'Unlikely Heroes' :The Walking Dead - Daryl Dixon

CH10 Ready,set, FIGHT!

(Nico's bat)

T -Dog left his bag that had Dale's tools  and instead took Nico and her supplies , he wasn't going to leave this girl  on her own. Merle's roars were still heared, echoing and piecing his hears . The unconscious girls was still in his arms. The man couldn't believe he had to do this  but he had no real choise.  Before he ran of he manged to chain up the doors so that the walkers couldnt get to Merle or at least as easily.

The rest  of the group never realised the events untill they were in the truck . "Wait.. why is this girl knockout . Where is Merle and Glen?" Asked Andrea  and looked around .  Rick turned his head back to see the young woman knocked out , bleeding slightly  at the top of her head. T-Dog was almost at the point of panicked tears .

 "I ..I dropped the key. She wouldn't leave without him . She retaliated and started comming at me so I picked the heaviest thing and smashed it on her head . I'm sorry! She wouldn't go do so i had to hit her again." he said , breathing hard. Heads dropped. Rick  grinned his teeth . " Make sure she doesn't bleed.

They spend their time in silence , untill the man siting in the passenger seat with Rick spoke up . "Better... not dwell on it , Merel  being left behind... noone  is going to be sad about him not coming back!"he said . "Exept maybe Daryl.." 

"Daryl?"

"His brother.."

 Andrea huffed, they turned to her "Don't forget this one , ones this little phyco wakes up someones's go'ona loose an eye". T-Dog looked away: looks like he is goona get his ass kicked by 2 crooks tonight . This did not help Ricks guilt. In  some time they made their way back into the  base camp. There was so much excitement and reunitment  but  there was one person who Doc was looking for and she wasn't there.

Docs  stood by Dale,  he watched him greet Glen and cringed at the sound of the siren. Dales eyes droped when he saw the expression of Docs face: that was utter despair . "W-where is Nico , where my girl!" he said , fighting back the tears and a yell. Everyone stood back for  a moment . T-Dog came carying her in his arms , her backs still attached to her . Dales attention turned back to the car , he rubbed his face " Jessus what happened! " he said , rushing to end the alarm.  Doc made his way to Nico , picking her up from the mans arms . He knew this was an inflicted injury . He had never seen Nico slip up ones since she aced all her training .

"What happened ? To her? .. Where is Merle!"  screeched Lori , Rick looked at her and Carl. Hugging them tightly.   

"We had to leave him behind ... but she  refused to  . I dropped the key to the handcuffs "said T Dog shaking his head .  "handcuffs ? you handcuffed a man to something? What ta hell is wrong with you!" the older gentel man shouted at T-Dog "Ths ain't no time to be trying out bondage!" he mocked him.

 "It was me , I did it for safety!" said Rick , the camp stood still. Shen smirked slightly , looks like those two got what they deserved but this was only a moment of happiness in his growing trouble: Rick was back and he was in trouble with Lori and Carl.

"I waked her on the head, she didn't go down , i waked her again and carried her .....Ain't no way she was moving a muscle!" he said . Glen rushed to Nico , he felt her forhead and brushed some hair out of her face. That look of despair was still in her face , even if it was  sleeping . Her breathing flared, her heart was still racing , her body sometimes twitching.

"She had it coming!" said Andrea. Dales, turned to her . "For WHAT? Defending a man !" he said , shaking his head . "No matter who that man was , my girl here tried to save a life of a man!", growled Doc. He couldn't help but see the same mistakes that Nico had done in the pass- jumping to take responsibility  but he would have done the same thing. The two of them may have been crooks but at least they were honest ones.
