"So, what's the plan?"
The voice of her husband brought Gina's focus away from the piles of papers that have yet to be graded. With the 'terrorist' attack, she has given the kids the rest of the week to stay home giving the Andrews woman time to grade their assignments, which she is just now being able to get to considering everything that has been happening. She needed a break to spend time with her family just as much as her students.
Looking up from her red pen marks, Gina glances towards her husband who still stands in the door way of her make-shift classroom. "What do you mean?"
With a worried glance over his shoulder, James tries to see if anyone could be wandering the hallway. He did not need anyone listening in on the upcoming conversation and risk them running to their now deranged leader. The Andrews family were no longer safe under the rule of the Governor. Quickly walking into the near empty room, James pushes a chair in front of his wife's desk before taking a seat.
"We need to figure out a plan to get out of this place," James stresses out watching how his tense wife continues to mark on a student's paper. "Or at least a plan if something happens to go down again because I heard that the Governor is planning another attack on that other group."
With a heavy sigh and an exaggerated groan at hearing the news, Gina caps her pen before throwing her whole upper body on the paper covered table. "Well, if we need to start sprouting ideas now, I should tell you that there may be a way out through the west side of the wall."
"How could you possibly know that?" James questions his wife while watching her slowly peek her eyes up from her position on the desk. At seeing a sheepish look in her eyes, James starts to feel his chest tighten thinking of the worse possible thing to answer his next question. "What did you do?"
"Um, I may or may not have helped Merle and his brother escape..the night of the attack," Gina mumbles out knowing full well that her husband could hear her in the dead silent classroom.
"You did what now?"
At hearing the aggravation in her husband's tone, Gina grew guarded with her response on not being guilty at helping those people. "What did you expect me to do? Shoot and kill them all myself? Because you know if I would have tried to run and tell the Governor or tried to take them all on they would have killed me and gotten away either way."
"I doubt Merle would let that group kill you considering you're one of the only ones he doesn't treat like shit around here," Jason puts out while nervously tapping his fingers against the wood of her desk causing his wedding ring to make small clinking sounds.
