Safe haven, Rick Grimes

002. THERE IS NO THINKING IT THROUGH

Chapter two

"There is no thinking it through."

The CB was static at first "hey, you alive in there?" the man asked again, as Scarlett and Rick walked over to the CB, Rick grabbed it first, pressing his finger down on the button "hello? Hello?" he asked, releasing it "there you are. Although you don't exactly sound like a hot blonde." the man shared, and when he did, Scarlett chuckled, as Rick rolled his eyes, pressing down on the button "she's with me. Where are you? Outside? Can you see us right now?" he asked, letting go "yeah, I can see you. You're surrounded by walkers. That's the bad news." the man shared.

As Rick pressed down on the button "there's good news?" he asked, letting of the button "no." the man said, as Scarlett scoffed, grabbing the CB from him she pressed down on the button "then why would you say that's the bad news! I mean look at the situation were in!" she voiced, letting it go "oh, man. You should see it from over here. You'd be having a major freak out." the man shared, as Scarlett pressed down on the button "well how about we skip the freak out and work on getting out of here." she shared, letting go of the button.

Rick furrowed his brows "are you treating him like one of your interns?" he asked, as Scarlett looked to him "well he either could be help to us or continue freaking out." she shared "I'd say make a run for it." the man's voice came through, as Scarlett pressed down on the button "when I said get out of here, I mean alive." she told him, letting go of it "my way's not as dumb as it sounds. You got eyes on the outside here. There's one geek still up on the tank but the others have climbed down and joined the feeding frenzy where the horse went down. You with me so far?" the man asked.

As Scarlett pressed down on the button "so far." Rick said as he leaned over, Scarlett then let go of the button "okay, the street on the other side of the tank is less crowded. If you move now while they're distracted you stand a chance. You got ammo?" the man asked, as Rick and Scarlett looked at each other and they knew where it was, as Scarlett pressed down on the button "in that duffel bag we dropped out there, and guns. Can we get to it?" Rick asked "forget the bag, okay? It's not an option. What do you have on you?" the man asked, as Scarlett pressed down on the button "hang on." Rick said.

As Scarlett put down the CB, and looked at her rifle "I got mine off a military guy, hadn't really used it a lot since today so it should still have some rounds left. How about you?" she asked, as Rick checked the gun he got off the soldier, he then went back over to him to check for bullets but then found a grenade on the shelf next to him, he then came back over, as Scarlett pressed down on the button "we've got a riffle and a beretta with one clip, fifteen rounds." Rick shared, as Scarlett let go of the button.

"Make em count. Jump off the right side of the tank, keep going in that direction. There's an alley up the street, maybe fifty yards. Be there." the man said, as Scarlett dropped the CB and stood up, she walked over to the top hatch, Rick grabbed the CB pressing down on the button "hey, what's your name?" he asked, as Scarlett climbed up the pile of stuff "have you been listening? You're running out of time." the man shared, as Scarlett looked down at Rick "come on." she told him, taking her rifle off of her, Rick ran over, climbing up the pile of stuff.

Scarlett then opened the hatch and as she did, the one walker that was on top of the tank saw her, as she swung her rifle, knocking the walker off the tank, she climbed out of it, and headed to the right, Rick followed after her, as the two jumped down, they quickly got up off the ground, shooting the three walkers in front of them, they headed down the street, shooting four more then two more, before someone came out of the alleyway, the two aiming their guns at him "whoa! Not dead!" he voiced and it was the man from the radio, who didn't look older then twenty "come on! Come on!" he voiced, as they headed into the alleyway.
