23. Missing

PLEASE READ THE ENDING!! IMPORTANT authors note!

Alex's *POV*

It's been a whole day since Daryl and Carol has been on either a run, or missing from the group. Rick told me not to worry, but I couldn't help worry that something had had happened, or that he just left- but, why would he leave?

"Guys?" I turned around and saw Sasha looking around. "Have you seen Bob?"

"Haven't seen him." Carl said, carrying Judith.

"I'll go check outside, then." Sasha said, making her way out the church and out in the night.

Moments later, we all heard a gunshot and some weird noises. I looked at Rick and picked up my gun, as me and him made our way outside. "Tyreese! C'mon." We ran outside and together, finding Sasha breathing heavily, while Rick pointed his flashlight at the walkers on the ground, and all around us.

"Someone's watching us." Sasha spoke breathlessly.

"We should head back inside." I suggested

"They're not coming back." Tyreese said.

"Bob is out here somewhere. Scared, alone." Sasha said, looking at me, then back towards the darkness.

"Daryl and Carol are missing too, still." Rick told Sasha and Tyreese. I looked at Rick and bit my lip, hoping that whatever happened to Bob, didn't happen to them. We made our way back to the church, shutting the doors, and walking towards the back. I went over to Maggie and stood against the wall with her.

"Stop," Maggie and I looked at Sasha and saw her approaching Father Gabriel. "What're you doing? This is all connected."

"Sasha..." I said, getting up and staring at both of them. I looked at Rick and saw him giving me a signal to stay where I was. He wanted Father Gabriel to be interrogated like Sasha was doing. It was a mistake that we barely did it when we found him.

"You show up, we're being watched, and now three of us are gone." Sasha told Gabriel.

"Three of us?" Maggie asked.

"Yeah. Bob, Carol and Daryl." Sasha said, her voice filled with strength.

"I- I don't- I don't have anything to do with any of this." Gabriel said, looking at all of us, and backing away from Sasha being in his face. I didn't know what to think about Father Gabriel–Daryl said we couldn't trust him, so did Rick. Sasha quickly pulled out her knife, and we all took out ours. Rosita came up running with her gun, until Abraham had stopped her. Michonne stood up to, standing in front of Sasha and Father Gabriel.

"Who's out there?" Sasha said, as I walked over beside Rick.

"Rick, do something." I whispered.

"I don't have anything to do with-"

"Where are our people?" Sasha interrupted him.

"I don't kn-"

"Where are our people?!" Sasha yelled.

"I don't have anything to do with this." Gabriel replied calmly, but nervously. Rick pulled Sasha back softly, and I moved over so that she can be next to her brother.
