They had been driving for silence for few minutes when Daryl noticed that Glenn fidgeting with his left hand. That's when he noticed the wedding ring.
"Ya'll get married?" he asked
"Yeah, about six months ago. Rick married us so Hershel could give her away. "
"Congratulations, wish I'd been there."
"Yeah. You could have been best man instead of Carl he nearly lost the rings." He said sadly realizing that the kid could be dead. "Maggie's pregnant." He said suddenly. "Should be about five months now."
"Well damn, ya don't waste anytime do ya?"
Glenn smiled but he didn't say anything.
Daryl cast a glance at him. He wasn't any good at this. But he wanted to say something to make him feel better. "Look man, where going to find her. Maggie tough she and yer kid are going to be just fine." He grimaced when he realized he had said the same to Carol about Sophia and he couldn't have been more long.
"Shit!" he said suddenly.
"Whats wrong?" asked Glenn.
"Were losing oil pressure. Must a leak." He said stopping the car and popping the hood. Gleen followed him out. Daryl pulled out the dip stick and wiped it on his shirt. "Yep were over a quart low." He said putting the stick back in place.
"I can probably fix it." Said Glenn.
"Ya think so?"
He nodded. "Dale taught me how."
"Ok but we better get back to house first. Carol's probably starting to worry by now. I think there's some oil in the truck. Grab it and we can get out of here. I'm starting to get a bad feeling."
They were just about to get back in the car when heard a rumbling they looked up in time to see military type jeep coming toward them.
"Should we make a break for it?" asked Glenn.
"Be cool. Let's see what they want. Keep yer weapon close." He said pulling his crossbow from the back seat and hand Glenn the gun that he had tucked into the back of his pants.
They stood by the door, hands on their weapons when four men approached them.
"You boys lost," the largest of the four men. The guy built like a tank.
"Na, were fine. Just a little car trouble. But got it worked out." Said Daryl.
The tank look back and forth between Daryl and Glenn as if were sizing them up.
"You got a group?"the tank asked.
"Not anymore." Answered Glenn. "We got separated."
The tank was quite for moment. "You could come with us. We always looking for new people."
"No thanks." Said Daryl. "We're better on our own. We gonna keep lookin for our group. But thank ya fer the offer." He said his tightening on his crossbow. He had a really bad feeling about this group. "We'll be goin now?" he nodded his head at Glenn indicating that he should get in the car.
"Now hold up boys. No need to be so hasty. Why don't you just come back with us to our camp check it out. We have everything you could want. Good food, a place to sleep, women. You could have anyone of them you wanted anytime you wanted." He walked a little closer to them the three men behind him following suit.
Daryl didn't like the way this guy was talking. It made him really uneasy. They needed to get the hell out of her. Glenn cast a glance at . He could tell from the look on Glenn face he was thinking the same thing.
"Thanks again for the offer. But we're gonna pass. Come on Glenn."
The tank waved his hand at the guys standing behind him and they stepped forward rifles raised.
"You boys aren't going anywhere." Said the tank. "You're coming with us." He said taking a step toward Glenn and made a move to grab him.
Glenn raised his gun out it directly in the tanks face. "Back off." He said.
The other men stepped rushed forward to help their leader. Daryl raised his cross and pointed at the tanks face.
"Ya boys better back off. I'll shoot before ya ever get a chance to pull the trigger. They stood still now one moving for several moments no one hearing the screech of tires as another car came to a stop.
"Stay here!" Merle ordered Maggie. He rushed forward to help Glenn and his brother. He couldn't believe eyes. He had actually found him.
Glenn turned at the sound behind him. "Maggie!" he cried. He made a move toward her. We felt the tank grab a hold of his arm and tried to pull the gun from it. Glenn jerked back and pulled the gun from his grasp. He stumbled back and Glenn raised the gun and shot him point blank in the chest. He stumbled back grabbed at his chest before collapsing on the ground.
That was when all hell broke loose. The three men started firing on them. Glenn shoved Maggie behind the car. He Daryl and Merle began firing back Daryl with his crossbow he and Merle with hand guns. Where had he come from anyway and what was he doing with Maggie. He shook his head. He didn't have time to think about that right now.
After a few minutes the three men lay on the ground not moving. Merle was the first to stand up.
"Nice shooting short round." Said Merle tucking the gun back into his pants. He looked around for his brother. Where the hell was he?
"Oh my god," he heard Maggie yell. "They rushed around to where she was standing. Daryl was laying on the ground blood soaking through his shirt.
AN: I hope you don't hate me for ending it there. I'm off work tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to get another chapter out. Provided all this bad weather doesn't knock the power out. Hope you enjoyed. Let me know what you think.
