"What the Fuck!" Daryl mumbled, and walked the perimeters of the tent he shared with his brother, his eyes looking for the yellow checked shirt he had left carelessly outside in the dirt yesterday night. Merle and him had settled with a useless group of walker bait two days ago and some of his things were already missing.
Daryl was still chewing on his thumbnail as this mousy woman with the very short hair and the ugly two-for-one catalogue pants walked toward him with a big basket under her arm. With lowered eyes she handed him his freshly washed and clean smelling, perfectly folded shirt.
Daryl was so thrown off guard by this gesture that he choked on all the curses he had spilling from his lips.
