"What the hell is this mess?" Merle said looking at walker parts on the ground. It was two arms, two legs and a torso.
"She did this."
"It means something, the way it's all set up like that." Merle said.
"The Governor was right to send us out."
"Damn straight, Tim. We're doing all right, just public service here.
"Go back." A kid in the back said.
"What?"
"The arms are a G. The legs make an O. And that's a back. It says, "Go back.""
"This is too good." Merle laughed. "Look at this. She sent us a biter-gram, y'all."
"I don't believe this is happening." The kid said.
"Hey, hey! You knock it off." Merle said grabbing the kid's shirt. "What the hell's wrong with you? Now, the Governor chose you 'cause he thought you were ready. I want you to succeed. I do. But if you keep announcing to the world that you're pissing your pants, I'm gonna have to smash your teeth in. Now how do you say your last name?"
"Gargulio."
"Well, I'm gonna keep calling you Neil. All right?" Merle turned around and spotted Michonne far away. "What's the deal, Michonne? Hmm? You gonna leap out of the woods, one against four, all of us armed to the teeth and you with just your little pig-sticker?No, no, no, Michonne." Suddenly she jumped down from a tree and chopped off one guy's head before stabbing Tim. Merle shot at her but hit Tim. She ran away but a bullet grazed her leg. He chased after her. He stopped and looked around. "We having fun yet?!"
"Hello? Is- is someone there?" A woman said.
"Yes. is-?" Rick asked.
"Oh, my God!I can't believe someone picked 've been calling since- since it all started.""Where are you?"
"I can't say."
"You could be 1,000 miles away."
"I'm not going to say where we are."
"Are you-are you someplace safe?"
" part of it is because we're careful.I can't tell you where we are.I'm sorry."
"What ma- what makes your place so safe?"
"It's just...away... from them. "
"I have a son." Rick said. "I- I have a newborn baby. I'm with a good group of people. Would you be willing- could you take in others? We can pull our weight. We can help you."
"I'd have to talk to the group."
"Well, put them on. Let me make a case."
"Let me talk to them first."
"Please, please, don't- don't go. Just- please, we're good people here. We just need some help and... we can help, we—"
"I'll call you in two hours."
"Please! You don't don't know. We're dying. We're dying here." The line hung up.
The group in the prison sat at a table, eating. Daryl sat on the steps with Kira sitting a step below, between his legs, and Oscar was standing next to them.
"Everybody okay?" Rick asked walking into the area everyone else was in. He had changed his clothes and wasn't cover in blood anymore.
"Yeah, we are."
"What about you?" Hershel asked.
"I cleared out the boiler block."
"How many were there?" Daryl asked.
"I don't know. A dozen, two dozen. I have to get back. Just wanted to check on Carl."
"Rick, we can handle taking out the bodies." Glenn said "You don't have to."
"No, I do. Everyone have a gun and a knife?
"Yeah. We're running low on ammo, though." Daryl said.
"Maggie, Kira, and me were planning on making a run this afternoon." Glenn said. "Found a phone book with some places we can hit, look for bullets and formula."
"We cleared out the generator room." Daryl said. "Axel's there trying to fix it in case of emergency. We're gonna sweep the lower levels as well."
"Good, good."
"Rick." Hershel called but Rick left. Daryl leaned down to put his lips by Kira's ear.
"You wanna help me keep watch in the tower?" She looked up at him and, seeing his smirk, blushed. She nodded. The two got up and everyone looked at them. "We're gunna go on look out for a bit." Daryl said and left the room Kira following behind. They left the prison and went outside. Kira looked up at the bright blue sky. She suddenly got an idea and smirked. She moved closer to Daryl and quickly slapped his ass.
"Race ya!" She said running past him. He blinked but started running after her. She laughed looking back and saw Daryl had a large smirk on his face.
"I'm gunna get you for that." She ran faster and got inside the tower. She ran up the stairs and stopped at the top. She turned around and almost let out a squeak when she saw Daryl right there but he silenced her with a kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist. They made out for a few moments before pulling each-other's shirts off. Daryl slid his hands down her sides and gripped her hips, pulling her against him. He leaned down and started kissing her neck. She slid her hands down his chest and tugged at his pants. He pulled them down, along with his boxers, before pulled her pants and panties down. She gasped as he pushed her against the wall, the metal and glass was cold, and started kissing up and down her neck.
"Dare, I'm tired of getting pushed against rough things." She whined. He chuckled and grabbed their clothes before putting them in a pile. He picked her up and laid her on top of it.
"Better?"
"Thank you." He smirked and kissed her. He grabbed the condom from his pants pocket and slipped it on. Without hesitation he pushed in. Kira gasped loudly. He chuckled.
"I see you missed it as much as I did." He said.
"Don't talk." She whined. "Just fuck me." He leaned down to her ear.
"Thought you liked when I talked?" He asked before licking the shell of her ear. He started to pump in and out quickly. He grunted. "Damn girl. Three months has made you so tight." He groaned. He continued to pump in and out fast and hard, whispering dirty things in her ear. "I got an idea." He picked her up, still in her, and turned them so he was on his back. She blushed. "Don't worry I'll help ya." He said taking hold of her hips and trusting upwards. She gasped and started to ride him, her face burning. He groaned and suddenly pulled her down so she was lying on top of him. He kissed her as he started to buck his hips rapidly. She gasped into his mouth and gripped his shoulders, digging her nails in, making him grunt. Suddenly she was on her back again. "Never mind, I'd rather drill you this way." She blushed and let out a moan as he continued to pound into her.
"Let's go. She's hit." Merle said to Neil. "Slowed her down."
"Tim and Crowley, they—" Neil said, shaking.
"We're close to the red zone. Them shots just pulled every biter in this area our way. Let's go. Get up. Neil!" He kicked him down and put a foot on his chest. " Now you're gonna rise to the occasion, son. Some serious shit's going down. I need you here. You read me, amigo? I don't want you to die."
"Yes. Yes."
"Get up. Now you know, we don't ever let our own turn. Never." He said and stabbed Tim in the face. "Come on. Just do it." Neil stabbed Crowley "Atta boy. Come on, let's get going. She ain't running, she's hunting. So are we. There we go.
"You know you can join in." The Governor said to Andrea who was watching some kids play. "They don't bite. That's kind of the whole idea of the place."
"Seems like you also encourage people to punch each other in the face. The arena."
"You didn't like that much, huh?"
"No, not so much, but I get it. Listen, I want to ask you something.
"No."
"Okay." She said and walked away.
"Hold on. How do you get it?" He asked.
"I'm not gonna tell you how to run your town." She said.
"This is our town. You stayed. You're part of this now, so tell me." She stopped and face him.
"If it's an escape, I don't think it's the right one. It's brutality for fun and I think the world's brutal enough already."
"It really bothered you, huh?"
"But I do want to be here."
"So what were you saying before I made you condemn our sadistic way of life?"
"I want to contribute. Everyone else does."
"Well, Robbie could use some help in food distr-"
"I want to work the wall. I'm a good shot. I want to stay that way.
"Can you use a bow? I can learn. Had a friend who used a bow. Saw her use it a few times."
"Well, I can get somebody to teach you."
Rick sat by the phone waiting for it to ring. When it did he answered it right away.
"Hello? Hello?
"You the guy she was talking to?"
"Yes."
"And you want to come where we are?"
"She said it was safe."
"It is. No attacks, no one's been bit,no one's died,no one's turned, no one's gone crazy."
"Yes, we want to come where you are."
"You could be dangerous. Have you killed anyone? Yes, people who threatened me or threatened my group."
"How many people have you killed?" Rick took a breath.
"Four. Two outsiders who tried to draw on me. One-One threw me to walkers. The other one, he was one of our own. He lost it."
"Lost what?
"Who he was. He threatened me. He tried to kill me, so I killed him."
"How did you lose your wife?" Rick frowned.
"How do you know I had a wife?"
"You have a boy and a me how you lost your wife."
"I don't- I don't want to talk about that." Rick said. The line cut. "Hello? Hello? No!" He kicked the table before putting the phone down.
Daryl and Kira were panting. He rolled off to the side of her onto his back.
"I wish we had more condoms." She whined. He chuckled. She blushed and looked over at him. He leaned up on one arm.
"You're goin' on a run with Glenn and Maggie, don't stop until you find some." She chuckled.
"Alright." He reached over with his other hand and brushed her hair out of her face. He smirked and moved over to kiss her. "Come on, we should get back. Otherwise everyone will know why we really came out here."
"I'm pretty sure they already do." He said. She gave him a confused look. "Yer pretty loud sometimes." She blushed and looked away.
"I was not that loud." He smirked.
"I'm surprised they didn't come out to see if you were dyin."
"I wasn't that loud." He chuckled and kissed her.
"Hey, the louder ya scream means I'm doin it right." She rolled her eyes and straddled him.
"You always do it right." He smirked smugly. She leaned down and kissed him. He slid a hand into her hair.
"Round two?" He asked against her lips. She chuckled.
"We gotta get back." He groaned.
"Fine." She got off him and grabbed her clothes. Suddenly he slapped her ass. She let out a yelp and turned to look at him, a bright blush on her face. "That's for earlier." He smirked.
"Thanks for doing this." Andrea said to Haley
"When the Gov asks me to do something, I do it. I figure we can start tomorrow. There's a training area, some hay bales. There's even a bow you can use. It was my old one."
"You must be pretty good."
"Yeah. My dad taught me. He used to take me hunting. He wanted me to be in the Olympics. This one was his. I mean, it's worth more than my car. It's... awesome. So I totally killed him for it."
"That wasn't why you killed him."
"No. My dad wasn't himself and my brother wasn't either."
"I had to kill my sister."
"It sucks, right?"
"Yeah. Andrea looked and saw a walker. "Walker."
"Cool. Watch this." She shot and missed. She tried again and missed.
"I got it." Andrea said.
"I can do it." Andrea jumped down. "We're not supposed to go over the wall." Andrea went over and knocked it down before stabbing it. "What the hell was that?"
"That is how it's done."
"I said I could do it. What is wrong with you? This isn't a game."
Rick was pacing, he heard a noise and looked to see Hershel.
"May I?" He asked. Rick pulled over a chair for him. He got in and sat down. "Still feel it. I'm wiggling my toes right now." He chuckled. "I'm a ghost from the knee down."
"I'm sorry."
"You saved my life, Rick. She was sorry for the things that happened. She told me that. She planned on telling you. Take your time, whatever you need. You carried us. You didn't let us give up. You got us here."
"It's not enough. It's not safe enough."
"There isn't anywhere else. I know you want to get away from this, but we've run already."
"I got a call." Rick said.
"What?"
"Someone called. On this phone." He moved the phone near him. "A woman. She was young. She was part of a group. She said they had a safe place." Hershel picked up the phone. "They said they were just dialing numbers and I picked up. She said they'd be calling back. If it sounds right, I want to talk them into taking us in."
"Did she say where they were?"
"No, but it doesn't matter. If it's safe, we'll get there. Don't tell the rest of the group, not yet."
"I'll sit here with you. That's something I'm pretty good at nowadays."
"No." Hershel nodded and got up.
"All right."
Merle and Neil were going through the woods. Suddenly Michonne was behind them and slashed at Neil. Merle pushed him out of the way. He used his knife to swing her katana away. She got on the ground and kicked him between the legs. He fell on her and rolled off. Suddenly walkers were on them. Michonne grabbed her katana and slashed at a walker, cutting its stomach and letting its contents spill out onto her. Neil killed the walker attacking Merle. He looked around to see Michonne gone.
Daryl, Carl and Oscar were walking around the prison.
"Check it out, man." Oscar said. "Must have missed it last night."
"It's probably just one or two of 'em. Don't look they got much fight. They ain't going nowhere. We'll take care of it on the way back." Daryl whistled "Come on… You know, my mom, she liked her wine." He said to Carl. "She liked to smoke in bed. Virginia Slims. I was playing out with the kids in the neighborhood. I could do that with Merle gone. They had bikes, I didn't. We heard sirens getting louder. They jumped on their bikes, ran after it, you know, hoping to see something worth seeing. I ran after them, but I couldn't keep up. I ran around a corner and saw my friends looking at me. Hell, I saw everybody looking at me. Fire trucks everywhere. People from the neighborhood. It was my house they were there for. It was my mom in bed burnt down to nothing. That was the hard part." He glanced at Carl. "You know, she was just gone. Erased. Nothing left of her. People said it was better that way. I don't know. Just made it seem like it wasn't real, you know?"
"I shot my mom." Carl said. "She was out. Hadn't turned yet. I ended it. It was real… Sorry about your mom."
"I'm sorry about yours." He put hand on his shoulder. "Come on."
The Governor was at his desk, drawing lines in his notebook, when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." Andrea walked into the room and closed the door behind her.
"I know why you want to see me." She said.
"You were told we don't go over unless we have to."
"I just... I wanted a little practice."
"Fair enough. We don't need you on the wall."
"Okay." She turned around. "I liked the fights. I didn't like that I liked them." She turned back around.
"But you did. I know." She gave him a look.
"What? How?"
"Could have walked out. You started walking out. But you stayed. Just like you stayed right now to tell me that."
"Are you saying that I like you, too?"
"I think I'm growing on you."
"You rose to the occasion, kid." Merle said to Neil. "When we get back, I'm gonna get you a beer."
"Come on, she can't have made it that far."
"No, no, no, no. We're done. We're gonna grab a car, haul ass home. It's been a good day's work."
"But she- she killed Tim and Crowley." Merle picked up a pistol.
"Yep, but we messed her up pretty bad. Anyway, she's headed straight for the red zone. She's as good as dead."
"What do we tell the governor?"
"What the hell you think we tell him? Tell him we killed her. Like I said, man, she's as good as dead."
"I'm gonna keep going." Neil said.
"She ain't right in the head. She gonna die. Ain't worth our time. Definitely ain't worth our blood. Now let's go." Merle walked past him.
"This is some serious shit. That's what you said." Merle stopped. "I'm not gonna lie to the Governor about it." Merle turned to him.
"You're right. Can't cut corners on this one. You've come along pretty quick there, kid. How do you say your name again?"
"Gargulio."
"Gargulio. Hear that bird?" Neil looked then Merle shot him in the head. He picked up Neil's pistol. "Gargulio." He repeated walking away.
Michonne got her things together and started to limb away when four walkers were in front of her. She started to pull out her katana but they walked right past her because she smelled like the dead from a walker's stomach spilling on her. She watched them walk away then looked down at herself.
The phone rang and Rick answered immediately.
"Hello?"
"You didn't want to tell him how your wife died?" A different woman said.
"No, I just lost her, but... But if that's what it takes..."
"It'd be should talk about it, Rick."
"That sounds- How- how do you know my name?" He asked. The line cut off. He put the phone down.
Michonne limped around a building. She ducked behind a car when she heard one coming. Glenn, Kira and Maggie got out.
"Clear outside." She said.
"All right, let's take a look."
"Hey." She kissed him. "It's a beautiful day." Glenn grabbed the bolt cutters and opened the building. Birds flew out scaring them both. Glenn went in.
"Glenn, get that duck." She said.
"What?"
"Get that duck." He laughed.
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah. A kid growing up in a prison could use some toys."
"You were the kind of guy who waxed his car every weekend, right?" Andrea asked.
"No, I wasn't particularly proud of my car or my house or my job." The Governor said. "My dog was a wonder of stupidity. Lost a fight with a tree once.
"You did this." She raised a glass. "I find it hard to believe that you didn't have a single thing that you were proud of before."
"I didn't say that. I had something." He looked to her. "So how long has it been? Uh, since- since you had whiskey this good?"
"So long I can't remember."
"Well, I'm happy to forget a lot. Not just the bad stuff."
"Even the good times?"
"I want to be here right now. This glass in my hand, leaves in the breeze, talking to you."
"I feel special. An audience with the governor."
"Ugh. Let's just go with Philip, huh? I'm off the clock."
"Oh, Philip. That's better. Makes me feel less like a lobbyist."
"You don't have to be ashamed about liking the fight. Or fighting the fight." She looked down. "I love it. It's not the only thing, but nowadays, it's part of being alive. Really alive. Most people don't have it, what it takes to see the whole story. Being able to live with it, to use it. That's why there's a hell of a lot more of them than us."
"Us."
"Yeah. 'Cause you have it, Andrea. You made it. So enjoy it. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.
"Oh, I'm not planning on dying."
"No, neither am I. It just happens."
"Other things happen." The Governor leaned down and kissed her.
"We just hit the powdered formula jackpot." Glenn said.
"Oh, thank God." Maggie said.
"Wha'cha else you get?" Kira said noticing more than just baby food.
"I also got beans, batteries, cocktail wieners, many mustards. It's a straight shot back to the prison from here. Probably make it in time for dinner." He said.
"I'm gunna double check for anything we could make into weapons." Kira said going inside.
"Hadn't thought of that." Glenn said as she went inside. She didn't wanna tell them she was gunna look for condoms, although they could probably use them too.
"I like the quiet. Back there, back home, you can always hear them outside the fence no matter where you are." Maggie said.
"And where is it y'all good people are calling home?" Merle called pointing a gun at them. They pointed their guns at him. Kira heard Merle's voice and her eyes widened. She peeked outside to see him. His right hand got and replaced by a metal sleeve with a bayonet on the end.
"Merle?" Glenn asked.
"Ha Wow!" Merle put down his gun down and walked over.
"Hey, back the hell up!" Maggie yelled.
"Okay, okay, honey. Jesus."
"You made it." Glenn said. Maggie looked at him.
"Can you tell me, is my brother alive? Huh?"
"Yeah."
"Hey, you take me to him and I'll call it even on everything that happened up there in Atlanta. No hard feelings." He noticed Glenn looking at the bayonet attached to his arm. "Huh? You like that? Yeah. Well, I found myself a medical supply warehouse. Fixed it up myself. Well, pretty cool, huh?"
"We'll tell Daryl you're here and he'll come out to meet you."
"Hold on. Just hold up."
"Whoa. Whoa." Glenn said as Merle came closer.
"Hold up here. Hold up. Hey, the fact that we found each other is a miracle. Come on, now. You can trust me."
"You trust us." Glenn said. "You stay here." Suddenly Merle took out his other gun and shot at Glenn who moved just in time for it to hit the back window of the car. Kira quickly headed around the back of the car when she saw Merle go for Maggie.
"No!" Glenn ran around and saw Merle on the ground holding a gun to Maggie's head. "Hey, hey, hold up, buddy, hold up."
"Let go of her. Let go of her!"
"Put it in the car, son." Glenn put his gun in the car. "There you go. Now-" He cut off as Kira put her gun to the back of his head. He frowned and glared at Glenn. "Show yer face ta me." Kira walked around, keeping the gun at his head. As soon as she was next to him he swung his arm out and knocked her down. She let out a yelp and her gun skidded across the ground away from her. Merle put his knife to Maggie's throat and put the gun against Kira's back. She looked at him. He saw her face and looked slightly surprised but smirked. "Hey baby, didn't know you were still alive too." He looked at Glenn. "Now we're gonna go for a little drive."
"We're not going back to our camp." Glenn said.
"No, we're going somewhere else." Merle said. "Get in the car, Glenn! You're driving! Move!"
"Don't." Glenn said staring at the knife at Maggie's neck. "Okay." Glenn got in the driver's seat.
"Get up." Maggie and Kira got up slowly. "That's it." He walked both of them around and made Maggie get in the passenger's seat while he and Kira were in the back. This time Merle pointed his gun at the back of Maggie's head and had his knife at Kira's throat. He made her sit between his legs. She swallowed when he put his lips by her ear. "Ya miss me, babe?" She gritted her teeth. Merle looked at Glenn who was looking at the two in the mirror. "Drive!"
"Oh, that's what I'm talking about." Oscar said going into a room. Daryl and Carl looked back. "Yeah, buddy."
"What the hell you need slippers for?" Daryl asked seeing that Oscar was holding slippers.
"You know, end of the day, relaxing." There was a walker in the hall. They all turned around and shot it.
"All right."
"Must have been in the cell at the end." Oscar said. "We checked everywhere else." Daryl got down and pulled out a knife that was in the walker's face.
"That's Carol's knife." He cleaned it off on the walker's shirt.
The phone rang and Rick looked at it before walking over and answering it.
"How did you know my name?"
"Because we know you."
"How do you know me?"
"And you know them Rick The people you were talking to today, that was Amy, Jim, Jacqui."
"Lori?" He asked. "Lori? Lori? Lori?"
"What happened, Rick? Baby, what happened?" He started crying.
"I loved you. I loved you." He sighed. "I couldn't put it back together. I couldn't put it back together. I thought it was... I made a deal with myself. I would keep you alive. I'd find a place. I would fix that. And then... I couldn't open that door. I couldn't risk it. I was gonna keep you alive. Carl, the baby. And then... I thought there'd be time. There's never time. But I loved you. I love- I love you. I couldn't put it back together. I should have said it. I should- I should have said it."
"Rick. Now you listen to me. You have a baby. Our baby. And Carl. And the others. I love you. Rick. Can you do that? Can you do that? Rick? Rick? Rick? Rick? Rick?" The signal started messing up and he took the phone from his ear. He got up and put the phone on the receiver.
Merle knocked on The Governor's door.
"Company?" He asked when The Governor didn't let him in and saw he was in a robe. He walked into the hall and closed the door.
"Yeah."
"We lost all three guys. Tim, Crowley, the other one."
"Gargulio. Jesus."
"Yeah, she cut Tim down, put her sword through him. Then biters got in the middle of it, then I got her."
"Damn. Well, we'll dress it up. Give 'em a hero's funeral. You tell a story. A supply run gone sideways. Do you have 'em?" Merle looked at him. "Her head. The sword."
"Um, we got caught in a crowd. The kid had the head, Crowley had the sword. They both got all tore up. I got something else for you, though. A guy I used to know from the Atlanta camp, his pretty little girlfriend and another girl ma brother found."
"They know Andrea?"
"Mm-hmm."
"Anyone else?"
"Don't know. Found them on the return trip. From the looks of 'em, they got to be set up pretty good. I'll find out where." He said. The Governor nodded and Merle walked away.
Beth was cooking, Carl sat next to her, Hershel was at the table holding the baby. Rick walked into the room. He walked over to Hershel and looked at the baby. She started crying. He picked her up. He smiled and held her to him. He kissed the top of her head.
Daryl was sitting in the hallway stabbing Carol's knife at the floor. A nearby door kept opening slightly but stopped when it hit a walker body. Daryl got up and kicked it. He paced a bit before opening the door, ready to attack. He froze when he saw Carol sitting on the floor. She looked up at him. He picked her up and carried her back to the cell blocks.
Rick, Beth, Carl, and Hershel walked outside.
"Hey. She looks like you." Rick said to Carl. "Hey, just- you got her?" He said handing her to Carl.
"Yeah."
"Okay." Rick walked down into the field and looked to see some walkers but then Michonne holding the red basket of baby things Glenn, Kira, and Maggie had left at the store. She limped forward. He stared at her not understanding who she was and how she was alive around the walkers.
Originally I didn't have Kira with Glenn and Maggie but I wanted to change it. Posting my AMV now, it's still loading. How does everyone feel about Kira going with Glenn and Maggie and getting captured?
I find it so ironic that Rick said "no one's gone crazy"
