I Am Here (TWD)

Part 3

I push the door open and watch Glenn and the man pile in, I slam the door shut and hear a gun cock.I turn around and see Andrea pointing a gun at the man, here we go again.

"Andrea... Put the gun down." says Glenn.

"We're dead. We're dead because of this asshole." she says keeping her eyes on him and then backs off.

The man takes heavy breaths while looking around the room and he looks at me and my brother. Thats when my memory clicked.

"Adym and Rei, right?" He asked.

"Yeah? I think remember you." I say tapping my chin mentality.

"I'm Rick, Rick Grimes. Your father trained me to be a cop." He says and my heart just stopped, my father trained him years and years ago. I also know him from that time...but I don't want to think about it.

"Oh, Yeah, I was a volunteer at your son's school as well." I say shyly.

"Have you seen them, my family?" He asked eagerly.

I shake my head sympathetically, I hope they are alive and well. Gun shots interrupt us, they sound like they came from above, well we all know who that was, that racist prick.

"What's that?" Asked Rick.

"Merle." Glenn says running up the stairs with all of us behind. We open the door and find Merle shooting biters, attracting more and more with each bullet.

"Merle!" Glenn shouts.

Merle chuckled mercilessly at our expense.

"Merle, are you crazy?!" Asked Morales. Merle turns around and hops off the ledge like he has no cares in the world.

"Y'all should be more polite to a man with a gun." he says.

"Ooh scary." I say sarcastically.

"Just common sense." he laughs again.

"Hey, man you waistin' bullets we ain't even got!" T dog says "Bringing more of them. Just chill."

"Hey, its bad enough I got this beaner ordering me, and you think I'm gonna take any from you? Bro, that'll be the day."

My mouth falls open in disbelief.

"That'll be the day?" Asked T dog. "You got something you wanna tell me"?

"T dog just leave it" says Morales.

"Yeah, he's just another racist asshole" I say.

"Nah." T dog says as they stand off looking eachother in the face.

"Look we already have enough problems" Morales keeps trying to calm the situation but it doesn't seem to be working...like at all.

"You wanna know the day?" Merle asks T dog.

"Yeah" he replied.

"The day, yo, when I take orders from a n****r."

"Mother-" T dog takes a swing but misses and gets hit with the butt of the gun and hits the ground. Oh, shit. I get closer to the situation, even though I probably can't take on a grown man.

Rick tries to step in but gets socked in the jaw and falls over. I grab Merles arm before he punches T dog, he shoves me back and I hit the ground, I wince as my wrist starts throbbing, Merle is now laying shots to T-dogs face.

"Stop it!" I yell. Adym pulls me back so I don't get hurt again.

"Stay put." Adym commands, I can't believe these people. Merle stops hitting and pulls out a hand gun, he puts it right in T's face.

My breathing hitched, "Please, Don't."

"No. No. No. Please, please" Andrea pleads.

Thunder starts to roll above us and I watches as Merle looks at everyone in the group. He looks back down and spits into T-dogs shirt. "Yeah! Alright. We gonna have ourselves a little pow wow."

"Do you even know what pow wow means you imbred hick?" I whisper under my breath.

"Shhh!" My brother puts a hand over my mouth and I licked it, He moves it quickly with disgust written on his face.

"Huh, talk about who's in charge. I vote me. Anyone else? Democracy time y'all. Show of hands"

Morales is the first one to raise his hand. I smack my lips together, yeah we're done for, we are going to die.

"Oh, come on" says Andrea.

Everyone else raises their hands, ok now we're done for.

"Yeah, that means I'm the boss right? Anyone else" Merle says confidently.

"Yeah." says Rick stands up and hits him in the face with the butt of the gun.

"Ooh!" Adym and I say in unison, and just like that, I'm full of Glee again.

Merle now on the ground is stunned as he wipes his bloody nose. Rick places his knee on Merles chest to subdue him and handcuffed him to a pole, I don't object, he earned his place there.
