Love In Hell (D.D.)

1.19 We Are Infected

Next day.

We were all standing around Dale's grave.

Dad "Dale..Dale can get under your skin.Sure got under mine, because ehe wasn't afraid to say exactly what he thought, how he felt. That kind of honestly is rare and brave. Whenever i had to make a decision, i looked at Dale, he looked back at me with that look he had. we've all seen it one time or another. i couldn't always read him but he could read us. He saw people for who they were. He knew things about us...the truth... how we really are. In the end he was talking about losing out humanity. He said this group is broken. The best way to honor him is to unbreak it. Set aside our differences... all together. stop feeling sorry for ourself.... take control of our lifes...our safety... our future. We're not broken. We're gonna proof him wrong. From now on, we are gonna do it his way. That is how we honor Dale."
---------.

We were all standing by the cars.

Dad to Hershel "it will be tight. 14 people in one house."

Hershel shook his head "don't worry abut it."

Andrea "with 50 heads of cattle on the property, we might as well be ringing the damn dinner bell. "

Hershel nodded "she's right. We should've moved you in a while ago. "

Dad nodded "Alright, let's move the cars and the bike near each of the doors, in direction of the road. ..."

I looked around.

Dad "Kendall, did you hear anything i said?"

I shook my head.

Dad "i need you and Daryl on double duty"

I nodded "alright"

Daryl got on his bike and the others in the cars and did what dad told them.

------

Dad had called me to the porch.

He and Daryl were standing there.

Dad "Take him out to Senoia....one hour there...one hour back. Take him and leave him. You may lose the light but you will be halfway home by midnight. "

I nodded "sounds good"

Dad "Carol has put together some supplies for him, enough to for a few days."

Then it went silent.

Dad "That thing you did last night... "

Daryl shook his head"there's no reason for you to do all the shit work"

Dad nodded "so you are all good with all this?"

Shane walked to us.

Me "Daryl, you have a second?"

He looked at me and nodded.

We walked away to the truck.

Daryl "need something?"

Me "You told Dale about me"

Daryl nodded "yes"

Me "I told you i didn't want anyone to know"

Daryl "he wanted to safe that kid. Wanted to see if he would still safe him after that story"

I sighed.

Daryl walked past me but i held him back.

Me "Wait"

He stopped. 

I took his gun out and held it out to him.

Daryl raised an eyebrow "Where did you get that one?"

Me "Carl stole it from your bike"
