Chapter One

Daryl grunted as he pulled the crossbow bolt out of the back of the walker's head on the ground in front of him. He paused for a moment before using a foot to turn it over and looked down to study it's mangled face. Her hair, although dirty and bloody, indicated that she was bleach blonde, a city girl, Daryl thought as his eyes caught a glint of silver. He knelt down next to the walker, placing his crossbow on the ground and reached out to grab the chain around her neck.

"Hey Jackie Chan!" Daryl shouted, looking around to see where Glenn had got to.

"For the last time, Jackie Chan was Chinese, I'm Korean" came Glenn's reply as he gingerly closed the trunk of the minivan he was searching.

Daryl smiled to himself, "Just come here, would you? Got something you might be interested in"

Glenn jogged over to where Daryl was kneeling and looked at the necklace and then at Daryl, puzzled.
"Never had you down for the jewellery type, man" Glenn chuckled, "But uhh, it'd suit you I think".

Daryl flashed Glenn an exasperated look, "I thought you might wanna take it for little bo peep, might make up for the fact that she was pretty pissed at you this morning"

Glenn half smiled and knelt down to get a closer look at the necklace in Daryl's hand "Well I'm touched by the thought man but I have something else in mind, the minivan over there has a stash of chocolate in the trunk, I was thinking I'd give those to her. But you could take it anyway, see if any of the others want it"

Daryl shrugged and reached around the walker's neck to undo the chain, "Might give it to the last samurai, see if she'll crack a smile" he said, picking up his crossbow and shoving the silver chain into his pocket.

Glenn laughed, "Nah, Michonne is definitely not a smiler, you would have to..."
He was cut off by a shuffling sound accompanied by a low moaning coming from behind them, the two men exchanged an almost tired look and turned around to see three walkers making their way towards them.
"Shit I was hoping this was gonna be a simple run" Glenn exclaimed, unsheathing his knife while walking intently towards the largest of the three.

Daryl spat on the ground, loaded up a bolt and shot cleanly into the forehead of another of the walkers, which crumpled to the ground while Glenn deftly stabbed his walker through the eye.

"Are these the only ones?" Daryl asked, loading up another bolt in time to kill the last of the three just before it reached Glenn.

"I think so" Glenn panted, looking around the parking lot just in case.

"You got everything we needed?" Daryl asked, bending down to pull out the bolts from the two walkers.

Glenn put his knife away and pulled off his backpack, "I think so" he said, unzipping the bag to check what he had, "I got plenty of baby formula for Judith, all the canned food they had and a couple bottles of water".
Daryl nodded towards the dusty blue minivan in the corner of the parking lot, "Don't forget your apology" he said "and make it quick, they'll start worrying where we are soon". By 'we', Daryl meant Carol, and he didn't care to imagine her pacing the prison grounds looking out for him. He knew she didn't like him going out but with Rick taking a long stay in crazy town him and Glenn were about the only ones capable of doing a run.

When Glenn was done gathering the chocolate they headed over to the Hyundai. It wasn't a bad car, Daryl thought as he threw his bag on to the backseat and climbed in the passenger side, but he would have much preferred to have taken his motorcycle. Carol had said that him and Glenn should stick together though just incase another herd of walkers came through and Daryl supposed she was right, she always was.

"All right, we all set to go then?" Glenn asked, firing up the car.

"Yup, careful driving though chinaman, don't want you zigzagging all over the road again" Daryl said, smiling at Glenn.

"Hey" Glenn laughed, pulling out of the parking lot on to the road "Ko-re-an. Now I got a serious question to ask you Daryl"

Daryl turned to Glenn, confused, "Fire away" he said, concerned.

"Do you think Jackie Chan is still alive?" Glenn asked, completely seriously, facing the the road ahead.

Daryl laughed, "Hell if there's one son of a bitch that can survive this it's him. I'd like to think he's kicking some Chinese walker ass".

"I hope you're right man" Glenn replied, "I really hope you're right."
