The Mini Badass

Chapter 38

I'm currently standing against the car with Bob who I just met while Michonne puts gas in the car. Daryl walks over, stopping beside us.

"Took ya long enough." I tell him, pushing myself off the car. "Just got chewed out by Maggie, keep your eye out for something for her so she don't kill me." He tells me and I laugh, taking his bag from him before throwing it in the trunk.

"You sure you want me coming?" Bob asks and Daryl takes out a piece of paper from his pocket. "Ains what does this say?" He asks, holding the paper in front of my eyes. "I don't fucking know, I can't read cursive."

"What your mouth." Daryl snaps at me, turning the paper over to Bob. "Zanamivir." Bob tells him and Daryl nods. "Yup, we need ya."

"What's up?" Daryl asks, his eyes focused behind me making me turn around. "Still got room for one more?" Tyreese asks and I glance between him and Daryl. "Yeah."

"Good, I just gotta get my gear."

The car ride has been painfully awkward mainly cause I'm stuck in the middle seat between Bob and Tyreese, Michonne and Daryl up front.

Daryl, I guess deciding he was done with the silence starts fiddling with the radio only getting static in return. 

"Pass me one of those CDs." He asks Michonne who opens the glove box, pulling out a stack of them. 

"...Find sanctuary." A voice says from the radio and I turn to look at Bob to make sure I'm not hearing things. "Was that a voice?" He asks and I look back to Daryl who shushes him.

"... Determined to survive..."

"... Keep alive..."

Suddenly Daryl swerves to avoid a walker, having to keep swerving to avoid more and more. Eventually the man has to stop as a horde of them blocks the road, more of them coming from the forest and open field.

All the walkers start swarming the car, pounding against it and growling at us. "Grab something!" Daryl shouts at us, throwing the car in reverse leaving Tyreese and Bob to help hold me down as we fly back.

Daryl plows down walkers until we're far enough away from the horde. "To the left." Michonne tells him, pointing to the small clearing. Daryl presses his foot on the gas but don't go anywhere. "We're jammed up."

"Make a run for the gaps right there." Daryl quickly tells us, pointing out at the few gaps. "You three make a run for the woods, don't stop for nothing you hear me?" He asks and we all nod before he slams his hand against the roof, popping open the sun roof.

"Now!" He shouts, jumping out the sun roof while Michonne gets out and starts slicing walkers down.

Bob and I get out and start shooting down walkers but Tyreese stays in the car. "Ty!" Bob shouts at the man. Tyreese eventually gets out of the car but instantly gets swarmed. "Go!" He yells at Bob and I and without a choice we do just that.

I reach Michonne who looks me over and I nod at her, telling her I'm fine. "Go, go!" Tyreese keeps yelling, making more and more walkers swarm him.

"We can't help him." Daryl tells us, grabbing my shoulder and pushing me into the woods. "Let's go." He tells the rest of the group and we all take off further into the forest.

We all run and I take out my knife, using it to take out walkers wanting to save my bullets. We reach a small clearly and Daryl takes the time to reload his crossbow. "Hold up."

I reload my gun as a bush nearby rustles and two walkers come out of it making Daryl raise his crossbow.

But a bolt isn't what takes them down but a hit from behind, revealing a blood and gut cover Tyreese.
