Carl's POV
We've got some pretty decent weapons now, enough to take down walkers. Or people
"What's the cure, Eugene?" Sasha abruptly asked
Eugenes simple response " It's classified"
"We don't know what's going to happen" Michonne objected
"You leave him be" Abraham defended
Maggie butted in "We need to keep working"
"Yeah, but it's time to hear it" Sasha almost interrupted "cause we don't know what's coming next"
"What's next is we get out of this" Tara reassured
"Even if I told you all, even if I provided step by step instructions, complete with illustrations and a well composed FAQ and I went red ring, the cure would still die with me" Eugene explained
"I'm not gonna let that happen" Abraham defending him again like a parent
I don't care about all of this, I just want to get out of here, find my dad and the others
"The best case scenario, we step out into a hailstorm of bullets, fire and walkers. I'm not fleet of foot. I sure as hell can't take a dead one down with sharp buttons and hella confidence.
"Yeah but we can. And we will" Michonne interjected
Sasha stood up, I can see she's getting frustrated "You don't owe us anything. Not yet. But we just want to hear it"
"You don't have too" Rosita defended him again
I've had enough of this conversation now I'm just going to focus on my thing
Tom's POV
"Thanks for the help with the walkers"
Walkers? Interesting thing to call them
"uh, no problem, I heard the shouting. and the crying" I looked over to the child he held in his arms "I knew I had to help"
"I'm glad you did. I'm Tyrese and this is Judith"
"Nice to meet you both. I'm Tom"
Carl's POV
Suddenly the door burst open, rolling to the side
Dad!
"Come on! We fight to the fence!"
Dad fired his gun before running down the steps, we fled the train car, joining the chaos
"You do not leave his side!" I heard Abraham shout
"Go, go, go!"
"Carl!"
I ran to my dad "Let's go!"
This is a war zone!
As we ran, everyone was stabbing, slashing, shooting as we made our escape, I seen Daryl impale a walkers head, then squash another's with metal pole.
We'd almost made it to the fence, a walker grabbed me, I held it, I seen Michonne "here!" She stabbed it through the head.
We made it to the fence "up and over!"
"Let's go! Move!"
Dad covered us, Gareth and some others were on the roof, he shot at them, pushed them back
"Come on!"
Dad and Abraham jumped over the fence, leaving the walkers on the other side. Now we went to get our weapons.
We made it. We all made it, we had our weapons now but no where to sta-
Carol?!!
Tom's POV
"I'm a part of a bigger group, the smoke, the fire, that's them. The people there, people like him" He gestured to the man lying on the floor, out cold "They kill people, Carol, the women I'm with she went to stop them, get our people back. They're likely to let you come with us, but if they don't, I'll convince them"
"Thank you Tyrese but how do you know they're not dead?"
"I know" He picked up a bag with his right hand and held Judith in the other "we should get going"
"Okay....shouldn't we-"
"No! We leave him......let him suffer"
We exited the hut, immediately I could see a group of around a dozen people, 3 of them began running towards us, I hovered my hand over my pistol but they didn't even notice me. Two went to Judith and took her out of Tyrese's arms, a man and a boy around my age, the third,a women, went to tyrese and hugged him tightly.
30 Minutes Later
They'd taken me in, I can imagine they'd still be watching me though. I've spoken to a few of them, they seem like good people.
We've been walking along the tracks for awhile now, this time it was to get away from that place. I seen the boy ahead of me, I haven't learnt his name yet. I slowly jogged up to walk beside him, he was wearing a police hat without the badge, holding his baby sister in his arms. "hey" He tilted his head slightly up to meet my eyes. His eyes were deep blue aqua, "hey" for a moment my brain froze, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"I'm Tom"
Rick's POV
I rubbed some dirt on a bit of cloth and approached the sign.
