052. WALKERS IN THE QUARRY

Chapter fifty two

"Walkers in the quarry."

They all were standing beside a quarry that was filled with walkers, as they had put trucks up on all the exits to keep them back, they were gonna run through the plan, as Rick was looking at them all "I know this sounds insane, but this is an insane world. We have to come for them before they come for us. It's that simple. This is where it all starts tomorrow. Tobin get's in the truck, opens the exit and we're off. He hops out, catches up with his team at red staying on the west side of the road. Daryl get's on his bike." he shared, as a rumbling could be heard "you see that?" Sasha asked, as Rick turned around.

They all watched as the cliff that the truck that was keeping most of the walkers back was crumbling, the truck then began to plummet to the ground "it's open!" Tobin voiced "we've gotta do this now!" Rick voiced, as everyone began running "Tobin's group, get going, go!" Rick voiced "no, Rick, we're not ready." Carter shared, as Rick looked to Sasha "Sasha! Abraham!" he voiced "damn straight. We'll do it live." Abraham told him, as him and Sasha ran to the car "you meet Daryl at red. Let him take them through the gauntlet." Rick shared "yeah we meet a red." Sasha said "go!" Rick voiced.

As Daryl had his crossbow raised, Michonne had her sword at the ready, as Morgan had his bow staff, Scarlett had her gun in her hands that had gloves on them, as Glenn came running over 'Rick, I'll hit the tractor place." he told him "okay, who else?" Rick asked, walking away from him "Rick, this was supposed to be a dry run." Carter told him, but Rick wasn't listening "Daryl, get ready." he told him "they're coming." Daryl said, as the walkers began coming through the two trucks, Sasha and Abraham drove off "Rick, we haven't even gone through the whole plan." Carter shared.

"We can't go back. We're finishing this." Rick told him, turning around, Carter turned running off along with Heath "Tobin, you hit it on my signal. They're heading for home. We don't have a choice." he shared, as everyone began running off "get ready to hit the flares, now!" Rick voiced, as the engine started, one flare shot off, followed by another and another and another, as the walkers began coming through "Tobin, hit the truck!" Rick voiced, as the truck moved out of the way, Daryl shot one of the walkers as he then got on his bike and began leading them away.

Back on that night, everyone had went there own way after Reg and Pete were killed, where Rick, Scarlett, Daryl and Morgan had gone home, as Rick was holding Scarlett's hands and sewing the cuts on them and bandaging them, Daryl and Morgan were eating "you were right. It wasn't over." Morgan shared, as Rick looked to him, holding onto Scarlett's hands "we should talk more tomorrow. Listen..I don't take chances anymore." he told him, as Morgan nodded "and you shouldn't." he told him, as Rick turned looking at Scarlett, he put his arms around her and pulled her close to him and as he did, Scarlett hugged him back.

In real time, everyone was moving to their locations, as Rick was holding down the button to the walkie "you all have your assignments. You know where to rendezvous. Daryl leads em out. Sasha and Abraham join him at the bottom of the hill. Glenn, you hit us when you take care of the walkers at the tractor place. That's the one thing we've gotta get ahead of. Everybody keep your heads. Just keep up." he told them, as him, Scarlett, Michonne and Morgan we're all running to where they were supposed to wait, as they turned running right into the woods "we're at red at the bottom of the hill." Sasha's voice came through the walkie "all right, here comes the parade." Daryl said, as the three continued running.

That next morning, Scarlett was in Judith's room, holding her in her arms, as Carl walked by, looking at her, seeing her hands were bandaged up "mom?" he asked her, as Scarlett turned looking at him "yeah?" she asked him "what..what happened?" Carl asked her "me and your father spoke to them like you wanted and they listened." Scarlett shared, as Carl stepped in "I meant to you. I've seen your hands like that before and I never asked.." he shared "Carl we've been through a lot the past two days." Scarlett told him, stepping toward's him.
