"Hey, you alive in there?" The voice of a man continued coming from the police scanner as (Y/n) quickly crawled to it, quickly picking it up.
"H-Hello?" (Y/n) stuttered, feeling Rick's presence next to her to keep up with her, hoping that this guy that's talking to them will end up helping them.
"Good thing that you're alive. I thought you might've died." The guy's voice held relief, as Rick took the communication tool from (Y/n), deciding to ask him some questions.
"Do you see us?" Rick asked, looking into (Y/n)'s eyes, being grateful that she's still alive and that there might actually be a chance to survive this.
"Yes I can, you two are surrounded by walkers, that's the bad news. Sadly there isn't any good news." The guys continued speaking as (Y/n) gently took the tool from Rick, "Thank you for reaching out to us, but got any advice for us?"
(Y/n) was a little less intimidating, so she knew that people got along with her better than they did with Rick, "Yes, make a run for it." The guy said it in a way that made it sound like it was easy.
"You have that chance now, the walkers are feasting on the horse right now, so just make a run for it. Though, you have to have some sort of weapon to defend yourself." As soon as he said that, (Y/n) groaned in defeat as Rick went to search the tank.
"(Y/n).. look." He showed her a grenade, making her smile a little. "We do have some weapons, so, where do we run to exactly?" She asked the anonymous guy, hoping that he had some sort of plan for them to escape the herd.
"Around 50 yards, you'll see an alleyway. Just make a run for it. Stay safe, I'll be waiting there for you." The guy spoke as (Y/n) gently placed down the scanner down, smiling at Rick.
He crawled over to (Y/n), placing his hands on each side of her face and bringing her head towards his. Rick gently placed his forehead against her, mumbling to her, "WE'RE going to make it out alive TOGETHER. You're not throwing yourself as bait, you're not staying back. You're coming with me." He looked right into her eyes.
(Y/n) gently placed her hands on top of Rick's, smiling a little, "I won't use myself as bait... I promise unless I have to." She gently rubbed her nose against his before getting up, staring at the upper exit.
"Okay... I'm ready." (Y/n) spoke with confidence as Rick stood next to her, staring into her eyes with worry. "So am I..." He actually wasn't, he was afraid of losing her during the run.
Rick took a deep breath before opening the exit, quickly getting up and shooting the walker that was coming towards him. As soon as that walker was dead, he carried (Y/n) up, as both quickly shot the walker behind the other.
"Good aim." (Y/n) complimented with a wink before holding his hand and running to where the guy told them he would be. Both were shooting every walker in front of them, not wanting any difficulties in their way.
As soon as they reach the alleyways, they met with an Asian guy. (Y/n) and him held eye contact for a few seconds before she placed her gun in her pocket and grabbed the Asian guy's hand, running to the ladder since they were also trapped from the other side of the alleyway.
"You two, go!!!" (Y/n) insisted as there was not much time until the walkers arrive. Rick didn't want to argue since he knew they'll end up dying from (Y/n)'s stubbornness. He let the Asian go up first, and soon he was after. Finally, (Y/n) climbed up as her ankle was grabbed by a walker.
She shrieked, trying to kick his hand off her as Rick immediately stopped climbing and shot the walker's arm off. He wanted to make sure that she's alright but now isn't the perfect timing.
