It has been a while since I updated this but that's what I'm doing now :D

Note: Walking Dead isn't owned by me, but it would be pretty sweet if I did.

After spending the whole night making sure all the bodies were dead, the morning had already came. Of all the people who died Ed was the only one Seth had known by name. He felt kind of bad for not remembering the others names. Seth reached down and grabbed one of the bodies and started dragging it towards the fire. As he was dragging it Andrea walked up to him.

"I just wanted to thank you for saving my sister." She said grabbing the legs of the dead body and helping carry it towards the fire.

"Don't mention it." Seth said, "You saved my life as well."

Andrea just smiled, "That I did."

"I guess this makes us even. If you get in trouble again though, I'll be glad to help." Seth said as he and Andrea tossed the body into the fire.

"Same here." Andrea replied walking over to Amy

Seth smiled and waved at Amy and she waved back. He noticed she was now wearing the mermaid necklace that Andrea had given her for her birthday. It was at that moment he noticed that Rick was gone, he wasn't quite sure where he had run off to but Rick would have his reasons. As Seth grabbed another body he noticed Rick coming back through the woods holding a radio. Seth didn't pay much attention to Rick as he started dragging the body to the fire.

Glenn walked over to him before he got to the fire, "That's one of ours so don't burn him. He needs to be buried, so take him over there to the others." He said his voice shaky as he pointed towards the other dead bodies.

"Oh sorry, my bad." Seth replied dragging the body towards the others. Once he got it into the pile. He walked over to one of the logs and sat down. Seth grabbed a bottle of water and took a drink of it. It wasn't long until he heard Glenn telling the same thing he had just told Seth to Daryl and Morales. Of course Daryl had his own witty comeback about his brother being left for dead. Not long after that Jacqui started shouting about Jim being bit. By the time Seth got over there and everyone was circled around Jim. T-Dog came up and behind Jim and grabbed ahold of him.

"I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay." Jim kept repeating over and over again. Seth felt kind of bad for Jim because as he has seen before Jim was most definitely not okay. The main question that he knew was on everyone mind was should we kill him now or wait until he turns? Seth wasn't really sure either way. They had Jim go sit down by the RV while they formed a circle and discussed it.

"I say we put a pick axe in his head and be done with it." Daryl said starting the conversation

"Is that what you want…for you?" Shane asked.

"Yea and I'd thank you while you did it." Daryl replied.

"I hate to say it, I never thought I would but maybe Daryl's right." Dale said.

"So you're just going to walk right up to him and kill him?" Seth said in disbelief

"Jim's not a monster Dale or some rabid dog." Rick said.

"I wasn't suggesting that." Dale said defensively.

"We go down that road where do we draw the line?" Rick asked.

"The line's pretty clear, zero tolerance for walkers." Daryl replied.

"What if we can get him help? I heard the CDC is working on a cure." Rick said.

"I heard that too, I heard a lot of things before the world went to hell." Shane said.

"What if the CDC is still up and running?" Rick asked.

"And that is a stretch right there." Shane replied.

Why?" Rick asked. "If there is any government and structure at all they would protect the CDC at all costs. I think it's our best shot…..Shelter, protection, rescue." He then added.

"I know you want all those things, I do too okay? Now if they exist they are at the military base, Fort Benning." Shane said.

"That's a hundred miles the other way." Lori said.

"Fort Benning sounds better to me than the CDC but, if we want to save Jim we would have to go to the CDC." Seth said.

"You go looking for aspirin, that's what you need to do. Someone needs to have the balls to take care of this…." Daryl said running over getting ready to stab the pick axe into Jim's skull.

Rick was close behind him and pointed the pistol at Daryl, "Hey! Hey! Hey!" He yelled as he ran over to Daryl, "We don't kill the living."

Seth was right behind Rick as he rushed over, his gun was out as well but he had it pointed at the ground.

"That's funny. Coming from a man who just put a gun to my head." Daryl said lowering his pick axe. As Shane came into view behind him, apparently Seth wasn't the only one who followed Rick and Daryl towards Jim.

"We may disagree on somethings but not on this, you put it down. Go on." Shane said. With that Daryl dropped the pick axe and walked off angrily. Seth turned around and walked back over to the others. On the way over he caught Rick saying he was going to take Jim somewhere safe. He wondered if there was a chance Rick was just saying that and was actually going to go kill him. After what Rick had said to Daryl he highly doubted it.

Most of the group followed Rick who had Jim with him. Seth went over and found Amy and Andrea sitting on a log and decided to talk to them.

"Thanks again for saving my life." Amy said looking at Seth.

"Don't worry about it your sister already thanked me." Seth replied.

"That I did." Andrea added.

"I know but I didn't get to thank you yet, so thank you." Amy said leaning over giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Seth blushed slightly, "No problem, I'm sure you would have done the same for me."

"Actually I would have probably shot at the walker and hit you in the arm." Amy replied with a laugh.

Seth and Andrea laughed as well. "It's not that hard sis. Just point and shoot." Andrea had said even though she had never shot a gun.

Seth turned his attention towards Carol stabbing the pick axe through Ed's head over and over again, Seth was about to talk but Amy started talking before he could, "I think it's great she finally got to give that man what he deserves, even though he's dead and can't feel it." She said.

"So Fort Benning or CDC?" Seth said trying to change the subject.

"Duh, CDC Jim needs a cure and we could use the cure just in case." Amy said.

"Are you kidding? Fort Benning most definitely if there's a place we can be safe that's the place." Andrea said.

Seth smiled at them, "I'm gonna go see if Dale wants me to keep watch so he can go with the others up to mourn with the others. Happy birthday" He said as he stood up and walked over towards Dale.

Seth finally reached Dale, "Hey you want me to keep watch so you can go bury and mourn our losses?"

Dale looked shocked, "Aren't you going come mourn as well?"

"I didn't know them as well as you plus someone's gotta keep watch." Seth replied.

Dale handed him the rifle and walked over to Amy and Andrea. Dale said a few things to them and they all walked off towards where they would be burying the dead. Seth climbed up the ladder of the RV and watched for anything suspicious.

After about an hour or 2 Seth noticed everyone was coming back. He noticed Rick and Lori having some kind of a conversation. It was then that Dale had come up and took back for his rifle.

"See anything?" Dale asked.

Seth just shook his head as he climbed down the ladder, "Nope, was pretty clear."

As soon as Seth reached the bottom of the ladder Shane walked up to him. "What do you think?" He asked Seth.

"I don't know what to think, either way will be a gamble. Either place could be overrun and empty." Seth said.

Shane nodded, "I hear you, I'm sure Fort Benning is the best choice."

Seth shrugged, "It's not my choice, you're gonna have to plead your case to Rick. It seems he's quickly became one of the main people everyone is looking to for answers."

Shane opened his mouth as if he was going to say something but then he saw Lori and walked off towards her.

Seth walked over and took a seat on a nearby tree stump. After a few seconds Dale walked up to him.

"You might want to start packing up your stuff, we'll probably be leaving after Shane and Rick do their final sweep." Dale said.

"Alright, if you need me to keep watch while you're packing up I'd be happy too." Seth said.

"Thanks, I'll let you know." Dale said looking off in the distance apparently something had caught his eye as he started walking towards the way Rick and Shane had walked off to.

"Where you going? Need me to keep watch til you get back?" Seth asked.

"I'll only be a minute." Dale said.

Seth shrugged and went to his tent and started putting things back into his bag. Seth came back just in time for Shane and Rick to return followed by Dale. Shane stood around everyone else and Seth knew right away it was time for some sort of speech.

"I've uh….I've been thinking about Ricks plan. Now look there are no uh…no guarantees, I'll be the first to admit that. I've known this man a long time and I trust his instincts. I say the most important thing here is we need to stick together. Those of you who agree we leave first thing in the morning. Ok? " Shane said looking immediately at Seth who gave him a nod back.

Seth walked straight to his tent and went straight to bed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day and they were going to need their rest.

The next morning came what felt like almost immediately. Everyone packed up in silence there was barely a word said to anyone. After that they all lined up and received a speech from Shane. Seth half listen as he was too busy noticing that Amy was staring at him. He caught some of it something about channel 40 and honking the horn to stop the other cars. The part that shocked him the most was when Morales said he wasn't going with them. Seth just stood in silence while they had a very short discussion about Morales leaving. Many hugs and goodbyes were said. It was then time to go and Seth had chosen to ride in the jeep with Shane.

After a few minutes into the trip Shane turned and looked at Seth.

"You haven't been here long and I already feel like I can trust you more than anyone else here." Shane said.

"It's because I have such a great smile." Seth said giving Shane a big smile.

Shane shook his head and laughed, "You're crazy man but I need to talk to you about something and I need you to not tell anyone else alight?"

"Alright what is it?"

"It's about Rick, since he returned I feel kind of, useless…"

"Why would you say that?"

"Well before he was here I was in charge and now it seems like more people are looking towards him for answers than me."

"Well you gotta figure he is also a cop and he has actually been out there alone and fought his way here. Glenn told me on the way here that Rick had managed to escape a horde and seek refuge in a take til Glenn helped him. If he told others that you gotta figure what they are gonna think."

Shane shook his head, "I guess you're right. I kind of wish he didn't come back."

Seth was amazed by him being told all this, "Wait….what?" He asked.

"Well if Rick hadn't come back me and Lori would still be together…."

Seth cut him off, "Shane….That's his wife, I mean he's back now so you gotta figure…."

"I gotta figure what?!" Shane said getting louder. "That she was faking all of it just because Rick wasn't here to protect her?"

"I hate to say it but that's probably right. There's other people out there who would love to have you…."

"We had sex." Shane said cutting off Seth.

"You….Lori…" Seth was at a loss for words before he finally composed himself. "You must not tell Rick."

"I know." Shane said quietly.

"Listen, you just need to put this all past you. I think Andrea has a thing for you." Seth said with a smile.

"Amy definitely has a thing for you." Shane said.

"Really?"

"Have you seen the way she stares at you?"

"It's probably just because I saved her life and she feels like she owes me."

"No, No, No. She definitely likes you." Shane said.

"Alright, alright well, anyway just remember what I said….No need to let this thing drive you crazy." Seth said before turning his attention to the road. The rest of the trip went quietly until the hose on the RV broke.

After a brief discussion about the RV, Shane and T-dog went up to a nearby gas station to look for something and Rick went in to talk to Jim who according to Jacqui was getting worse. Seth just walked back and forth along the woods looking for walkers.

When Shane got back there was a conversation about Jim wanting to be left behind.

"And he lucid?" Carol asked.

"He seems to be. I would say yes." Rick replied.

"This is crazy, he'll die for sure." Seth chimed in.

"It's his decision." Rick said.

"Back in the camp when I said Daryl might be right and you shut me down. You misunderstood, I would never go along with carelessly killing a man. I was just going to suggest we ask Jim what he wants. I think we got our answer." Dale said next.

"We just leave him here? And take off? I'm not sure I can live with that." Shane said looking at Rick.

"It's not your call…either one of you." Lori said.

They placed Jim next to a tree and Seth stood off in the distance unsure what was being said amongst them. Seth gave Jim a good bye wave and walked towards Shane's Jeep. They then started the cars and drove off. At some point they must have fixed the RV with something Shane and T-dog had found and Seth had not noticed. Seth stared at Jim as they drove off. It was kind of a sad thing to see before they drove off.

After a while they pulled up to the CDC. There were dead bodies all over the place and it was starting to get dark. You could see bunkers where they were trying to hold it down but had failed. Things did not look good at all. They all got out of the cars with their guns ready. Seth had his pistol ready to fire at anything walking or better yet limping at them. A little bit of chatter was going on amongst themselves but nothing too important mostly just stay together. They got to the door and there were big metal shutters down. Seth was turned watching their backs for walkers while they banged on the door and chattered amongst themselves.

"There's nobody here." T-Dog said.

"Then why are these shutters down?" Rick asked.

"Walkers!" Daryl called out before Seth could.

Daryl killed a walker then the yelling started. Daryl was yelling about Rick making the wrong call and Shane was trying to back Rick up. Maybe Seth's discussion had helped.

They were then discussing what to do. They were too close to the city and it was getting dark. Fort Benning was suggested but it was turned down rather quickly. Rick eventually said they'll think of something. Everyone started back to the cars.

"The camera it moved." Rick said causing everyone to freeze in place.

"You imagined it." Dale said almost immediately

"It moved…It moved" Rick said moving towards the shutter.

Shane tried to talk him into heading back to the cars but to no avail. Rick pounded on the door and tried to reason with the camera.

"You're killing us! You're killing us!" Rick yelled over and over until the shutter suddenly opened.

Seth stared at the bright light coming from the other side of the shutter as did everyone else.
