Preview of Season 4 Part 2

Episode 5

I know I've said this a bunch of times, but every time our groups leaves, I worry. I also worry about the people who are getting sicker. Hershel, Glenn, and Sasha are still trying to help the patients while I stayed with the healthy people trying to find anything that can treat, or even better, cure zoonotic. I already told Hershel about it and since Daryl and the others haven't come back, he just told me to look for anything that can help with the symptoms. So I started searching for anything that could help and making a list. When Daryl and his group get back, I'll check the medication for anything that can help off the list and anything that wasn't, I would leave a list for anyone else who was going on a run next. But this was too much stress on me, having everyone's fates in my hands, even though I'm not alone.

Finally, Rick came back but Carol wasn't with him. It was odd, but when he said why, I understood. She killed Karen and David. Then Rick went to give food to Carl and the others. I missed him so much.

"Hey, how you holding up?" Rick asked.

I sighed then answered, "Well, I figured out the disease is zoonotic. The symptoms should be easy to treat, but the illness itself is a different story. I've made a list of any medication that can do the job and anything they bring back I'll check off and anything that they didn't get, I'll leave a list for anybody going on another run."

"You've been working hard. And what about you and Carl?" Rick wondered.

"I miss him like crazy. I even told him that I love him and he loves me too. I don't want him to be exposed to this stuff," I replied.

"Well, I just finished giving food to them. He told me to tell you he loves you and hopes he gets out of there soon," Rick informed.

I smiled and replied, "Thanks."

"Sure thing. When Daryl gets here, I'll send him to you with the meds. I'm going to talk to Hershel then help Maggie," he said then left.

When it was night, I heard gunshots. It was in the area where the sicker people were. Then I heard that Carl and Rick went outside to finish putting the wooden posts up, but it came down. I grabbed one of the rifles and went outside to one of the guard towers. When they had to reload, I fired at the horde. They looked up and saw me. I saluted them and we just lit them up. I came back down when it was done. I hugged them both and we stabbed the walkers in the heads. We saw Daryl, Michonne, Tyreese, and Bob come back and they gave me what I needed. I ran to Hershel as I saw what meds were for what symptom. After he told me what happened with Glenn, I gave him the stuff and we treated him. He was stable and Maggie hugged me.

The next morning, we went out with Rick to do some more work. Carl put his hat on my head.

"What's this for?" I asked, chuckling.

"For saving everyone. Like I told you, you're a fighter," Carl answered.

"Like I told you, you are too," I added.

We helped Rick with the farming and headed back in the prison. Things might just turn around for the better.

Episode 6

I wonder what happened with the governor. That son of a bitch isn't dead yet and that could mean he's out there, probably planning an attack on us. We've got enough on our plate already with curing everyone of this disease. I just wanted things to get better and it looks like it will. I stayed in my cell, just lying on bed with nothing to do. I noticed out of the corner of my eye someone leaning against the doorframe.

"Jamie?" Carl asked.

"Hey, Carl. What's up?" I wondered.

"Well, for one thing, the ceiling," he answered.
