Carol peaked into the hallway and didn't see Daryl. She sighed in relief, it was early so he was probably finishing morning watch. She looked around one more time and snuck in Maggie's cell, Glen was sitting by Maggie which was no surprise, but it was to see that Rick was talking to Maggie too. They all looked up. "Hey Carol." They all said. "Glen and I was just leaving Carol, you and Maggie can talk. Carol shook her head. "No I need you and Glen's help too." They looked concerned. "Anything wrong Carol?" Glen asked. "No she said sighing." You all going to think I'm a total idiot, but I've been keeping track of everybody's birthday. "She got a strange look from Glen and Rick but she could tell Maggie knew where she was going with this. "I know, I know no use for birthdays anymore, but I think there important. I snagged a moving clock calendar from the warden's office and wrote down everybody's birthdays finding them out from different people. But the point is, today's Daryl's birthday."
Maggie laughed. "How the hell did you find out his birthday, there is no way he told you." Carol suddenly slunk down shyly. "Well… I convinced Merle to tell me, before he went back to Woodberry with Andrea to look out for the Governor." Rick laughed everybody knew Andrea and Merle had a new thing going and that and his brother practically kicking his ass out the door, is the only reason he left his brother. "How'd ya swing that Carol?" Carol looked down again. "Well a knife to the back got most of it out of him willingly, and then Andrea sweet talked the rest out of him for me." Glen broke out laughing. "You…Held a knife….. To MERLE"S back?!" She nodded. "Aww he knew I wasn't gonna stab him….as long as he told me everything. Not my fault he was so damn stubborn."
Rick smiled. "What do you need Carol?" She smiled. "Merle told me that Daryl had never had a real birthday, ever. I want to get him a real great gift cause I know he'd hate a wanna pick up his favriot food, and grab him a present he'll like. Plus it's not a nuisance run ,I've got a plan that if it works, will get us A LOT of stuff we need.I need all three of you."Rick or Glen I need one of you with me,Maggie I need you to take watch with Carl and make sure Daryl doesn't take one of your shifts, and I need the last person to keep Daryl so crazy busy he won't go out to the yard or come lookin for me.I know this is a lot to ask, but please?" Maggie smiled. "Sure we'll help Carol, but can I ask why you don't want me to come with?" Carol laughed. "Cause when you tell Daryl it's your damn watch and to get his ass inside he'll do it. He'll complain but he'll do it." Maggie smiled and laughed." ,Rick which one of you wants to keep Daryl busy? Glen opened his mouth but Rick beat him to the punch."Im going with Carol; Sorry Glen good luck." Glen shook his head and half-heartedly glared at Carol. "When he kicks my ass I'm blaming it on you." She laughed as he stumbled out to find Daryl.
Rick smiled. "Let's head out now, Maggie you ready for watch?" She nodded. "Yep. Ya'll go do your thing." Carol got up and her and Rick snuck out of the prison. "Alright Carol what's the plan?" She smiled. "Okay Rick we need to go to that weapon's store with abandoned semi in front of it." He looked at her curiously." Carol we've checked there. It's cleared out." She shook her head trust me. First let me run in and check this store real quick, what I need is right at the front. He pulled over and looked at her seriously. "Be careful Carol. We can't lose you." Then he lightened up a bit. "Plus I'd die too cause the moment Daryl found out he'd shoot me in the head." She laughed and climbed out of the car. Rick waited impatiently as he watched her go. He laughed wondering how the hell Glen was doing.
…Glen's POV….
Damn Rick. He knew how damn hard this was gonna be. "Daryl Rick needs us to scout backup exits just in case we are attacked by the Governor again." Daryl shot him a death glare. "Dammit Glen how is Rick giving so many damn orders when I haven't seen him all fuckin day!?" Glen was glad he'd thought of this he knew Daryl would get sick of teaching him to track when he sucked at it utterly. "He made me a list." Daryl glared again. "Lettme see it." He handed Daryl the rumpled sheet of paper. He was really glad he was so good at faking people's handwriting, even though he'd only seen Rick's like twice.
Daryl glared." I want to stop and ask Carol if she's seen Rick. Glen shook his head. "Sorry her and Michonne went out. Carol's trying to give Michonne shooting lessons. She may be a badass with that sword, but she need more gun time." He had asked Michonne to back up his story and she agreed as a favor to Carol, not really wanting a explanation. She was glad for the excuse to go see Andrea in Woodberry. "Dammit." Daryl said walking off in the direction of the tombs with Glen on his trail. Glen mumbled to himself, "God damn Carol hurry." Then they both slipped into the tombs.
…..Carol POV….
Carol came jogging out to the car and saw the relief spread across Rick's face. "Took ya long enough, he said irritated. She grinned. "Here" She tossed him a Heresy bar. He looked at her questionly. "Payment." She laughed." Grabbed Maggie a pack of skittles and Glen a Snickers bar too. Got Daryl a box of Kit Kats, I think there're his favorite." Rick laughed. "Damn Carol I think you know us better than we know ourselves.
She laughed and they Rick started out towards the weapon store. "I don't know what you think we're gonna find Carol, but I trust you." She smiled and hopped out of the car Rick at her side. She immediately booked it for the semi sitting in back in the corner of the parking lot. "God please." Rick herd her say as she went up to front door of the semi and nearly hollered. "Yell yes!" She jumped out of the with the keys and opened the back.
Rick gasped when he saw the back of the truck. It was plum full of weapons of every kind of weapon. "Carol-How-How the hell did you know?" She smiled. "See the walker over there? He's dressed in a Toby's trucks uniform. I actually worked there for a year. This guy must have got taken down right as he got out of the car and no one thought to look here. Rick just stared at her awestruck. She smiled at him. "Look this guy was making a double run; there's some boxes of food in the very back. Not much, but we might be able to salvage some of it. She smiled and Rick and ran towards the truck. "Let's just hope this baby starts!" She got in and as if trying to make the day perfect, the truck roared to life without stuttering. She looked out the window to Rick. Try and keep up!" Then she took off and started in direction of the prison but let Rick take the lead so Maggie would know it was them.
Maggie's eyes bulged out of her head when she saw the giant semi coming down the road behind Rick, knowing it had to be Carol at the wheel. Who the hell knew Carol knew how to drive a truck? She ran down leaving Carl to cover watch and saw Michonne coming up behind them on foot. She must be just back from Woodberry. Michonne hated cars, they all knew that. "What the hell?" Michonne and Maggie said at the same time, reaching the giant semi. Carol hopped out and laughed. "Maggie where's Glen and Daryl.?" Maggie was slow to respond still staring at the truck. "They are um… woods, just left; they'll be back in a few hours. Glen said he'd fake a injury if he had to delay Daryl." Carol smiled. "Perfect!" Guys help me unload this I want it all in before they get back. Rick looked at her like she was crazy. "Carol we don't even have a place big enough for all this. Her smile grew wider and Rick was starting to wonder where the hell the real Carol was. "Yes we do, follow me." Each of them grabbing a box or two the followed her to a big room, right off the warden's room that they had never seen before. It was empty expect for a few desks a shelves on the wall. It was a perfect armory. Rick smiled at Carol. "You are a blessing from God Carol. She smiled nervously. "I blocked the entry to this hallway off, its safe from walkers." Rick patted her on the back. "Let's get to work before Daryl comes back and shoots all our asses.
…..Daryl's POV….
Daryl was seriously debating shooting Glen. Yeah he loved the damn idiot like a brother, but he'd thought about shooting Merle before too. "Dammit Glen. Leave it to fuckin you to sprain your ankle the first time I take you hunting. We have already been out here 3 damn hours and it's gonna take another hour and a half to lug your Korean ass all the way back to the prison. Glen looked down kind of ashamed leaning against the nearest tree. "Sorry Daryl, I just slipped." Daryl rolled his eyes and cursed under his breath. He was really just pissed he hadn't seen Carol all day and by the time that he got back it be his turn for watch and he didn't know if she'd come up. He spent his watches lately listening for her footsteps on the stairs, waiting for that smile and her voice bringing him up dinner. He shook his head. "Man get your head outta your ass. She's just a fucking woman." He shook the thoughts of Carol away.
