All five people made their way down the street . He led them towards one of the many houses in Woodbury. He opened the door and walked in.
He yelled out, "Bob it's me."
There was an answering call of 'come in' from a back room. The man seemed to brace himself as he walked towards it. Rick and Glenn followed at a safe distance, while Maggie and Karen were left to guard the door and the street to protect against ambush.
The man they had been following entered the back room and gestured for Rick and Glenn to enter.
In side was a smaller , slim black man who looked at them with shock and something like fear. He was in a uniform much like the man they had been following. Behind him was a Hispanic lady clutching a sleeping baby, she simply looked confused. Against the back wall was a fair skinned woman in a tank top and cargo pants. She was sitting on the floor slouched over holding her side. She seemed to be having trouble breathing. She looked like a cross between pissed and stunned.
She wheezed and slurred her speech, "You have got to be kidding me Conner."
The blond man, now identified as Conner sighed, "We didn't have much choice."
Rick was quick to ask, "Has she been bitten?"
The black man, obviously Bob turned to him,"No she was shot two days ago."He looked quick from Rick to the woman and back. "Look, I'm a medic. All i need are some supplies and I can help her, but it needs to be quick."
The woman layed her head back with a short laugh, "Now you are both nuts."
Conner took a bracing inhale, "Lieutenant... "
She interrupted him but was fading, "Under no circumstances are we... going to go with... anyone. We can... Take care... Of..." She then passed out.
Bob turned to Rick as he went down to hold on to our wound. She still with us but not for long. Now are you going to help us or I might as well put a bullet ion her head right now."
The Hispanic woman seemed to just notice the other womans unconsciousness. She started speaking Spanish in a frantic tone. Conner looked at her then back at Rick and Glenn, "The Lieutenant was the only one who could understand her."
Glenn stepped forward and answered to scared lady with no problem at all. She seemed somewhat satisfied with his answer for the moment.
Rick and Conner both looked at him. Rick cocked his eyebrow at Glenn.
Glenn shrugged, "I learned in high school and used it when I delivered pizzas. I was the only one who could deliver to Hispanic families so I did it all the time."
Conner cocked a little grin,"That was not the language I expected out of that mouth."
Bob stood up, obviously frustrated,"I need an answer. Are you going to help us?"
Rick only took a minute to think, "Yes." He then turned around and yelled at Maggie, "Go get the car and bring it here. We need to get back as soon as we can."
Conner had followed them, "We have two vehicles I'd like to bring with if we can. An SUV and a car."
Rick sighed, "You can bring them but they will be searched back at camp."
Conner nodded, "That seems fair. With Bob helping the lieutenant and Rosalita with the baby I'll need another driver.
"Glenn can drive for you since he's the only one to understand Rosalita anyway."
They got all three cars lined up outside. They loaded the unconscious woman in the SUV along with Bob who was at her side holding her wound. Glenn drove that with Rosalita and the baby in the passenger seat. Conner insisted on driving the car. He stated it was the Lieutenant's car and she was already going to to be pissed at him for this so why not add driving her car too. Rick drove the Cherokee with Maggie and Karen, leading the way. No one in any of the cars said anything on the way back to the prison.
After going through both gates as fast as possible, Rick jumped out of the car and screamed for someone to tell Hershel he had a patient coming. Thinking about how that would sound he added to tell him it wasn't Glenn or Maggie.
Conner and Bob carried the patient carefully behind Rick. The other's followed with Rosalita asking quiet questions of Glenn. Maggie stopped Glenn at the table and asked him to get the woman and baby some food. Glenn nodded with a small smile and led Rosalita to the kitchen. Karen stayed behind to help him. Maggie hurried to help her father. By the time she got there it was obvious she wasn't needed. Bob and Hershel were deep in discussion while preparing the lieutenant. They were talking about collapsed lungs and centesis needles. She went inside and closed the curtain as Rick pulled Conner out.
Rick turned to Conner,"We have a few things to talk about."
Conner nodded and followed Rick outside. Rick sat him down on the benches outside and sat next to him. He waved his hand for Conner to start.
He sighed, "Where do you want me to start?"
"How about how she got shot?"
"Bob, the lieutenant and I have been traveling pretty much since this started. Maybe two weeks ago we came across Rosalita, the baby, her husband, and her brother in law. By the time we got to them Rosalita's husband had been bitten in the shoulder. We waited with them for him to die. When the time came the brother in law put the guy down. After that the guy seemed to lose it completely. And then three days ago he just went nuts and took off. We followed him. We found him day before yesterday and the Lieutenant tried to talk him down, but the guy tried to shoot Rosalita. Lieutenant pushed her out of the way, but got the bullet herself. I shot that bastard and ever since then we've been looking for medical supplies so Bob can fix her. We came across that town this morning and it looked promising, but everything was cleared out."
Rick nodded,"We've been bringing all the supplies here after we brought what was left of the residents here."
Conner smirked, "I guess we both have stories to tell."
There was a sigh from the former sherif, "Ain't that the truth."
Just then there was the sound of the gate opening for someone. Rick looked up to see Daryl carrying in a deer with Carol beside him carrying his crossbow. Rick sighed again. "Ain't that the truth."
