Flashback
In the hospital People are yelling. And there is Radio chatter. Shane opens the door to Rick's room and looks out to see a group of men in military gear are running past him and up the hallway. "Hey hey. Whoa whoa whoa whoa." Shane said. Shane tries to get anyone's attention but they keep running past. He grabs a nurse by the arm. "Ma'am. Ma'am, please. Please, can you help me?" Shane asks. "No no!" The nurse said. She breaks free and runs along with the others. Shane looks back the way they came. "Check them all. Check them all." A man said. Shane runs down the hall where the all the people had just run. The sound of a Helicopter passing by is heard.
Just as he grabs a gurney he looks down around the corner and he sees men in full camouflage gear with gas masks shooting doctors and nurses. Their Screams are heard. After they all have been shot one of the soldiers puts a bullet in each person's head. Behind one of the soldiers a double door opens. A walker comes through and grabs him. Startled he starts firing off rounds into the ceiling. More walkers come through and the group of soldiers is overwhelmed. Shane grabs the gurney and runs back to Rick's room. Gunshots are heard. Shane is panting. Shane leaves the gurney outside and goes into the room where Rick lays lifelessly. "Okay. I'm gonna get you out of here, bud." Shane said. Heart monitor beeps. Gunshots are heard again. Shane grunts. Shane tries but can't quite pick Rick up. Helicopter passing. Shane looks at the monitor with Rick's vitals. "Okay. Okay." Shane said.
Shane squats down on the far side of Rick's bed. He looks at the monitor and back at Rick. "What do I do?" Shane asks. The Door to Rick's hospital room opens. Shane ducks down. A soldier in riot gear looks into the room. He doesn't see Shane and he hesitates when he sees Rick lying lifeless in the bed. Behind him comes more of his troop. "Come on, Corporal, move out!" A man said. The soldier backs out the door and follows command. Gunfire is heard again. Shane pounds, grunts. A Helicopter passes. "Listen to me. If you're gonna wake up, I need you to do it now. Okay? Now. Please, man, you just show me a sign, anything. Please Rick." Shane pleaded. An Explosion is heard. The Power is whirring down. "The place is coming down! Fall back! All units fall back." A man said. Gunfire. Shane puts his head to Rick's chest but cannot hear any sounds.
"(crying): I'm...I'm okay." Shane said. Shane goes out the door, his gun out and ready. People are yelling. The soldiers have passed Rick's room and but they are continuing to shoot every one they see. Gunfire. A Woman screams. The Growling of Walkers fill the hospital. Shane looks behind him and sees walkers coming up the hallway toward him. Gunfire ahead of him, walkers behind him, Shane opens the door to Rick's room. Rick is still lying there as if he were dead. Shane points his gun at the walkers but doesn't fire. He covers his mouth with a towel, pulls the door closed and pushes the gurney up against Rick's door. He backs away from the walkers, pointing but not shooting his gun, turns and runs.

Outside
Dakota's POV
The group is just outside the C.D.C. still standing in the light from the open doorway. "Daryl, you cover the back with Little Creek and Dakota." Shane said. "Hello? Hello." Rick said. "Close those doors. Watch for walkers." Dale said.
