"Anyone else need it?" She asked.

"Yeah Thanks" Tyler said taking it from her, wiping his hands and passing it around till it
got back to Amy and she put it away.

"Sooo now what?" Ethan asked sitting down next to Amy.

"Well I would say sundown is in about three hours, so I think it's probably best if some of us scanned the perimeter to make sure the fence is really secure, while the rest of us can get firewood and think up a plan to kill the walkers inside. Sound good?" Amy said to which the boys nodded.

"Good, in case there is a breach it's probably best to have the most manpower in that area. So how about Jack, Dan and Tyler Take that on?" Amy suggested    

"Yeah you got it" Jack stated as Amy continued.

"Phil, you created that whole detailed Entry and exit strategy when we had to raid the inn, so why don't you and Ethan try and figure out the best way to get in there."

"I could give it a shot"

"Great So that leaves Mark and I to go get the wood. Well met back here by sundown. Sound good to everyone?" Amy asked. The boys agreed and then everyone left for their assigned jobs. 
Phil walked over to the inside fence and began to observe the dead inside. Soon Ethan was standing next to him using the fence as support.

"See anything useful?" He asked quietly.

"No not really useful for killing them all, but those old guard towers could be good place to take cover if things go bad." Phil said keeping his eye on the yard. There wasn't much to look at though. It was just a large yard with two guard towers in the corners and a small gate at the end of it leading to the prison.

"That's true but they could be locked so it's probably not best to rely on that." Ethan said looking around trying to notice anything useful but he too only saw the yard.

"I guess there really isn't much to see huh? If we are really going to do this we're probably going to have to do this the old fashion way." Phil said sitting against the fence.

"Yeah I mean the only thing we could do is herd them to one area by banging on the fence but then what." Ethan agreed and then sat down next to him.

"I guess then at least one of us could get to the gate of the prison." Phil said starting to put the pieces together.

"Then they could look around for some weapons. If they find some we do the same
thing to get them back." Ethan said excitedly.

"This could definitely work now the only question is who is the runner."

"I'm sure Amy would do it. That girl is fearless." Ethan suggested.

"No!" Phil said firmly. "not her. I mean yes she is fearless, but that's sometime the problem."

"What do you mean?" Ethan asked

"Amy's fearlessness sometimes makes her reckless. If she goes in there and there are no weapons, she will refuse to come back empty handed. She'll go in further no matter how much we tell her not to and she'll tell us it's fine. Almost like she is trying to prove herself though she already has thousands of times before. It's happened a couple times before and every time she comes out fine because she can obviously handle herself but she doesn't realize how scared that makes Dan and I." Phil explained "So do you think anyone from your group would be willing to do it? Dan or I could try but were both not very fast so you guess would have to distract for longer."

"Any of them would probably do it I think. Jack is probably the fastest but maybe we should wait for the group to decide and If Amy volunteers I'll tell her I think something is wrong with my ankle and I need her to stay back and help me Ok?" Ethan offered.
