Beth had said they were all good people, and to Rick , that was enough. But there were procedures that needed following now. Stephanie made sure he knew exactly what needed to be done when something like this happened.

So he had collected them all into a large conference room, and provided them what he was sure seemed like a feast. He remembered the hunger that accompanied being on the road for so long. While they ate, he gave them the same spiel that Stephanie had given them not too long ago. He told them about the Unit, the ins and outs, and discussed briefly what would be expected of them while they were there.

Then, when their stomachs were full, he told them about the cure, and they rejoiced amongst themselves. Once the celebrations quieted, he passed out the mental stability questionnaires for their records, and for placement within the Unit.

When the last person finished, he relinquished them all into the capable hands of Carol, who had agreed to come and bring them to the community closet for fresh sets of clothes, and show them to their rooms.

One man, however, lingered behind.

"Excuse me, Mr. President," he said gruffly to Rick. The man was younger, but years on the road had made him look way older then his years. A full beard occupied his face, and Rick could see that he favored his right leg over his left as he walked toward him.

"Yes, Sir. How can I help you?," Rick said as he shuffled the stack of papers into a folder.

"I was wonderin' how I could go about seeing if my wife is here. You see, I'm from Washington originally, but a couple years ago I was attacked on the outskirts of town, and… long story short, I ended up a couple hundred miles away."

"What's your name, son?," Rick asked sympathetically, knowing that there was a million in one chance that his wife was there.

"Ian. My wife's name is Stephanie. Stephanie Malone. Do you know her?"

A/N: Heehee. Had to throw that little tid bit in there. I am definitely going to continue on with this story, in Part 2. I made a kick ass cover for it and everything. Might be a few days until I can get the first chapter up. But here's what you have to look forward to in Part 2. Richonne wedding, anyone? And of course, obviously, we're going to get some Bethyl action. (Even if No Bethyl Please doesn't approve. Thank you, guest, btw, for sticking up for me. ;) Of course, we will see all of our beloved TWD characters. It will flow kind of like this one, except our main focus will be on Daryl, instead of Rick, this time around. We will also see what happens with Stephanie, Vincent and Ian. What did you guys think of that btw… Do you like Stephanie enough yet to care that her dead husband isn't so dead after all? LoL.

I also want to say a brief shout out to all the people who regularly review and view my story. I look forward to watching the numbers jump every day. Of course, every guest that reviews is appreciated. Thank you guys. And then there's these people : Alex311, Ajax, DarylDixon'sLover, KyannaLashae, literaturechick, Kam, Blkpunk311, Deni73, and codedriver who have read the story from start to finish, review faithfully and inspire me to write more. If I didn't mention you, it doesn't mean I don't appreciate you. I honestly love every review that I receive, even the bad ones, because they really do make me want to write more and more. ;) XOXO Keep a look out for Unit 15. Part 2. I'll edit this chapter to let you know when it's done

Update: I put up an a/n as the first chapter of the next installment of Unit 15. The actual first chapter will be up tonight or tomorrow morning. It's titled: Unit 15. Part Two: New Arrivals...
