Awesome chapter! :) i wonder how will Daryl and Sawyer act towards one another?

Yeah Daryl and Sawyer are both loners but we do know that Sawyer doesn't play well with others. And at the same time Daryl doesn't either, at least at this point in the show, so only time will tell.9

lol well seems we get more of that good old Sawyer charm that we all know and love him for it seems which is what we all like about him but we also know that he can be a good leader as well, some good friendships are being made it seems which is cool and that ending with Glenn and Charlie was good as well.

Side note seems Charlie is on the drugs which makes sense after all but at least we know he kicks that stuff with help.

Glad you are liking Sawyer, it's fun writing how he reacts to the serious group decisions with sarcasm. Also glad that you are liking the friendships that are starting to show up, mainly Glenn and Charlie. And yes Charlie as of now is hooked on heroin so who knows when or if he'll get off them.

Whoa another good chapter with growth as well as the group seems to be getting to know each other I wonder how long before the attack starts from what I remember of season 1 of the show Jim Amy and Ed die in that attack with nameless redshirts as well, I will say this I can see Sawyer bumping heads with Shane a lot more later on, till Shane is killed that is.

As for what you said does this mean we shall see the Others vs the Saviours as that would be something cool.

Glad you liked the chapter, now you are correct that Jim, Amy and Ed died in the attack but in my story I removed all the unnamed redshirts so it's only the named walking dead characters and the Losties. As for a Sawyer vs. Shane thing you can see that Eko and Shane don't like each other already and Shane hates Sawyer's sarcasm so yes Shane has a few extra enemies already. And for an Others Vs. Saviours war, that is a possibility but I'll admit that I don't have an exact plan for the Others yet.

whoa good chapter I really like how this is going and reading this with Glenn more so after what happened to him makes me sad I know that we shall have him for a good long while till he meets Negan and his end but they have more people this time.

But that's what I love about the two shows Ben from lost is deadly smart Negan is just crazy, so Ben would out smart Negan.

Thanks for the review, yeah it's really fun to have Glenn back again. It's also weird to be back before Glenn was almost a leader, he's so timid and just kinda a tool for the group right now. As for what will happen to Glenn, you never know maybe someone else will be Negan's pick or maybe Glenn will die because of a Losties mistake who knows. And yes Ben Vs Negan would pretty crazy because Ben would have so many mind games going on that Negan would probably be destroyed but then again Ben almost died so many times in the show I don't think Negan would just beat him up, I'm pretty sure that Negan would just kill him given the chance.


Enjoy

Merle sat on the roof on the department store still handcuffed to the pipe. He mumbled crazily to himself, remembering a story of how he beat up his officer in the military. Suddenly he snapped back into reality, he grabbed onto the pipe and let out grunts and yells trying to pull it loose. Desperate he began to call out to Jesus to help him.

Suddenly the door that T-Dog chained shut began to bang open. Merle looked up and saw three walkers pushing against the door reaching out for him. Merle laid down and pulled off his belt now with a new force. He began to yell out to Jesus telling him that he would never beg him for anything while he used his belt to try and grab Dale's hacksaw that laid just out of reach.

Back In The Truck…

"Hey guys don't worry, nobody is gonna be upset that Merle didn't come back." Morales said pulling himself in between Ana and Rick who sat in the two front seats.

"Well nobody except Daryl." Kate corrected him,

"Daryl?" Rick asked,

"Daryl's his brother." Morales said with a nod. Just then the Dodge challenger still with it's alarm blaring drove up to the drivers side. Charlie and Glenn who were still cheering looked over at Rick.

"See you back at camp! Woooooooo!" Charlie shouted as Glenn sped past them back down the road,

"At least someone is have a good day." Kate said with a smile watching Glenn and Charlie waving their arms out the windows like two idiots,

Back At Camp…

Everyone was doing small jobs around the camp, Jim was adding more cans to their makeshift alarm system. Eko and Sawyer were both adding more logs and sticks to the fire pile. Shannon and Boone were having yet another argument, as expected and Claire, Rose and Bernard were hanging up clothes to dry.

Sayid walked up to Jack with a disgruntled look on his face, "Jack, Carol may need your help."

"Why what's wrong?" Jack asked picking up his medical pack,

"What do you think?" Sayid said crossing his arms,

"Ed." Jack said with a nod,

"We shouldn't stand for this anymore." Sayid firmly,

Jack let out a nod, "Where is she now?"

"Down at the lake with Sun and Jin." Sayid replied while walking away.

"Uh Dudes!" Hugo called out to the camp while he looked through his binoculars,

"Talk to me Hugo, what do you see?" Shane said running over with Lori and Carl in tail,

"I-I don't know." Hugo replied handing the binoculars to Dale,

"Stolen car is my bet." Dale said watching Glenn drift along the road closing in on the camp. It was only minutes later that Glenn and Charlie drove in, screeching to a stop. Everyone grouped around while Glenn and Charlie got out of the blaring car with a large smile, "For god's sakes, turn that off!" Dale yelled over the noise,

"Not a clue how!" Charlie yelled back,

"Where's Andrea? Where are they? Are they okay?" Amy asked them with fear ringing though her voice,

"Pop the hood!" Shane said walking to the hood,

"Yeah they're fine." Glenn replied,

"Pop the damn hood!" Shane shouted slamming his fist on the car,

"Alright, easy!" Glenn said popping the hood open. Jim simply pulled of the battery connection to the car finally turning off the alarm,

"Why aren't they with you? Are you sure they are okay?" Amy continued to asked,

"Yes everyone is fine." Glenn said reassuringly,

"Well Merle not so much." Charlie said a bit uneasily,

"Are you two insane? Driving this blaring bastard up here, you trying to bring every walker for miles down on us?" Shane said with clear frustration in his voice,

"Well look at this, is our chinese food here yet?" Sawyer said smiling while walking over to Glenn,

"Knock it off." Shane quickly shot back,

"You know Shane I think we'll be fine." Sayid interjected,

"You call being stupid being fine?" Shane said with a quick glance,

"With the alarm jumping around the mountain it would be hard to pinpoint our location." Sayid explained as Shane continued to glare at him, "I'm not arguing I'm just explaining, though it wouldn't hurt if you two thought these things through more." Sayid said looking back at Glenn and Charlie,

"Right sorry….we got a cool car." Glenn said trying to defend himself slightly. Shane rolled his eyes while Dale let out a nod. Just then they heard Rick's truck pull up, everyone looked over as Rick parked it right behind Glenn's car.

"Come meet everyone." Morales said and headed for the back door of the truck. Rick put his hands over his face and took a breath,

"You alright?" Ana asked,

"Need a moment." Rick replied. Ana nodded and got out of the truck.

"Amy!" Andrea called out running towards the group,

"Andrea!" Amy called back in tears and ran to her sister. The two embraced as Morales's Family ran over and hugged him as well. Kate and Jack shared smiles as T-Dog and Jacqui were welcomed by Dale.

"How'd ya'll get out of there anyway?" Shane asked them,

"Oh it was the new guys, saved us." Charlie said with a smile,

"New guys?" Shane asked in return,

"Yeah they're cops like you, hey Rick! Ana! Come meet everyone!" Morales called out to them. Rick and Ana slowly walked towards the group. Shane looked at Ana and let out a grin that turned into a look of shock as he saw Rick.

"DAD!" Carl yelled out and ran towards Rick with Lori closely behind,

Rick ran to his son and fell to his knees hugging him while tears of joy flowed down his cheeks. Rick pulled himself up still holding Carl and moved to Lori who too hugged him in happiness and shock. She looked over at Shane who looked at Rick with mixed emotions, some happy and others in anger.

Later That Night…

"Disoriented I guess." Rick said to the group who sat around the fire. Carl and Lori were sitting right next to him while Shane looked at them a bit coldly, "I mean afraid and confused but disoriented comes closest."

"Words are meager things." Dale said with a nod,

"For awhile I thought I was stuck in some dream, something I would never wake up from." Rick said squeezing Lori's arm,

"Mom said you died." Carl said looking up at his father as he laid in his lap,

"She had every reason to think that. Don't you doubt it for a second." Rick said to his son firmly,

"When things started to get really bad, they told me they were going to evac you to Atlanta but that never happened." Lori said glancing at Shane,

"I'm not surprised after Atlanta fell and by the looks of my hospital it must have gotten overrun." Rick said with a nod,

"Yeah you're not wrong. I barely got them out of there." Shane said motioning to Carl and Lori,

"I'm eternally grateful for that Shane. Thank you." Rick said sincerely to his friend, "You know Ana you never did tell me why you stayed in town." He said looking over to her,

"It was my mom. You two knew her she would never leave that station. So I stayed behind with her as she tried to keep order. You can imagine how that went." Ana said hanging her head,

"Sorry Ana." Shane said with a nod,

After a brief moment of silence Ana said, "What's his story?" Shane looked over at Eko who sat quietly at his own fire, "He hasn't said a word since we got here."

"That's Eko. He doesn't talk." Shane replied,

"Doesn't talk?" Rick asked surprised,

"Well he did, he talked early on but one day he just stopped. He hasn't talked in months to anyone." Dale explained,

"Well is he dangerous?" Rick as a bit concerned,

"No I don't think so, he hasn't done anything but help." Lori quickly replied,

"Alright so that's Eko, so who's that one." Ana asked pointing over to Sawyer,

"Sawyer." Everyone replied at once to her with a annoyed sounding voice,

"Not trying to start anything but the guy seems like an ass." Ana said looking around at the group,

"Yeah you ain't wrong. The guy barely does anything but come up with nicknames." Shane said shaking his head. Just then Ed who was sitting with Carol and Sophia at a campfire right next to them threw a log into the fire,

"Hey Ed you want to rethink that log?" Shane asked a bit firmly,

"It's cold man." Ed said leaning his head back,

"Cold don't change the rules does it? We keep our fires at embers so we can't be seen from a distance." Shane said now growing annoyed,

"Why don't you mind your own business for once." Ed replied with an uninterested tone,

Shane jumped to his feet and walked over to Ed, "Are you sure you want to have this conversation man?" Shane said roughly but quietly as to not cause a scene,

Ed looked at him and let out a sigh, "Go on. Pull the damn thing out." He said looking at Carol. Carol looked at him for a moment, "Go On!" Ed said a bit more forcefully this time. Carol quickly jumped up and grabbed the log,

"Christ." Shane muttered to himself as he watched Carol. Carol dropped the wood in front of Shane and he quickly stomped it out. Shane then turned back and kneeled down, "Hey Carol, Sophia, how you doing tonight?"

"Were fine." Carol said with a nod and quickly looked over at Ed who was staring back at her, "I'm sorry about the fire." Carol said sincerely,

"No apology needed. Ya'll have yourselves as good night." Shane said with a smile and stood back up, "Thanks for the cooperation." Shane grumbled out to Ed as he returned to his group,

As Shane took a seat Dale asked, "Has anyone given any thought about Daryl Dixon?"

"I dropped the key, I'll tell him." T-Dog replied,

"I cuffed him, that makes him mine." Ana quickly added on,

"Guys it's not a competition." Charlie added in,

"Not to bring race into this but maybe it would sound better coming from a white guy." Glenn said looking over at Rick,

Rick let out a nod, "I should tell him, I was the one who hit him in the first place."

"Tell him what exactly?" Dale asked them,

"We could lie." Amy replied,

"No we tell the truth, that Merle was dangerous and we had to cuff him before he hurt anyone else. If Merle's dead it's nobody else's fault but Merle's." Andrea said firmly,

"And that's what we tell Daryl? I'm sorry but I don't see a calm discussion happening after that." Dale said in a bit of disbelief, "Word to the wise, we are going to have our hands full when he gets back."

"I was scared and I ran." T-Dog began to say, "I'm not ashamed of it."

"We were all scared." Andrea said trying to support him,

"That's not my point, I stopped long enough to chain that door shut. That hallway is narrow, only half a dozen geeks could push against that door at a time. They would never be able to break that chain or that padlock. My point, Dixon is alive." T-Dog stood up, "That's on us." He added and walked away to his tent,

Thirty Minutes Later…

Rick sat next to Carl in their tent, "I found you, and I'll never lose you again." Rick said as he stroked his hair, "Now get some sleep alright?" Carl nodded and turned over.

Rick walked over to his and Lori's bed and got in laying down next to her. Lori wiped away a tear and Rick told her not to worry. Lori smiled and handed him back his wedding ring which he took happily. Rick gave her a deep kiss and the two laid down going to sleep. Just outside however Shane sat atop the RV staring at their tent with a disgruntled look on his face.

Okay so this chapter obviously didn't have a lot happen but I think this chapter and the next will be good for a bit of character development. Oh and two fan favorites will be met next chapter so hope everyone is happy for that. I hope you all like the chapter and if you could leave a review! I'll see you all in the next one.
