Sorry its been a while for this update (2-28-16 to 3-29-16) but I have been having a bad few days...well month...well a long long time. I have been submitting for acting jobs and of course getting past over *sighs* but to top it off I had another author pass over my book idea and then my family (grandfather) has been in and out of the ER due to his back/shoulder. So...yeah...but i am back and updating, I really need this to get my mind off of all the bad and hope for some good so here we go with Chapter 4! 5 and 6 to follow within a day or two! Oh and BTW, did you see TWD Sunday (3/27/16)! I swear if Daryl dies...yeah...by season 6 my story might go in a totally different direction! I will not let him die here! NEVER! *laughs maniacally* But seriously, heartbreaking episode, really jaw dropping and scary, crossing fingers for better season finally. But here's the chapter, have fun and talk to yall later!

After Rick got finished talking with Glenn and the others he went back out to the field, planting and harvesting what he had while Hershel went to help. It was decided that the coal crew would stay, but Tyreese decided to go with them still. One of the Woodbury group's men decided to stay behind then, wanting to stick close to his two daughters anyways, so it still left the crew with seven people going including Zack who decided to take Carl's place. Carl was wanting to go but Rick asked for him to stick around and Trixie wound up asking if he would help Beth watch over the babies. Michonne had been scheduled to be back by sun high so they were gathering the rest of their stuff for the trip as they waited. Daryl was putting a few milk crates full of items for the trip in the back of the truck they would be taking while Sasha and Tyreese packed up the small four door SUV they were taking as well. Trixie was helping Daryl to put a few more things into the truck when Zack came around and smiled to them.

"Need any help?" Trixie glanced to Daryl, seeing him shrug and shook her head.

"Not here, might want to check with Tyreese and Sasha though. Or Glenn." Zack nodded, he was a young man but he was willing to help and that was what they needed now and days.

"Alright…oh Beth! Hey!" Trixie turned her head and smiled as Beth made her way over to them. Once she stopped in front of them she smiled to Zack but turned to Trixie.

"I was wondering if you minded if we put Hunter in the playpen with Judith tonight, it helps them to sleep better and Rick said it would be fine to have them both in his room." Trixie shrugged, nodding at the same time as she chuckled.

"That's fine, if we don't make it back by dark you can put him in there I don't mind." Beth nodded, giving Zack and Trixie a small smile now before she went to head off but Zack caught her arm and frowned.

"I'm going to go with them. Outside the wall ya know?" Beth smiled, nodding her head.

"I know."

"Aren't ya gonna say goodbye?" Beth chuckled then, shaking her head as she leaned in and kissed Zacks' cheek.

"No." Zack stood, a bit stunned, as Beth went to walk off before he called out to her.

"I might not make it back!" Beth paused, turning to give him another smile.

"I know." Beth continued now, smiling as Daryl passed by her and shook his head.

"Like a damn romance novel out here." Trixie sighed, giving Zack a pat on his back before walking over to Daryl at the back of the truck and wrapping her arms around his arm, tugging him to her.

"And you are the hot, sexy bad ass that all the girls fawn over babe." Daryl laughed, shaking his head before narrowing his eyes at her for a second then laughing again.

"You're crazy woman." Trixie nodded, kissing Daryl's cheek now as she moved to grab a few more things.

"Crazy about you redneck." Daryl smirked, glaring to Zack when he heard the boy laughing but once he saw the glare Daryl was giving him he shut up and went to help Glenn and Sasha pack up their car. Trixie smirked, shaking her head as she grabbed her backpack from the ground near the prison door, it had her a few things for the trip including a big list that Carol had given her, and when she picked it up she heard Glenn calling out to Rick that Michonne was coming back. Trixie glanced down the drive that they were using to get in and out of the prison and noticed Michonne riding up on the horse that they had. Turning back to the others she smiled as Tyreese, Bob and Sasha gathered into the SUV, Glenn and Zack got into the truck and Daryl brought his bike up beside her.

"Come on, wasting daylight." Trixie nodded, throwing her backpack into the SUV with Tyreese and nodding to him before jumping onto the bike with Daryl. He slid back a bit, letting her sit in front of him, before he turned and headed down to where Michonne and Rick were standing.

"Just a little while." Michonne smiled as Daryl pulled up beside her and Rick, Trixie giving them both a smile while she spread her hands out on the gas tank of the bike.

"Welcome back Michonne. Find anything?" Michonne sighed, shaking her head and frowning a bit as she glanced over the group.

"Not yet, but I will. Thinking of checking Macon out next."

"That's almost seventy miles away. You'd be facing way to many walkers Michonne."

'Not to mention a few unneighborly types." Trixie nodded in agreement with Daryl as Michonne sighed, she knew what the risks were.

"It's worth it." Daryl glanced up to her, narrowing his eyes as his bangs fell into his vison.

"Is it?" He eyed Michonne for a moment before turning to Rick and motioning to the bike and then the cars behind him. "Going to go to the big spot I was talking about. You still coming?"

"Yeah." Michonne nodded, going to jump into the truck with Glenn as Carl called out to her.

"You just got back!" Michonne smiled to the boy as she rounded the SUV's side.

"And I'll be back again." Carl frowned as Michonne got into the truck and Daryl nodded to the gate. Rick nodded back and went to open it, letting them pass as Carl waved bye. Trixie was chewing on her lip as she road with Daryl, going to the spot where they were hoping they would find a lot of things they needed. Her mind though was playing on the whole thing with Michonne. She knew she was out trying to find the Governor and Daniel, but Trixie didn't like her always being alone. But what could she do to convince her to stay otherwise? She just hoped she would always come back. Daryl slid a hand around Trixie's waist when he noticed she was quiet and not looking around like she usually was. When she jumped slightly he chuckled, leaning in to run his nose along her neck.

"You ok!" He shouted over the noise of the wind. Nodding Trixie tapped a finger to her head.

"Thinking." Daryl nodded, he knew she would tell him sooner or later. Concentrating on the way to his big spot now he soon felt her hand running over his arm that was around her and he smiled. The ride wasn't going to be as long as he thought.

They found the spot easily, Daryl remembering exactly where it was, and as they parked the bike Daryl helped Trixie off before turning to the fence with Bob. Glenn stopped the truck right in front of the gate while Tyreese pulled the SUV up beside that. Trixie glanced to the others as they got out of the vehicles while Bob scouted the cleared fence.

"So…..open." Trixie nodded to him, smiling as Daryl pointed to the fence and turned to Bob.

"Last week when we spotted this place there was a bunch of walkers behind this chain-link fence. Keeping people out like a bunch of guard dogs."

"Why is this here?"

"Best we can think is the Army came in and put them up, as a safe place for people to go or whatever." Bob nodded to Trixie as she went to check the fence. Bob followed, the others standing behind her waiting as she went to the open part.

"So they just all left?" Trixie smirked, turning her head as she nodded to the fresh and dried blood on the fence edges.

"Give a listen." Sasha was proud now, she had apparently helped come up with the idea and as everyone was quite Michonne smiled.

'You drew them out."

"Put a boom box out there three days ago."

"Hooked it up to two car batteries." Glenn smiled now, making Trixie chuckle as she drug her machete out of her boot, holding it in front of her as she ducked between the two separate fences, walking inside the safe zone.

"Alright fall in. Make a sweep." Trixie nodded to Daryl, he had followed behind her then Bob and the others as she scanned the area while she walked.

"We can bring others back out here tomorrow if we have to Daryl."

"Yeah, just grab what you can. Don't take chances." Everyone nodded, scouting the area as they looked inside the tents and watched out for the walkers that were bound to be around. Michonne rounded one of the tents, checking the backside while Daryl and Bob went through the middle. Tyreese and Sasha followed by the front as Glenn and Zack made their way over to the front of the store that was in the safe zone. Trixie met Michonne by the back tents side and smiled to her, turning to head to the store when she heard someone banging their arm on it. As she got there with Michonne she noticed the others were trying to look in while Zack stood by the door with Daryl. He had been the one of course to hit the glass at the front of the store and nodded as he glanced back to them. "Just give it a second."

"Ok I think I got it." Trixie and Michonne glanced to Zack now, confused for a moment as Daryl just glanced back to the boy.

"Got what? What he's doing?" Zack shook his head, pointing to Daryl.

"No, I know what he's doing. I think I finally got what he was before all of this happened. I've been trying to guess what he done before the turn for a while."

"Yeah, been at it for six weeks now." Trixie chuckled with Michonne as Zack sat on the window ledge next to Daryl.

"I'm pacing myself. I've been doing one shot a day." Trixie chuckled again.

"Sounds like a very slow drinker. What ya thinking today?" Daryl grinned up to her as Zack smiled.

"Well, the way you are at the prison, you being on the council, you're able to track, you're helping people, but you're still being kind of…surly."

"Understatement." Trixie and Michonne grinned to each other as Zack smiled to them and Daryl glared playfully to Trixie.

"Alright, big swing here. Homicide cop." Immediately Michonne and Trixie started laughing, making both guys glance up to them as Daryl grunted.

"What's so funny!"

"Nothing! Makes perfect sense." Daryl grinned to the girls, chuckling once as he glanced away for a moment.

"Actually the mans right. Undercover." Trixie now covered her mouth, trying not to laugh louder as Zack turned to look at Daryl.

"Wait, you mean really! I guessed it!" Trixie couldn't help it then, she busted out laughing while Michonne tried to stifle her giggles.

"I don't like to talk about it, cause it was a lot of heavy shit ya know?" Zack smiled, as if he had hit the jackpot until he glanced to Trixie and saw her shaking her head, dying in tears as Michonne just glanced off into the distance.

"Dude, no come on really? That true?" Trixie finally gave into it and patted Zack on his shoulder.

"No, you are way off." Zack glanced up to Trixie now and gaped at her, turning his gaze between her and Daryl as Daryl grinned.

"Wait! She knows! Aw no fair!"

"Hey, shes the man's girl, of course she's gonna know. Now are we gonna do this Detective or not?" Daryl grinned to Michonne, checking the glass behind him once more as Zack gripped Trixie's arm and looked up to her pleading like.

"Come on tell me."

'No way dude, I ain't spilling that to ya."

"Aww why not!"

"Where would the fun in that be?" Zack sighed as a walker hit the glass behind them, making him jump a bit before he glanced back to Daryl who was getting ready to head inside.

"Guess I'll keep guessing than." Daryl glanced back to him, nodding before glancing to the girls.

"You keep doing that."

"Alright, we go in, stay in formation for the sweep." The girls nodded to Sasha as she walked up to them all, glancing back to see everyone else was already coming to gather around as Daryl opened the store doors and the scouting expedition begun.
