Kaylee Miller was just your regular girl, working a regular 9-5 job just to pay her bills. Never did she think that her whole regular life would be thrown upside down when her boss tried to eat her face. See she was just minding her own business chewing loudly on some gum leaning on the counter, bored out of her mind. Jerry had left some time ago for one of his many cigarette breaks, complaining about the damn fever he had. Apparently, some freak bit him on the way here, Kaylee had rolled her eyes thinking that he was just having drunk hallucinations… again. Oh, but how wrong she was.
Kaylee was brought out of her thoughts when Lori had thrown a load of laundry down on the table she's sitting at. She flicked her gaze between the batch of fresh clothes and the woman looking down at her, Lori stared back until Kaylee relented and started folding the clothes. Lori took the seat opposite, the two women sat in silence sorting and folding the groups clothing.
Kaylee was the first to break the silence, keeping her eyes on the work in front of her. "Y'know when the others are back yet?"
"Hopefully soon, the rest are getting angsty."
Kaylee hummed in agreement looking around the so-called camp, she watched as Amy paced around speaking to a rather calm looking Dale. Then moved her gaze to watch Shane as he fiddled with that damn radio again, earlier in the day a voice came over on it. He tried to warn them that Atlanta wasn't safe, Kaylee just hoped the voice on the other side heard too.
Now that she was thinking about it, she was hoping that Glenn was safe she has known him for a few years now. He used to stop by the store she worked at to keep her company knowing Jerry would either be out back having a smoke or in the office eating junk. Then she would accompany him with his nightly pizza deliveries, turning the music up loud, banging her hands against the dashboard as they both belted the lyrics to their favourite classic rock songs.
"Can you hear that?" Kaylee looks up at Lori as she speaks, after a second, she hears the tell-tale sound of a car alarm screaming throughout the trees. Her and Lori both rush to where the rest of the group has gathered listening to the car alarm get louder as it approaches.
Finally, a red sports car comes into view and out climbs a grinning Glenn, Kaylee shakes her head a small smile on her face watching as the group fuss over him listening as Dale and Shane tell him to turn off the alarm while Amy asks about her sister Andrea. Kaylee folds her arms and watches as Glenn tries to calm her down assuring her sister is alright while Shane cuts off the deafening noise.
After the alarm is shut off Shane rounds himself on Glenn, anger written on his face flinging his hand towards the car "Are you crazy, driving this wailing bastard up here? Tryin to draw every walker for miles?"
Dale looks around the vast majority of hills, trees, you name it they are basically in the middle of nowhere "I think we're gonna be okay."
"You call being stupid okay?"
"Well, the alarm was echoing all over these hills. Hard to pinpoint the source. I'm not arguing. I'm just saying. It wouldn't hurt you to think things through a little more carefully next time, would it?" Dale says as he points to Glenn.
Glenn shifts on his feet, clearly feeling uncomfortable with all the scrutiny Kaylee makes her way towards him patting him on the back with a supportive smile, he returns the smile looking back towards Dale "Sorry. Got a cool car.."
Kaylee laughs face palming slightly then she pats the hood of the wailing bastard "You're not wrong there." Her admiration of the car is cut short as the sound of a second vehicle pulling up gains her attention. She leans on the car with her arms crossed, seeing a truck pull in behind the sports car. Watching as Andrea steps out, engulfing her sister in a hug. Kaylee nudges Glenn in the side gaining his attention "Hey, I'm glad you're back safe and sound."
Glenn smiles nudging her back "Yeah me too."
After seeing everyone reunite with their families with looks of joy, Lori pulls Carl away from the group kneeling down in front of him talking quietly, Kaylee watches as Carl's lips tremble. She shakes her head knowing the young boy lost his father before the turn, gunshot wound. She looks towards Glenn who smiles sadly.
Shane speaks up not soon after, "How'd y'all get outta there anyway?"
Glenn leans against the open car door to address Shane, while Kaylee keeps watching Carl her and the young boy have gotten quite close. "New guy... he got us out."
Shane's eyebrows crease together "New guy?"
Morales speaks up from where he's standing with his family all of them wrapped up in a group hug, his gaze towards the truck as he talks "Yeah, crazy vato just got into town. Hey helicopter boy! Come say hello! He's a cop like you."
Kaylee looks over her shoulder as the man makes his way towards the group, his eyes settle on Shane, both of them staring at each other with looks of shock. She raises her eyebrows as Carl run forward shouting "Dad! Dad!" His father walks quickly towards his fast approaching son, with his mother hot on his heels. Kaylee covers her mouth with her hands as the two collide falling to the floor in a tight hug, the two then stand with Carl still in Rick's arms as he makes his way over to Lori who stopped in her tracks. All three are crying happily now they've been reunited with Lori pulling Rick into her arms, cradling his head with a look of shock plastered on her face.
Kaylee turns to look at Glenn who is smiling happily until he turns back to look back at her, she has her own tears glittering her eyes. He laughs softly making his way around the car and pulls her into his chest, she sniffles and and mutters into him "I've always been weak to happy endings!"
He laughs again rubbing her back with his hand "Yeah, I know."
