We drive down the freeway and see a familiar blue truck up ahead. Daryl picks up the speed and they pull over when they notice who it is behind them, "have you seen Rick, Carl?" Lori asks with pleading eyes and worry in her voice once we're together.
"Not yet" Daryl informs her and her head drops down, "but we'll find em'" he adds on seeing her despair. She nods, wiping away a tear and Daryl leads the way further down the road. A little bit more time passes by when we come across Glenn and Maggie. They jump behind T-dog in the truck after we reunite and we make our way towards the spot where we lost Sophia. We all know if they were to have made it out, they would go there.
As we pull closer I see 3 silhouettes and my heart flutters with relief, "they're here" I tap Daryl on the shoulder, whispering in his ear as we pull over.
Rick and Carl reunite with Lori. Hershel, Beth and Maggie come together as well. Rick shakes Daryl's hand, "where'd you find everyone?" He asks.
"Well, those guys' tail lights zigzagging all over the road..." Daryl hops off the bike, "figured he had to be Asian, driving like that."
I chuckle at the joke and slap him lightly on the arm at the same time, "good one" Glenn murmurs back with a small smile.
"Where's the rest of us?" Carol asks, standing in the road worried.
"We're the only ones who made it so far." Rick informs us all.
"Shane?" Lori asks and Rick shakes his head.
"Andrea?" I ask and another head shake, "she saved me, then I lost her." I tell them, looking down at the ground.
"We saw her go down." T-dog comments and I turn away from the group.
Hershel asks about Patricia. Beth responds, "they got her, too. Took her right in front of me. I was... I was holdin' onto her, daddy. She just..." The young girl pushes herself into her father while she cries, "what about Jimmy? Did you see Jimmy?" She asks pulling away from her dad's arms momentarily.
"He was in the RV. It got overrun." Rick tells her sadly.
"You definitely saw Andrea?" I ask, hoping they were mistaking.
T-dog tells me again, "there were walkers everywhere."
"Did you see her?" Carol pushes.
"I'm gonna go back." Daryl goes to get on his bike.
"Me too!" I go to follow.
Rick stops us, "no"
"We can't just leave her." I protest. She saved me, and I have to at least try to find her.
Hershel comments, "we don't even know if she's there."
"She isn't there." Rick says, "she isn't. She's somewhere else or she's dead. There's no way to find her."
"So we're not even gonna look for her?" Carol asks appalled.
"We gotta keep moving. There have been walkers crawling all over here. I say head east. Stay off the main roads." Rick tells us a plan.
Daryl pulls out his bow, "the bigger the road, the more walkers, mo assholes like this one." He steps closer to it, "I got him." and an arrow pierces it's skull. We all get back into the cars, Daryl & I take the lead on the motorcycle off the littered freeway. We drive for miles before a horn from behind stops us on our journey.
Daryl turns off the engine to the bike and Rick comes over, "you out?" He asks
"Running on fumes." Rick informs.
"We can't stay here." Maggie says.
Glenn adds on, "we can't all fit in one car."
"We'll have to make a run for some gas in the morning." Rick says.
