        RICK CARRIES CARL IN HIS ARMS, ANASTASIA INSTRUCTS HIM TO KEEP PRESSURE on the wound, she had given Carl the clean gauze she had. Shane carries her as Otis told them where to go.

Rick says, "Come on."

Shane says angrily, "Hey, you move, shithead. Come on. Get us there."

Rick asks, "How far? How far?!"

Otis says, "Another half mile that way. Hershel. Talk to Hershel. He'll help your boy and the girl." Otis gasping says, "I'm sorry,"

Shane says, "Let's go. Come on!" He runs with Anastasia in his arms. "Come on Ana, you're strong, you can get through this." Anastasia looks up at him.

Maggie calls out seeing Shane and Rick, "Dad!"

Hershel asks, "Were they bit?"

Rick says, "Shot. By your man."

Patricia asks, "Otis?"

Rick says, "He said find Hershel is that you? Help me. Help my boy, and Anastasia. We have two other doctors with us, back with the cars."

Hershel says, "Get them inside. Patricia, I need my full kit. Maggie, painkillers, coagulates--grab everything. Clean towels,sheets,alcohol. In here. Pillowcase."

"Treat him first, just get me a mirror, I think the bullet is still in tact." Anastasia grits out. She didn't want to be the cause of Carl having more pain, Shane took her into another room, where Patricia attended to her.

"We have two doctors with our group. We need to go get them." Shane told Patricia.

"I am a surgeon and I've been held at gun point before and now I get shot? The irony!" Anastasia laughs but stops as she feels the pain.

THE GROUP IS WALKING WHEN ANDREA ASKS, "YOU STILL WORRYING ABOUT it?"

Lori says, "It was two gunshots."

Daryl says, "We all heard it." Rosa and Lori look uneasy. Daryl adds, "Maybe they took down a walker."

"Rick and Shane have good aim." Ash says.

Lori says, "Please don't patronize me. You know Rick wouldn't risk two gunshots to put down one walker. Or Shane they'd do it quietly."

Carol asks, "Shouldn't they have caught up with us by now?"

Daryl says, "There's nothing we can do about it anyway. Can't run around these woods chasing echoes."

Lori asks, "So what do we do?"

Daryl says, "Same as we've been. Beat the bush for Sophia, work our way back to the highway."

Andrea says, "I'm sure they'll hook up with us back at the RV. I'm sorry for what you're going through. I know how you feel."
