"They're suppose to be back by now."
Michonne's words were exactly why Athena was tapping her foot against the floor and staring at the gates right in front of her.
The attack of Alexandria had been early in the morning and now was mid-afternoon. Michonne and Jisung were telling Maggie, Eve, Rosita and Athena what had happed.
The walkers were doing fine traveling to the meeting point when the truck that had crashed into the clock tower had signaled half the herd after them.
Michonne and Jisung were lucky to come back, and as much as Athena was happy that Jisung was back, what worries her was that the whereabouts of Changbin, Daryl, Rick, Abraham and Glenn were unknown.
"The town was overrun. He split off with Nicholas." Jisung stated "He had this idea that... if we lit a fire it would stop the walkers from coming here. I tried to go instead. I wanted to. The fire never got lit. We had to keep going. I'm sorry. He said if he got stuck, he would find a way to send a signal."
"A signal?" Maggie questioned.
"Open the gate!" A voice shouted from outside "Open the gate!"
Jisung, Athena, Eve, Maggie and Michonne quickly ran to the gates coming face to face with Rick racing as fast as he could away from the horde of walkers that were suppose to be following Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham.
Rick leaped through the small gap before Michonne and Athena slammed it shut.
"Dad!" Carl shouted racing from the street, he hugged him relieved to see his father alive.
"You can hear it." Rick started taking center stage.
Jisung stood next to Eve, with Athena and Carl on each of their sides.
"Some of you saw it. They got back here, half of them. Still enough to surround us 20 deep. Look, I know you're scared. You haven't seen anything like this. You haven't been through anything like this. But we're safe. For now. The panel the truck hit seems intact. We reinforced it just in case. Either way that wall's gonna hold together. Can you?" Rick questioned.
Athena felt eyes on her and glanced up to Ron, his eyes bore with hatred towards her and Carl. She glared at the boy as he moved his eyes towards her, but averted his eyes once he saw the glare she was giving him.
"The other's, they're gonna be back." Rick promised.
"They're gonna be back." Athena repeated.
Rick nodded "Daryl, Changbin, Abraham and Sasha they have vehicles. They're gonna lead them away, just like the others. And Glenn and Nicholas are gonna walk back through the front gate after. They know what they're doing and we know what we need to do. We keep noise to a minimum. Pull our blinds at night. Even better, keep the lights out. We'll try to make this place as a graveyard, see if they move on."
