Allison's POV

As morning came around Andrea was still on the ground with Amy not talking to anyone. Daryl and I were burning the walkers that attacked the camp together as we threw bodies into a fire.

I could see the group gathering around as I got Daryl's attention and motioned for us to head over. Daryl and I walked over as he spoke to the group loud enough so Andrea couldn't hear them. "Y'all can't be serious. Let that girl hamstring us? The dead girl's a time bomb."

"What do you suggest?" Rick asks looking at Daryl.

"Take the shot. Clear in the brain from here. Hell I can hit a turkey between the eyes from this distance."

"No. For God's sakes, let her be." Lori says looking between the men.

"Daryl is right about this Lori. I understand it's family but she could turn at any given moment and then we're dead or worse than that killing more of our own people." I said looking at Rick. "You know I'm right about this."

Rick and Shane share a look before I hear a scoff as Daryl walks away. I sigh looking between the two men. "Make the right choice before it's too late." I say as I walk back over ready to help Daryl again.

I watched as Daryl and Morales dragged one of our people over to the fire before Glenn stopped them. "What are you guys doing? This is for geeks. Our people go over there." He says pointing to the other pile of bodies ready to be buried.

"What's the difference? They're all infected." Daryl says panting slightly.

"Our people go in that row over there. We don't burn them! We bury them" He says obviously upset.

I took a sigh. "Okay Glenn it's alright. Daryl, Morales please move him to that row please. Glenn go take a walk and calm down. I got it from here." I said as I watched Glenn walk away.

Daryl looked at me as I gave him a knowing look before they picked up the body again dragging it before Daryl starts yelling again. "You reap what you sow."

"You know what? Shut up man." Morales says as they both drop the body in the other pile.

"Y'all left my brother for dead. You had this coming." He exclaims at everyone. I rolled my eyes as I knew he was doing this out of anger.

All of the sudden I hear Jacqui freaking out. "A walker got him. A walker bit Jim." She says backing away quickly.

"I'm okay." Jim says calmly as I watched him get held back before his bite was shown.

"Great another person that's a ticking time bomb." I mumbled to myself.

He kept repeating I'm okay over and over again trying to convince us all.

We all huddled up in a circle minus Jim and Andrea as we try to figure out the next move.

"I say we put a pickaxe in his head and the dead girls and he done with it." Daryl suggests.

"Is that what you'd want if it were you?" Shane asks.

"Yeah and I'd thank you while you did it."

"I hate to say it. I never thought I would but maybe Daryl's right." Dale says looking around.

"Jim's not a monster, Dale, or some rabid dog." Rick says.

"I'm not suggesting-" Dale says before getting interrupted.

"He's sick. A sick man. We start down that road, where do we draw the line?" Rick says looking at Daryl.

"The lines pretty clear. Zero tolerance for walkers or them to be." Daryl says.
