[EDITING]
you took a polaroid of us,
then discovered,
the rest of the world was black and white,
but we were in screaming color,
and I remember thinking
are we out of the woods yet?

season 3, episode 9 (part 2)
The five of us had been on the road for a good time before an interference came across in the middle of the road. It was a rusting old red pick-up truck, blocking the entirety of the road.
From beside me Rick let out an annoyed grunt at the sight of the vehicle, slowing the car down until we were completely stopped. I turned my head towards the back seat to see the black woman slumped against the seat, her eyes slowly inspecting the four of us as the tension only thickened.
I removed my eyes from the woman, glancing over at Glenn and Maggie to see them staring off at the pick-up truck as well. I let out a sigh, pushing the car door open with ease.
In a flash Rick slammed his car door after me, quickly running after me as I made my way towards the motionless truck. As my eyes inspected the old rusting vehicle I could hear another car door slam, letting me know that Glenn and Maggie had joined us as well.
"Get the brakes." Rick ordered loudly. All I could do was nod my head, moving to open the truck door slowly.
A loud gasp escaped my mouth as a decaying body jumped towards me, I nearly tripped over myself at the sight. Beside me I could hear yelps escape from everyone, fast footsteps approaching as Glenn pushed the body to the ground.
Glenn brushed past me, pushing me away as he stomped his boot onto the walkers face repeatedly. Loud grunts come from him as he continued, my mouth gaped open in surprise.
My eyes slowly turned over towards Maggie and Rick, their guns pointed directly down at the creature that was now smushed by Glenn.
One last scream escaped Glenn as he realized he bashed the walkers head, he let out a wheezy breath, his hand resting on his side as he turned his body away from the three of us.
"God damn." I mumbled out to myself. Rick worriedly moved to follow after the beaten man, Maggie and I hesitantly following after.
The tension between the four of us was thick, but none of us had spoken a word about it since Daryl ran off. This was the first time we had been given the chance to properly talk, but I wasn't sure we were going to take that opportunity.
"You didn't kill him." Glenn rasped out, his brown eyes glaring up at a cautious Rick.
I gulped at his words, mentioning back to the discussion that revolved around the 'Governor'. I knew Glenn was upset that I didn't tell Rick what the man did, but I wasn't about to explain that moment in front of everyone, it was a traumatic experience.
"That's not why we went back." Rick replied confusingly, his eyes glancing over towards Maggie and I before returning to Glenn's.
"No. That's right. You went back for Daryl, and now he's gone again and the Governor is still alive." Glenn exclaimed loudly, a deep scowl on his face.
