FYI: ALL CHAPTERS ARE ABOUT 2000-2500 WORDS
"Clear," My words echoed. They opened the front door and threw the dead guy's body out. Then they sprinted over to me. Oscar did trip on the dead dog. He caught himself and we all ran out the door. Michonne limping in the front, guiding the way. Then me, then Daryl, then Rick, and then Oscar.

By nightfall we were right in front of Woodbury. We hid behind a car, the patrols were looking out. Daryl was close to me, I could feel his body heat radiating off his body. We waited there, for a while. My legs started to cramp from the crouching position. I was too scared that I would be loud if I stretched it out, what if my shoe scraped the ground? So I stayed in that position, the cramp slowly getting worse. Hopefully we'd be standing soon. Michonne walked away.
"Hey! Hey!" Rick whispered.
"Damn it," He snarled extremely quietly.
"We need to downsize," Rick stated, I took the bag I had on, off. The quickly stretched my legs before crouching back down. FINALLY, the cramp was gone.
"We aren't gonna be able to check all those buildings, not with all them guards there," I stated, Daryl agreed quietly. A twig snapped behind us, we all spun around, I had my machete out. Michonne put her finger to her lips and we all followed closely behind her, hidden in the trees. Michonne got us in, took us to a building.
"This is where you were held?" I asked.
"Questioned," She corrected, we looked around, but no sign of either of them.
"Anywhere else they could be?" I asked. Daryl looked out the window.
"I thought you said there was a curfew," Daryl growled quietly.
"The streets are packed during the day, those are stragglers," She replied.
"If anyone comes in here, we're sitting ducks, we gotta move," Rick stated.
"They could be in his apartment," She said.
"Yeah? What if they ain't?" Daryl asked.
"Then we look somewhere else," She replied.
"You said you could help us," Rick snarled.
"I'm doing what I can," She growled back.
"Enough, let's go look, we're wasting time," I cut them off. We gathered into a small group without Michonne.
"If things go south, we cut her loose," Rick said.
"You think she's leading us into a trap?" Oscar asked.
"It's the blind leading the blind right now, let's split up," Daryl suggested. The door got knocked on, keys were put into the door and it opened.
Daryl pushed me behind a shelf and then they all hid. The shelf was stocked, so I was hidden.
"I know you're in here, I saw you movin from outside," A male's voice called. Footsteps sounded closer, then I could see the man. Standing, looking around.
"Alright now, you're not supposed to be in here and you know it," The man called," Who's in here?"
The man's eyes were beginning to scan the shelf, he was going to see me, I tried to move backwards slightly, but a can of something fell. The man saw me, he grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled me out.
"Who are you?" He demanded, then Oscar had him in a chokehold, the man let go of me and everyone came out of hiding.
"On your knees, hands behind your back," Rick demanded, Oscar let go. Daryl zip tyed him. Rick held a gun at the man's head.
