Chapter 28-Resting
It's been three months since the fall of the farm. The group had been moving around for the past few months. It was getting cold outside. Daryl was driving at the front in the truck with T-dog Alicia Jim and Hershel. Shane was with Lori and Jo with Maggie and Beth. T-dog was directing Daryl to a lodge where the group could stay for a few days and go into town to resupply. "Turn here," T-dog tells Daryl, who turns onto the road that leads to the lodge. "So T-dog, how do you know about this place?" Hershel asks T-dog.
"My parents brought me up here when I was younger. We need a place to stay. To rest for a few days, not just one night, this seems like a good place," T-dog tells Hershel as they drive towards the cabin. Daryl sees the lodge.
"This it?" Daryl asks. T-dog nods. The lodge was a few miles from a small neighborhood. Daryl drives to the back of the lodge and parks so nobody can see them. Daryl turns off the truck and gets out. The rest of the groups turns off their cars. Daryl steps out of the truck. Everybody gets out of there cars and gathers by the Rv.
"T-dog told me there should be enough rooms here for everybody. If this place is safe, we'll be able to stay here for a few days. Travis Shane Jane and Merle search the lobby and make sure it is clear. Once we know it is, we'll move our supplies in, and then everybody will clear a room," Daryl says to the group who nods. Shane walks to the door with Jane Travis and Merle he pushes the door open and walks in. Shane pulls out and flashlight and knife.
"Merle Travis, check the lobby. Jane, me and you will check the kitchen," Shane tells Jane, who nods as they walk away. Shane opens the door to the kitchen and sees two walkers. Shane looks at Jane and nods to the one on the left Jane nods and moves towards the walker. Shane walks over to the other walker and stabs it in the head as Jane kills the other. Shane walks over to the pantry and opens the door. The pantry had some food left enough to feed to the group for a few nights. "We're good on food," Shane tells Jane, who nods. Shane and Jane start to drag the walker's out. They drag them out to the lobby. Merle and Travis walk over to them.
"Anything?" Jane asks them.
"Nope. The keys are behind the counter just in case the rooms are locked," Travis tells them. They drag the walker's out front and puts them by the wall.
"Come on, let's go back to the group," Merle says. The four of them walk towards the back of the lodge. "We clear," Merle tells Daryl as they walk up to the group.
"The pantry has enough food for a few nights," Jane tells Daryl, who nods.
"Ok, Let's move some extra food and water in the lobby. Take a bag of whatever you need clothes and your weapons inside, then we'll decide what to do next," Daryl says to the group who nods as they start to unload the cars and take supplies inside. Once all the supplies were inside, everybody gathered in the lobby.
"It took us almost all day to get here so we'll all get a room in then we'll make dinner and sleep tomorrow a two group's will head into town to grab some supplies," Shane says to the group who nods as they start to spread out around the lodge. Daryl opens the door to a room. Alicia was behind him with their bags. The room had white walls, a dresser, a queen-sized bed, and a bathroom.
"This is going to be nice," Alicia says as she sets down their bags, which had some clothes and an extra knife and gun in each.
"After what we have had to sleep in during these last few weeks this," Daryl says to his girlfriend as he walks to the bathroom. Daryl turns on the shower and puts his hand under it. "Jesus, that's cold. This place probably has a generator somewhere," Daryl says to Alicia, who nods.
"Go look, I'm gonna go help the kids, and Lori get settled in," Alicia says to Daryl, who nods as he leaves the room. Alicia leaves the room about a minute later. Alicia walks in the lobby and sees Amy Lori Morgan Lee and Carol with the kids. "Hey, Why haven't you guys found a room?" Alicia asks as she came up.
"We're trying to decide if the kids should share a room together or share with us," Lee tells them.
"Are you worried something could happen to them?" Alicia asks the parents.
"We're always worried," Carol tells them.
"Look if you worried why don't you let them have their own room together Lori and Amy can be on one side Morgan and Carol on the other and Lee on either side, so the kids are in the middle just in case something happens," Alicia suggested to the parents.
"Please, mom," Carl says to his mother, who looks at him for a second before she nods.
"Lee Carol Morgan, that ok with you?" Lori asks the others who nod.
"Okay, fine, grab your bags. Let's go find some rooms," Lori says. The kids cheer before they grab their bags and race off their parents behind them. "You coming, Alicia?" Lori asks.
"No, I'm going to go find Nick and my mom," Alicia tells Lori, who nods as she goes to catch up with the others.
Daryl walks through the lodge until he finds the door to the basement. He was about to open the door when Chris Jim and Victor came over. "Daryl, what are you doing?" Jim asks.
"Going downstairs to look for a generator," Daryl tells the two men who nod.
"Not alone, we'll come with you," Chris says to Daryl, who nods. Daryl pulls out his knife and flashlight he opens the door. "You know who's got the other radio?" Daryl asks the men. About a week ago, they had stopped for supplies and found a five radio's Daryl, and Shane always had one, as well as three other people who had them, would change.
"Glenn Alicia and Dale," Victor tells Daryl, who nods as he starts going downstairs. The basement was pitch dark. The only light being Daryl and Jim's flashlight. They were walking through the basement when they heard a snarl. A walker runs into Daryl, making him drop his flashlight. Another comes out and attack's the other three men. Daryl holds the walker off him. He uses his other hand to grab the flashlight and hit the walker in the side of the head. Daryl gets on top of the walker and starts to beat it's head in with the bottom of the flashlight. Once he's sure the walker is dead, he flashes the flashlight at the other three me. He sees the walker on the ground with Chris's knife in its head.
"You guys, ok?" Daryl asks them they nod as Chris grabs his knife.
"Come on. The generator should be close," Daryl tells the as he gets up.
Upstairs, Dale was in the lobby sitting down and reading a book he had found on a shelf in his room. "You find some new books?" Hershel asks as he came over.
"Yeah, it was in my room. I bet there is some kind of library around here," Dale says to the other man. Hershel sits down in the other chair.
"How did you survive so long out here and not lose your humanity, your mind's?" Hershel asks Dale, who looks up from his book.
"We have all lost something during this. A loved one a home whatever it is. Some people, after losing that thing or person, are alone. Being alone in this will drive you to madness. The reason we didn't lose or humanity or our minds is because we had each other to keep each other grounded keep each other sane. John only had Rick, and he had lost his brother at the quarry. John loved Alicia, but he couldn't have her because she was with Daryl. That and losing, James drove. John mad," Dale tells Hershel, who nods.
"You want to go find that Library?" Hershel asks Dale, who looks up at him and smiles.
"Let's go," Dale says as he stands up and starts to walk through the lodge.
Alicia was walking through the lodge when the lights above them came on. She grabs her radio. "I'm assuming you found the radio," Alicia says into the radio.
"Yeah, we found it. There was a gas can down here that should last till tomorrow. If we want to keep it on, we'll have to use our own," Daryl tells Alicia.
"Ok, I'll see you when you get up here. Love you," Alicia says to the radio.
"Love you too," Daryl says.
Nick was in a room with a queen-sized bed when there was a knock on the door. Nick walks over to the door, and open's it. Beth was standing on the other side of the door with her bag. "Hey, I thought you were staying in a room by your sister," Nick says to Beth.
"I was, but then Glenn and Maggie started to have sex. These walls are not very thick," Beth tells Nick. Nick laughs and opens his door wider for Beth to come in. Beth walks through the door. Beth drops her bag on the ground and walks over to the bed.
"Glad you're not next to your sister," Beth tells Nick, who laughs as he sits down.
"Yeah, it's nice. You can stay here if your dad is ok with it," Nick tells Beth, who nods and smiles. She kissed Nick on the cheek before she leaves to find her dad.
It was dark when Lori Carol and Madison finished dinner. Everybody sits down in the lobby. "So, how are we doing the run tomorrow?" Charlie asks.
"Well, Shane and I will lead the two groups," Daryl tells Charlie. T-dog and Glenn look at each before Glenn speaks.
"You and Shane should stay," Glenn tells the two leaders.
"Why?" Shane asks.
"Look, you and Daryl need a break you guys barely sleep. Let us lead the groups you two should stay back and rest," T-dog tells Shane and Daryl.
"Fine, We'll stay behind," Shane says to Glenn, who nods.
"Glenn and T-dog will lead the run groups tomorrow. There will be six people in each group. Glenn will take a group to grab any guns ammo or gas they can find. I would like Charlie Madison Maggie Victor and Ofelia to go with Glenn. You guys ok with that?" Daryl asks them. They nod.
"T-dog's group will look for food and medicine and any winter clothes. We want Daniel Lee Chris Travis and Adam to go with T-dog. You guys ok with that?" Shane asks them they nod.
"One more group will check out the houses about a mile from the lodge. Merle will lead that group. We want Bobby Jim Nick Beth and Jane to go with Merle. You guys ok with that?" Daryl asks them they nod as they eat.
"The rest of us will stay here and make sure this place is safe. Check the rest of the room," Daryl tells everybody who nods.
Daryl and Alicia had taken showers. Alicia comes out of the bathroom after brushing her teeth. Alicia sees Daryl just looking at the wall. "Hey, you ok?" Alicia asks Daryl.
"Yeah, just worried about what could happen tomorrow," Daryl tells his girlfriend.
"There are going to be fine," Alicia tells her boyfriend. Daryl nods and smiles, Alicia kisses his girlfriend. Daryl picks up his girlfriend and pulls off her shirt as he lays her down on the bed. Alicia pulls off his shirt as he unclips her bra, and she unbuttons his pants. Daryl does the same to hers. "You sure?" Daryl asks his girlfriend, who nods with a smile. Daryl kisses his girlfriend.
