" it you turn lori " Jaqui said lori nodded and took the phone .

" He hung up "

'here hand the phone to me I will call,  hey rick The connects bad  but Ill see you soon "

she gave everybody a final hug as she knew that , it would  be a while before they would  all see each other again . The prison walls came into view and she was back home .

" i did rick but you cant tell anyone that because they will think were crazy "

"and you have  been talking to the dead can you see them now "

"no i cant , not anymore there gone " 

" oh "

rick and tamara spoke almost all day ,for hours on end the death of lori had brought them closer and they were helping each other . Lori's baby was beautiful and  Tamara had taken on the role of the mother just as lori  had wished .  maggie and glen had gone out for a  couple of hours ago to go and find some more supplies for the baby , 

and tamara bite had not  gotten infected at all , she had survived what most hadn't .

"hey daryl "

"how are you feeling "

"just fine " 

"not sick , have you got a fever "

daryl was no constantly scared that maybe the infection would kick and and she would  die . he then left  after checking that she was okay for the fourth time today . before going further into the prison  to find carols dead body to be buried  so the group could have the proper funeral for her  . 

whilst Rick and Tamara sat outside with baby judith , Rick noticed a walker carrying a red shopping basket and realised that walkers can't do that .  He handed the baby to Tamara and slowly but cautiously made his way down the hill . This women had baby formula in the basket , he knew something was wrong .something wrong with Glenn and Maggie.

"your going to have to tell us how you found us " Rick said 

"and why you were carrying the formula " Tamara chimed in . The women  in front of them was visibly hurt so tamra cautiously handed her a cloth to hold pressure on the wound .

'the supplies were dropped by a young asian guy, with a pretty girl "

"what happened "

"were they attacked " Hershel said with a quiver to his voice 

"they were taken " the women replied 

"by who " Tamara said 

"by the same son of a bitch who shot me "

"hey these are are people , you tell me  were they are NOW " he yelled grabbing her wounded  leg

" don't you ever touch me again" the room was unsteady as daryl raised his crossbow and pushed tamara behind him .

"you better start talking , you going to have a much bigger problem then a gunshot wound "Daryl commonad 

"find them yourself "

"shshshs " Tamara said 

" put it down " Rick replied whilst pushing down daryl crossbow " you came here for a reason " rick countined .

"there a town woodbury , about 75 survivors were taken there "

" a whole town "

"it run by this guy that calls himself the governor, pretty boy. charming . jim jones type  "

"he got muscle " daryl asked 

"there military wannabe, they  are armed on every single wall"

" you know a way in "

" the place is secure from walkers ,but we could slip our way through"

"how do you know how to get here "

"they mentioned a prison and what direction it was in, said it was a straight shot "

" this is hershel the father of the girl who was taken ,he will take care of that "

"i will help "Tamara chimed in

"what you name " 

"michonne "

'sorry about rick, but we just lost some of our friends and he lost his wife"

The women nodded ,"all patched up" hershel said .

" Were going to have to lock you in here for the time being, just till we can trust you" Tamara said as she locked the cell and walked towards the small group of men who were talking ." we need to get maggie and glenn " 

"but how "

'i don't know how but i do know that regardless we need to " 

rick and daryl said to each other whilst hershel sat there and nodded and Tamara honeslty didn't know what to say. 

" we leave tonight " rick replied 

" i'm going to stay here hold down the fort and give carol and beth a break from the baby ."

" sure "

The men started to pack up  and assemble  a  small group to go with them . Tamara warmed up a bottle for the now named judith and sat outside watching the group get ready ."hey" Daryl said whilst scratching the back of his head ."hey " tamara said softly whilst rocking the baby back and forth.

"i wanted to talk to you before we left for the run " 

" yea , what about "

"the day you got bitten I was going to answer you question "

" i just thought you didn't want to answer it "

"no i did , i mean i  have an answer and yes i want to be more than friends "

this statement brought a smile to her face  and she reached up and cupped his cheek and brought his face down to hers giving him a peck on the lips . " you better stay alive, now go glen and maggie "
