Carl's POV
"Now, I need you to hear what I'm about to say"
"Okay"
"You are not safe.
No matter how many people are around or how clear the area looks, no matter what anyone says, no matter what you think,
You are not safe.
It only takes one second.
One second and it's over.
Never let your guard down, ever.
I want you to promise me."
"I promise"
"Okay"
"Dad.
You're right. I am strong. We both are.
But we're strong enough that we can still help people.
And we can handle ourselves if things go wrong. And we're strong enough that we don't have to be afraid and we don't have to hide."
My dad nodded in response
"well, he's hiding something"
He's right, there's something Gabriel isn't telling us
"I'll stay safe, dad."
Dad went and got the others; Michonne, Sasha, Bob and Gabriel to go on a run to a food Bank. Daryl and Carol went for water. Glenn, Maggie and Tara went to scavenge weapons from a gun store near by. Abraham, Rosita and Eugene were trying to fix the bus. Now it was just me, Tyrese, Judith and-
Where's tom? I haven't seen him for awhile

"Yeah, I think he's outside"
I walked out the door and looked out into the woodland
"Tom?" Tom!"
"Round here"
I heard him yell from the other side of the church, I walk past the bus
Team Abraham, still looking out for themselves
I see Tom. Staring at the outside of the church
"Hey, what you doing out here?"
"Look at this"
"What?"
"Here" He points to carved writing in a panel
'YOU'LL BURN FOR THIS'
