"Holy shit." Glenn mutters as he looks at the dead body a few feet away from him.

"Are you alright?" MJ asks as she looks over at him, trying to maintain her own composure in the situation.

"Yeah." He nods after a second.

"Hershel?" Rick looks at him.

He hesitates for a few seconds and then nods. "Let's head back." Hershel says.

Rick then picks up Tony's gun before getting more shells out of his pocket. Glenn walks over and picks up Dave's gun from the floor. As Rick stands up straight, he sees MJ staring down at Tony's body with an unreadable expression on her face, and he walks over to her.

The blonde looks up when he blocks her line of sight, and that's when Glenn and Hershel notice their leaders. Neither of them have ever seen MJ like this before, but she's clearly pretty shaken by what just happened, despite trying not to appear that way. Rick raises his hand, resting it on the side of her face as he brushes her hair back, and she takes a deep breath.

"Are you good?" He asks, and she takes a beat before nodding.

"Let's get back to the others." MJ says, and he nods.

They then see headlights outside and immediately duck. "Car. Car." Rick whispers as they continue toward the front door. "Get down."

They all quickly move to the floor in front of the entrance, and Glenn looks like he's about to freak out. They hear men talking outside, and they say Dave and Tony's names — it's part of their group. The men end up outside the bar, but they don't come in.

MJ hears a woman's voice that she swears sounds familiar, but she can't place it. The other group walks away, and the ones inside the bar stay quiet. Rick, MJ, and Glenn have their guns drawn, but Hershel's unarmed. Some time passes, and then Rick slowly​ stands up and looks outside. He doesn't see anyone, so he crouches down and moves toward the others.

"Why won't they leave?" Glenn whispers.

"Would you?" Hershel asks him.

"We can't stay here any longer." Rick says, and they nod in agreement. "Let's head out the back and make a run to the car."

They all start to stand, but then they hear gunfire outside. The four of them all move back to the ground and press themselves up against the wall. It's the group outside, they killed more walkers that were wandering the street.

One of them then implies that the others are stupid because they didn't check the bar for Dave and Tony. Apparently those two drink — drank — often. The door starts to open, and then Glenn throws himself against it.
