Shit, Shit and More Shit
Tyreese drove, Daryl gave directions, and Michonne and Carol slept in the back seat. The convoy went out ahead and they followed behind for a mile or so and then pulled off the road and parked behind some trees. Their job was to make sure that the convoy wasn't being followed. They waited patiently for ten minutes, and all was quiet. They were preparing to move out when they saw a couple of Humvees speeding down the road.
"Shit, shit, and more shit," Tyreese groaned. The Humvees might catch up with the slower moving convoy and bring the rest of the armada right after them. Daryl woke up Carol and Michonne. They took off after the Humvees. Tyreese thought about the road ahead. It was curvy and there often walkers in the road. The convoy would be traveling at a moderate speed. The Humvees were traveling faster and but were not certain that they were on the right road. Daryl had hunted in these fields and had used a short cut that ran through a field, a creek bed, and a logging road. It met up with an alternative route that was going the same direction as the convoy. He told Tyreese to go off the road and up the slight rise toward a pasture. Tyreese glanced at Daryl but he wasn't kidding. Fortunately, it hadn't rained for a few days and the field was dry. The trip through the creek bed was interesting but the old logging road was pretty good. The crossed the hill and got on what looked like a long driveway, very narrow but straight. Tyreese was driving as fast as he possibly could and still keep on the road.
Daryl was trying to think of some plan to stop the Humvees. They would have to create a roadblock and ambush the Humvees. They were up against trained fighting men with powerful weapons but if they could stop them or slow them down the convoy could get away. Daryl glanced back at Carol and saw that she was checking her weapons. She handed him his rifle and two grenades. Michonne was gathering her weapons together and had two grenades by her seat. Michonne looked at him and said, "Roadblock, ambush," and Daryl nodded. "Carol and I will take the creek side and first Humvees". She nodded and checked Tyreese's rifle.
Tyreese bounced onto the wider roadway, hoping that this had brought them some time. He hit the gas and sped down a relatively straight section of road and then into a blind curve. He kept control of the vehicle but noted a small herd of walkers on down the road. This was the place. He put the Suburban cross ways in the middle of the road, they jumped out with as much fire power as they could carry and ran for cover. Carol could hear the sweet sound of approaching vehicles as they ran toward the creek side of the road. They dove down into the creek bed... Michonne and Tyreese had gone farther up toward the curve to get the second Humvee. Carol and Daryl nodded to each other and checked their weapons. Carol had an automatic rifle, a pistol, and Zak. Daryl his crossbow, a short handled rifle, and a couple of grenades.
The Humvees roared around the curve a full speed, the big Sub in their way. The driver hit the brakes too hard and lost control. It slid sideways in the road grazing the side of the Sub. The second vehicle was able to get stopped without hitting the first Humvee. Tyreese stayed low and rolled a grenade under the Humvee closest to him and covered Michonne's body with his. The fireball from the exploding gas tank created a diversion that allowed Daryl to get a grenade close enough to damage the other Humvee. Carol fired her rifle at the Humvee and moved up slightly behind the rear door and when a uniformed man opened the door she used Zak to kill him. Daryl had the other grenade and she moved away from the vehicle to cover him. Another man tried to exit on the other side and Carol saw Michonne kill him with a pistol. Carol sprayed the Humvee while Daryl threw the grenade in the still open back door. They moved as fast as they could away from it but Daryl didn't make it to the creek when the grenade blew.
Carol blew back up on the road to find Daryl. The Humvee was burning and Michonne shouted that it was clear as Carol found Daryl. He was bleeding from a wound in his arm and his head. He was unconscious but breathing. Michonne came around to her side and told her that Tyreese had a pretty bad leg wound.
There had two serious injuries, walkers approaching, and their car was damaged. Same shit, different day. "Help me get Daryl in the Sub, start the car, and I'll get Tyreese", Carol snapped. Michonne grabbed Daryl's head and Carol his legs and they carried him to the car, Tyreese was already there. They put Daryl in the back, Tyreese in the front with the seat reclined back, and Michonne got their vehicle turned in the right direction and moving before the walkers showed up for brunch. Carol had out the first aid kit and had Tyreese apply pressure to his leg. Daryl was still unconscious but she was able to stop the bleeding in his arm and head.
Michonne managed to get by the walker herd without further damage to their vehicle. She drove for several miles while Carol tended to the injured. Tyreese had lost a lot of blood and he needed antibiotics and sewed up. Daryl had an arm wound that needed antibiotics, stitching, and probably a concussion. He was still unconscious. They needed a doctor, a modern medical facility, and a complete array of medical equipment to make all this come out right. And just to make the day even worse, they had come to a fork in the road. Daryl was the only one who knew where they were going. He was unconscious. The Governor and more of his henchmen would be on their trail as soon as they realized that their guys in the Humvees were dead. Michonne turned the car to the left, she didn't know if that was the right way or the wrong way, but doing nothing was not an option.
