She heard someone pull the safety of their gun back, so she spun around, aiming her pistol at the person in front of her.
"drop the weapon" the man ordered.
"you first" Max replied.
"Hey lady, drop the damn gun!" another guy demanded, aiming his gun at Max.
"drop it and no one gets hurt" the first guy urged calmly.
"ha, you don't know how many times i heard that lie" she said.
"I'm not lying" the first one said.
"How do i know that?" she asked.
The second one growled, suddenly shoving the huntress against the side of the RV. "listen, you bitch, we're cops, so i suggest you do what we say" he said, pushing his knee in between her legs, spreading them.
"and i suggest you back up before i gank your ass" she threatened.
"Shane, get off of her" the first guy demanded.
'Shane' ignored him, instead, he brought his knee up slowly, running it up her entrance through her jeans, stopping at her clit.
"The hell's goin' on?" a voice demanded.
Shane ignored the voice, replacing his knee with his hand, "now, listen n' listen good. You disobey us and i'll do worse to you" he threatened, rubing her through her jeans.
"Shane, stop" the first man said, yanking Shane back.
Shane was glaring at Max, who had her arms crossed, unfazed by Shane's actions.
"the hell were y'doin' t'er?" the new, shorter male demanded.
Shane ignored him, walking off.
"What was he doin' t'ya?"
"the son of a bitch was touching me" Max growled.
The man looked at the first, "Wha'? Rick, s'this true?"
'Rick' sighed, "Shane shoved her against the RV n' began touchin' her"
"Tha' sick son of a bitch" he growled, looking in the direction Shane went.
"Daryl, don't" Rick urged.
"What? Y'can't let 'im get away wit' touchin' 'er like that'" 'Daryl' said.
"No, it's okay, this isn't the first time this has happened" Max said.
"It don' matter. No man shoul' touch a woman like tha', not unless she wants it" Daryl said.
It didn't have to be daylight to see how red with anger Daryl was.
Max was honestly touched by the fact that this Daryl guy was trying to protect her.
"Max!" Dean called out, running up to her, Sam following.
"There you are" She sighed in relief.
"What happened?" Sam demanded, suspicious.
She furrowed her brows, "What are you talking about?"
"Something happened to you. I can tell" Sam lowered his voice, "who was it? What did he do?"
"Nothing happened, Sam. Don't worry about me" She told him.
He crossed his arms, "Max, you can't lie to me"
"His friend touched 'er" Daryl said, pointing to Rick.
"Your friend?" Dean asked.
Rick nodded, "he pushed her against the RV n' began touchin' her. I told him to stop, but he wouldn't listen"
"That sonovabitch! I'm gonna rip his friggin' lungs out!" Dean growled, looking around.
"Dean, calm down" Max urged.
"Hell no. I'm not gonna calm down! No one touches my sister and gets away with it!" Dean yelled.
"Listen, 'rippin' people's lungs out' is not the solution to this. I'll go talk to Shane" Rick said, then walked off to search for the other sheriff.
After Rick was out of earshot, Daryl turned to the three before him, "she ain' th'only one Shane has been gettin' frisky wit'. Shane has been all over Rick's wife behin; his back" he said.
"Shane has also been with Andrea" A Korean guy said, coming up beside Daryl.
"So he's a manwhore?" Max guessed.
Daryl cracked a smile, "yeah, seems like it"
"Manwhore is an understatement" The Korean said, rolling his eyes.
"Well, uh, it was nice meeting you guys, but we gotta go" Dean said.
"Ya'll don' have t'leave" Daryl said, his eyes on Max. He couldn't stand the fact that she was being touched before Shane got his nasty hand on her.
"We would stay, but there's something we need to do" Sam said.
"I'm afraid i can't let you do that" Rick said, coming up to them.
"Why not?" Max asked.
"It's dangerous out there, we wouldn't want you three out on your own, 'specially at night" Rick said.
"Don't worry about us. We can handle ourselves" Dean reassured the sheriff.
"Are y'sure? Y'migh' run int'Walkers. Why don't ya'll wait 'til mornin'?" Daryl asked.
"We can't wait until morning. We have something important to do" Max said.
"Besides, we've dealt with things worse than Walkers" Dean added.
"Why are you so against staying here?" The Korean asked.
"Glenn calm down" Rick urged.
"We're not against it, we just wanna find our friend!" Max said.
"know how y'feel. We're tryin' t'fin someone too" Daryl said, sighing heavily.
Max watched him as he sat at the fire, his blue eyes illuminated by the firelight.
"who are you guys looking for?" She asked Rick, keeping her eyes on Daryl.
"Carol's daughter, Sophia. She was chased into the woods by Walkers. We've been tryin' to find her, but no luck yet" Rick said.
The huntress was deep in thought, debating with herself. She wanted to help them look for the little girl, but Max and her brothers needed to find Castiel and Bobby.
"Dean, maybe we can stay. We can help them while we try to get through to Cas" Sam said softly, catching Max's attention.
Dean shrugged, "i guess" he said, then looked at Max, "what do you think?"
"i don't mind" She answered.
Dean nodded, then looked over at Rick, "alright, we'll stay and help you find Sophia"
Rick smiled, "great, i appreciate that"
Max smiled as well, then glanced over at Daryl who was looking at her, relief in his eyes.
"Where are they gonna sleep?" Glenn asked Rick.
Rick was about to answer when Dean cut him off.
"We'll sleep in our car, we've done it millions of times" Dean said, watching as Max made her way to the campfire, sitting near Daryl, but not to close.
"Are you sure? We have extra tents" Rick offered.
"We'll be fine" Dean said.
"Okay, just wanted to make sure you were all comfortable" Rick nodded.
Sam smiled, "thanks"
