna go see him.." Carl groans angrily and climbs up to an area, I follow.
