Alex zipped open his tent in his new apocalyptic home it was few miles out of Atlanta the Atlanta sun rose, was so bright it was just enough to sunbathe in he saw the group up and about "morning, Alex". Said Shane he was being sarcastically.

"O it afternoon" said Alex. He slept in no one woke him up it had been a weird few months since the death of the world.

"Where my mum and pa? " said Alex. "By the Quarry pond" said Carl.

"Yes thank you, where Daryl and Merle Dixon?" said Alex.

"Andrea, Glenn, Morales, Jacqui-have got into Atlanta along with Merle". Said Liz.

"Okay then is there anything for me to do? " asked Alex. Itching for a line of work to contribute to the group.

"Um, Dale need a hand with the RV he says the fan-belt been playing up". Said Shane.

Alex took there tools from the toolbox he got screwdriver,bolts. It was a very quiet hour the kids were drawing or playing, Shane was Chopping some wood; when he found out something on his CB radio.

"hello" said Amy

"Is, that a voice? " asked Alex. It was a first time in a long time that he heard a voice on that blasted thing; they attempted to warn people to stay away from, Atlanta but sometimes it was still not enough.

"come on son you know how it use that thing" said Dale.

"This deputy former sheriff Shane Walsh, can you hear me" said Shane. The was pure silence on the wireless.

"Try, boosting up the signal, works, in video-games" said Alex.

"This not Video-game someone going to the toughest place on earth right now" said Shane.

"Only a suggestion" said Alex.

"Quite a lousy one"stated Jim.

There was a cut from the line.

"We should go, pack your stuff we head in five Clair, okay" she nodded in respect in his judgment but will it be a secure one.
