You Don't Know Me

Think With Your Head

Carl's POV

"I'm saying, that between me and you, Blake, Keith, Tommy, Amy, Rachel, Michonne, Maggie, Joey, Katie, Ted and Mark, odds are one of us is the killer."

"No."  I blurted out.  "I can't believe that."

"Carl..."

"No!"  I yelled.  "You can't expect me to believe that the killer is someone I've grown to care about.  Someone who I call family."

"I don't like it anymore than you do, but we gotta face facts."  She told me.  "People are dying and they'll probably keep dying if we don't figure out who it is."

"How don't I know it's you?"  I asked.  "You added yourself on the list of suspects didn't you."

"I'm glad you're thinking like that."  She said with a slight smile.

"Like what?"  I asked confused.

"You're starting to think with your head and not with your heart."  She told me.  "And as for me being the killer, I know I'm not, but I guess I'll just have to prove it to you."

"Why are you telling me this?"  I asked.  "You don't know if I'm the killer."

"I don't."  She told me.  "But I know I can't solve this by myself.  And out of everyone, you're the least likely person to do it."

I didn't really have a response to that.  I guess I'm glad she trusts me, but I still can't wrap my head around it.  I've known some of these people for years and just thinking that one of them could go around murdering innocent people.

"And by the way, I think it's best if we don't tell anyone about this."  Zelda told me.

She probably thought I'd go tell Blake or Michonne about this.  Which to be fair, I was kinda planning on it.

"Because hypothetically if you were to go tell Blake or Michonne or someone else about this."  She started.  "And they ended up being the killer..."

"They wouldn't kill us."  I cut off her.  "And they're not the killer."

"Hypothetically."  She reminded me.

"They wouldn't do it hypothetically either."  I told her.

She let out a disappointed sigh.

"Ok, well the more people that know about this the more likely the killer will find out."  She told me.  "And odds are the killer will come after us.  Plus the more people that know about this, the more people we'll be putting in danger too."

She was right.  If I told Blake or Michonne or anyone about this, I'd be putting them in danger.  Then I noticed that she got up and started heading for the door.
