Safe haven, Rick Grimes

007. THE GUNSHOT

Chapter seven

"The gunshot."

That chance that they wanted, to see how long they could survive, quickly came to a quick and fast potential end, as the jeep had broken down, leaving Shane and Scarlett stuck, the two of them took their chance, grabbing their guns and hopping out of the car, they broke off into a run and as they did, every walker around began following them, as the two turned shooting off rounds, they were practically surrounded, potentially on the verge of dying, before the RV came driving up to the left of them, the door swung open "get in! Get in! Come on! Come on!" Glenn yelled, as Scarlett and Shane, jumping into the RV.

The two landed on the ground, as Glenn shut the door "let's go! Let's go!" he voiced "hold on!" Rick voiced, as he began speeding out of there, Shane and Scarlett were catching their breath, as Carl got up "Scarlett, Shane." he told them, as he hugged Scarlett, Scarlett hugged him back "we're fine. Everyone's okay." she told him "Rick, they may be slow but they just..they don't tire, man. They just keep coming." Shane shared "good thing to know." Rick told them "thank you." Scarlett told them, as she let go of Carl, Carl let go of her as he went back to his mom "don't thank us, thank Daryl, he's the one who noticed." Lori shared.

"Daryl?" Scarlett asked, seeing as he only ever seemed to care about himself "he started honking and yelling his head off." Dale shared, as they all laughed "Rick, you got any moves left?" Shane asked "I got one." Rick told them "is it good?" Shane asked "it occurs to me we have friends in this town." Rick shared, turning back from the road to look at Glenn "Glenn, what do you think?" he asked "yeah." Glenn said "it'll buy us sometime." Rick shared, looking back at the road "a night or two till we figure out what we're doing." he added on "where?" Scarlett asked "the..the nursing home. Guillermo and his people." Glenn shared.

"The people who took you hostage?" Dale asked, as Glenn nodded "that doesn't sound.." Scarlett was saying "we parted on good enough terms." Rick shared "good enough doesn't bode me over with confidence." Dale shared "agreed." Scarlett said "hey, you two weren't there. You didn't see the way that Rick handled things. They're our friends. They'll take us in." Glenn shared, as they continued to drive.

They soon made it to the building in question, as they all got out of the RV, T Dog, Carol, Sophia and Daryl came walking up to them "i bet they're barely hanging on. What makes you think they'll take in strangers?" Andrea asked "with all the guns we gave em, they'll probably throw us a party. Good call, for once." Daryl said.

As they headed to a wall that had two openings, Glenn, T Dog, Daryl, Rick, Dale, Lori and Carl hopped down from the left side while Scarlett, Andrea, Carol, Sophia and Shane came through the one on the right, they all began walking "where are the lookouts?" Glenn asked, as they walked around the corner, a walker was feeding on someone "son of a bitch." Shane said, as they walked further in more walkers were feeding, as Lori and Carol hid Carl and Sophia, Scarlett looked to Rick "should we shoot them?" she asked.

All the walkers then looked to them "to hell with the noise." Rick said, stepping forward, he, Scarlett, Shane, Glenn, T Dog and Dale were all shooting them, Andrea, Carol, Sophia, Lori and Carl all got down, where when they were dead, the others then stood up, as Rick began walking to the building "come on! On me!" he voiced, as he ran off, they all ran after him.

Heading through a dark hallway, they soon made it back out into the daylight, going into another building to the right, Rick, Daryl and Shane went in first while Scarlett, Sophia, Carol, Andrea, Carl, Lori, Glenn, Dale and T Dog followed in behind, a dead person's feet could be seen from outside one of the rooms, as Sophia started crying, Scarlett looked to her "shh. Look at me. Look at me." she whispered to her "keep your voices down." Shane told them, as they continued walking through more dead bodies were in the room, as Sophia started crying even more, Carol had her hand over her mouth.
