This Is Reality

Chapter 6

Completely ignoring what he just said, I kneel down to the dirt and draw a map.

"Usin' that rifle Carl has, I can blow up the propane supply out front which should attract them and the Terminites. From there, we can get in and get your people out if they are still there. We can collect some guns and ammo, maybe some food, water. After that's settled, we move on" When I spoke, I tried my best to hide the hurt in my voice, holding back the tears, remembering that night.

"This is why I asked you what I did" Rick says to me smiling

"That should work, ya know the place right?" Daryl says, changing his tone completely, sorrowful, guilt.

"But how are we going to get in" Michonne asks

"When we get closer I'll explain the details"

With a nod, we start our walk to Terminus again. Michonne in the front with Carl, then Daryl, then Rick and I.

"I told you, Dodger" Rick says glancing at me

"Why because I've been to the hell hole?"

"No, because when you just explained what we were going to do, it seemed like you had already had this planned out. You were so confident in your words. That, is what my people need" Rick tells me

"Rick, I still don't think I can do it..." Me? Lead a whole group, tell them to depend on me?

"Yes you can, you just don't know it yet" Rick's words were so persuasive but I just couldn't bring myself to become people's leader...

"I don't know man..." I say with a soft sigh

"You've won more than just my trust" Rick was talking about Daryl

I look in front of me and see the map, our next stop is Terminus.

"This is our last decent checkpoint before we get there" I say as I stop walking

"You need this now, right?" Carl asks taking the rifle off his shoulder

"We are going to work on all the details now bud" Carl smiles at the nickname I gave to him

"I don't know what each of you are good at. So you need to help here"

Rick nods, "What is your plan"

"Well since I know my way around, I can't shoot the propane tank. Someone has to be behind the fence that's around the perimeter, and be hidden to shoot it. So, who has a good shot? You can't miss the propane tank, but you have to hit a nozzle" I look at all of them hoping for an answer

"I'm a good shot" Carl says

"You are not going out there, I'd rather have you with me" Rick says to him

"It's fine, I'll be his backup" Michonne states

"Is that alright Dodger?" Rick asks

"If you don't want him alone, she can stay. They just both have to work together and be covered in guts so they won't be spotted" I look at them

"We can do that" Carl says

"Alright then Daryl, Rick, and I will go in, also covered in guts, disguised, so they won't kill us on the spot. When Carl blows the tank up, it should attract the things there. I saw a hoard go towards there a few miles back, we should be there just after them"

"I have some blankets we could use, to cover ourselves in" Daryl says

"No need, there's a shack down here aways that has some things. We should find stuff there"

"And then what happens when we get in there? What about weapons?" Rick asks

"Under our cloaks, we will have one weapon. I see you each have some sort of gun to carry in, which should be fine. When we get in there, just follow me" I clarify

"Here, take my pistol" Carl says, pulling a pistol out of its holster

"No, give it to Michonne. I know you have your katana, but just as a backup alright?" They both nod

"But what about you for a weapon?" Carl asks

"I got my crossbow and my knife"

He looks up at me in some disapproval but nods.

"I'll give you your post. When the hoard is near the fence, or if they are on the fence, shoot it okay?"

"Got it" Carl smiles

Okay so late update, time and date. I was on vacation and the wifi was absolutely terrible and I couldn't update :(
