Never Let You Go (Carl Grimes Fanfiction)

A Trap

Samantha's Pov.

We exited the building and we stood outside in the air with a slight breeze blowing right through us. Rick glanced around trying to figure out our next plan.
There was a walker or two in sight, but that was all. It seemed pretty calm around, which was good in a way. But it was too calm...
Michonne was mysteriously looking at the floor and I cocked an eyebrow at Carl. He just shrugged his shoulders and cracked a grin, looking at her as if she was crazy.
"Wait, there's spray painted arrows on the floor..." she said loudly which made Ricks ears perk up. Carl and I wandered over to them following where it was leading. Our heads were down and our eyes were glued to the floor, as we followed the arrows.
The paint ended and when we lifted our heads up, our eyes grew wide from what we saw.
There were huge traps, big buckets filled with arrows and sticks pointing out. Walker trap.
There was one every foot apart. In my opinion, this was one of the cleverest trap system I have seen before.
My eyes wandered around the area, and there was spray paint everywhere. It said, 'turn around' and other jazz that seemed as if placed to scare people away. Yeah, right. If you wanted to scare people the least you should do is put walker heads on strings and hanging them.
"What is this place? It's like a ghost town.. But it seems so new and touched, as if someone just cleaned up. Nobody dumb enough would leave this place." I said dumbfounded and everyone nodded they're heads.
Suddenly a walkers moaned was heard from a distant away and Michonne took out her katana, getting ready to slash it. Ricks curiosity got ahold of him, when he told her wait to see what would happen to it as it ran right through the spears. Three went through its stomach and the top one pierced right through his skull.
"That's very inter-" Rick started but then a gunshot was fired at the dead walkers head again.
Our eyes lifted to where the gunshot came from and there was standing a man in a bulletproof vest and helmet, and a rifle in his hand.
"Put your hands up!" the man yelled.
My heart jumped around my stomach and I looked over at Carl, who's hands went flying in the air. I rose my hands up, looking at the man who's rifle was still pointing at us.
"I am going to count down from five, and you better be gone before I reach zero! Y'all understand?!" he shouted which echoed the vacant area.
"Carl..." I squeaked and he nodded his head reassuring me it'll be okay.
"FIVE!"
"Rick..." Michonne whispered.
He gave her his attention and began to speak.
"FOUR!"
"I can get up there for his rifle..." she said and he nodded. She ran as fast as she could which left us three standing with our hands in the air.
"THREE!"
But before anything else, Rick pulled his gun out and shot the man, although he had a bulletproof vest on. He took off to god knows where.
I stood there in shock and Carl had to pull me out of it. He grabbed my arm and hid me behind the barrels that was scattered around. He crouched next to me and I was wide eyed. Where in the world did this man come from, and why was his first intention to shoot us!? Many things were flying around in my head when Carl told me to stay put.
"Don't leave me! He could be anywhere! " I shouted but he kissed me to prevent me to talk anymore.
"I'm just going to my dad. You'll be safe here." he said surely and I hesitantly nodded.
When he left my side, I grew anxious and my legs took over my brain. I ran over to him and that's when I saw Carl's gun pointed out in front of him and the man lying of the floor, out cold.
