A few days later, Cody was training the new recruits hard - teaching them all about hand to hand combat, and Rosita taught them about shooting.

He smiled walking with Glenn watching Rosita teach them, one of them missed the target and shot off early instead of waiting for Rosita to tell them to shoot. Cody pushed Glenn down to protect him and before he could lay down fast enough, he took two bullets in the bicep . "Shit!" Cody hollered holding his arm on the ground.

Maggie and Rosita came running over after Rosita told them to drop their weapons. Glenn was helping Cody sit up. Rosita ran over and slid on the ground landing next to Cody. She ripped the sleeve off his shirt and looked at his wound. " No exit wound." She frowned, as she applied pressure on top with Glenn.

"Lets get him to the infirmary." Maggie said worried. She helped them get Cody up.

"Crap." Cody groaned as he got up and taken into the infirmary. Denise died and they didn't have a doctor. He laid on the table.

"Where's rick?" Rosita asked looking at Glenn.

"I haven't seen him all morning." Glenn said keeping the pressure on the wound.

"Get a damn knife and dig it out, or else I'm going to do it." Cody groaned.

Maggie, Glenn and Rosita looked at each other and frowned.

"Now." Cody groaned. " I can't train people if my arm has lead in it." He said looking at the tray of tools. "Hand me the damn knife Glenn."

Maggie frowned. "No. I….I'll do it." She said grabbing the tools she needed. "Denise told me how to remove a bullet.." She said looking at Cody. Rosita was grabbing iodine. "Dump it on his arm." Maggie said sitting down pulling a flashlight out of her pocket. "Rosita, hold it." She looked at Glenn. "You're going to have to hold him down."

Glenn nodded and did what she said. Rosita held the flashlight and straddled him.

"Forget the pain med." Cody groaned. "Just get it done. I can pop something later."

Maggie sighed and started digging the first slugh out. Cody took his freehand and dug his fingernails into the table as he gripped on it, and clenched his jaw tight.

Maggie kept digging, she was having a hard time getting it out. "I'm going to have to cut it open more." She said grabbing the scalpel.

Cody nodded. "Just do it." He groaned.

Maggie made two slits and cut the wound open bigger, and dug in deeper, finally getting the first one out after a little while.

Cody grunted out in pain as she dug the first one out, and relaxed slightly when she got it out. "Shit." He sighed. "Keep going."

Maggie put the slug on the table, and started digging around for the second one. She thought she was going to get sick seeing all the blood pour out of her cousins arms. "Shit." she said digging more. Cody actually hollered out in pain, as Rick walked in, Maggie was hitting bone, that the bullet was sitting next to.

Rick came over and saw Maggie was shaking. He moved the chair back. "Maggie.. Let me take over." He said trying to remove the instruments from her hand. She nodded and handed it over, and walked to the sink and threw up. She was shaking.

Rick looked down at Codys arm. "Hey kid."

"Hey." He groaned and sighed.

Rick took over digging and getting it out. "You pushed Glenn down?"

Cody nodded keeping his eyes shut. He could feel Rosita shaking as she held him down.

"Gosh you would take a bullet for him."

"Well.. He is my family. I'd take a bullet for anyone." He groaned out in pain. "Shit!"

"Almost…..Got it." Rick frowned and felt it slip from the surgical tweezers. "Damn it." He growled, and tried again. "Come on" He said digging more, and got it on the third try.

Cody let out a loud groan and slammed his head on the table. "Shit."

"Got. it." Rick laughed. "Shit. Kid really had bad aim." He laid the second slug on the tray and started stitching him shut.

"Shit." Cody groaned feeling Rosita lay her head on his chest, he felt her shake. He put his good arm aroud her. "Shh….I'm alright."

Maggie was still calming down over in the corner and Glenn held her close.

"Thanks.. Rick.." Cody smiled weakly.

"Anytime kid." He smiled and wrapped his arm up. "Lets take a break for a few days until you are feeling better." He grabbed some pain medication and gave some to Cody.

"Sounds good to me." Cody sighed and laughed slightly. He held Rosita close and kissed her head. "I'm okay...I'm okay." He promised.
