ALEXANDRIA

Rick, Ian, Vivian, Gabriel, Michonne, Carl, Jenna, Jessie, Ron, and Sam are still slowly making their way through the herd wearing the sheets covered in walker blood.

Jenna looks around the walkers passing them by clutching onto Carl's hand tightly while holding Judith closer to her chest under the sheet.

Vivian looks over her shoulder to her brother then scans her eyes around the area.

A walker stalks past her, it's insides hanging out of its stomach. Rick and Ian are in front leading them through the herd

Rick: All right, new plan. Flares from a few guns aren't enough.

Ian: Too many walkers, too spread thin. We're not going to the armory.

Rick: We need our vehicles back at the quarry.

Jenna is looking around while clutching Judith under the blanket tightly.

Rick: All of us drive. We'll need to round em up

Vivian scans her eyes around the area sharing a look with Jenna.

Ian: We leave, we come back.

Jessie: Okay. But Judith.......to the quarry and back, I.....

Rick and Ian exchanges a knowing look with each other.

Gabriel: I'll take her. Keep her safe in my church, I saw Grady heading there, he'll help keep her safe.

Michonne: Can you do this?

Gabriel: I'm supposed to. I have to. I will.

Vivian looks at her dad sending him a nod. Jenna walks closer carefully switching Judith from her to underneath Gabriel's sheet.

Vivian presses her lips to her little sister's forehead before Gabriel covers her up with the sheet.

Jessie: Take Sam

Sam: No.

Jessie: Yes, Sam, it'll be safer.

Sam: I'm not leaving you.

Jessie: Sam----

Sam: Mom, I'm not. I can keep going.

Jessie: Sam----

Sam: I can keep going. Please.

Ian looks between them both

Sam: Please. Let's just go.

Jessie: Okay.

Gabriel looks over at Rick

Gabriel: I'm going to keep her safe.

Vivian: Thank you.

She watches as Gabriel slowly begins walking through the herd in the direction of the church.

Jessie: Hey he's gonna make it

She grabs onto Ian's hand making him look at her

Jessie: Okay? I know it.

Ian shallows a gulp, slowing nodding his head. Vivian exhales a sharp breath, giving Sam a blank look

They link their hands back together and begins making their way through the herd.

NIGHT

They're making their way through a field, hands linked together and walkers snarling all around them. Vivian nervously looks around the snarling herd clutching onto Jessie's hand.

Jenna squeezes Carl's hand tightly in hers. Sam turns his head and looks into a walker's eyes with a unknown scared look in his eyes.

He stops in his tracks when he spots a child walker who has its back turned stalking down the street. He lets go of Ian's hand.
