They needed to save Nicole before it was to late.

What a stupid idea it was to send Chips over with the food...didn't they know Andy wasn't strong enough to fight back those things if they got in.

Part of her wanted to grab Nicole and scream in her face the minute they brought her back. Scream that she could have killed someone and how dumb it was to risk her own like for a dog.

But she had to remind herself Nicole was still just a child...and something as simple as an old dog...brought back the feelings of hope and love she lost when her father died weeks ago.

They planed out almost in a hysterical rush how they could get over there before Andy would bust down the closet door.

CJ found under ground tunnels that lead from the wall to all under the city...they followed the lines until they found the space they needed to go.

Kenneth, Michael, Steve, Tucker, CJ, and Terry would all be going to rescue Nicole and try and get as much ammo as they needed before heading back to the mall.

Everyone felt this was wrong...and knew they were risking their life's. But they had to...they had to somehow show there was still good left in the world to save.

Before heading down the stairwell, Ana took Michael aside and pressed him against one of the walls.

She couldn't stop shaking and her insides were throbbing.

She was scared for him.

He looked at her with deep concern in his dark eyes as she tried to touch him but she couldn't keep her hands still.

Michael then grabbed her hand and pressed it towards him and then brought his lips towards her and opened her mouth.

He kissed her deeply and then when it broke he looked her right in the eye.

"Ana?"

"Yeah..." She couldn't even spit out the right words.

"When I get back...I want you to answer a question for me okay?"

Ana shook her head as he held her hand tighter.

"I wanted to know if you would like to be my wife."

The words sunk right into her heart.

"What?"

Michael then smiled and kissed her again.

"Remember...I want an answer when I get back."

Ana couldn't believe what she had heard.

He then smiled and just then the others yelled for him to go.

He kissed her on the cheek and told her to stay with the others.

He then broke away from her grip and started down the stairs...before going down half a flight she yelled for him to stop and he looked up.

Their eyes locked again.

"Tell my husband he better watch his as out there okay?" Ana gave a nervous smile and never before had she seen such a look of happiness in his eyes.

He looked at her for another second...then they called him and he disspeared from her sight.

As she heard their footsteps rush down the stairs she closed her eyes and prayed to God he would keep him safe.
