Everyone unloads and gathers around Rick.

"All right, this is the finish line.
When we make it to green, we fall back. The ditches and ridges will keep them on the road. We head home, but Daryl, Harley, Sasha, and Abraham take them the rest of the way, 20 miles more. All right, let's go." Rick says. We get to the convenient store as we surrounded. There were walkers on the inside bang on the glass making as much noise as they could.

"We're gonna take 'em right past here.
All that noise could distract them.
We'll clear it on our way back tonight.
We don't want any surprises tomorrow." Rick tells us. We drive over the the main are and see the pit of walkers. This is crazy.

"I know this sounds insane, but this is an insane world. We have to come for them before they come for us." Rick says over the 3,000 and more walkers moaning.

"It's that simple. This is where it all starts tomorrow. Tobin gets in the truck, opens the exit and we're off. He hops out, catches up with his team at red staying on the west side of the road. Daryl gets on his bike--," Rick says.

"You see that?"

"The truck!" Jay points out. This wasn't suppose to happen now. I run to Daryl's bike and grab a few guns tossing them to everyone.

"It's open! We got to do this now! We're doing this now! Tobin's group, get moving, go!" Rick yells as everyone scatters.

"No, Rick, we're not ready." Tobin says.

"Now or we die." I aim my gun at the truck.

Target.

"Sasha! Abraham!" Rick shouts.

"Damn straight, we'll do it live." Abraham yells as they get in the car.

"You meet Daryl and Harley at red. Let him take them through the gauntlet." Rick says.

"Yeah, we meet at red." Sasha

"Go!" Rick yells.

"Jay!" I call for her as she runs over to me.

"Jay you come with me. I'll keep you safe." Rick tells her. I nod my head at him.

"You be safe." I tell her.

"You and Daryl be safe." She tells me.

"We will." Daryl says as Jay runs over to Michonne.

"Rick, I'll hit the tractor place." Glenn tells him.

"Okay, move out!" Rick runs around as we get ready.

"Rick, this was supposed to be a dry run." Tobin freaks out.

"Daryl, Harley, get ready." Rick tells us.

"They're coming." Daryl response.

"Rick, we haven't even gone through the whole plan."

"You want to go back, go back. We're finishing this. Tobin, you hit it on my signal. They're heading for home. We don't have a choice. Get ready to hit the flares. Now! Tobin, hit the truck!" Rick yells.

"Daryl lets go!" I yell for him as he get on the bike and revs up the engine. I hop on the bike as we ride.

"You all have your assignments. You know where to rendezvous. Daryl and Harley leads them out. Sasha and Abraham join them at the bottom of the hill. Glenn, you hit us when you take care of the walkers at the tractor place. That's the one thing we gotta get ahead of. Everybody keep your heads. Just keep up." Rick says through the talkie.

"You hear that." I hold onto Daryl as the dead follow closely behind.

"Got it." Daryl says back. We kept riding.

"We're at red at the bottom of the hill." Sasha says through the talkie.

"All right, here comes the parade." Daryl tells them.

"Glenn, you there yet?" Rick says through the talkie.

"Almost. We'll have it handled before they get here. And we'll meet you at yellow." Glenn says back.

"Copy that." Rick says.

We kept riding on the street. Daryl wood rev up the engine slow down here and there for some Walkers to get the idea though they would catch up to us. Then he sped up and slowed back down again. I turn around and look at the Walkers. There are several hundreds of them. Maybe even thousands. Could be more than thousand. I look over Daryl's shoulder to look at the gas mileage.

"Gas tank good?" I ask.

"We'll be good for a while." He slows down for the walkers to catch up.

"Here they come." I point at Abraham and Sasha's car. They pull out in front of us and continue driving.

"Sasha and Abraham are with us. We are going past red." I say in the talkie.

"Alright, lets keep it going." Rick tells us.

"Glenn, you have to hurry. The noise could distract the herd right off the road. Talk to me." Rick says on the radio.

"We're here." Glenn says through the talkie. We get to Orange where Rick, Jay, Michonne and Morgan start lighting up flares drawing the walkers toward us. Daryl and Sasha slow down for the Walkers to catch up with us.

"We're doing good." I say.

"For now." Daryl says back. After a while of driving Abraham gets out of the car and runs into the woods.

"The hell is he doing?" Daryl asked.

"Some are getting away." I point over to the woods.

"He's trying to get them back on track. Just keep going."

"Come on! This is my ride, asshole.
Whoo!" Abraham has the time of his life once he gets them back on track he gets back in the car. In the distance I could hear screaming. Somebody and not a walker. I look behind and see a few staggers walking into the woods.

"Tobin, they're breaking off." Rick asked over the talkie.

"What do you want us to do?" Tobin asked.

"Fire your guns and draw them back." Rick response. Gunshots rang out as some of the walkers were getting back on track.

"Keep going." I say out loud. I get off the bike and shoot my gun in the air.

"Harley get back on." Daryl calls over his shoulder. The herd of walkers were getting closer to me but I kept firing.

"It's working. The gunfire is bringing them back on the road." Tobin's voice comes through the talkie.

"You got them, Tobin." Rick says.

"Copy that. What was that screaming?" I stop shooting and climb back on the bike.

"That was Carter. He got bit right in the face. I stopped him." Rick says. Then it was quiet from the talkies.

"Already losing people." I mumble.

"This comes with a price." Daryl says as he revs up the engine.

We continue driving for a few more minutes until a horn sounds out. It was really loud sound like a truck.

"The hell?" Daryl asked.

"A horn." I listen to the general direction. Our plan just went to shit.
