Cross of heart

Seventeen

It was the next morning and Jen was outside with Glenn and Hershel looking at a map.

Glenn had a red sharpie and crossed off all the area's Maggie and he went searching for the formula.
She was also marking the map in blue where the gov would normally send his men.

Daryl came to the truck and took the map off the hood.

"Perfect! We have the map marked up, let's go."

Jen swung around and Daryl went to his motorcycle," What the hell are you doing?"

"Going with you."
Jen was confused, she thought it was just going to be her.

"He asked to go last minute and we thought it would be great, he's good at scavenging also," said Glenn scratching his head.

"Great now ill have to deal with him." She scolds Glenn and he hugged her.

"You'll be fine and thank you for going. We'll see you in a while and ill make sure Rick is kept in check. Be safe out there."

"Thank you." They let go of the hug and Glenn left past the gate to open the second one.
Jen walked to Daryl and he was on his motorcycle adjusting a few things.

"You and I just keep getting paired up..don't we?" She stood by him crossing her arms observing the motorcycle. It was nice but she didn't want to show Daryl she was impressed by it.

"Yep, I guess something keeps pulling us together." His eyes were squinted from the sun and he grinned putting on fingerless leather gloves.

"Oh, no way are we scavenging on this motorcycle. "

"Why not? It's quick."

"And loud, you'll attract walkers."

"They arent going to know where the noise is coming from."

"What about people? You'll attract them."

"Look are we going to keep arguing or are we going to go and get that lil ass kicker some food." He claimed on the motorcycle and started the engine.

"Asskicker? The baby's name is Judith."

"Naa, I like ass-kicker more."

She rolled her eyes," Okay Daryl, nice nickname for the kid and ill let you bring the motorcycle but you have to listen to me this time. I have the map, I know which roads to avoid and where to look. Got it?"

"Whatever princess." Daryl was being sarcastic and Jen hopped on behind him.

"Hey." Jen hit Daryl with the map

"What?"

"Don't you ever call me princess." Jen hated that, merle called her that and she hated everything about it.

"Yea, yea Hold on tight." Before Jen grabbed on to him he drove off and she nearly almost fell off the bike.

"DARYL!" She grabbed on to his vest quickly and he slowed down laughing.

"Asshole." She whispered and they drove out the first gate with T-dog and Glenn closing it behind them.

3:18pm

The two drove down the road with trees surrounding them.

"Stop at the end of the road soon."

"Why there's nothing here?"

"Just do it."
Daryl slowed down the motorcycle and drove slightly into the woods.

"Alright, why'd we stop."
