Jesus POV

It's early in the morning when I manage to finally sneak out from under Charlie. I go to find a piece of paper and pen on the desk at the front of the store. I find an old receipt and a pen on the floor. I grab them to write her a note telling her where I've gone.

Charlie,
You have a really bad fever now. I've gone out to find you some medicine. I'll be back soon, stay here.
-Jesus

I take the note back to her and stick it in her hand where I know she'll find it. I take one last look at her. Her brown long brown hair almost reaches her wrist when it's not up. She looks so young when she's sleeping. It might be because when she's sleeping she doesn't look like she's moments away from becoming a walker. I turn and walk out of the store. I grab some chains I found yesterday and I wrap the chains through the door bars a few times then pull on the doors with all my weight to see if it would hold. Once I know it's good I slowly back away from the door. I know it's horrible, but at least she'll be safe until I get back. I sprint away from the mall to try and find something as soon as possible.

I remember seeing a truck on a farm a little while back. I could use that to get back faster. I jog to the barn I saw it in before. This is going to be a long run considering I don't even know if I'm going the right way. I sigh and keep running I try to think of good things while I run. I start running faster when I start to see the outline of a barn. Once I get closer I see a car parked there that I didn't see before. I run to the side of the barn and try to see if anyone's there. I see two men standing at the back of the truck. I quietly move a little so I can see the men and truck better. I see one tall burly man with black hair wearing a leather vest with angel wings on the back. I kind of remember Charlie telling me Daryl used to wear something like that all the time. I shake the thought away knowing Daryl's probably dead. I see the other guy is shorter and has grey hair with some black peeking through. The grey-haired one opens the back of the truck while Angel Wing's points his gun at it. They both back up slightly giving me a better look at what's inside. I see a bunch of food hygiene items and medicine. I gasp quietly so they don't hear me.

They decide to leave and come back for the car later. After they get in the truck and start driving I run after it and jump on the back. I climb on top and lay down so they can't see me in the shadow. This is so boring. Finally, they stop at an old abandon gas station. I wait for them to leave until I climb into the driver's seat. I go to turn on the car but there are no keys. Shit. Now I have to get them off of grey haired dude. I run behind the gas station. I run around the gas station and run into the two guys and manage to snatch the keys. I slip them in my pocket before I here guns click. I turn around and put my hands up before taking a couple of steps backward.

I put my hands down and the guy with black hair yells, "Back up now!" Damn, easy tiger. Do not run into this guy. The other one says something too, but I'm more focused on this guy. I put my hands back in the air.

"Woah, easy guys I was just running from the dead," I say and they both seem to calm a little.

"How many?" The black haired guy asks. The grey-haired one backs up to check behind the gas station with his gun still pointed at me.

"Ten maybe more. I'm not risking it once it gets to double digits I start running." I tell them and the one guy nods slightly. The black haired guy still is not having it which is making my part a lot harder.

"Where?" He asks me and I take a breath getting ready to lie my ass if again.

"About a half a mile back. They're headed this way. You probably have... eleven minutes." I tell them. The grey-haired guy looks like he believes me. "Okay." He says and put his gun back in the holster.
