"So Tyreese and his group came through here?" Glenn asked as he pointed to a chalk map he drew on the ground.

Airianna shrugged her shoulders, "I think so, I wasn't in the best state when they found me."

"There were more walkers than usual," Carl added.

Glenn sighed, "Means there's another breach. Okay, the whole front of the prison is unsecure. If walkers just strolled in, then it's gonna be cake for a group of armed men."

"Why are we even so sure he's going to attack?" Beth asked. "Maybe you scared him off."

"He had fish tanks full of heads," Everyone in the room turned their heads towards Michonne. "Walkers and humans. Trophies. He's coming."

"We should hit him now," Glenn suggested.

Airi quirked her brow, "What?"

"He won't be expecting it," He explained. "We'll sneak back in and put a bullet in his head."

"We're not assassins," Sophia stated.

Glenn ignored the girl and faced Michonne, "You know where his apartment is. You and I could end this tonight," He frowned when she sighed and looked away. "I'll do it myself."

"You'll just be starting something we can't finish," Airianna insisted. "The man has a whole town. You kill him and the people will want their pound of flesh. Besides, it sounds like he isn't the only loose cannon in that group."

"He didn't know you were coming last time," Hershel chimed in. "And look what happened. You were almost killed. Daryl was captured. And you and Maggie were almost executed."

Glenn glared at the older man, "You can't stop me."

"I can," The female doctor hissed. "All I have to do is pop your knee cap out and you're down for the count until you pull yourself back together."

"You would permanently damage my leg?" Glenn sarcastically asked.

"Easy to fix, just slip it back in," Airi elaborated. "If you have the skills. You try it yourself and you'll be pretty much screwed."

"Now, now," Hershel hopped between the two. "Rick would never allow this."

"You really think he's in any position to make that choice?"

The Greene man sighed, "Think this through clearly. T-Dog lost his life here. Lori, too. The men that were here. We almost lost Sophia and Airianna as well. It isn't worth any more killing. What are we waiting for? If he's really on his way, we should be out of here by now."

"And go where?" Glenn snapped.

"We lived on the road all winter," Herschel replied.

The Korean man scoffed, "Back when you had two legs and we didn't have a baby crying for walkers every four hours."

"We can't stay here," Herschel continued to press.

"We can't run," Maggie sighed and walked away from her family's arguing. "Alright, we'll stay put." Glenn gave in as he watched his girlfriend storm away, "We're gonna defend this place. We're making a stand."

Airianna nodded and leaned back against the wall, "I can get on board with that, pizza boy."

Glenn smirked, "Carl you and I will go down to the tombs. We need to figure out where the breach is."

The boy nodded his head, "You got it."

"You'll need some help," Michonne muttered.

"No," Glenn denied. "In case anything happens, I need you out here." He paused in his instructions as he glanced at the group members, "Who's on watch?" When no one replied he scoffed and stood up, storming away.

The mother sighed as she waved down Michonne and Axel, "I gotta go wash some clothes. Come with me to keep Glenn's panties out of a knot."

The two shrugged their shoulders and followed the redhead as she scooped up the box of dirty clothes the group had collected for her early in the morning. Beth offered to clean them but Airi wanted to do something since she was of little use to the fortification Glenn and Rick wanted to do to the prison, her leg injury preventing her from heavy lifting.

Axel helped her carry the box outside and with Michonne's help, they flipped some of the bleachers in the courtyard over to make a ducking wall in case they needed to hide from any gunfire. She sat next to the turned seating as she started to clean the pieces of fabric, waving of Michonne as she awkwardly stood there. Axel remained and helped her hang the wet clothes on the bleachers so they could dry properly.

The doctor distracted herself by observing her group members wandering around. Maggie was outside with Beth and little Judith, talking quietly with each other while Rick was on the fenced walkway placing pallets to add more cover...At least he was earlier when she first came outside.

Now he somehow got outside the fence to the creek, standing by himself. She eyed him as she washed the pile of clothes and sighed in relief as Hershel came out to the courtyard to check on his daughters.

She motioned to their leader outside the gates, "Can you go check on him?"

He nodded, "Think he's alright?"

"Not at all."

The older man sighed and crutched his way to the grassy area, smiling when he passed the bus and Michonne. The African American woman nodded to the older man as he crutched passed her. She seemed more relaxed around the two doctors, perhaps because they were the ones who spoke with her the most. But the redhead had noted how she tensed whenever she came around with Eren. Every time the woman looked at the brunette boy her face became stoic and hard. Airi guessed she once had her own child in some form, a sibling...a son.

She couldn't blame Michonne's aversion to Eren, even if the boy was woefully smitten with the new woman. Hell, he liked anyone new if they were at least somewhat friendly, a trait she knew he definitely got from her.

No way Daryl was ever that trusting of anybody new, except her.

She wrung out the final pair of pants and passed them to Axel to hang up, "How's your leg doing?"

She glanced at the blonde man, "Better, I guess." She leaned over and rubbed the stitched holes under her jeans. "Still hurts like a bitch."

"Do you think people will really be shooting at us?" He asked.

Airi sighed, "Maybe, I hope not."

"Guns scared the bejesus out of me," He muttered. "I robbed a gas station with a toy gun, never even took it out of my pocket."

She snorted, "You said Oscar was the thief. That you were in here for pharmaceuticals."

"Well, I didn't want y'all to think I was a violent man," He shamefully explained. "If you follow me."

"So what are you saying? You were in here for a toy gun?"

He shook his head as he wandered around the yard with her, "No, listen to this. The next day the cops found me at my brother's house. Still had the water pistol in my pocket. I swore up and down that it was the only weapon I had, but they said they didn't believe anyone could be so stupid and get away with it. So they turned my brother's house upside down and found his .38. Said it 'matched the description.'"

She nodded her head, "And that's how you got armed robbery?"

"Yeah," He lifted up the handgun Glenn had given him earlier. "To tell the truth I don't even know how to use this."

Airi grabbed the gun from his hand and unlatched the magazine, "Good for you it's fully loaded," She pointed to a small switch on the side of it. "That's the safety. You have to pull it back so you can fire." She reassembled the gun and passed it back to Axel.

He smirked, "You're quite a lady."

"Yes I am," She agreed. "A married one."

Axel sputtered at her comment and waved his hands, "I mean no disrespect, you're just stronger than other women I've met in my life."

"Wasn't always this way," She muttered. "I was a mess when I was a kid, shy and bullied. Daryl stood up for me at school and I stood up for him at home. Then my dad passed and my mom just sorta floated, like she was lost. I had to mature real quick. Studied harder, skipped a few grades, graduated early, and I pulled away from my friends, pushed Daryl away when he needed my help."

"Doesn't sound like you had a choice," Axel replied.

"Doesn't feel that way," She admitted. "And Merle started dragging him into shit, stirring up trouble around town. But when I caught Daryl going along with Merle's drug business, I begged him to stop. Said if he didn't straighten himself out I would never speak to him again."

"I'm guessing he did?"

"Not for a while. He finally started changing when he and Merle got caught dealing some sort of shit," She paused in their pacing as she recalled the memory. "I was eighteen and halfway through college when I got the call from him. He said I was his one phone call and reluctantly asked for my help, apologized for his stupidity." She leaned against the fence, "I hauled ass from Atlanta to come home."

Axel leaned on the fence next to her, "Did you bail him out?"

She laughed, "Hell no, I let the asshole sweat. But when his and Merle's trial came he was let off with probation due to an 'upstanding member of the community' vouching for his moral character," Airianna crossed her arms and shrugged. "Merle got two years and Daryl left with me. We started dating again and got married after I finished med school."

"Sounds like you did right by him," Axel muttered. "I'm sorry he left."

She shrugged her shoulders and pushed off the fence starting to wander back over to the drying clothes, "He'll be back, eventually. Merle always sidetracks him from what's important for only a little bit."

Axel joined her in taking down the dried clothing off of the bleachers, "Sounds like a complicated family."

"Family always is," She agreed as they took off the rest of the dried clothes and carried them back inside. The pair passed the clean clothing to Sophia and wandered back outside to collect the rest of the laundry. The two worked in silence as they folded the rest of the hanging clothes waving to Glenn as he wandered by.

Airianna let her eyes follow the Korean man as he ignored her and stormed towards one of the cars, "Glenn, Glenn!" The man paused at her voice. "You're not going back to Woodbury, are you?"

He glanced away from her as she walked towards him, "No. I'm just going out there."

"I'll go with you," She offered.

"I got it."

"By yourself?" He paused at her words. "How can you possibly think that's a good idea?"

Glenn groaned, "I can't just sit on my hands."

"You went on a simple formula run and got the crap beat out of you," She observed. "And Maggie was attacked."

"Are you saying this is my fault?" Glenn asked.

"No."

"I did what I could!" He snapped.

"I know you did. We all know that," She admitted. "But this rage will get you killed. Rick is already off the deep end." She motioned behind them and Glenn turned to see Rick outside the fence sharing his own conversation through it with Hershel on the other side, "Well with Daryl gone and Rick wandering Crazytown, I'm the next in charge."

She scoffed, "Did this suddenly become a dicks only party?"

"You're injured," Glenn hissed.

"So are you!" She snapped back. "I'm starting to think that one person in charge is complete bullshit if that person is not one hundred percent there, and let me tell you: you are not. What are you trying to prove?"

He ignored her question and hopped in the truck, staring the ignition so he could go on his scouting trip. Airi scoffed but relented her pushing, going back to Axel's side as she watched Glenn drive off alone.

She glanced at Hershel and Rick from the corner of her eye and huffed, "Shit."

"Go on," She turned at Sophia's voice. "Eren and I can help Axel finish the clothes."

"Of course you can," She ruffled the girl's hair and kissed her toddler's chubby cheek. "I'll be back in a minute."

She walked out of the courtyard, waxing to Carl as he opened the gate for her. She nodded to Michonne, who was watching the other gates at the entrance, before heading in the direction Hershel and Rick were. She slowed her walking as she came up to Hershel and glanced at Rick through the fence.

"How's he doing?"

Hershel shook his head, "Not well, Don't think he's noticed that it's me he's talking to."

She quirked her brows, "Who does he think you are?"

"Shane I'm guessing," The older man muttered as they both watch Rick pace through the chain metal.

"Rick! Rick!" The leader paused as Airianna called out to him. He finally looked over at the two doctors with slightly blurry eyes and shuffled closer to the fence. "What's going on?"

He glanced away from her and Hershel sighed, "You know I wouldn't have hobbled all the way down here if it wasn't important. Are you coming back soon?"

"Glenn's on a warpath," Airi added. "Smart as he is, he can't fill your boots."

"We're afraid he's reckless," Herschel continued. "We need you now more than ever."

"Well, if you're so worried about him, you both lead," Rick muttered as he tried to brush them off.

"What are you doing out here?" Airianna asked as she tried to follow his rapid gaze.

"I've...I've been...I've got...stuff out here," She stammered out. "Stuff."

"How much longer do you need?" Herschel questioned.

Rick shrugged, "I don't know. I don't…"

Airianna stepped closer to the fence, "Is there anything we can help you with?"

Rick paused, "I saw something."

"Lori?" Rick nodded at the redhead's guess.

"Yeah, I saw Lori...I'm seeing Lori...Look, I know it's not really her. But there's got to be a reason. It's got to mean something, you know." The two group members nodded at his rambling.

"Was it her on the phone?"Hershel asked. Airi furrowed her brows at his question but brushed it off.

"Yeah…Shane too," He gripped the chains of the fence. "And the town."

Airi reached her hand to touch Rick's through the fence, "Do you see them now?"

He shook his head, "You're looking for them," Hershel stated.

"I'm waiting," Rick agreed.

"For what?"

He looked away, "I don't know. Something. There's an answer. I know it doesn't make sense. Well, it does, it can make sense. I mean, I think in time it will make sense."

"Rick?" He focused on the woman still holding his hand through the fence. "Come on in. You need to rest. It's not safe out here alone."

"I can't. I can't," He denied as he turned to head back to the woods.

Airianna and Hershel sighed as they watched their leader walk away before they turned and slowly made their way back to the courtyard. The older man hobbled along and Airi kept herself close to him in case he stumbled on the uneven ground. They both were halfway through the field when Airi glanced at the courtyard and waved at Sophia and Eren. The girl waved back as she stood next to Axel, and the mother beamed at the two children together.

Airi paused in her movement when a gunshot sounded and Axel fell to the ground with a bullet in his head. Sophia screamed and fell to the ground and Airi tried to run after her but stumbled when she felt a searing pain in her side.

She gasped at the pool of blood pouring from the left side of her stomach and felt hands press into her side to add pressure to the wound. She sobbed in pain, but Hershel shushed her and he pushed himself and her into the tall grass to hide from the shooters. Gunshots rained in the air as the two hid in the grass, praying nobody else in the group was injured. They both jerked to the side when a bullet hit the ground close to Hershel's arm, and Airi grunted as her torso wound throbbed. The two started to inch through the grass as the rest of their group started to fire back at the attackers, hoping to offer cover for the people stuck outside the courtyard.

She glanced up when the shooting stopped, but froze when she saw a truck heading in their direction and cringed when it tore through the fence. She grabbed Hershel tightly and rolled them both over to avoid the truck's path, groaning as she felt more blood pouring out of her body at the movement.

"You have to stop moving," Herschel hissed.

"Kinda in a predicament right now," She bit back as they watched the truck come to a stop a few feet away from them.

The driver of the truck hopped out in full body armor and started to shoot at them as he moved to the back of the vehicle. He pulled on a lever and the doors on the back of the truck swung open, revealing a mass of walkers lurking within. The two tried to scramble away from the threat, but the driver continued to fire at them, leaving them trapped in a field now inhabited by walkers.

"Hershel, Airi! Get the hell out of there!" The two heard Rick's yelling over more gunshots and started to make their way around the swarm of walkers, towards where Michonne had taken refuge by the bus.

The pair tried to keep quiet to avoid the walkers, but the scent of Airianna's blood drew the corpses their way, "Hershel you need to go."

"I'm not leaving you," The man whispered back as he took out his gun and fired on the monsters.

A sword cut through a walker coming up on their side and Airi nodded to Michonne as she leaned down to help them, "Take Hershel."

"No," The man denied as he continued to shot at the incoming walkers, "She's injured."

"I can walk, you can't," She pointed out. Glenn's truck pulled up and Michonne started to help Hershel into the back as Airi took out her knife and attacked a walker crawling towards her. She held in her cry of pain as Michonne returned and helped her to her feet. The two limped towards the truck but paused at a walker in their way.

Michonne paused as she tried to grab her sword without letting go of the paling woman next to her when an arrow pierced its way through the thing's skull. The female pair shot their heads behind the and the redhead beamed at the sight of her husband standing next to Rick and Merle on the other side of the fence.

Glenn hopped out and helped the two into the car before jumping into the driver's seat and rushing them back to the courtyard. He and Michonne carried Airianna out of the car, trying to keep the pressure on her wound as Hershel rushed inside to get the medical bag.

"Knew he'd be back, just wasn't expecting to get fucking shot," She muttered at her friend.

Glenn gave her a weak smile, "Lucky it went straight through."

"Guess I'm just full of luck."
