"How'd you survive for so long?" Rick asked Gabriel as he held Judith in his hands. I was able to get a new shirt, the whole interaction with the man didn't bother Michonne and I. "Where did your supplies come from?"

But four men thought otherwise. They were oddly watching us and making sure we were close by. If anything Michonne was getting more pissed off than I was.

"Luck" Gabriel said, I wanted to roll my eyes at that answer. No one actually has that much luck they way we was acting when I couple of walkers got near him. "Our annual canned food drive. Things fell apart right after we finished it. It was just me." Gabriel went on and explained. There seemed something fishy about this story.

"Come here, Judith" Carl said as he took the baby from Rick's hands.

"The food lasted a long time. And then I started scavenging. I've cleaned out every place nearby. Expect for one." Gabriel said as he kept his hands placed in front of him.

"What kept you from it?" I asked Gabriel as I stood next to Rick.

"It's overrun." Gabriel said as he looked down at me.

"How many?" I asked him.

"A dozen or so. Maybe more." Gabriel said as he looked between Rick and I. Rick first nodded his head at me and then to the others.

"We can handle a dozen" Rick said as he looked back at Gabriel.

"Bob and I will go with you. Tyreece should stay here, help keep Judith and Evie safe." Sasha said as he moved next to Gabriel. I looked over at Tyreece and I saw him smile as he looked up from holding Evie.

"That'll be okay?" Rick asked as he looked over at Tyreece.

"Sure" Tyreece said with a smile. "You ever need me to watch them, need anything for them, I'm right here." Tyreece said,I smiled and it felt good someone cared about my baby as much as he did.

"We're grateful for it" Rick said as he was mentioning him  and I. "And everything else."

"I'll draw you a map" Gabriel said as he walked towards the small room in the front of the church.

"You don't need to. You're coming with us." Rick said as he turned around and stoned Gabriel.

"I'm not gonna be of any help" Gabriel said as he let out a small laugh. "You saw me. I'm no good around those things."

"It time you learn" I said with a smile as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"You're coming with us" Rick said from behind me. And Gabriel just nodded.

...

While Michonne, Rick, Bob, Sasha and Daryl went to go get more supplies. Tara, Glenn and I went to go find some more ammo.

Tara which I learned was a really big talker and I didn't mind it so much. We were sitting outside waiting for Glenn to get done and which he was talking forever.

"You know, I didn't want to mention anything when we looked this place up in the phone book, but I just can't imagine a gun store having leftovers nowadays" Tara said as she looked at the building.

"Don't look good, does it?" I asked her as I looked up at the building. I saw her staring at my arm and I let out a smile. "You can ask"

"Did it hurt?" She quickly asked as she walked over to me. I let out a small laugh at her question.

"Not really. I was in so much shock that I didn't feel any pain but in my stomach with the baby" I said as I looked down at my metal arm.

We heard a loud bang and we quickly walked over to the to the store. We slowly saw Glenn come out holding a gun. I looked at him with a confused look.

"Was it a Walker?" Tara asked as she looked at Glenn who stumbled out of the building.

"Uh, yeah. It was a Walker." Glenn said as he lowered his gun and looked at us.

"Really?" I asked him as I gave him a look. I saw him look at me and then put his head down.

"It was a stack of boxes and a mop and I tripped" Glenn said as he rubbed the back of his head. I couldn't help but let out a little giggle. "Still...got what we came for." Glenn said as he pulled out something from his back pocket.

"You actually found something?" Tara asked as she looked down at what was in Glenn's hands.

"Three silencers stashed in a mini fridge." Glenn said proudly as he handed them to Tara. "Rule number one of scavenging there's nothing left in this world that isint hidden" Glenn said as we started to walk back.

"Rule number 2, don't trip over a stack of boxes and a mop" I said with a smile as I looked over at Glenn.

"Actually that's rule number three" Glenn said as he poked my side. I couldn't help but laugh even more at how dorky he was being.

"Really? Then what's number 2?" Tara asked as she came up beside me.

"Uh...don't travel in groups" Glenn said as he looked down at us. I rolled my eyes as we continued to walk.

"Wanna know something?" Tara asked as she looked at me. I gave her a smile.

"What?" I asked her as it looked like she was about to say something.

"When everyone got split up Glenn wouldn't stop talking about you. I pretty much know everything about you. Your favorite color is blue, you love wings, your favorite movie is the Prisoners, your move of a night owl, you don't wear socks to bed, you can only sleep to side closet to the wall, Everytime you go some place you always look for the nearest exits. And the list keeps going on and on" Tara said with a smile. I turned over and looked at Glenn who went completely red.

"That's cute. Looks like you do love me" I said with a smile as I kissed Glenn's cheek.
