"Alright today we're all getting new scratch grids. If she made it as far as the farmhouse Adrianna and Daryl found she might've gone further East then we've been so far." Rick says laying out a map of the area.
"I'd like to help." One of Hershel's people speaks up.
"I know the are pretty well and stuff." He continues.
"Hershel's okay with this?" Rick asks.
"Yeah, yeah he said I should ask you." The boy says.
"All right then. Thanks." Rick says. The more people they had looking for Sophia the better.
"Nothing about what they found screams Sophia to me. Anybody could've been holed up in that farmhouse." Shane blurts out.
"Anybody includes her, right?" Adrianna asks with attitude.
Daryl spoke up from beside her. "Whoever slept in that cupboard was no bigger than yay-high." Motioning to his side.
"It's a good trail." Andrea added.
"Maybe we'll pick up her trail again." Rick says unsure of what do to.
"No maybe about it. We're gonna borrow a horse." Daryl says pointing to Adrianna before pointing to the map. "Head up to this ridge right here, take a birds eye view of the whole grid. If she up there we'll spot her."
T-dog smirks before talking. "Good idea. Maybe you'll see your chupacabra up there too."
"Chupacabra?" Rick asks furrowing his brows.
"You've never heard this?" Dale asks making a giggle come for Adrianna. "First night in camp Daryl tells us that the whole thing reminds him of a time him and Adrianna went squirrel hunting and he saw a chupacabra."
The boy from earlier lets out a laugh.
Daryl's head snaps to him. "What're you braying at, jackass?"
"So you believe in a blood sucking dog?" Rick asks in disbelief.
"Do you believe dead people walking around?" He shoots back as the boy reaches for a gun on the hood.
"Woah woah woah. You ever shot one before?" Rick says taking the gun from his hands.
"No but if I'm going out I want one."
Daryl scoffs. "Yeah and people in hell want slurpees." He says before nudging Adrianna and walking away.

The forest was quiet.
That's what the pair loved most about it.
The horses feet galloping echoed through the trees.
They come around a turn being met with a ledge that goes down to the creek. "Woah." Daryl says slowing the horses movements.
The pair shared a look before looking back down the ravine to look at what they saw.
A doll in the water. Sophia's doll.
Daryl slides off the horse turning to help Adrianna down. He begins to tie the horse to a tree ensuring he doesn't leave. They walk down carefully watching their step. Adrianna picks up the doll and Daryl yells out for Sophia. No answer.
They walk back up to where the horse was stood and they untied him. Hopping back on the horses back they took off again.
The horse began walking twigs snapping under its feet. As the horse takes another step a loud hiss from the grab below us sounded causing the horse to rear.
