When Sage opened her eyes, the pain in her head snapped them shut again. Someone was running their fingers through her hair. Her stomach rolled so she started taking deep breaths. She was praying she wouldn't throw up. She opened her eyes again and looked into the face of the young girl who was holding her head. The little girl was crying quietly. Sage shut her eyes again as her life rushed back to her.

" Rick, think about it. Remember everything we went through to find Sophia and look how that turned out. Do you really want to put the group through that again? We don't even know this girl." Shane said softly to Rick.

" I ain't askin you to go." Daryl said as he came up on the two men. He was slipping his crossbow onto his back.

" All I'm saying is we don't even know this girl and you want to go storming through the woods after her and her husband. What the hell, man?" Shane asked.

" I know her." Daryl said. The sun was bright and he was squinting slightly again. " I know her and he ain't her husband." They were standing by Rick's car.

" Listen, Shane, we aren't asking you to come but I'm going with Daryl. That Mike wasn't sitting well with me and I was up all night. I want to make sure she's okay." Rick said. Shane shook his head and looked at Daryl.

" How do you know her?" Shane asked.

" She used to be my girlfriend. I used to date her." Daryl said. Shane sighed and looked at Rick than back at Daryl.

" You sure about this? You sure he isn't her husband?" Shane asked. Daryl nodded, it was sharp and quick.

" If nothing else we can just say we wanted to make sure she's okay." Rick said. Shane shook his head again.

" Well, you know I'm not letting you go at this alone. Let's get some horses and head out." He said.

Daryl was surprised that T-Dog offered to come too. Hershel loaned them all horses and they set off in the direction the car had left. Daryl paid attention to the tire marks. It wasn't hard for him to follow them and after an hour of travel time, a huge complex came into view. There were two men on the roof, walking slowly around with guns.

" What the hell is going on?" Shane whispered to his group.

" Somthin ain't right." Daryl said softly.

" Maybe they are just on watch for walkers. Let's just walk calmly so they don't open fire on us." Rick said.

Carefully the four men crept up to the complex. The men on the roof had walked to back of the complex and hadn't seen them. Daryl reached the door first and carefully pulled it open. He had his cross bow up and ready to fire if need be. Something wasn't sitting well in his stomach. He didn't think it was as easy as Rick said, he didn't think they were on the watch for walkers.

They started down the first hallway they found. It went off to the left and the first thing the four noticed was the jail cells. The complex was silent and all four were tensed and ready for action. They walked down the hallway until they came to the last cell on the right. There, huddled on a cot, was Sage and a young girl. Slowly Sage's eyes lifted and met Daryl's.

" Daryl." She said in surprised. She nudged the girl to sit up.

" What the hell is goin on? Why are you in there?" He asked. She quickly crossed the cell and grabbed the bars.

" It's Mike. He's not a good guy." She said. Shane and T-Dog were looking down the hall, keeping watch.

" Why would your husband lock you in here?" T-Dog asked. Sage's eyes were locked on Daryl's.

" He's not my husband." She said softly. Daryl frowned as she swallowed hard. " I remember you." She whispered. His stomach dropped.

" What do you remember?" Rick asked.

" Everything. I remember the outbreak, how I came here, what Mike has done, and I remember," She paused as tears came to her eyes. " you." Daryl's mouth went tight. There was so much he wanted to say to her but nothing was coming out. " Did you come for me?" She asked. He nodded.

" Somthin didn't set right with his story." He said.

" I hate being called Sweetheart." She said. He nodded again. " I didn't know him before the outbreak. I don't have a kid with him."

" Look, I'm glad you got your memory back and all but we need to figure out what's going on here and how to get you out of there." Shane said. Sage reached her hand towards Daryl who took it right away.

" His office is two stories up. He keeps the key to the cell in his desk but I'm not sure where." She said.

" He been hurtin you?" Daryl asked. Sage nodded slowly. " That's how he knew bout your tattoo." She nodded again and Daryl tighten his hold on her without thinking. " He ain't gonna touch you again."

" Look, we are going to get you out of here then figure out what's going on." Rick said.

" You gonna be just fine." Daryl said. The girl behind Sage shifted, pulling his eyes to her. " Who's that?'

" Her name is Sammie. They found her on a supply run once." Sage said. Sammie slowly came forward until she was behind Sage. She took a hold of Sage's shirt.

" They been at her too?" Daryl asked as the girl rested her head against Sage's back. Sage nodded but didn't speak. Daryl frowned and narrowed his eyes.

" Just get us out of here, please. But be careful, they will shoot you if they see you." Sage said. Daryl's nod was sharp and he started to pull his hand away. Sage quickly tighten her hold on him. She pulled him closer to her. " Don't leave me here." Daryl's hand went into through the bar to the back of her neck. He leaned his head down so both their foreheads were resting against the bars. He stared hard into her eyes.

" I ain't letting you get away from me again." He said. She took a hold of his wrist.

" I'm still in love with you." She whispered. Daryl closed his eyes and nodded.

" We need to go and look for this key." Rick said softly. Daryl sighed and opened his eyes. He pulled away and looked at her. His hand moved to her cheek. He touched it lightly.

" It's gonna be fine. Everythin is gonna be just fine." He said.

" I believe you." She said. They looked at each other for a few more seconds. His eyes searching hers.

" I didn't cheat on you. I shouldn't have let you drive away that day." He said.

" Go and get the key. We will talk later." Sage said.
