Ok, heres this chapter:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Conner's been gone a long time. I'm starting to get worried."

"Eh, I'm sure he's fine." Carl slouches lower into the coach in my living room.

I frown nervously and pick a hangnail on the side of my nail. I hear Carl sigh to my left. He scoots closer to my side of the coach and rubs my back in a circular motion.

"Look, if it makes you feel any better we can go look for him."

I look up at those dazzling ocean blue eyes of his and nod with a small smile.

"Lets go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We start by asking Enid, but she hasn't seen him for a few hours. Then we ask Ron, again nothing. Carl and I then proceed to ask a few people around the town, but nothing. No one has seen him since the last time we have.

"We've looked everywhere. Where the fuck is he?!?" I lean up against a tree at the park with my arms crossed.

"There's only one more place that he could be." Carl comments. He looks at me with a face that suggestes that I know what he is talking about.

At that moment I knew exactly what he was thinking.

"Shit. We better go." I start running and Carl trails behind me. We open the gate out of Alexandria and quickly turn to the forest before anyone sees us.

"Where should we check first?"

"Um... Not sure. Lets split up. I'll go that way," I point to my left, "and you go that way," I point to my right.

"Are you sure thats a good idea?" Carl asks concerned. I turn to face him.

"I don't know, but Conner has been gone a while and could be in trouble, and this is the quickest way to find him."

"Fine but be safe." He asks with a worried face." I nod in agreement.

"You too."

"Meet me here in ten minuets. If you're not here in exactly 10 minuets, I'll come looking for you."

"Right back at you hat boy." I grasp my imaginary hat with my thumb and pointer finger and tip it down a bit. I flash him a smile and a little wink, and turn around before I see his reaction. I immediately break into a sprit, running deeper and deeper into the woods.

I run quickly on my feet, leaping over fallen trees and large branches, making sharp turns and watching my surroundings like a hawk searching for its pray.

Then, suddenly, I hear a subtle growl that I was afraid that I would hear. I stop in my tracks, slightly loosing my balance from the sudden stop. My eye open five times more than usual, my palms sweat, and my heart rate increases.

"God damn walkers." I whisper under my breath with anger, making my fists tighter every second while clenching my teeth. I take a deep breath, pick up my pace, and dash towards the noise, hoping that the noise was not where Conner was.
