Safe haven, Rick Grimes

028. A TRIP TO OUR HOMETOWN

Chapter twenty eight

"A trip to our hometown." 

The next morning, Scarlett was driving down the road, as Rick was in the passenger, Carl and Michonne were in the back, as they came across a man on the side of the road "hey! Hey! Slow down! Slow.." he begged, as they drove right by him "i'm begging you!" the man voiced, running after the car, as they continued down the road, they soon came across a car wreck, as Scarlett turned the wheel to the left to drive through it, there was a walker underneath the car to their left, as the car stopped moving.

Scarlett huffed, as she pressed her foot on the gas, the wheels spun, she took her foot off the gas and looked to Rick "getting stuck in the mud is not my fault." she told him, as walkers banged on both sides of the car "cover your ears." Rick told them, as all three of them did so, Rick rolled down the window and stuck his gun through it, putting his other hand up to his ear and shooting the walker.

They had then killed the rest of them, as the four of them were standing outside the car, leaning against the one on the road, Rick found a blanket "this'll work." he told them, as Scarlett walked back toward's the car, getting into the drivers seat, she watched Rick and Carl walk over to the front of the car, she watched Michonne "put something under the car like this with a little gravel and sticks." Rick shared with Carl as the two crouched down "gives you traction." Rick told him "she always told me she was a bad driver in reality and mario kart." Carl told him.

As Rick chuckled, standing up and walking toward's the right wheel of the car, Carl followed him, as the two crouched down, Carl looked at Michonne then to Rick "why'd you let her come? She took you to woodbury and you said she just split on you. And Oscar died and you.." he shared "it wasn't that simple. I asked her to come today. I didn't want to leave her at the prison if I wasn't there, not with Merle. That and we got common interests. For right now, we have the same problems. So maybe we can work on them together." Rick shared "just for right now?" Carl asked "yeah, just for right now." Rick told them.

"Hey!" that man from the road yelled again, as they all turned looking at him "I'm begging you! Don't leave! Please!" the man voiced, as Rick hit the back of the car, Scarlett started the car up and drove forward, as Rick, Carl and Michonne got back in, they began driving off.

Making it back to what used to be their home town, Scarlett soon parked the car as they all got out and began walking, they went into the police station, as they went to the back to the gun locker it was cleaned out entirely, more then when they were last here, as Rick walked in, he kicked the wall, putting his gun in his holster, he ran his hands through his hair "hey, hey." Scarlett told him, walking up to him, Rick looked at her, Carl watched them, as Michonne bent down grabbing the bullet on the ground "you got any other police stations in town?" she asked.

"I was the police here. Me and a few other guys. It ain't a big town. There's other places to check. May not have as many guns as were in here, but.." Rick shared "we need as many guns as were in here." Michonne shared, as Scarlett turned to her "and your not helping." she told her, as she looked back at Rick "where can we go?" she asked "there's a few places out on main street..bars, a liquor store. Owners had a gun or two behind the counter that people didn't know about. I did. I signed the permits. They might still be there." Rick shared.

As Scarlett looked to Michonne "if it's fine with you?" she asked her "I don't have a problem." Michonne told her, holding up the bullet, Scarlett took it from her, as Michonne turned walking out, Scarlett handed it to Rick.
