I sprint besides Rick, following him through the grass field as he holds a passed out Carl in his arms.

"Hey! Come on, move, shithead! You get us there!" Shane shouts and pulls at the hunter

"How far!? How far?!" Rick stops and turns back to ask

"Another half mile! That way! Hershel! Talk to Hershel he'll help your boy!" The man shouts and points forward

Rick continues running again and I'm about to follow but then the heavy man falls while panting.

"I'm sorry..." He breathes out

Shane grabs his arm and I grab the other.

"Fucking get up! Now! Come on!" I shout while helping Shane drag him up and continue

I look up at Rick in the distance then back at Shane.

"I'm gonna go with Rick, you got him??" I ask

"Yeah, yeah, go" he nods

I let go of the man and quickly sprint after Rick again, quickly catching up to him.

We run up to a big farmhouse and see a girl yell to her dad then run inside.

A old man throws the door open and there's multiple people behind him

"Was he bit?" The man asks

"Shot. By your man" Rick says

"Otis?" A lady asks

"He said find hershel, is that you??" I ask

"Help me! Help my boy!" Rick cries out

"Get him inside!" The man shouts then everyone quickly goes back inside

Rick follows the man, still with Carl in his arms.

I follow after them, keeping an eye on the others.

The man shouts to the others specific stuff he needs.

We walk into a room and the man throws the blanket off the bed before telling Rick to lay Carl down.

Rick does as he's told and stares down at carl.

"Pillowcase" the man says while pulling up Carl's shirt

"I-is he alive?" Rick asks again

"Pillowcase. Quick" the man says again

"Rick" I say while still looking down at Carl

Rick grabs a pillow off the bed and takes the pillowcase off.

"Fold it, make a pad. Put pressure on the wound" the man says

Rick does as he's told, I step aside as the other girls get supplies ready.

"I've got a heartbeat" the man says as he holds the stethoscope to Carl's heart

I sigh in relief and a tear rolls down my cheek.

"It's faint" the man says

"I got it. Step back" the blonde woman says to Rick

She takes over holding the pillowcase to Carl's wound

"Maggie, IV" the man says

"We need some space" the brunette girl, 'Maggie', says

"Your name?" The man asks

"R-r-rick..." Rick says

"Rick?" The man asks

"I-i'm-- I'm-- I'm r-rick, I'm Rick..." Rick stutters out and nods
