this chapter has been updated due to spelling reasons(squirrel again)
They followed Daryl back to camp. "Merle!" He called. "Merle, get your ugly ass out here!" Clint wondered how he was going to react. So far, Daryl seemed like the kind of guy who would shoot a guy in the mouth for talking back. "Got us some squirrel!" Clint wasn't really looking forward to squirrel for dinner.
"Daryl." Shane said. "Slow up a bit, I need to talk to you."
"Abou' what?" Daryl asked,
"About Merle. There's a-uh, there's a problem in Atlanta." He said. Daryl seemed to know something bad had happened.
"He dead?" Wow. He automatically assumes that?
"Not sure." Shane answered,
"Either he is or he ain't!" Daryl said,
"There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just say it." Rick walked up to Daryl.
"Who're you?" Daryl asked,
"Rick Grimmes."
"Rick Grimmes." Daryl repeated. "You got something you wanna tell me?"
"Your brother was a danger to us all, so I hancuffed him to a piece of metal. He's still there." He explained.
"Oh, let me process this. Sayin' you handcuffed my brother to a roof!" He yelled, Clint noticed Natasha had her gun aimed at him. "And you left him there!"
"Yeah." Rick said, Daryl threw his bag over Rick's head and moved to attack him. Shane and Steve tackled him. Daryl removed a knife from his belt and swung it at Rick. Rick moved backwards. Rick tackled Daryl and Shane grabbed him behind his head.
"Okay, okay." Shane said,
"You best let me go!" Daryl yelled,
"Naw, I think this is better." Shane said,
"Choke hold's illegal." Daryl said, Clint was suprised he knew that.
"Come on now. We can keep this up all day." Shane said,
"I'd like to have a calm disscussion. Man to man. Think we can manage that?" Rick said, Daryl was breathing heavily. Shane nodded and let Daryl go. Natasha had put her gun down. "What I did was a whim. Your brother does not work and play well with others." Rick said,
"It's not Rick's fault." T-Dog spoke up. "I had the key. I dropped it."
"Didn't pick it up?" Daryl asked,
"Well, I dropped it down a drain." He said, Daryl stood up.
"That's suppost to make me feel bettter," Daryl said, "It don't!"
"Maybe this will. Got the door to the roof padlocked so the geeks won't get him."
"It's gotta count for something." Rick then said, Daryl wiped his eyes.
"Hell with all ya'll!" He yelled,
"We're already in hell." Tony muttered,
"Just tell me where he is. So I can go get him." Daryl said,
"He'll show you." Lori then said, "Isn't that right?" They stared at her. Rick nodded.
"I'm going back." Rick said, Lori went into the RV and Daryl walked away.
"I'm going." Steve said to Clint.
"Alright." Clint said,
"Natasha told me she's going too." Steve continued. Clint gluped.
"Well, it's her choice." He said, Shane and Rick were talking not too far away. The two stopped their conversation to hear theirs.
"Hey, choose your words carefully." Daryl said,
"Oh, no. I did. Douchebag's what I meant." Shane said, Clint snorted. "Merle Dixon. That guy wouldn't give you a glass of water if you were dyin' of thirst." He said,
"It doesn't intrest me. I let a man die of thirst. Me. Thirst and exposure." Rick said, "We left him like an animal caught in a trap. That's no way for anything to die. Not a human being."
"So you and Daryl? That's your big plan?" Lori asked,
"No. Natasha and I talked and agreed to go." Steve said,
"Thank you." Rick said,
"You didn't do nothin'." Daryl said,
"We didn't. But it's kind of what we do. We're used to this stuff." Steve said,
"The walkers too?" Daryl said,
"No, but we've dealt with aliens." Natasha said, Rick looked a bit shocked but nodded, and turned to Glenn.
"Aw, come on." He groaned,
"You knew the way before. In and out no problem. You said so yourself." Rick said, "It's not fair of me to ask, I know that, but I'd feel alot better with you along. I know she would too." He looked back at Lori for a quick second.
"That's just great. Your gonna risk four men and a woman." Shane said,
"Five." T-Dog said, Daryl scoffed.
"My day just gets better and better." Clint rolled his eyes.
"You don't see anybody else steppin up to save Merle's ass." T-Dog said,
"Why you?"
"You don't understand. You don't speak my language."
"Six. You're putting every single one of us in danger. Just know that Rick."
