Rose's POV

I look around and see a few people by a pickup, probably talking about getting Sophia. I walk over and hear Rick talking about it being Hershel's property, he put his gun on the truck as I walked over, he didn't hear me I guess, so he jumped when I started talking.

"Yes, I do agree, which is why I'm only asking to have my knife and bow, and I've already got my gun out here, with everything for it, except the holder, personal gift. So here." I say putting my beretta 92FS onto the car next to Rick's gun. "And I'm not going to use the Bow or my knife unless needed." I say. Looking at Rick smiling for a second before I see Andrea's expression, shocked. Shane puts his down after my little explanation.

"Alright, first things first: set camp, look and find Sophia." Rick says to everyone that's around the car. Of course Mr. Buzzkill had to intervene asking about the plan if she is bit. Rick hesitates and says to do what has to be done. Maggie asked about Carol and what we are going to tell her. Andrea speaks up saying that we'd tell the truth. Shane says he'll gather all the weapons and secure them, making sure nobody is carrying them till they're off site to a practice range.

"Hershel, I do request a rifleman on lookout, I'd feel safer with someone making sure we are safe," I say looking at him continuing, "Dale's got experience, and everyone in our camp trusts him with our lives." I say smiling slightly. Hershel looks at me for a few seconds considering it. He nods for a few seconds.

"Thank you Hershel." Rick says. Maggie asks Rick if we have any more medicine or anything like that. Andrea says that we don't. Maggie says that we're running short and that she would go into town.

"Not the place Shane went?" Rick asks worriedly. She says that there's a pharmacy just a mile down the road and that she'd been there before. I look around and see Glenn remembering that he was fond of her.

"See our man there? Baseball cap? That's Glenn, our expert on this kind of stuff. I'd be cautious and ask him along." I say smiling to Maggie. Hershel nods and Maggie goes off to ask him.

I look over seeing Dale asking Maggie something. I jog over hearing about water.
"Hey, Dale, need any help there?" I ask. He just says sure, I smile at Glenn saying hi to T-Dog telling him to go along with Dale till I get there. Seeing as Maggie left I talk to Glenn.
"Hey. So going into town with Maggie, eh?" I ask smiling. He laughs nervously. I laugh at his nervousness about her telling him to take care and to keep an eye on Maggie and to make sure she doesn't get hurt. I jog over to where T-Dog and Dale are. I get there in a few minutes hearing T-Dog say that he isn't weak and not a coward.

"Nobody said you were T." I say smiling at the two. He says talking about what he said on the highway saying he didn't know what it was or where it came from. He said it wasn't him.
"It's okay, I'd rather you guys never told anybody about the stuff I said." T-dog said looking at us both.

"What stuff? I couldn't get a word out of you all day." Dale said, I smiled and laughed.

"Hey, you guys think there's a snowballs chance that we'll actually find that little girl?" T-dog asks. I just look at Dale and then back to the ground. T-dog kept pumping the water out.

"For the first time in my life I'm betting on the snowball." I said walking towards another well slowly. It had a big hole in it where it was supposed to be closed off. T-dog said that we'd do whatever we have to and that he didn't care I'd he has to 'comb the woods like Rambo,' I just ignored it and looked down into the well seeing a walker in there. I looked over to T-dog and he was about to drink water from the well I quickly run over hitting the water from his hand.

"I wouldn't drink that if I were you." I said looking over to the well. Damn walkers.
