I don't own The Walking Dead. I own OC's.
Sorry if you find any grammar mistakes. I'm still learning English because it's not my first language.
"It's good to hear someone alive. We're trapped on the roof and could use some help."
"Trapped on the roof?" Regi asked.
"Yes." The voice replied.
"How many of you are there?" Regi wanted to know.
"Besides me, there's seven more." The voice replied.
Regi sighed before answering, "Fine. We'll send two of ours to you while the rest will figure out
"Sounds good to me, I'll be waiting in the alley." The voice told them.
"I can go." Rick volunteered.
"Are you sure about this, Rick?" Regi asked.
"Yes." Rick confirmed with a nod.
"Dan. You'll go with him." Regi said.
"Fine..." Dan sighed, "What about you and John?"
"We're gonna find a way how to get you out of this building." Regi explained. Rick and Dan nodded in understanding and were about to get out of the Humvee, but John stopped Dan.
"What is it, John?" Dan asked as John pointed at his M4A1 in response, "What? You want to leave it here?"
"I agree with John." Rick said, "This gun will slow you down."
"What do you want me to do? Go gunless?" Dan asked, confused as Rick pulled out a Baretta out of his bag and handed it to him.
"This will work." Rick said.
"Man, fuck me life, fuck it." Dan muttered to himself before getting out of the Humvee with Rick. The two men proceed to run down the street, shooting every undead down on their way as Regi and John quickly drove off away from this street in order to find a vehicle that would be able to fit every person from the roof in.
In this hurry, they didn't notice that Rick's bag with guns fell out of the Humvee.
Rick and Dan ran towards the alley as fast they could, shooting every undead on their way, completely not seeing the bag. They turn the corner and spot a guy from the radio, almost killing him in the process, "Whoah! Not dead! Not dead!" He shouted. Rick and Dan followed him to the ladder where another man stood. The first thing that came to Dan's mind after seeing him was that he knew from somewhere, but because of what happened in recent months, he couldn't remember who he was.
"C'mon guys!" The guy who stood by the ladder shouted before he started climb up the ladder, the guy from the radio, Rick and Dan followed his example and climbed up the ladder. Once they get up there, they stop to catch a breath.
"Nice moves there." The guy from the radio commented, "The new sheriff and a soldier come riding in to clean up the town?"
"It wasn't our intention." Rick stated.
"Yeah, whatever. You're both still dumbasses." He joked, before introducing himself, "I'm Glenn. My friend here is David."
"I'm Rick." Rick said, shaking Glenn's hand, "This one here is Dan."
"Dan? As in Dan Bardal?" David interrupted them, causing Rick, Glenn and Dan to turn their attention to him.
"Dave?" Dan asked in shock, earning a nod from David, "You're alive."
"As you can see." David grinned, before the two men embraced each other.
"You have no idea how glad I am to see you." Dan smiled.
"The feeling is mutual, bud." David assured him.
"Sorry to interrupt your reunion but we have something to worry about." Rick said, gesturing towards dozens of the undead under them who were trying to climb the ladder.
"Yeah. You're right." Dan agreed with Rick as David nodded in agreement.
"This is great..." David stated, sarcastically, before the group looked up at the rest of the ladder to the roof.
''Bright side. It'll be the fall that kill us. I'm a glass half kind of guy." Glenn said as climbed up the ladder.
"Yeah. It's better than getting eaten by the undead." Dan agreed, before following Glenn.
"The undead?" Glenn asked as the four men reached the roof. Rick and Dan followed him and David, "That's how you call them?"
"And how do you call them?" Dan asked.
"Walkers." David replied.
"You're the one that barricaded the valley?" Rick asked.
"Somebody did, I guess when the city got overrun." David replied.
"Whoever did it was thinking not many walkers would get through." Glenn added, before climbing down a ladder into the building, then everyone ran through an office building and out the back door. They ran down the steps. They stopped when they saw two walkers in the alley. Dan aimed his new Barreta at them and was about to shot them down but three guys with armor bursted through the door with the baseball bats and beat them to death as Glenn and David lead Dan and Rick inside.
When, they were inside a blonde woman pinned Rick to the wall, pointing her gun at him, "You son of a bitches!"
"Miss. You don't want to do this." Dan told her,
"Stay back!" The woman shouted.
"Andrea. Just calm down." The young mexican man said, taking off his armor.
"Back off, Pablo! We're dead because of them!" Andrea said back, before Rick snatched the gun from her.
"Are we finished now?" He asked as Andrea back up a bit and looked at him.
"We're dead, all of us, because of you two." She replied. She looked like she was about to cry.
"I don't understand." Rick stated as Dan nodded in agreement.
"Let me explain." The man named Morales said, before he lead Rick, Dan and the others into the store area, "Look, we came into the city to scavenge for supplies. You know what the key to scavening is? Surviving! You know the key to surviving? Sneaking in and out, tiptoeing. Not shooting down every walker on your way."
''Every walker for miles around hear y'all popping off rounds." Black man added, "Name's T-Dog, by the way."
''You just rang the dinner bell." Andrea stated as they all looked at the main door packed with walkers, trying to brake in.
"Holy shit." Dan said.
"Get the picture now?" Morales asked.
"What are you doing here, anyway?" T-Dog asked.
"We came here to look for survivors." Dan replied, truthfully as Pablo spotted a walkie-talkie tied up to his chest.
"Hey. T-Dog. Can you use it to contact with our people in the camp?" He asked.
"There's more of you?" Rick asked.
"The Refugee Center?" Dan added.
"Yeah. The Refugee Center. They have biscuits waiting in the oven for us." The woman named Jacqui said, sarcastically.
"We can try on the roof." T-Dog stated.
"I wouldn't risk it." Dan said.
"Why?" Andrea asked.
"Dan's friends, Regi and John are looking for a way how to get you out." Rick explained.
"John and Regi are with you?" David asked as Dan nodded in confirmation, "What about Paxton? Is he with you?"
"Was. He died a few days ago." Dan replied.
"Shit..." David said, sadly at the information of what happened to Paxton.
Suddenly, the group heard a gun shot from the roof.
''Don't tell me that's Dixon." Pablo stated.
"I think you already know the answer." Morales replied as the group made their way to the roof to see a man in his late 40's, firing bullets from his rifle at the walkers on the street.
"Hey, Merle! Are you crazy?" Morales asked, running up to him.
"Hey! Be polite to a man with gun!" Merle laughed.
"Pendejo, you're wasting bullets we ain't even got!" Pablo told him.
"And you're bringing more of them!" T-Dog added.
"Hey! Bad enough I got this taco-bender on my shit all day. Now I'm gonna take orders from both of you? I don't think so. That'll be the day." Merle said back.
"That'll be the day? You've got something you want to tell us?" Pablo asked.
"Mendez, T-Dog, just leave it." Morales told them.
"No." T-Dog said.
"No. It ain't worth it." Morales said.
"Now, Merle. Just relax." Glenn added.
"You want to know the day? I'll tell you the day Mr Yo and Mr Hermano. It's the day I take orders from a nigger and a gang member who's father left his mother before he was born." Merle told T-Dog and Pablo.
"What did you just say to me, hijo de puta?" Pablo asked as he sent Merle an angry glare, earning a laugh from the Dixon. T-Dog and Pablo finally had enough of Merle's behaviour. T-Dog tried to punch him but Merle hit him with his rifle. Pablo was going to do the same but was held back by David, who knew that this fight was going to bring them more trouble than they already have, "Let go of me, Dave!"
"Look there. Young Pablo can't fight?" Merle smirked before he was knocked down by Rick, who then handcuffed him to a metal pipe, "Who are you two?"
"Officer friendly and his friend." Rick said back.
"Call me "Friendly Soldier"." Dan added.
"Now listen to me, Merle. Things are different, now. There are no niggers, anymore." Rick began, "No dumbasses, inbred white-trash fools either. Only dark meat and white meat. There's us and the dead. We survive this by pulling together, not apart."
"Screw you." Merle said to Rick.
"I can see you make a habit of missing the point." Dan stated.
"Yeah. Well, screw you too." Merle said to Dan.
''Be polite to a man with a gun. You said it yourself." Rick said, putting the gun to Merle's face.
"You wouldn't. You're a cop." Merle stated.
"All I am anymore is a man who is looking for his wife and son." Rick said as he searched Merle's pocket. He found drugs and tossed them off the roof.
"Hey! What are you doing! That's my stuff!" Merle shouted as everyone walked away from him. Morales went to talk with him as Dan went to talk with David.
"So, mate. How'd you found yourself here?" Dan asked, looking at the streets from the roof.
"When it all started, I, Darrell and Isabella took everything we needed and traveled to Atlanta, because we heard about the army creating a camp for survivors there. We were a part of the army before this, so we decided to give it a shot. On our way there we've met my Mirabelle, my girlfriend, but we didn't even had a chance to talk with soldiers who were assigned to Atlanta because the town was bombed in front of our eyes, then the survivors from the a camp outside Atlanta and been sending people to scavenge from time to time." David told his story.
"Wait? You have a girlfriend?" Dan asked, suprised to hear this.
"Yes. We decided to try. Two weeks ago." David replied.
"What? David Miller finally asked a girl out? And it took only the end of the world for it to happen." Dan laughed. He could hear a few people chuckle from behind them.
"Hilarious, Dan." David said, rolling his eyes, annoyed because of what Dan just said.
It took them a while but Regi and John finally came up with a plan how to get these people from the roof. The two men had spotted roll-up doors, which were a part of the building were Rick and Dan were hiding themselves along with the survivors from the undead. After all, they drove into the streets, looking for a perfect vehicle that could fit eight people inside but that was harder than they excepted. It took them longer than they excepted but after nearly an hour they found a perfectly good truck.
"We have a car but what about the undead in the streets?" John asked Regi in sign language.
"Don't worry, John. I have an idea." Regi said, pointing at the at the sport car, "Come with me?"
"We're gonna have to leave our Humvee." John told Regi, walking towards the car with Regi.
"I know, but we're gonna come back for it, once we'll save survivors from the roof." Regi stated.
"If you say so." John replied as Regi bust out the window of the car. John ran back to the Humvee to get Rick's bag and his M4A1 out in case if Regi wasn't able to come back for the Humvee as Regi get himself into the car and hot wires to get it going. It's alarm is on as Regi got out and looked John who stopped looking for something in the Humvee and looked at Regi, earning a confused look from his friend.
"What is it, John?" Regi asked as John pointed at the place where Rick's bag was supposed to be, "Don't tell me we've lost it..."
"That's exactly what I am saying." John replied.
"Great. This day just got better." Regi said, sarcastically, before pulling his walkie-talkie out, "Dan, Rick. Are you there?"
"Yes, Reg?" Came Dan's voice from the walkie-talkie.
"Listen, we have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Regi asked.
"Give us good, at first." Dan replied.
"We have an idea how to get you out of there." Regi began, "Do they know where the roll-up doors are?"
"Wait. I'll ask them... Do you know where the roll-up doors are?" Dan asked people from the roof.
"Yes. We know." Came Andrea's voice.
''Yes. They know." Dan said to Regi and John.
"Good. Now, let's go to the bad news." Regi stated.
"What happened?" Dan asked.
"Rick. You may kill us for this but your bag is not the Humvee." Regi replied.
"What do you mean, it's not there?" Rick asked, suprised by the news.
"It must've fall out when you and Dan were getting out of the Humvee. It's probably on the street." Regi replied.
"Dammit. Someone's gonna have to come back for it." Rick stated.
"I know that, Rick, but at first. Let's get you out of there. Once you'll reach the alarm. Go to the store and wait for me." Regi said, before glancing at John. The two men nodded before Regi got himself in the truck and drove off towards the roll-up doors as John got himself in the sport car and drove into the streets, causing the walkers to follow him through the city.
"Come on! Let's get out of here!" David shouted the group started to make their way down the stairs.
"Come on, guys! Don't leave me here!" Merle shouted as T-Dog and Dan were the only one's left on the roof beside him.
"T-Dog!" Dan called for T-Dog, causing him to turn his look at the soldier, "Give me the key. I'll free him."
T-Dog hesitantly handed the key to Dan, before running down the stairs, then Dan made his way back to Merle who was formed a huge grin on his face, once he saw that Dan was going to free him. Dan kneeled down next to Merle before uncuffing him from the pipe.
"Don't make us regret this." He said to Merle as they both rised up from the ground.
"Don't worry, soldier. I won't." Merle's grin grew wider before the two men ran down the stairs, joining the rest of group in the store.
"The next time you handcuff me, Officer Friendly, or you Friendly Soldier. I'll kick you ass." Merle said to Dan and Rick who rolled their eyes in response, "So, what now?"
"We'll wait for Regi." Rick replied as Pablo approached Andrea who was staring at the necklace.
"Andrea. What are you doing? You've been staring at this necklace since we ran down here." He stated, approaching Andrea.
"It's not for me. It's for Amy. Her birthday is in a few days." Andrea explained.
"Why didn't you tell me? I'd find something for her." Pablo joked, earning a small laugh from Andrea.
"Do you think she'll like it?" Andrea asked.
"I'm sure she'll like it." Pablo smiled.
"Fine. I'll trust you on this." Andrea smiled back took the necklace and put it in her pocket, "I'll tell her that it's a gift from both of us."
"Okay, guys! I'm here!" Came Regi's voice from Dan's walkie-talkie. The group make their way to the roll-up doors, which are opened by Morales and Rick a few moments after they arrive to see the truck with it's back open.
"C'mon, guys!" Regi shouted from the driver seat, "We don't have all day!"
The group did as it was told to. Everyone made it inside, with Morales in the front seat, next to Regi and everyone else in the back, before Regi drove off towards the place where he and John left their Humvee.
"Hey, Reg. Look who I have found." Dan said as Regi turned back to the group to see David.
"Dave?" Regi asked, suprised.
"It's good to see you too, buddy." David smiled, earning a smile from Regi.
"Hey, Friendly Soldier. Do you think it was a good idea?" Morales whispered to Dan, gesturing towards Merle who sat in the corner.
"I don't know. He may be an asshole but leaving him to die on that roof would make us worse than him." Dan explained as Morales nodded in understanding.
"Just asking. No none would miss him. Except maybe Daryl." Morales stated, earning confused looks from Rick, Regi and Dan.
"Daryl?" Regi asked.
"His brother." Morales replied as the truck stopped.
"Why are we stopping?" Andrea asked, to which most of the people in the truck nodded.
Regi looked at Rick as he said, "We left our Humvee here. Rick. Can you take the wheel?"
"Sure." Rick said with a nod, moving towards the wheel as Regi got out of the truck before making his way into the Humvee and soon enough, both truck and Humvee were driving towards the camp. Truck was in the front as the Humvee was behind, following it.
"Reg. Where's John?" Dan asked as John drove past the truck, alarm could be hear throughout the whole highway.
"I think you already know the answer." Jacqui said to Dan.
"I hope that the gas will not run out once we'll reach the camp. I'd like to drive John's car." Glenn stated, causing everyone to look at him, "What?"
"So..." T-Dog tried to start a conversation as Glenn rubbed his head in embarrassment, "Dave. How did you met Dan, John and Regi?"
John was the first one to arrive at the camp. He parked the sport car he had stolen with Regi just outside the camp, causing people from it to gather around it because of the noise it was making. He quickly got out of the car and went to the front of it, in order to turn the alarm off.
"Turn that thing off!" Someone from the camp told him as John rolled his eyes. That guy could notice that he was already doing it?"
"Who are you?' The man with a shotgun demanded to know as John turned the alarm off, then he looked towards the group, revealing his face to them.
"John?" Darrell Hester asked, stepping forward from the group with his wife Isabella by his side.
"You know him?" The man with a shotgun asked.
"Yes, Shane. We do. I and David met him in the army." Darrell smiled at John.
"Darrell, Isabella, tell them that their people from Atlanta are alive and are on the way here." John said in sign language as Darrell and Isabella nodded.
"He told us that our people are safe and are on our way here." Isabella translated what John said, before the truck and the Humvee stopped next to John's new car and people started coming out of the vehicles.
"Amy." Andrea said as she ran up to her sister and hugged her.
"Andrea." Amy said as she hugged her sister back. Tears slowly started to stream down their cheeks as Pablo walked up to Dale and shook his hand.
"It's good to see you, Pablito." He smiled at him. He, Amy and Andrea met Pablo on their way to Atlanta. At first they were skeptical about taking him in, because he was a gang member before all this but as the time passed he has proven himself to be trustworthy and formed a bond with them.
"It's good to see you too, old man." Pablo smiled back at Dale as Morales ran up to his family and hugged them and David walked up to Darrell and Isabella and embraced them both, tightly.
"I'm happy to see you, little bro." Darrell said. He thought of David as a brother, even though they were not brothers by blood,
"We were worried about you." Isabella added.
"You didn't had to." David smiled at them,
"Hey." David's girlfriend, Mirabelle greeted her boyfriend before they hugged each other.
"Hey." David said back to her.
"How'd y'all get out of there anyway?" Shane wanted to know.
"John and his friends got us out." Morales replied as Rick, Regi and Dan stepped forward, "Regi and Dan are soldiers like Darrell, David and John, and Rick is a cop like you."
Shane looked at the people who helped his people get out of Atlanta and his expression turned into shock because he saw his best friend among these men. He took a few steps back as he could believe his eyes, then he glanced over at Lori and Carl, Rick's family who looked over at Rick. They, just like him couldn't believe their eyes at who just arrived in their camp.
"Oh my god." Rick said as he started to walk towards them.
"Dad! Dad!" Carl shouted as rushed forward to Rick, followed by his mom. The family embraced each other tightly as most of the camp stared at them, suprised by what was just happening as Regi and Dan looked at each other and smiled. They were happy that they reunited with their friends from before the turn and that Rick found his family, but they were not planning to stay in his camp for long.
After all, someone had to go back to Atlanta for Rick's bag...
Hope it wasn't that bad. See you in another chapter.
