     THE GROUP carried bob inside of the church, trying to get him to awaken to explain what had happened. he was the only one who knew about who could have potentially taken daryl and carol. if they had or were still alive.

     "i was in the graveyard. somebody knocked me out. i woke up outside this place." he gasped out, "it looked like a school. it was that guy, gareth and five other ones. they were eating my leg right in front of me.  like it was nothing. all proud like they had it all figured out."

     rosaline's eyes widened, "was daryl there? or carol?"

     "gareth said they drove off." he answered.

     "what do you mean?" the girl raised her brows, everyone starting at each other in surprise.

     rick placed a hand on her back, "it must mean something. he'll be back."

     bob let out a groan, catching their attention again.

     "he's in pain. do we have anything?" maggie questioned, urgently.

     "i think there are pill packets in the first aid kit," rosita informed.

     he stopped them, "save 'em."

    "no." sasha refused.

     "really." he said, sitting up. his hand reached for the top of his shoulder, pulling back his shirt revealing a bite. a walker bite, "it happened at the food bank."

     rosaline dipped her head, watching as the two pulled each other in for a long hard hug. this was like a goodbye. gabriel offered bob to stay on a couch, tyreese took him.

     judtih began to cry from the little basket in the background that carl had placed her in. sighing, the brunette rushed over to the boy taking the toddler away to a quieter place to lull her back to sleep as rick discussed the plans to check for the people that had hurt bob.

     "reality check, it's time we head for dc. right now," abraham announced.

     rosaline snapped her head to him glaring, "daryl is out there. with carol. nobody is going anywhere."

     "she's got a point. our people are out there and they're going to be back." rick agreed, walking up to the ginger man, "we're not going anywhere without them."

      he nodded, "i respect that, but there's a clear threat here to eugene. i need to extract his ass before things get any uglier."

      "hey," rosa stood up flaring, "newsflash, asshole. we're all in danger and things are always ugly. he isn't the only person here- so let's not. my boyfriend is out there too, so is carol."

      the man chuckled, "alright miss, if y'all won't come good luck to you. we'll go our separate ways."

     rick put a hand up to stop rosaline from saying anything further, "you leaving on foot?"
