S1 Ep2: "Guts" Pt.1
Present
"You guys stay here with your Mom's okay? I will be back soon." Sophia tears up "I don't want you to go" She cries, I squat down to meet her eyes and grab her hands squeezing them "I've gone before many times. It's not any different, I should be back tomorrow. Glenn and I are the only ones that know the city and I am not letting him go without me."
I turn my gaze to the side and give him a stern look telling him to not argue with me. "Be safe" Carl says bringing my attention back to the both of them, I nod and smile softly "I always am. I love you munchkins" I pull their small bodies into mine for a hug one last time before I leave. "We love you too Bree" Carl says I rub his back and place a kiss on each of their heads before standing up and walking back over to Glenn.
He raises a brow at me "Are you sure you do-" I hold my hand up and narrow my eyes at him "Do not finish that question. I am coming so suck it up buttercup" He quickly raises his hands in defense "Yes ma'am" I stifle a laugh while rolling my eyes "Let's go" I mutter grabbing his hand and dragging him with me to the van.

"Hey, you. Dumbass. Yeah, you in the tank. Are you cozy in there?" I sigh "Would you stop taunting the poor guy." Glenn looks at me and smiles innocently "But it's fun" I rest my forehead in my hand. "Why am I friends with you?" I mutter not expecting an answer. "Because you love me" He sung while nudging his elbow to my side, I roll my eyes and nudge him back. "Go back to helping tanker."
"Hey, are you alive in there?" Glenn asks once more, both of us saw a man climb in there but we weren't sure if he made it. "Hello? Hello?" A gruff voice frantically asks Glenn and I share impressed looks. "There you are. You had us wondering."
"Where are you? Outside? Can you see me right now?" The man asks through his panting "Yeah, we can see you. You're surrounded by walkers. That's the bad news." I nudge Glenn's side.
"Don't give him false hope" He just shrugs "There's good news?" The man asks you can hear the desperation in his tone. I point to the wallow talkie "See. See what you did" Glenn rolls his eyes playfully "No." He answers the man shortly.
"Listen, whoever you are, I don't mind telling you I'm a little concerned in here." Glenn looks over the side of the roof again and sucks in a sharp breath. "Oh man. You should see it from over here. You'd be having a major freak-out."
"Glenn!" I shout but the man ignores his comment. "Got any advice for me?" Glenn nods even though no one else can see him beside me "Yeah, I'd say make a run for it."
"That's it? Make a run for it?" The man counters confusedly, I raise my brows expecting Glenn to elaborate. "My way's not as dumb as it sounds. You've got eyes on the outside here. There's one geek still up on the tank but the others have climbed down and joined the feeding frenzy where the horse went down. You with me so far?"
