We heard a silenced gunshot and ran to Sasha. Tyreese put his hand around her mouth so she wouldn't scream. We had been looking for Bob.

"Tyreese. He's getting away." Sasha said and we looked at her.

"Who?" Rick asked.

"Somebody was watching us." Sasha said.

"Just like Daryl said, that means this persons been around the whole time." I said.

"If we go in there now, some of us aren't coming back." Tyreese told her and it was probably true. If that person was that smart some of us were screwed.

"Bob is out there somewhere. Scared, alone." Sasha said and I remembered when Bob had walked out of the church.

"Maybe not alone. Daryl and Carol are missing, too." Rick said and it made my heart sink at the thought of it.

"Did anything weird happen with Bob on the run?" I asked and Sasha looked at me.

"A walker pulled him under the water. But he said he was fine." Sasha said and I nodded my head. I didn't want to worry her more than already. Bob would tell her he was fine so she wouldn't worry and then how he was acting when he walked out. I could feel it that Bob didn't just have nothing happen with that walker. 


We walked back into the building with no Daryl, Bob, or Carol. Sasha walked into the building and right to Gabriel.

"Stop. What are you doing?" She asked and Gabriel went back and forth on his feet.

"What are you doing? This is all connected. You show up, we're being watched, and now three of us are gone." Sasha said and there was no stopping her when some of us believed it.

"I...I don't...I don't have anything to do with this. Wait!" Gabriel said as Sasha pulled her knife out. I stepped forward.

"Don't!" Rosita said but Abraham pulled her back.

"Sasha, put it away." Tyreese told her.

"Sash, if they're out there and he knows why--Killing him is going to take away the answers and we'll never find Bob or Daryl." I told her.

"Who's out there?" Sasha asked again.

"I-I don't have anything to do with this." Gabriel said while Sasha was walking him right into the railing.

"Where are our people?" She asked again and I had a feeling this is the last time she was going to ask nicely.

"I don't have anything to--"

"Where are our people?!" She screamed at him.

"Please, I don't have anything to do with this." Gabriel said and Rick pulled Sasha away from him.

"Why'd you bring us here?" Rick asked.

"Please, I--"

"You working with someone?"Rick asked him.

"I'm alone. I'm alone. I was always alone." Gabriel claimed.

"What about the woman at the food bank, Gabriel? What did you do to her? 'You'll burn for this.' That was for you. Why? What are you gonna burn for, Gabriel?" Rick asked and grabbed Gabriel by the collar.

"What? What did you do? What did you do?!" He asked and let go of Gabriel. Then Gabriel started to whimper.

"I lock the doors at night. I always lock the door at night. I always lock the doors at night. I always--They started coming, my congregation. Atlanta was bombed the night before and they were scared. They were-they were looking for a safe place, a place where they felt safe. And it was so early. It was so early. And the doors were still locked. You see...it was my choice. There were so many of them and they were trying to pry the shutters and banging on the siding, screaming at me. And so the dead came for them. Women...children. Entire families calling my name as they were torn apart, begging me for mercy. Begging me for mercy. Damning me to hell. I buried their bones. I buried it all. The lord sent you here to finally punish me.--" Gabriel was sobbing and he finally fell down to the ground.
