⌜ chapter twenty-two ⌟
MJ and Daryl walk into the house, and everyone looks at them. They look at all of the faces in the room, and MJ sighs. "Rick and Shane ain't back?" Daryl asks as everyone stands up.
"No." Lori shakes her head.
"We heard a shot."
"Damn it." MJ hisses.
"Maybe they found Randall." Lori suggests.
"We found him." Daryl tells them.
"Is he back in the shed?" Maggie asks.
"He was a walker." MJ says.
"Did you find the walker that bit him?" Hershel asks.
"He wasn't bit." Daryl says. "His neck was broke."
"So, he fought back?" Patricia asks.
"The thing is, Shane and Randall's tracks were right on top of each other." He tells them. "And Shane ain't no tracker, so he didn't come up behind him. They were together."
"Dean, let's go." MJ says, and they all look at her. "We're going after Rick and Shane."
They head outside, and the three of them see what's gotta be at least a hundred walkers making their way to the farm. MJ looks up at Dean, and he turns to go tell the others, who soon spill out onto the porch as well.
Hershel tells Patricia to kill the lights.
"I'll get the guns." Andrea says and then walks away from them.
"Maybe they're just passing by, like the herd on the highway." Glenn says. "Should we just go inside?"
"Not unless there's a tunnel downstairs I don't know about." MJ tells him.
"A herd that size would rip the house down." Daryl says.
"Carl and Ellie are gone." Lori says as she comes outside.
"What?" MJ turns to look at her.
"They— They were upstairs. I can't find them anymore."
"How hard is it to watch two kids?" She looks at Matt.
"Maybe they're hiding." Glenn suggests.
"They're supposed to be in her room." Matt says. "She said that she was tired of being babysat. I thought—"
"Find our daughter." MJ cuts him off. "Now."
Matt, Lori, Carol, and Sophia disappear into the house as Andrea hurries back out onto the porch with their duffle bag full of guns.
