Shane looked out of his window as soon as he put the vehicle in park. The sun was beating down viciously and the blond woman beside him used the back of her hand to wipe away unwanted sweat beads from her forehead. They both looked out of their windows to see exactly where they were. Tall walls before them, and they were curious as hell.

"Lets get out, take a look around," Shane informed Andrea whilst jumping out of the car and began to search the surroundings a little closer, with a shotgun in hand.

Andrea left the vehicle a few minutes after Shane and closed the door carefully. The man continued to look around as if this place was something he's never seen before and suddenly, a sound from behind them crept up and they turned around to find another vehicle driving up the theirs. Shane's ears perked up and his full attention was set on the large truck pulling up. Andrea stood beside him and rested her hands on both of her hips, squinting through the beaming sunlight.

When the unfamiliar vehicle stopped, the unknown driver stepped out and shut his door. A second man later exited and that face was suddenly scarcely familiar. Shane swallowed thickly and furrowed his brows. Andrea looked over at him and then returned her gaze at the men before them.

"Are you folks lost?" the strange man asked, being smart to keep his distance, but a faint smile was recognized across his lips. Andrea heard a low growl pass Shane's lips and she smiled back at the man. "Yeah, we've been on the road for days, do you know what this place is?"she asked and brushed back long strands of hair out of her face. The man nodded his head before coming closer with the opposite man close behind. Shane jumped and raised his weapon. Andrea herself was totally surprised at this. She knew he was hungry, and thirsty but hell, he didn't need to point that fucking shotgun at that man's face, especially with that Dixon around.

Merle instantly stepped up before the strange man and got in Shane's face. "You better put down the gun and let the man talk," his southern voice was raw, real and pretty serious. Shane knew exactly who Merle was, he was that fucking prick Rick was willing to risk his life for.

Shane began to lower his weapon, and soon, the two of them were glaring daggers at each other, mentally killing the hell out of each other all the same. The taller man dressed up casually, nice kempt hair, friendly smile and charming aura stepped up again and put a hand on Merle's shoulder. "This place is Woodbury, its my santuary, as I like to call it," the charming fellow finally answered Andrea's question and she stared at him like he was some kind of hero.

"There any walkers behind those walls?" Shane opened up and stared at the older man with much weariness. He could see in Shane's eyes that he was beat and needed a good night sleep. "Not a one, you two will be safe here, I'll show you around if you'd like?" the man added and Andrea gave Shane a nudge. Shane was tired as hell and anything besides the car would do, he needed at least a spring mattress to sleep on. He finally nodded his head and the stranger led the two of them inside.

Merle opened and he closed the doors. After entering what he called 'Woodbury' Shane nor Andrea could believe their eyes. Survivors, a lot of survivors, so many of them and it made the both of them speechless. Hell, this was no sancuary, this was like home.

"We have plenty of food, water and definitely a room to stay in for the night, but before I show you around, I would love to know your names?" the handsome older fellow turned around and found both Andrea and Shane staring right at him. Shane gave him his name, and then Andrea. The curious man smiled and finally gave them his name, or what he was known as around here.

"Governor, I am the governor of this town, I make sure everyone has what they need, and I would love to get to know you two," he gave Shane his hand and the two stared heavily at each other before releasing hands. Shane just had to make everything uneasy. He then took Andrea's and recognized the softness of her palm. He smiled at her and she gave one in return. "Let's continue, shall we?" he gave them a smile, but it was mainly meant for the lovely Andrea beside Mr. Walsh, who indeed noticed a sparkle in that man's eye.
