KEZZ 1: Here's the next one!

Kaiya's Watergarden: Thanks for loving it!

pyrojack25: Whipped big time lol. That game was so bad but I like the added back story for Daryl. I completely forgot what episode this was I just remember it was season two, like mid way maybe? Not completely sure.

Glenn was chopping wood when he spotted Lori. He knew by the look on her face that Dale had told her that he told the old man. "I'm sorry. I'm- It just came out. And it was Dale."

Lori raised her hand to stop Glenn from rambling. "It's okay. I never should have put you in that position. I've been thinking about what you said about needing help. And you're right that I do."

Glenn nodded. "Name it. Yeah."

"If you're still willin' to make a run into town for me…"

"I'm your man." He answered quickly. He was happy to hear that Lori was asking for help with the baby, her words filled him with hope.

"Thank you." She hugged him.

"It's okay." He patted her back softly as they hugged. "It's not a big deal really."

She walks away and he goes around camp to see if anyone needed anything from the town, as to not seem suspicious.

He walked up towards Miri and Alice's tent and tapped on the tent.

"Come in!" as soon as he pushed the tent door open he was greeted by Miri's smile. She was holding a book in her hand as Ali was on her sleeping bag with Burnie in her arms. "Hey Glenn."

"Uh," he still felt nervous around the Australian, since he used to keep a poster of her in his room back at his crappy apartment. He still had moments of being star struck. "Hey Miri, I just wanted to know if you two needed anything from the town."

"Oh, well if it's not too much trouble can you please bring back some children allergy." Glenn looked to the little girl on the sleeping bag when he heard some raspy breathing and a small cough. Alice was rubbing her eye when Miri stopped her. "No baby, don't rub it."

Glenn felt bad for seeing the normally energetic girl sick. "I promise I'll bring some back."

"You shouldn't promise Glenn, you don't know if there still is some." She patted his arm and gave him a small smile. "Just try the best you can."

Glenn nodded and left towards the Daryl's tent nervously. He tapped the tent which made Daryl jump awake at the sound. Glenn goes over to the window to see Daryl looking around with one of his shirts on his head.

"What the fuck you doin', china man!"

Glenn ignored his words as he looked at the shirt. "Why are you covering your face?"

"So people like you wouldn't see me sleep!" Daryl spat.

"Then why didn't you just cover the window?"

Daryl glared at Glenn. "What are you doin' over here? What do you want?"

"Well I'm going into town to get the camp some things and I was wondering what you wanted from the town."

Daryl thinks about it. "Smokes." He'd been itching for some since Merle stole his last pack before he went to Atlanta.

"Alright, that's it?" Daryl glare made him raise his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay. I'll leave." Glenn walked towards Maggie, reciting the list of things he needed to get and hoping the farm girl wasn't too angry to hit him.

Birds were chirping as Shane and Andrea drove to a housing community, where a lead on Sophia was.

They stepped out of the car and looked around the quiet community.

"We're gonna have to go house to house." Shane whispered to Andrea as they walked around, not wanting to alert any walkers. "We'll start at the far end and we'll work our way back."

Andrea looked around. The place looked empty and was quiet. "If Sophia got this far, she has a real shot, don't you think?"

Shane didn't say anything as he gave her a look. They walked over to a house and kicked the door in, their guns raised just in case.

"Sophia?" Andrea called out. "Anyone?" the house was dark, dusty, and quiet. "Sophia?"

They noticed a hole in the wall. "They walled off the hallway?" Andrea looked at Shane confused.

Shane tensed his jaw. "They tried to make a stand here." He knew by the looks of the house, they never had a chance.

They both crawled through the hole.

Shane turns the corner and see a pile of dead walker bodies on the ground. Shane thought maybe he was wrong, maybe they fought their way out and were surviving out there.

"Sophia?" Andrea called out.

They walked down some steps and Shane kicked the table that was blocking the door out of the way. What he saw made him stop.

Flies buzzed around the burned remains… seems like they didn't get out after all.

"She was never here, was she?" Andrea asked Shane as he stared at the burnt body of a woman with her mouth open in a scream. "I don't know how to tell Carol this was another dead end."

Walkers snarling snapped Shane back into survival mode. He looked under the slightly opened garage door and saw a group of walkers coming toward them. "Come on, let's move." He pulled Andrea out of there.

Once outside, they saw walkers surrounding the car. "Cover that street." He ordered Andrea. "I'll clear the car."

As Andrea is shooting a female walker heading her way, missing her head, when her gun locks. Cold fear grew in her stomach as the walker came closer, jaws snapping in anticipation. "Oh shit." Her gun jammed.

Shane sees what happened and shoots the walker. He covers her as she tried to fix her gun as fast as possible. "Focus now. Clear the jam. Focus." Once he sees that Andre has fixed the jam, he lowers his gun.

"Are you kidding me?" Andrea can taste the acid at the back of her throat from fear as she stared wide eyed at Shane.

"Come on. I got your back. Go." He reassured her.

A walker snarls as he comes closer to Andrea. She shoots him in the head just in time. That makes her snap into it, time seeming to slow down for her as she shoots 4 walkers in the head, perfectly.

"Andrea, Andrea, let's go." Shane called out to her as he ran to the car. "Come on."

She ran over but stops as she spots another walker coming their way, she raises her gun and aims.

"Andrea, come on."

She shoots one last walker before jumping into the car.

The ride was quiet when Andrea suddenly reached over and grabbed Shane's groin. She rubbed it as she threw him a wink, the adrenaline was pumping and it seemed there was only one way to get rid of all that energy.

Shane grinned and stopped the car. He leaned back as he threw her a grin he knew the ladies swooned for. "Come on then." He grabbed the back of her head and pulled her over to him. "Get over here. Get over here."

He buried his head into her hair, imagining Andrea to be someone else, another blonde. The horn honks as Andrea struggles a bit to take her pants off and climb onto Shane.

He slides into her, groaning as he bites down on her shoulder to stop from being loud and to stop any misspoken words to escape from his mouth during the moment.

Maggie stomped toward Lori as Glenn tried to get to her before Maggie attacked Lori for endangering both of them. "Hey! We got your stuff."

"Maggie, hang on, please." He pleaded but Maggie ignored him.

Lori looked around, nervous because she didn't anyone to hear what Maggie was nearly yelling about. "Come on in here." She motioned to the tent, not wanting the others to see what she asked for.

"Why? Nothing to hide. We got your special delivery right here." She opened the paper bag with all the stuff inside. "We got your lotion, got your conditioner, your allergy pills, your soap opera digest." She threw all the items onto the ground as she glared at Lori.

"Maggie." Glenn tried to stop her but Maggie stepped closer to Lori.

"Next time you want something, get it your damn self. We're not your errand boys."

Lori was shocked. "Honey, I—"

Maggie reached into the bag and threw something onto the ground. "And here's your abortion pills." She spat. She stomped away and Glenn followed her, ready to tell her off for what happened.

"That was not cool." He told her once he caught up with her by Otis' grave.

"Which part?" she snapped. "The part where that bitch almost got us killed?"

Glenn shook his head as he sighed. "I should've gone alone. If you want to blame anybody, blame me."

"Right, take the blame." Maggie shook her head. "You know, for a smart guy, you're really stupid."

Glenn blinked, confused. "Okay, I'm confused, because I think you just paid me a compliment, but you made it s—" He was cut off by Maggie's lips.

She pulled away but stayed close to his face. "I've already lost three of the people that I care about most in this world."

Glenn opened and closed his mouth until he finally found his voice. "Maggie—"

"Shut up." Glenn shut his mouth. "You're smart. You're brave. You're a leader. But you don't know it. And your friends don't want to know it. They'd rather have you fetching peaches. There's a dead guy in the well? Send Glenn down. You're walker bait. I can't take you becoming one of them." She walked away as Glenn took in her words.

He walked back to the camp and picked up the allergy pills for Alice from the ground.

He made his way toward Miri, who was sitting outside the tent cleaning her arrows. "Hey Miri," she looked up as Glenn handed her the packet of allergy pills. "I was able to find some. Its grape flavor and they're chewable."

Miri smiled and took the box. "Thank you so much." She noticed some blood on the sleeve that wasn't there before. Her smile dropped. "What happened?" she pointed to the blood.

"Uh," he looks at the blood before looking back at Miri. He wonders if he should tell Miri about Lori's decision for aborting the baby, to see if she can change Lori's mind, he decides not to. "Maggie got attacked at the town, put down the walker."

Miri quickly stood up with a worried look. "Are you two okay? None of you got bit or scratched?"

Glenn shakes his head. "We're both fine." He pauses. "Hey, you're a girl right?"

Miri raised her eyebrow with a small grin at his question.

He realized what he said and stumbles over his words. "I meant—you understand women because you're one, and—and I need help." He took a deep breath and went to ask when Miri beat him to it.

"With Maggie?"

Glenn looked at her shocked. "How…?"

"Well, you've been looking at her with puppy in love eyes and you get adorably nervous around her." Glenn blushes as Miri chuckles. "And that whole passing notes at the table didn't go unnoticed." She gave him a wink which made him even redder.

"We had sex." He blurted out. "Twice." His voice cracked.

Miri was wide eyed now. "Whoa. Well congrats mate, you got laid at the end of the world." She smirked. "That's better than most of us." She jokes.

"And she kissed me, before I came here." Glenn took off his hat and started to wring it in his hands. "I really need a woman's help on this." He looks at Miri. "I need to know if you think she really likes me or she's using me to get rid of the itch." Glenn spots the confused smile on Miri's face and leans in to whisper. "You know, the itch."

Miri gets it. "Ah, now I understand. Hm." She contemplates. "Did she say anything to make you think she doesn't like you?"

"Well, I offered her sex one time and told her we had 11 condoms left, and she just told me that she sees that as 11 minutes of her life wasted." He frowned.

"Wow, that was harsh." Miri frowned. "But she kissed you before you came here."

"Now you see why I'm confused." Glenn sighed as he threw his head back.

"I can't help you, mate." She gave him a hug. "Maybe you should go relax for a bit to get your mind sorted."

Glenn liked that idea, he needed to relax. "Thanks for listening."

He waves goodbye to Miri as he makes his way to Daryl's tent. He just taps on the tent. "Hey Daryl, I couldn't find any smokes for you. Sorry."

He leaves before Daryl can say anything to him, the adrenaline now completely gone. He was a bit tired now.

The next morning, everyone was eating breakfast around the camp.

Glenn looked around the camp before looking back at the house where Maggie was. She shook her head no, knowing what he wanted to do.

He looked over the camp. Everyone was relaxed, so blind to the danger that was hiding in the barn. His eyes came onto Dale, who nodded.

He nodded and stood up, walking towards the camp fire. "Um, guys." He called out for everyone's attention. "So…" he scratched his face nervously as all eyes were on him. "The barn is full of walkers."

Everyone stopped and stared at Glenn shocked.

Everyone walked over towards the barn, where moaning and snarling are coming from.

Shane peeped into the crack of the door of the barn and pulled his eyes away as a walker came into view. He walked toward the rest of the group angrily. "You cannot tell me you're all right with this." He told Rick.

"No I'm not, but we're guests here. This isn't our land."

"This is our lives!"

"Lower your voice." Glenn tried to calm them both down.

Andrea shook her head. "We can't just sweep this under the rug."

Their voices were bringing walkers closer to the doors, banging against it.

"It ain't right. Not remotely." Shane started to plan. "Okay, we've either got to go in there, we've got to make things right or we've just got to go. Now we have been talkin' about Fort Benning for a long time."

Rick shook his head. "We can't go."

"Why, Rick? Why?" Shane glared at Rick.

"Because my daughter is still out there." Carol glared at Shane for wanting to leave without finding her baby.

Shane rubbed his face. "Okay. Okay, I think it's time that we all start to just consider the other possibility."

"We're not leavin' Sophia behind." Rick dropped Shane's idea.

Daryl stepped forward, angry. "We're close to findin' this girl. Hell, Aussie and I just found her damn doll two days ago."

"You just found her doll." Shane chuckled, annoying Miri. "That's what you did. You found a doll."

"What the fuck did you find then?" Miri crossed her arms. Both she and Daryl were nearly killed in the forest for that doll. "Because you're talking as if we didn't find anything in that forest."

"I'm just sayin' what needs to be said, Miri."

"No, you're just being a giant arse." She stepped forward. "You're talking down to us when we're the ones that actually found something that proved Sophia's alive. What the hell did you find?"

"I'm just sayin', you get a good lead, it's in the first 48 hours."

"Shane, stop." Rick tried to get in between Shane and Miri, as Shane continued to shout.

"Let me tell you somethin' else, if she was alive out there and saw ya two comin' all methed out with your buck knifes and geek ears around his neck," he pointed to Daryl. "She would run in the other direction."

Miri tried to get around Rick to start attacking Shane but was held back by Daryl, who caught her in time.

Everyone started to yell.

Rick pushed Shane off of him the same time Lori tried to move him away. "Back off!"

Shane ripped his arm from Lori's grasp. "Keep your hands off me." He spat, then walked away.

"Now just let me talk to Hershel." Rick stopped Shane. "Let me figure it out."

"What are you gonna figure out?!"

"If we're gonna stay, if we're gonna clear this barn, I have to talk him into it. This is his land." Rick told Shane as Dale came up to Rick.

"Hershel sees those things in there as people—sick people—his wife, his stepson." Everyone looked at Dale shocked, he knew.

"You knew?"

Dale nodded to Rick's question. "Yesterday I talked to Hershel."

"And you waited the night?" Shane tightened his jaw.

"I thought we could survive one more night. We did." Dale spat at Shane. He turned back to Rick, his tone no longer harsh. "I was waiting till this morning to say something. But Glenn wanted to be the one."

"The man is crazy, Rick," Shane pointed to the barn as he continued to yell. "If Hershel thinks those things are alive or no."

Shane's shouts caused the walkers in the barn to start banging against the door even harder. The chains rattled as the walkers kept growling.

Daryl, who was still holding onto Miri moved her back to where Alice was. He kept her behind him as everyone watched the doors move.

Carol was picking stuff up around the camp fire when she noticed Daryl making his way toward the stables. She panics and runs over to Miri, who was sitting with Alice, both of them drawing in a notebook together.

"Miri!" Carol's voice made Miri jump. "You need—you need to stop Daryl."

"What?" Miri tilted her head. "Stop him from what?"

"I saw him heading toward the stables." Carol wet her lips. "I think he's goin' after Sophia. Alone."

Miri cursed under her breath and stood up. "Can you-?" she pointed to Alice and Carol understood.

"I got it."

Miri thanked her as she ran over to the stables, nearly tripping over some small rocks.

Daryl grunts as he places the saddle down, the motion tugging on his stitches. 'Fuckin' heavy ass thing.'

"Where do you think you're going?" Miri asked him as she walked into the stables, looking from saddle to him, taking note of his harsh breathing.

Daryl nearly groaned, seeing the blonde that crossed his mind standing there. "I'm fine."

"Hershel said you need to heal."

"Yeah, I don't care." He mumbled.

"Well, I do." Miri placed her hands on her hips. "Rick's going out later to follow the trail."

"Yeah well, I ain't gonna sit around and do nothin'."

"No, you're gonna go out there and get yourself hurt even worse. I won't be there to help you when you get more hurt."

Daryl, angered at her words as he thought she was calling him weak, storms over to Miri and gets in her face. The tension between them grows as they feel each other breath softly on each other.

"I'm not weak." He mutters under his breath.

"I never said you were."

Daryl remembers T-Dog's words as he looks down at Miri. 'Just throw her against the wall and start kissin' her.' T-Dog's voice fills his head. 'Chances are she'll kiss you back, and if she doesn't, at least you tried. You gotta do somethin', it's the end of the world. You gotta live a little.'

Daryl weighed his chances on her kissing him back.

He scanned her face. She doesn't look scared or angry like how she was when she stood in front of Shane, she just looks confused as to why Daryl is standing so close to her now after he was so angry.

Daryl sighed. "Fuck it." He moved his face closer to her till their lips touched. He felt Miri gasp as he moved her back until her back hit one of the horse's stable doors and pulled her closer by her ass.

Miri, coming out of the shock of Daryl throwing her back and attacking her in a kiss, melting into it and dug her nails at the back of his head. Daryl bit down on her bottom lip softly in response.

None of them noticed Carol poking her head in and smiling gleefully before running toward T-Dog and Alice, where she tells them the plan has worked.

Daryl and Miri pull away from the kiss. "I have a reason." He starts, his voice low and gruff. "On why I kissed you."

"What?"

"I just took a chance, I didn't know if you were gonna respond back so I just took it."

Miri stares at him. "Was that your knife?" Daryl looks at her confused, wondering why was she asking that. "Was that your knife poking me when you were on top of me the day in the forest?"

Daryl looked uncomfortable as he realizes that she had felt him that day. 'Crap'

Miri smirked, knowing that wasn't his knife. She punched him softly in the arm. "That was for calling me a dog." She pulls him back into a kiss before he can say anything else.

After they pull apart, Daryl is a bit dazed as Miri is smirking. "You should go back to the tent. We'll go look for Sophia when we're both in better shape.

"I'm fine." He grumbles but flinches away as Miri pokes his side where the wound was.

She smirks, knowing she was right. "Come on." she gives him a peck on his lips. "Let's go back to camp."

They walk back to camp, not noticing the 2 smiling faces that watched as their plan worked out, nor the one that was shooting dark looks at them both as he stood by Andrea.

Shane.
