y/n's pov:
after getting your bike onto the back of t-dog's truck you decide to ride in the rv with glenn, dale, jacqui and jim. mostly to keep an eye on the infected man and partially to be close to glenn during the ride, but mostly jim. you were skeptical about rick's idea of the c.d.c having a cure, or even being in operation at all. but you know you need to stay on rick and the group's good side, so you settle on watching over the man. as you approach the rv, you walk to the rv and see glenn standing outside of it, talking to dale. "you got room for one more?" you ask as you stand infront of them and theybith turn to look at you, smiles on their faces.

'jeez they're too friendly for their own good' you think, and dale nods "of course, jim and jacqui are in the back, glenn and i will be in the front so feel free to take the booth." he answers and you back "thanks guys." you say and glenn was about to say something before shane interupts him, "alright y'all, its go time!" he yells and everyone files into their assigned vehicles.

glenn and dale enter the rv and you go in after them, sitting in the booth table. glenn was seated by dale who was driving and he glances back at you before turning towards the windshield. you take your walkman and headphones form your backpack, putting them on and starting the tape that was already in it. it was a mixtape that was made for you, by your father before he passed. you lean back in the booth seat, your eyes on jim, who was laying on the bed in the back looking feverish. jacqui was sitting next to him, but you couldn't hear what she was saying over the music. your eyes focus on jim's sweaty, pained face and you feel a pang of sympathy. 'poor guy, we should just put him out of his misery' you think as the rv starts moving, and you look out the window, watching the scenery of the quarry pass by as "hysteria" by def leopard plays through your headphones.

about an hour and a half later you feel the rv stop, your eyes move from jim to the front seats of the rv where dale and glenn were seated. "damn radiator hose bursted again." dale says, putting the rv in park. 'just great' you think as you turn off your walkman and take off your head phones, placing them into your backpack before walking to the back of the rv where jim and jacqui were. they both look up as you approach "radiator hose bursted, we had to stop." you explain, studying jim's face. he looked even worse than before, eyes bloodshot and sunken, hair soaked with sweat and an ever present grimace on his flushed face.

the man groans as jacqui wipes his forehead with a damp rag "oh god, everthing hurts. my skin feels like its on fire." he rasps out and you look away, at jacqui. "i'm gonna talk to rick. you stay with him." you say and she nods before you turn and walk to the door of the rv, swinging it open and hopping down next to glenn. you catch the last part of dale was filling the group in on the rv situation. "i told you we'd never get far on that hose. we're not movin any time soon, unless we get a new one." he urges and rick sighs, rubbing a hand down his face "can you jerry rig it?" he asks and dale shakes his head before he responds "that's all it's been so far. it's more duct tape than hose at this point. and i'm all out of duct tape."

shane turns to the group from where he was looking out with his binoculars "i see something up ahead. a gas station, if we're lucky. i can go check it out and try to find a replacement." he offers and you were about to volunteer to go with jacqui steps out of the rv, her face as panicked as her voice "y'all, jim, he's getting worse by the second. i don't think he can take much more of this." she says and a wave of that oh so familiar dread washes over you once more. 'we're gonna have to kill him, aren't we?' you think as shane and rick exchange looks, like they're having a silent conversation.
