"I found it in my parents rooms..." Noah started, he held up the notebook like some sort of prized relic from days long since passed.
Emma scoffed. "You're such a snoop."
"Hush, go on Noah." Lidia said softly.
"Anyway..." He glared at Emma. "I was reading it one night, just a bunch of boring stuff about Mom's crop charts and stuff. But then I found this page in the back." He flipped it to one of the last few pages and showed it to the girls. In Maggie's elegant handwriting was a few simple words... Daryl went back.
"What? That's it?!" Emma snapped. "That's not even close to helpful!"
Lidia spun around with her hand on her head incomplete disbelief. "Oh my god... I know where he is!"
Emma raised an eyebrow. "You...do?"
Noah grinned. "He went back to Grandpa Hershel's farm in Atlanta. Where he first met Aunt Beth."
"Holy shit." Emma gasped. "Lidia...we know where he is, we can go find him..."
Lidia spun around to face everyone. "But Atlanta has to be atleast ten hours away by car, god knows how long it would take us to get there on foot."
"Who says we're walking?" Noah beamed and stepped a side and nodded out the window. The girls rushed over and looked out the window and saw Rick's car he used for runs.
"Are you out... of your mind?!" Emma shot. "You want us to take Rick's car?! Don't you think he'll notice it's gone?!"
"I'm dying to hear this plan..." Lidia said crossing her arms over her chest.
"It's not my plan... it's hers." He pointed out the window again. Judith Grimes opened the driver side door, flipped her long brown hair out of her face and waved.
"You little..." Emma snapped but then lowered her voice to a whisper. "You said you were sick!"
Judith smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "Didn't feel like doing my chores, so sue me."
"Rick is gonna do more than that if he finds out we took his car, drove all the way back to Atlanta just to find my dad." Lidia said in a panic. "This is crazy...we can't do this..."
"Lidia!" Emma said grabbing her by the shoulders. "Do you want to find him?"
"I guess..."
Emma glared and tightened her grip. "That's not an answer... DO YOU WANT TO FIND HIM?! Because I need to know right now... that this is something worth possibly the worst grounding I will ever get in my entire life."
Lidia nodded slowly. "Yes. Yes I do." She said in a determined tone. "I deserve answers."
"Yes ma'am you do." Emma smiled and hugged Lidia. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but what's the plan?"
Noah beamed and crawled out the window. "Meet us behind the church in an hour and we'll go over the plan then."
Emma and Lidia watched as he traversed down the tree and disappeared in between houses and into the night. "We're gonna be in so much trouble."
"Aw come on Lidia, imagine the adventure this gonna be!" Emma clapped her hands excitedly. "Show some enthusiasm!"
"We are so dead." Lidia said with a fake excited tone. "What if he doesn't want to be found or worse..."
Emma took her best friend's hand and patted it gently. "You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one."
Lidia laughed. "You are so cheesy." She took a deep breath and smiled. "Ok, let's do it. Let's go find my dad."
