Flashback from the end of the last chapter:
"Honey, are you still holding out?" Abraham asked Sophie while looking at her, to which Sophie then nodded in confirmation and Abraham turned away from Sophie and looked at Glenn and Rosita.
"Well then it's decided, we'll walk until sunset and you stay with Sophie." It came from Abraham and at the end he turned to Rosita, who then simply nodded while the others then started running to continue and so the group left continue to find their way to Terminus where Glenn hopes to see Maggie see again there but he also hopes to see Sasha and the others.
Now:
Sometime later the group arrived at a tunnel while still following the tracks. Glenn ran towards the tunnel when he saw something written on the side.
"Again "Glenn go to Terminus, Maggie, Sasha, Bob" we'll pick up the writing is wet" came from Glenn as he touched the wall of the tunnel and went to the entrance of the tunnel. "Coming to the top is definitely not going any further, that's for sure," came Abraham as he looked up. "Mom..." came Sophie, frightened, as she walked closer to Rosita when Sophie heard something from inside the tunnel It sounded a lot like walkers, but definitely more than one. "Stay close to me," Rosita said seriously and worriedly as she held her daughter closer to her while her other hand rested on the holster of her pistol on her hip. The others now looked into the dark tunnel where these noises came from. “If we go around the outside it will take half a day or more,” Glenn said while looking left, right and up when Abraham suggested that they could go around the outside. "If Maggie is through there then I'll go through there too, we're close," Glenn said firmly as he looked into the tunnel while holding his rifle in one hand. "Mao hold your breath and be quiet." came from Abraham as he walked closer to the entrance of the tunnel when he also heard the noises."Do you hear that? This is a long, dark tunnel that is full of lively corpses, Sophie Jatte has just said that and why do you think Rosita Her hand is on her weapon? Not without reason and even Tara noticed that, "sorry Tara," Abraham said seriously as he took his rifle in his hand, whereupon Glenn thought for a moment what he should do."I don't know if I think Sophie, Eugene and even Rosita made it through safely," Abraham said seriously, but there was also a hint of uncertainty in his voice as he looked into the tunnel, whereupon Glenn looked at Abraham. "My suggestion would be to take the detour and go a day longer and be on the safe side, but I know you well enough now to be able to say that you won't do that," came Abraham seriously but calmly as he looked at Glenn Abraham was still looking at him."So this is where we part ways, I'm sorry, I can't risk my family's life and neither can Eugene's," Abraham said seriously while he put his backpack down for a moment and seemed to be looking for something. "No, you don't have to," Tara said as she looked at Glenn, who gave her a small, rather sad smile but said nothing.
Suddenly Abraham held something out to Glenn.
"No, they belong to you, you will need them for yourself," Glenn said seriously but also understandingly as he looked down at Abraham who was holding out 2 cans of food to Glenn. "Yes, but you need them just as much as we do," he said seriously Abraham looked at Glenn as he held the cans out to him, whereupon Tara shrugged and hobbled over to Abraham and took the cans from him and gave him a smile, whereupon Glenn thanked Abraham for the food. Abraham then took out a flashlight which he held out to Glenn, which he also accepted.
"Hey, I'm sorry I hit you," Glenn said softly while smiling slightly. "Not me," Abraham said with a smile as he stood up and looked at Glenn. "Well, I like fighting," Abraham added while still smiling, whereupon Glenn laughed slightly. Abraham then turned around and went to Eugene and the others, whereupon Rosita went to Glenn after Abraham then went to Eugene. "Good luck," Rosita said with a smile as she hugged Glenn with one arm because she had her rifle in the other hand. Glenn returned the hug and they both separated and Sophie also said goodbye to Glenn and then went to Tara.
“Take care of yourself,” Sophie said with a smile as she went to Tara, whereupon Tara grinned. "Sure, you better take care of yourself and try to stay alive, yeah?" Tara then said with a smile, whereupon Sophie nodded. "So take care of yourself, little one," came Tara as she looked at Sophie and held out her fist for a fist bump, whereupon Sophie countered her fist and smiled before she went back to Abraham and the others. Just as Abraham, Rosita and Sophie wanted to leave, Eugene spoke up. "You're both good people," Eugene started talking and paused for a moment before continuing, seeming like he knew what to say but not how. "And um, you...you're...really, really hot, Tara..." Eugene said quietly as he looked at Tara, who was now also looking at him. "Yes, and I like women," was all Tara said in a normal tone, whereupon Eugene told her it was clear to him, whereupon Tara smiled, shaking her head, and went to the entrance to the tunnel and looked uncertainly.
"Hey, turn around if you have problems, turn around, we'll walk back to the last intersection and maybe you'll find us before we find a new vehicle," Abraham said seriously as he turned around again and looked at Glenn, who thanked him, whereupon Abraham nodded . So Eugene, Rosita, Abraham and Sophie went back without Glenn and Tara, which initially meant saying goodbye and they walked off in silence while Tara and Glenn went into the tunnel and talked about whether the others were okay and what happened.
After a while the small group arrived at a street where Eugene and Abraham looked to see if they could find a vehicle that still worked. Eugene got into a car and tried to get it started but it didn't work. Meanwhile, Abraham looked around but suddenly turned around when he heard a noise in the car behind him. Abraham approached cautiously and realized it was a walker so he turned to Rosita who was at Eugene's with Sophie. "Hey, will you take this one? I'll take the front one" Abraham asked Rosita as he turned to her because there were two walkers in the car, one in the front and one in the back. Rosita nodded and then told Sophie that she should stay with Eugene for a moment, whereupon Sophie nodded. So Rosita went to the back of the car, pulled out her knife before opening the door. The walker tried to grab Rosita but she quickly stabbed him in the head with the knife, causing the walker to fall out. Meanwhile, Abraham had also killed the one in front and got behind the wheel. "The car works, it just needs to be ventilated." Then it came to Abraham when he checked whether the car was still running.
"Good, until then we'll figure out how to get back on our actual route," came Rosita as she put her backpack down on the ground while Abraham operated the windshield wipers. After Rosita had put down her backpack she took out a card when suddenly Eugene Mot Sophie came when he saw it.
“No no no, you can bend that,” came Rosita when Eugene wanted to take the card from her. "I am the navigator." Eugene then said it seriously as he looked at Rosita, who was holding the map in her hand and placing it on the hood of the vehicle in which Abraham was sitting.
"Then learn to navigate first, remember Thompson already?" It now came in a rather sharper tone. Eugene looked at her briefly before looking away and then back at Rosita before saying anything. "I'm formally asking Gabz to try again, I got us from Houston to Georgia without incident.
"Well, I wouldn't call it without an incident," Abraham suddenly said as he got out of the car, which was a station wagon, whereupon Sophie giggled slightly. “It was a minimal incident, at least as far as navigation was concerned,” Eugene said while looking at Rosita after Abraham left. "Please, I can't live in any reality with you as a navigator, I'm a son of the south who has successfully overcome the detours of many real and virtual routes," Eugene now said seriously, who continued to look at Rosita, who just laughed and shook her head and sighed . Rosita put on her backpack, took the map and walked closer to Eugene. "All right, we're heading north, got it?" Rosita didn't seem serious as she sighed and put the card in Eugene's hand and walked away with Sophie to look around. While Sophie was with Rosita and the two of them looked around for useful things, Abraham continued to take care of the station wagon and now brought in his backpack that he had in front of him and the child seat that he had taken with him from the truck and put both of them in there while he fastened the child seat properly. "Wow, the car is running," Sophie said with fascination and excitement when she heard that the car was working, whereupon Rosita smiled at her daughter's enthusiasm. "Yes, your father can do the impossible, even if he is a huge idiot sometimes," Rosita said, shaking her head before she looked at her daughter. After a few minutes the two went to the car where Eugene and Abraham were already waiting.
"And anything useful?" Abraham asked Rosita after he gave her a nut which she returned and then they broke up. "Some ammunition but better than nothing" was what Rosita said, to which Abraham replied with a "true". "Let's go ahead and get in the car," we usually said very seriously and in a commanding tone, whereupon Eugene got in the passenger door. "Hey, are you driving?" Abraham then asked Rosita who gave him a nod and got in at the front while Abraham opened the back door. "What's the child seat doing in the front here? In my opinion, the child should go to the back, a child doesn't belong in the front when I'm navigating," he said seriously and in a tone similar to Eugene's as he turned to Abraham while Rosita packed her and Sophie's backpacks to the back . Abraham looked at Rosita briefly before looking at Eugene and answering him. “Are you unlucky, the child seat stays in the front and Sophie sits in the middle,” Abraham said seriously as he sat down in the car, whereupon Eugene rolled his eyes and got in the front. Rosita opened the driver's door and helped Sophie into the car, who first sat in the driver's seat and then slid further to sit in the child seat. Rosita now sat in the driver's seat, closed the door and buckled Sophie in before starting the engine.“I dare betide you, you are navigating wrong,” it came in a warning but also admonishing tone as she looked at Eugene, who nodded. Rosita put her hands on the steering wheel and was now ready to drive off.
That's it for the chapter I hope you like it too :)
