Search and Rescue
I own nothing! Everything belongs to Robert Kirkman and AMC.
Just a warning I know the punctuation is a little off. I've had to live with open office and let me tell you it SUCKS!
I speak like a Dixon therefore I write like one. There will be swearing. Also for sack of arguments, Merle is 35, Daryl is 29, carol is 32 and Beth is 20.
Thank you so much for all the amazing reviews! Two chapters tonight because of warm fuzzies!
Carol laughed as Daryl fed her another piece of sushi. She hadn't been so sure about going to a sushi restaurant, but Daryl loved it! They had a small table in the corner, tasting and trying things neither of them had had before, all the while talking between themselves.
"Wait, so you fell on your own arrow?"
Daryl laughed. "Yeah, I was a dumb ass, fell right down the cliff on my arrow. Hurt like hell!"
"How did you make it back up to the top? That must have hurt so bad!"
"it sucked. I had hit my head too, so I was hallucinating. Knew it wasn't real 'cause Merle was in jail at the time, but I kept seeing him. Hell I only got back up because he was pissing me off and I wanted to beat his face in."
Carol laughed as Daryl took another piece and bit into it. In a second his face went blank, then Daryl did the best impression of the Mr. Yuck symbol Carol had ever seen. As she laughed, Carol watched as he struggled and eventually swallowed.
"Which one was that?!"
Daryl took a big gulp of his water before he spoke.
"Eel I think. What ever it was, it squeaked when I bite down!"
the two laughed before leaning forward to kiss. As they sat back, Carol looked up at Daryl
"Merle normally piss you off?"
"Yeah, but he's ma brother, gotta love the asshole. Somethin's up with him though."
Carol glanced at the platter in front of them, and set the eel pieces aside
"What makes you say that? I haven't really met him yet, but I know he's been flirting with Beth a lot."
"that's what has me wonderin'. He's been doggin' at Beth for three weeks now. Any other girl, Merle would have said screw it and moved on. But not Beth na, he's hung up on her. When I pointed out today his lines weren't workin' he got pissed as shit, stomped off in a tantrum."
"I wouldn't say his lines weren't working."
"What makes ya say that?"
Carol smirked up at Daryl as she fed him another piece.
"Because I know Beth lied to us. Jimmy isn't her boyfriend, he's her best friend, and he's gay. She's just using Jimmy to make Merle jealous. Oldest play in the book."
"Fuck, ya serious? Well it'll work, just hope Jimmy stays away from Merle, 'cause he's liable to get socked in the face."

Beth stood in Carol's kitchen fixing dinner. Jimmy had offered to help, but Beth was mad at him. Jimmy wouldn't say what he said to Merle, and it was driving Beth nuts. She was about to call Sophia and Jimmy into the kitchen from the living room, when she heard a pounding on the door. Manny howled at the sudden sound.
Sophia ran up to her with a frightened look in her eye: the last time someone had pounded on the door like that Ed had chased her into the woods. Beth looked thru the peep hole to see Ed standing there looking angry.
Beth turned to Sophia
"Sophia, take manny and go to your room, shut the door and stay there. I'll take care of him."
Sophia ran off to her room, but Jimmy stopped Beth as she went to open the door. The chain lock was still on, but Jimmy was worried.
"Beth don't! Listen, I'll distract him out here, you go out the back and get Merle "
Beth turned to him shocked.
"Merle? Why?!"
"Because Ed isn't getting the picture and its going to take a whole lot more then you and I to chase him off. I'd say Merle's perfect for the job."
Beth looked back at the door as Ed pounded again, then turned and ran out the back door, headed to Merle.
