Rico looked at nathan and tried to catch him as his legs crumpled underneath him.

"Nathan?" she shook him "fucktard?...coast boy?!" rico shook him hard hoping he would wake up. "dont do this to me. don't you die on me. i didn't die on you. your not allowed to die." rico said. rico looked back they were close to the building close enough she could tell it was a prison. but what discouraged her was the fact that the yard was full of walkers and their was no way she could get nathan through it in the state he was in. "there's no way i can get him there with the condition he's in" rico said aloud feeling defeated. rico looked at the ground trying to figure out how she could get nathan through the courtyard.

A car could be heard not far away. It was driving somewhat slow, most likely using caution, as not to hit walkers. rico picked her head up and looked around frantically thinking it was the governor. The car was closer now. Two voices could be heard, talking to each other. One was male, the other female. It would've sounded normal, if not for the fact that cars barely ever drove now. The two people in the car became silent as the vehicle approached. rico grabbed her 45 just incase she swallowed thickly ready to protect nathan to the last breath. The car's headlights came into view. rico sat there finger just barely above the trigger of her gun. she looked around and realized she was screwed in a firefight there was absolutely no cover and the walkers would hear and come running.

The car stopped. There was slight conversation, and one person exited the vehicle. He had a gun, maybe a 45. He looked around, and spotted the walkers in the yard. Rico was slightly relieved that it wasn't the governor but for all she knew he could have been working for the governor. He motioned to the other person and said something that Rico couldn't hear. The other person got out of the car, with a knife and a slightly larger gun in her hands. rico put her gun away she might be stubborn but she didn't have a death wish. The female figure turned and looked directly at Rico. Rico moved more in front of nathan just incase. The figure stared at them for a moment. She then looked at the male figure. What she said was very quiet, but could still be heard from a distance.

"Glen! How the hell did you miss those two?" she asked quietly, pointing to Rico and Nathan. "You know we have to search thoroughly, what if they're armed?" The male figure sighed.

"Sorry, Maggie…" he muttered. rico watched their conversation with uncertain eyes all that mattered to her right now was that nathan was safe and the bleeding had stopped. The female figure looked back over at Rico. She waved slightly, testing if Rico was hostile or not. rico didn't quite know what to do some people acted friendly and then they werent. it had happened to her before they could help nathan. i should let them know i'm friendly rico thought she waved back slightly. The female figure walked, cautiously, toward Rico.

"What happened?" she asked, motioning to Nathan.

"he got shot by some ass in woodbury while we were escaping." rico said moving closer to nathan. The figure nodded.

"Well, we've got a group in the prison. We have some supplies." she said.

"i had a place to call home but the governor fucking blew it up with all my supplies still inside." rico said hate dripping from her voice at the mention of the governor. The girl's eyes widened.

"The governor? Damn, that's where you were…" she muttered, stomping her foot on the ground slightly.

"i'm assuming you've met him before." rico said. The girl nodded.

"You could say that…" she muttered, anger in her voice.

"looks like we both got somethin in common we both hate the governor." rico said.

"He the guy who shot your friend?"

"im pretty sure considering he did quite the number on the governor" rico said.

"Did he? What kind of number, like physically or callin' him names? The guy's crazy, he'd be pissed off at either one." she said, crossing her arms.

"he stabbed him in the shoulder thats all i remember because i blacked out" rico said trying to remain calm. The girl nodded.

"I'm Maggie. You?"

"rico and this" she nodded at nathan "is nathan" rico was pretty sure she'd regret telling maggie nathan's name later. Maggie looked back at the car.

"Well...get in, I guess." she said, walking back to the vehicle. rico stood up and pulled one of nathan's arms over her shoulder and walked over to the car. Nathan's eyes opened, somewhat. rico opened the back door on the passenger's side and set nathan in it then shut the door and went around to the other side and got in her self. Nathan was trying to look at Rico, but he seemed too tired to lift his own switched the safety on her 45 back on. Finally, Nathan lifted his head and looked at Rico.

"nathan?" rico questioned not believing her eyes. Nathan sighed out of exhaustion.

"Rico…" he murmured.

"yeah" rico answered.

"Where...where are we...going?" he asked.

"somewhere safe nathan" rico said. Nathan nodded slowly. He closed his eyes again. rico brushed some of his hair out of his face

"sleep well nathan" she said.

A few minutes later, the car stopped.

"Alright, can Nathan walk out of the car on his own?" Maggie asked.

"i think hes asleep" rico said.

"Well, he can't stay out here, not unless he likes being eaten by walkers. Now, either he's staying or coming with us." she said, losing patience.

"i'll see if i can get him up" rico said slightly irritated. she shook nathan's shoulder "hey fucktard get up" she said. Nathan opened his eyes.

"Hm? What...what's happening, again?" he asked tiredly.

"do you think you can walk nathan?" she asked.

"I...I think, yeah." he said.

"you heard him. he thinks he can walk" rico said looking at maggie. Maggie nodded, and she and Glen exited the car.

"come on nathan." rico said getting out of the car. Nathan stood up, and winced as he closed the car door.

"you sure you don't need any help?" rico asked walking over to nathan's side. Nathan sighed and gripped his arm.

"Once I get this fucking bullet out, I'll be fine…" he said.

"ok. lets go" she said walking toward the door to the prison. Nathan followed, struggling to walk.

" you sure you don't need any help" rico questioned. Nathan shook his head.

"I'll be fine…" he slumped against the wall of the grabbed one of nathan's arms and draped it over her shoulder

"you can walk my ass" rico said. Nathan sighed.

"S-sorry…" he said. rico rolled her eyes and walked into the prison kinda dragging nathan beside her. Nathan wasn't exactly helping, given the fact that he could barely walk.

"maggie you guys got a place i can set him down?" rico questioned. Maggie looked around.

"Anywhere's good, I guess. I'd go for the cells." she said, walking into the other room.

"guess you're sleeping in a cell coast boy." rico said. Nathan nodded.

"Could be worse." he muttered. rico walked over to a cell and et nathan on one of the beds.

"sleep well coast boy" she said.

"Where are you gonna go? A prison isn't exactly the best place to let your guard down." Nathan said, regaining some of his voice.

"to meet the rest of the group" rico said starting to walk away. Nathan grabbed her arm.

"Promise me you'll be safe." he said.

"i will i promise" she smiled slightly. Nathan nodded and let go of Rico's arm. she walked away.
