Daryl was sat in his perch, cleaning his arrows, when he heard muffled voices coming from downstairs of the cellblock. At first, he didn't think anything off it — the cellblock was filled with people — but, they sounded rushed and worried. So he quickly threw his crossbow over his shoulder and left his perch.
As he climbed down the stairs and made his way to the bottom floor of the cell block, he widened his blue eyes; Rick was there. He hadn't seen him for a long while, for what felt like days, and everyone had been worried about him. Now, he was standing here, as if nothing had happened.
There was a stranger sat down next to him; an unfamiliar woman. Two swords — Katanas — were laid down next to her, as blood spilled out off her wounded knee. She held a hand over it, wincing in pain, as Rick stood in front off her trying to reassure her.
"Who the hell is this?" Daryl asked with furrowed brows.
"You wanna tell us your name?" Rick asked, ignoring Daryl.
Rick then signalled for Carl to fetch her bag, as the woman stayed silent.
"We'll keep this safe and sound. The doors are all locked, you'll be safe here. And we can treat that." Rick tried to reassure her, hopinghe would get a name out off her, or information, or anything.
"I didn't ask for your help." She said, her lips pressed into a thin line.
"Doesn't matter." Rick said, standing up. "Can't let you leave."

A short while later, the strange woman still hadn't told them anything, not even her name. But, Rick and Daryl were growing even more suspicious of her — they'd found formula in her duffel bag. Formula. Glenn, Maggie and Ophelia had left earlier to go on a supply run to find formula for the newborn child, but they never came back. It couldn't be a coincidence that this woman showed up with baby formula, knowing exactly where to go.
"We can tend to that wound for you, give you a little food and water, and then send you on your way." Rick said to her. "But, you're gonna have to tell us how you found us and why you were carrying formula."
The woman ran her teeth over her lip in thought for a moment. Could she trust these people?
"The supplies were dropped by a young asian guy with two pretty girls." She said.
Rick and Daryl quickly exchanged a worried look — Ophelia, Maggie and Glenn weren't back yet.
"What happened?" Rick asked in concern. "Were they attacked?"
