"They should've been back by now," said Andrea as she entered to dining room, shortly after Charlie and Maggie brought plates and utensils to help Patricia who was preparing dinner.
"Yeah. They probably holed up somewhere," said Shane and sat down on a chair. "We will head out first thing in the morning," he announced and nodded to Patricia when she gave him a bowl of food. "Thank you."
Charlie thought that Shane was probably jumping up and down when he heard that Rick was gone somewhere again- especially now when Lori was pregnant and they didn't know whose baby was that. That's why he was so calm about the other man's absence. Besides, Hershel's gone was also good news to him. He was already acting like he was a boss around here and the whole farm belonged to him.
"Carl, I want you to keep your head up, okay?" Shane said to the boy. "Your old man, he's the toughest son of a"
"No cussing in the house," Patricia warned Shane with a serious expression.
Shane muttered a quiet apology.
"Charlie, you okay?" Shane asked and she felt disgusted by him. He was acting as if this house was his and as if nothing really happened earlier that day. "Look, maybe I shouldn't..."
"Maybe?" she scoffed.
"Yeah, maybe," he said. "I didn't know that she was there. I already apologized to Carol."
"How sweet of you," she said. "What about Hershel and the girls? You knew there was their family in that barn, and..."
"Where is she?" Dale asked drawing attention to the other conversation.
Quickly they realized that they were talking about Lori, who was missing and no one knew where she was. Shane furrowed his eyebrows. "Carl, when was the last time you saw your mom?"
"This afternoon."
"She was worried about Rick, and asked me go look in on Carl, because..." Andrea said looking at Charlie. "Because Charlie...was occupied."
Charlie threw her a nasty look and rolled her eyes. They were worried about Lori, but Andrea just had to make this about herself.
"She went after them?" Carol asked.
"She didn't say that," Andrea said.
"Nobody panic," Shane informed. "Gonna be around here somewhere."
They looked probably every millimeter of the farm. Every blade of grass was inspected to see if there was any sign of the missing woman. But it seemed that she just vanished in the air. Like she was never at the farm. Charlie wasn't heartless and she was worried because since coming to the farm, Lori had shown her her other side which was warm and inviting. For example, she was trying to comfort her after Daryl was shot. And on top of that Grimes was pregnant, it wasn't just her to be worried about.
