This takes place during Suicide King and Gertrude is played by Alyssa Milano
"There's a spot over there" Alyssa voiced out. "The house next to it doesn't seem to have looked robbed. The door still seems to be closed. Maybe they will have food in there"
"Maybe it's closed for a reason, Alyssa, it could be overrun"
"We need to stop regardless" Alyssa replied. "We have 15 miles left until it is empty"
"I guess you're right, Alyssa" David sighed.
"I'll get the fuel from as many cars as I can. Have you guys thought about maybe we should switch cars?" Gertrude suggested. "This car seems to waste a lot of gas. I've seen some cars with keys still in the ignition"
"Maybe it's because we're driving in circles. How are we supposed to go to North Dakota when we haven't even driven on the highways yet?" Jayne argued.
"Not now" Gertrude rolled her eyes.
"What are you talking about, Gertrude, our siblings are still missing" Jayne shouted. "I can't believe you guys are seriously not worried about them. They couldn't have died… I won't believe that until I see a body. And we're just wasting time here. Imagine if they did this to us? Wouldn't you be pissed out of your mind?"
"Be quiet, Jayne, there could be zombies nearby" David shushed her.
"Be careful, True, we got to make this quick" Alyssa said as everyone got out of the car.
"You too, Alyssa, how long should we look around?" Gertrude asked.
"I say 15 minutes" David suggested.
"Are you sure, David? We don't know how active this place really is" Alyssa said nervously.
"Just hurry…" Gertrude turned and ran over to the nearest vehicle that she could find. She peeked her head inside of the car and nearly regretted it. She tried her best to keep her bile inside her mouth as she moved over to the engine nozzle. Unfortunately, her luck ran out as she noticed that it was already opened and probably dry inside. "Damn, it"
"What's wrong, Gertrude? No fuel?" David asked. "We don't have that much time"
"David"
"What, True?"
"Shut up!"
"Thanks, True" David glared. "Mom just had to have six daughters, didn't she? And left me all alone to deal with them"
"We hear this all the time, David. Hurry up" Alyssa motioned.
"What do you think I'm doing?"
"Complaining" Jayne spoke up. "Like what you always do"
"I don't always complain. When have I ever?"
Gertrude rolled her eyes as she spit out some oil that went into her mouth. She smiled at as job well done on her part as oil come flooding into the carton she brought. Gertrude took this chance to look around and was slightly relieved to see that there weren't any zombies out. It was sad to realize that the neighborhood they were in was such a nice one, "This is a nice view"
"I probably would've taken a picture of this"
"Dad always loved that. He would always post up the pictures you would print out for him" Alyssa sighed. "We used to always do that"
"I'm going to check around that corner. I won't go too far" Gertrude straightened up. "I'll scream if I need help guys"
"But, Gertrude, we're going to leave in a couple of minutes" Alyssa said with concern in her voice.
"Don't worry. Let her wander off a little bit. It beats standing around you all day" David teased.
"It's no worse than yours…" Jayne remarked.
"Here we go again. Everyone is always ganging up on me"
"We don't gang up on you"
"You're doing it right now" David argued. "This always used to happen when we were little. I always got in trouble for saying anything"
"That's a lie, David…"
"It was not" Gertrude heard Jayne argue. "When have you even been in trouble for any of us?"
"You're the youngest!"
"So what, David, you're the eldest" Alyssa remarked. "You were always such a mama's boy. She would always take your side"
"Alyssa"
Gertrude smiled to herself and said silently, "Now I remember that"
"Hey, Merle, did you hear something?" Daryl turned to his brother. "I thought I heard voices"
"You always heard voices in your head" Merle chuckled to himself.
Daryl was about to argue with his brother when he turned and noticed something moving right in front of them. He turned and noticed that his brother was unaware of the unknown figure coming toward them.
"Merle!" Daryl hissed. "Get your ass down"
"If you insist" Merle dropped down to the ground. "No need to get all panicky and shit. It's only one walker"
Daryl shook his head and looked up over to the walking figure as it slowly came into view. He then noticed that it was a woman with brown hair just walking on the highway. He watched as she took out a nozzle and threw it carelessly on the ground before unwinding a hose. Daryl noticed that even though she seemed petite and naïve, she was definitely checking her surrounding and was always on her guard.
Daryl turned and looked over to his big brother who seemed to have a smile on his face. He knew his brother well enough to know that that smile was anything but charming. Daryl shifted uncomfortably as he prayed for that woman to pass by. Just as she straightened up, twigs snapped loudly in their direction, making her turn around.
"Whoops"
Daryl looked over to his brother and noticed that he had the twig in his hand. He widened his eyes as he realized that he was snaking that woman in for a trap.
"Here she comes" Merle smiled as he got up from his hiding spot and walked right up to her.
