"What's going on, why is everything turning off?" Daryl asked as he popped his head out of his room with the bottle of alcohol in his hand. Everybody started following Jenner to the computer lab.

As Jenner walked past him he grabbed the bottle from Daryl and kept walking as he answered the questions.

"Energy use is being prioritized." He answered simply.

"Air isn't a priority?" Dale asked. "And lights?"

"It's not up to me. Zone 5 is shutting itself down."

"Hey," Daryl yelled at him. "Hey, what the hell does that mean?" When he realized that Jenner wasn't going to answer he ran after him. "Hey man, I'm talking to you. What do you mean it's shutting itself down? How can a building do anything?"

"You'd be surprised." Jenner said simply. Just then Rick and the others came running into the room.

"Jenner, what's happening?" Rick demanded as he marched up to Dr. Jenner.

"The system is dropping all the nonessential uses of power." He said. He always had to say it in the most complicated way so that the others couldn't quite understand it. "It's designed to keep the computers running to the last possible second. That started as we approached the half hour mark. Right on schedule." He said as he pointed to the red countdown.

Everyone gathered around him not sure of what to say as he drank from his bottle. Rose just sat in a chair and got comfortable. She made her decision of what she was going to do now.

Jenner handed the bottle to Daryl and started to explain to the group that the French were the last people to hold out, thinking that they were close to a solution but that the power had run out and their time was up. The same thing that was happening here.

The alarms started going off and VI came on over the speaker. "30 minutes to decontamination"

Everybody started freaking out and tried to make their way to get their possessions when the door to the room sealed shut. That only made things worse.

Daryl made his way to the doctor yelling about how he locked us in and was about to hit Jenner with the bottle of alcohol when Shane and T-Dog grabbed him, but Daryl kept fighting against them. As Rick went to the doctor to get an answer, Rose went to Daryl to try to calm him down.

"Would you shut up?" She said to him, so not exactly the best approach to calming someone down, but she was still mad at him from the night before.

"Excuse me?" he asked in disbelief.

"You heard me. Just calm down. Accept what is going to happen here. This place is going blow itself up and us with it."

"How is that supposed to calm me down? Are you saying you want to stay in here and die with it?"

"Yes, I have nothing else to live for. The world is ending and we are dumb to believe that we will make it out. I lived my life alone and now I will die alone."

"Is this about last night?"

"What happened last night?" She asked and walked away, taking the bottle with her.

Shane and T-Dog looked at Daryl with questioning eyes about what he had said about last night.

"Shove off." He said to them and walked away.

"You know what this place is?" Rose suddenly heard Jenner yell at the group. "We protected the public from very nasty stuff! Weaponized small pox! Ebola strains that could wipe out half the country! Stuff you don't want getting out! Ever!" He calmed down a bit and sat back in his chair. "In the event of a catastrophic power failure," he started to explain calmly, "in a terrorist attack, for example, H.I.T's are deployed to prevent any organisms from getting out."

"H.I.T's?" Rick asked him.

"VI define." Jenner said.

"HIT'S, high-impulse thermobaric fuel-air explosives consist of a two stage aerosol ignition that produces a blast wave of significantly greater power and duration than any other known explosive except nuclear. The vacuum-pressure effect ignites the oxygen between 5,000 and 6,000 degrees and is useful when the greatest loss of life and damage to structures is desired." VI explained

"It sets the air on fire." Jenner explained in terms the group could understand.

"No pain," Rose said. "An end to sorrow, grief, regret. Everything."

"You can't want to live like that." Daryl said to her as he took the bottle back.

"No, I don't. Because it's not living, it's ending. And that's what I want. To end everything so that I don't have to live with the regret of never really living in the first place, of never taking chances on anything, like fun, friends, or even love." She said as she walked away and sat in another chair.

Things only got worse after that. Daryl threw the bottle at the door, so now he didn't even have anything to calm him remotely. "Open the damn door!" He yelled at Jenner.

When Jenner didn't respond both Shane and Daryl started to hit the door with axes in hopes that it would bust it open. Men were so dumb sometimes, Rose thought.

"Can't make a dent." Shane said as he came back to the group.

"These doors are designed to withstand a rocket launcher." Jenner said.

"Well your head ain't." Daryl shouted as he ran towards Jenner with the axe. This time it took three of the guys to wrestle the axe away from him.

Rose shook her head and made her way farther from the group and sat down, getting lost in her own thoughts. She vaguely noticed Shane point a gun at Jenner's head and demand the door to be opened. Why did they have to fight so much for another way to die? She didn't move until Shane started shooting computers. Then she moved back to the group as Rick had to take the gun from Shane.

"What the hell is wrong with everyone?" She yelled at everyone. "You're only fighting him to get out of here and just die out there. We are all going to die out there. What's the point of all this?"

Rick got the gun from Shane and looked at Rose in disbelief. He never thought he would hear her say that. She was so very different from the girl he met only a few days ago. "How could you say that? If that's the way you feel then why did you hide in my hospital room instead of stepping in line to get shot?" He asked her.

"Because I didn't realize what I know now. Yes, only a couple days ago I was fighting to live, but Jenner is right and now, I'm comfortable with staying here and dying just like I would out there. I can't protect myself, I don't know how to fight, and I can't expect all of you to protect me. I would just be the weak link and end up getting others killed."

Rick shook his head and turned back to Jenner and demanded answers. Rose sat there and listened to Jenner explain to them about his wife and how he promised to keep going as long as he could, while Daryl kept hitting the door with the axe in the background. Rose walked up to Daryl while the group pleaded with Jenner.

"Why do you have to keep hitting the door? You know it's not going to do anything." She said to him.

"Why do you have to give up hope? You don't know that you are going to die." He responded and continued hitting the door.

"It's a highly likely chance that I will. I'm just speeding up the process by staying here. Besides, you all don't know me well enough to care if I die."

"These people took you in, that means they care. You have become a friend to them, to Sophia and Carl, they care, and that should keep you going. But if you're right and they don't care, I do."

"Oh Daryl," she said putting her hand on his shoulder making him stop his useless pounding on the door and look at her. "If you cared, you would have been there next to me when I woke up this morning." She started walking back towards the group as Jenner opened the doors. She stopped and turned around.

"Come on," Daryl said to her.

The group was getting together by the door and Rose just stared at Daryl. Nothing he could say or do now would change her mind. She made her choice. She turned from him and sat down in a chair. She took one last look towards where he was and saw him running down the hallway. She turned back and saw Dale trying to convince Andrea that she needed to come with him. It was a useless attempt.

Then all of a sudden she felt herself being lifted up and thrown over someone's shoulder. She could smell the woods, dirt and blood. She looked up at the back of Daryl's head.

"What the hell are you doing?" She yelled and started trying to get free but he was much stronger than her.

"Proving that someone cares if you live or die." He said as he ran towards the window leading outside.

"Oh like you care." She scoffed, still struggling against him. They were outside now and running towards his truck.

He put her down behind the truck but grabbed her as she tried to make a run back towards the building. She saw Dale and Andrea come running out as well.

The countdown was up. The building blew and Daryl covered Rose to protect her.

"Yes, I do." He said when it was over and kissed her. When the kiss ended she looked at him, and slapped him.

The other vehicles were starting up and leaving so Rose had no other choice but to get into Daryl's truck with him. As soon as they stopped she was going to hop into someone else's vehicle.
