Xander walked past the truck that was parked outside the 'Police station', which was basically where the troopers held up, until they got their assignment.

He noticed Carol and Daryl talking, until Vickers, one of the colonels, spoke behind him.

"Grimes. You coming today?" She questioned, but it also felt like a demand. He already gotten his armor on, so it wasn't like he had a choice. He gave her a nod "Good." She replied, walking in front of him and asking the same to Daryl before going inside the building.

Xander was putting his gloves on when Carol and Daryl saw him "Hey, Xan?" Carol called him, and he lifted his head up and wandered over "We're having dinner at noon at the Diner, you and Corina wanna come?"

The offer was unexpected, but Corina and him could spend some time out of the apartment. "Yeah of course."

Carol gave him a warm smile "See you both later." she said to both of them, before leaving.

Xander watched her leave for a few seconds, until he followed Daryl into the building.

He picked up two donuts from a tray biting into one and giving the other to Xander, whilst they walked over to the desk that Rosita was perched up on.

Rosita let out a chuckle when she saw them eating the donuts, making Daryl perk up "What?" He asked, and she set her papers down so she could stand.

"Just you two are really living up to that stereotype." She smiled with an innocent shrug.

Xander rolled his eyes and continued to eat it with no problem.

"I mean, I liked 'em before. Rhea used to love them." Daryl shot back, splitting his in half and chucking her the other piece.

"Who the heck doesn't like these?" Xander also added before the door swung open and Vickers came walking in.

She was slightly miserable at times and was very serious when it came to her job. "Good morning. Today's duty assignments are as follows... Douglas and Ross, Sector A. Lim and Baker, you're B. McHugh and Howell, take C. And Espinosa, Grimes and Dixon, I want you on Sector D." She announced, closing the file and looking up "Any questions?" There was silence. "Alright, let's get to it."

Everyone started to get into their groups and get ready.

It didn't take long for Daryl and Rosita to get ready, thankfully, but once they did they went straight outside.

Xander was putting his helmet on as another trooper caught up to them "Hey, a swarm has been spotted near the north perimeter. We've been assigned to check it out."

Rosita gave Daryl and Xander an odd look before looking back at the other trooper "Vicker says we only work on patrol."

"Yeah, and now she wants to see what you can do outside the walls." The man replied, getting a little bit annoyed as they just stayed silent. "Your sector's covered, so let's go. Plus, there's three of you, so it's fine. Come on!"
