Chapter eighteen
"They're not gonna trust either of us."
Having headed back inside, the two eyes were wide "what happened?" Hershel asked "there was a gunshot." Lori told them "I'm going after them." Andrea shared, standing up "don't they could be anywhere. And if that gunshot was from Randall and he comes back, we're gonna need you here." Lori shared, as the door opened, Daryl and Glenn walked in "Rick and Shane ain't back?" Daryl asked "no." Lori told them "we heard a shot." Daryl shared "we heard it to." Scarlett shared "maybe they found Randall." Lori shared.
"We found him." Daryl told them "is he back in the shed?" Patricia asked "he's a walker." Daryl shared "did you find the walker that bit him?" Hershel asked "no, the weird thing is he wasn't bit." Glenn shared "his neck was broke." Daryl shared, and when he did, Scarlett remembered what Jenner had told her, how they were all infected, where it didn't matter if you were bit or not, you die, you turn "so he fought back." Patricia said.
"The thing is Shane and Randall's tracks were right on top of each other. And Shane ain't no tracker, so he didn't come up behind him. No, they were together." Daryl shared "would you please go back out there, and find Rick and Shane and find out what on earth is going on?" Lori asked him "you got it." Daryl told her, turning to walk out "thank you." Lori told him, as Scarlett furrowed her brows "where's Carl?" she asked "upstairs." Maggie told her, as Scarlett turned around.
Heading upstairs, she looked in all the rooms and when she did, she found a set of binocular's as she picked them up, she turned around "Carl?" she asked, but when she did, Carl didn't come walking into the room, as she turned running downstairs, she saw Andrea grabbing the gun bag while Patricia turned off the lights, she went outside finding everyone else "I can't find Carl." she told them "what?" Daryl asked, as Lori's eyes went wide "you said he was upstairs! I went up there and he's not there!" Scarlett voiced "maybe he's hiding." Glenn told her "I called his name and he didn't come out. I checked every room. He's not there." Scarlett shared "I'm not leaving without my boy." Lori told them "we're not. We're gonna look again. We're gonna find him." Carol shared, as her, Lori and Scarlett headed back inside.
Scarlett and Lori had checked upstairs again but couldn't find him, as they ran back down "we can't find him anywhere." Lori told them "so maybe he snuck outside." Carol told them "why would he do that!" Scarlett voiced "he was here. He must've run off, maybe looking for Rick or just went after Randall himself." Carol shared "maybe he set the fire." Patricia said, as Lori and Scarlett looked to her and Beth with wide eyes, Scarlett ran to the door, as Lori followed after her.
The two had gone out back to the shed and as they did, Carl wasn't there either as the two headed back to the house, Carol came walking out "we checked the shed." Lori told her "we can't find him anywhere." Scarlett shared "he's not in the cellar or the attic." Carol told them "why can't he listen for once?" Lori asked "well if he went after Rick, he went that way." Scarlett shared, pointing to the woods, going to go, Carol stepped in front of her "no, you'll lead em right to him. We can't stay here!" she voiced "and we can't leave him here to die!" Scarlett voiced.
"You're gonna have to trust. If we find him, he's gonna need you and Lori. We've gotta go." Carol told her, as Scarlett let out a breath, putting her trust in Rick that if Carl was anywhere, he was with him "get the others." she told her, as Carol stepped around her and Lori heading inside "Carl!" Scarlett and Lori shouted, as the two began shooting walkers "Scarlett, Lori." Carol said, as the two turned to her, Beth and Patricia, Lori grabbed the bag on the ground "Hershel, it's time to go!" Scarlett yelled, but he just kept shooting walkers.
