Awesome chapter! :) i liked the little spat between Daryl and Eko XD, i can't until the next. (:
Thanks, I thought that would be such a good scene for Eko to finally start talking again.

Whoa man sweet chapter and Sawyer and his many nicknames seems that Daryl is Robin Hood or Green Arrow lol which is cool and funny as well after all its what made me laugh so hard in the chapter after all, Ed got what was coming to him as well which is good.
Also gotta love Sayid as well beating Ed's ass along with Shane not only that Locke showed up too which is cool with how he dealt with that Walker and Merle is missing we all know where he is or at least where he will end up.
Yep I tried to think of the most Sawyer nickname for Daryl and those were the two I came up with. As for Sayid I felt that he was on of the few lost characters that would be able to flip like a switch right now after seeing what Ed did.

lol man good old Sawyer, and Eko has started talking if I am right he may have lost his brother I bet hence why he has not been talking all that much till this chapter that is which makes sense on why he wants to help Daryl find his brother. Am also happy Ed got his beating always liked that as brings a smile to my face.
And thanks I mean as you said too soon for the crush but knowing Sawyer when it comes to something later on he could save Sophia from death.
Glad everyone is liking Sawyer as for Eko only time will tell why he didn't talk. And the brother thought may be right but Eko would help Daryl regardless because that's the kind of guy he is. As for Ed that felt good to write, he deserved all of that.

Damn this was a good chapter I know that this attack is going to happen soon on the camp but they have good fighters Ana Sayid and Locke, but we shall see what will happen in the next chapter and how the Group will deal with the Vatos that live in the city.
Glad you liked the chapter and yeah Ana, Sayid and Locke are good fighters but they have nearly no weapons to protect themselves. And yeah i'm ready to see how Sawyer/Eko add to the Vatos myself.
Enjoy
Jin and Sun sat below the camp once again they both were fishing. They saw out in the distance Amy and Andrea fishing in Dale's canoe. Sun looked up at her husband and let out a small smile, the only good thing that came out of this whole event was their relationship improving. Jin while remaining very protective of her had finally started treating her as a real partner.
The one problem that Jin still had was, he couldn't speak english. Sun however did, during their time in Korea when their relationship was at it's worst she took lessons on english. Originally she planned to run away due to Jin's job, he often had to hurt and once he almost killed a man. Yet when he had a job to go to the states Sun came with him.
"Hello." Sun said to her husband in english, Jin looked over at her oddly. "What would you like for lunch?" She asked. Jin began to talk to her in Korean but Sun stopped him, "From now on I will only speak to you in english, it is how you will learn." Jin once again told her to stop in Korean but Sun continued, "Here take this, it's a list of common english phrases on it." Sun then handed him a pad with simple phrases on it.
Jin took it in his hand and looked it over. He stared at one in particular then said, "I….Would….Like...Fish." Sun gave him a wide smile which Jin returned to her. As angry as he was when he found out Sun spoke english, he was extremely happy now. Though Sun didn't know exactly how much english he could understand, which as it turns out was quite a lot.
Just above them in the camp, Hugo stood atop the RV with a pair of binoculars he was looking up at the small clearing above them where he saw Jim digging, what looked to be graves.
Back In Atlanta…
Everyone slowly surrounded Daryl who had stopped yelling and now was letting out hard breaths of anger. After a moment Daryl let out a yell and pointed his crossbow at T-Dogs head. Rick just as quickly put his revolver to Daryl's head, "I won't hesitate, I don't care if every walker in the city hears." Rick said as he cocked the hammer of the revolver.
Daryl flicked his eyes around to each person while his crossbow remained only inches away from T-Dog's face. Finally feeling the cold revolver barrel on his temple his hands began to shake. Despite everything Daryl didn't want to die or kill T-Dog, he blinked a few times and slowly lower his crossbow.
"Well Christ sheriff, surprised you even gave him a chance. I mean you already killed his brother." Sawyer said while Rick lowered his gun,
Daryl let out a small breath then asked T-Dog, "You gotta do-rag or something?" T-Dog let out a small nod and reached into his back pocket and handed Daryl a small blue rag. Daryl walked over to Merle's hand, "The uh, the hacksaw must have been to dull to cut the handcuffs." Daryl picked up the hand and inspected it, "Ain't that a bitch." Daryl added as he wrapped up the hand in the cloth. He stood up and walked over to Glenn and quickly put the hand into his backpack much to Glenn's distaste.
"Well alright, let's grab the tools and the guns and get the hell out of here." Sawyer said with a smile and turned back to the roof access door,
"No." Eko said walking towards the handcuff,
"Why the hell not? The meth head ain't here." Sawyer shot back,
"He is not dead. We came here to save Daryl's brother, he is not dead." Eko said as he dipped his hand into the still fresh blood, "He was here not to long ago, he went this way." Eko said pointing to the door on the other side of the roof. Without waiting he began to follow the blood trail and Daryl quickly followed.
Rick nodded to the Glenn, T-Dog and Sawyer and followed behind them. T-Dog stopped just long enough to pack up Dale's tools as promised. "Must have used a tourniquet, would be more blood if he didn't." Daryl said as he and Eko both followed the blood trail. They reached the interior of the building and Daryl called out for Merle. Eko almost instantly grabbed Daryl and forced him against the wall. Daryl stared at Eko confused and pissed, Eko however stared right into his eyes and put his finger up to his lips.
Back At Camp…
"Hey Jack! Dude can you hold up for a second?" Hurley called out.
Jack turned back and walked over to the RV and looked up to Hurley, "What's up?"
"Right, so um what do you call it when like someone is doing something that makes no sense and they could hurt themselves." Hurley asked,
"What are you talking about?" Jack asked confused,
"You know like someone was completely normal one second and the next they are doing something kinda crazy." Hurley asked again,
Jack let out a deep breath and rubbed his eyes, "Well there could be many reasons for that but my guess it would be a combination of stress and heat stroke."
"Right okay." Hurley said with a nod, "So you could help someone with that problem?" Hurley asked,
"Hurley what are you getting at here, who has the problem?" Jack finally asked,
Hurley shifted awkwardly for a moment, "It's Jim dude, here look." Hurley said motioning Jack up to the RV roof. Jack climbed up and Hurley handed him the binoculars, "He's been doing this for hours, he hasn't stopped once." Hugo added while pointing over to Jim, "Can you help him?"
Jack stared at Jim for a moment then got off the RV roof and started walking over to him. He arrived in a few minutes, Jim didn't even seem to notice him arriving. "Jim? You okay?" Jack asked only to receive no answer. "Jim with the heat, you keep going like this you could die." Jack said yet still Jim continued to dig piles of dirt out of the ground with no answer. Jack stood their staring for a minute then grabbed his canteen, "Here at least drink some water." Jim stared at him for a few seconds then continued to dig yet again. Jack slowly backed away and headed back down the hill to the rest of the group.
Back In Atlanta…
Daryl and Eko lead the way through the office building. They entered a room and two walkers looked over and snarled at them. Daryl sent a bolt into one of their heads while Eko quickly slammed his stick into it's head, caving in it's skull. Rick took notice of the fact that his stick seemed to have words carved into it but he knew now was not the time to ask.
As they continued to push on deeper into the building they spotted two more walkers, these walkers however were already dead. Their heads were bashed in and a bloody wrench laid just nearby, "He had enough strength to take out these two sumbitches." Daryl said as he stopped to reload his crossbow, "Toughest asshole I ever met my brother. Feed him a hammer and he'd crap out nails."
"Any man can pass out from blood loss no matter how tough he is." Rick replied as they continued to follow the blood trail through the building.
"Yeah so let's just keep hiking through the heart of darkness to a dead guy, genius." Sawyer whispered out to himself.
Back At Camp…
Sun and Amy walked towards everyone who were taking a moment's rest at the fires. Charlie was happily talking to Claire, "So basically what I've managed to do is stack up the rocks around the pit so we can have a higher fire tonight with no threat of the living dead."
Claire gave him a small smile, "Good thinking Charlie, now if we only had something to cook over these fires."
Charlie looked over and saw both Sun and Amy carrying at least thirty fish in their hands, "Oh I don't think that will be a problem." Charlie said with a smile.
Morales ran over with a huge grin on his face. "Look at that!" He exclaimed as they handed him the fish, "Ladies thank you, because of you my children will eat tonight."
"Don't thank us, Jin and Andrea did most of the heavy lifting." Amy said with a smile,
"Jin says that he hopes everyone enjoys." Sun added with a smile,
"Mom, can Jin teach me how to fish!?" Carl asked happily,
"Well that's up to him but if he says yes then of course." Lori said with a small smile,
Jack quickly marched down the hill towards the group, "You see this Jack, you always say more protein." Kate said with a smile but Jack barely noticed,
"Look I don't want to scare anyone here but I think we have a problem." Jack said. Shane walked over to Jack with a concerned look on his face. Jack turned his head and everyone say Jim still digging graves, with no end in sight.
Back In Atlanta…
"Merle!" Daryl called out as they reached the back room, which turned out to be the kitchen of the building,
"Quiet, we are not the only ones here." Rick said quickly to Daryl,
"Screw that, you said it yourself. He could be bleeding out." Daryl replied uncaringly and quickly walked inside the room. As they pushed further inside they would the stove burners running. Everyone looked around the room confused at the scene. Rick picked up a small metal iron with a burnt substance stuck to it,
"What is that burnt stuff?" Glenn asked,
"Skin." Eko replied,
"He cauterized the stump." Rick said putting the iron back down while Glenn looked away in disgust,
"Told you he was tough." Daryl said a bit prideful, "Nobody can kill Merle but Merle."
"Don't take that on faith, he's lost a lot of blood." Rick quickly replied,
"Yeah?" Daryl said walking further into the kitchen, "Well that didn't stop him from breaking out of this death trap."
The group looked over a saw a shattered window and a bloody rag sitting next to it, "He went outside, why would he do that!" Glenn exclaimed as quietly as possible,
"Why wouldn't he, he's out there alone as far as he knows." Sawyer replied with a shrug,
"He's doing what he's gotta do, surviving." Daryl added,
"You call wandering out onto the street and possibly passing out surviving?" T-Dog immediately said, "What are his odds out there?"
"No worse than being left to rot by you sorry pricks." Daryl shot back causing both Glenn and T-Dog to shift uncomfortably. Daryl now turning to Rick said, "You couldn't kill him, not to worried about some dumb dead bastard."
"What about a thousand dumb dead bastards?" Rick replied, " That make a difference?"
"Why don't you take a tally, I'm gonna go get him." Daryl replied walking forward,
"Stop, this is not the way." Eko said putting his hand on Daryl's chest,
"Get your hand off me! You can't stop me!" Daryl shouted out,
"Look I don't blame you, he's family. I get that, I went through hell looking for mine. I know exactly how you feel. He can't get far with that injury, we could help you check a few city blocks but only if we can keep a calm, level head." Rick said to a slight distaste of the group,
"I can do that." Daryl said with a nod,
Rick looked over at the group, "Anyone got a problem with that?"
"The six of us walking around dead town with only two guns, a crossbow and a stick? Hell no, that's the best plan I've heard." Sawyer replied leaning against the wall while crossing his arms,
"I hate to say it but I'll only do it if we get the guns first, I'm not wandering Atlanta with just my good intentions." T-Dog said in a sense of agreement.
Back At Camp…
Jack along with almost the whole group began to walk up to Jim, "Look guys this is not a good idea." Jack said to Shane and Sayid who were leading the group,
"Relax Jack were just going to talk to him." Shane replied,
"You don't get it, he's not in a stable mindframe. If he starts to feel attacked he may lash out and hurt someone." Jack explained quickly,
"He won't feel attacked, we are just going to convince him to stop." Sayid added,
Jack let out a angered groan, "You don't know how he will respond to this." Shane and Sayid didn't respond to this and just kept walking. Jack let out a defeated sigh and crouched down for a moment,
"Yeah telling Shane not to do something never really works." Ana said stopping next to him,
Jack looked up at her, "Ana right?"
Ana let out a smile and nodded, "Yeah, I was in the same station as Shane. He was the same back there too." Ana said crouching down next to him,
"Well Ana, Shane may not like being told no but this will turn worse any minute now." Jack said shaking his head,
"Yeah I know, I never said Shane did everything right. Come on you better be there incase someone gets hurt." Ana said standing up and putting her arms out to Jack. Jack looked up at her then took her hand and got to his feet the pair showed up just as Shane was talking to Jim.
"Look Jim, we aren't trying to argue here. We just want you to take a break, why don't you just get some shade and something to drink." Shane said calmly,
"Please Jim, this isn't good for you." Sayid added, "Maybe after your break I will help you but please just take a break. You can't keep this up."
"Sure I can just watch me." Jim replied as he jammed the shovel back into the earth,
"Come on Jim, just give me the shovel." Shane said putting his arm out,
"Or what?" Jim said standing straight up,
"There is no what Jim, I am asking you. I am coming to you and asking you for the shovel, please don't make me take it." Shane said easily,
"Or you'll beat my face in likes Ed's huh?" Jim then looked over at the group, "You all seen his face or what's left of it! Man can't even walk after what you two did to him."
"That was different Jim." Sayid said clearly beginning to turn angry,
"Ed was hurting his wife, he had to be stopped." Amy interjected,
"That is their marriage! They have no right there." Jim shouted then looked back at Sayid and Shane, "But that's what happens when someone crosses you right?"
"Jim just give me the shovel." Sayid said walking forward. Jim shoved Sayid back and quickly put both hands on the shovel. He took a swing hitting Sayid in the head and sending him to the ground. Shane jumped ontop of him and quickly handcuffed him while Jack ran over to help Sayid,
"He alright?" Shane asked while holding down a struggling Jim,
"He's gonna need some stitches, split his forehead open." Jack said pushing a rag onto Sayids head,
"Jim! Jim no one is going to hurt you here." Shane said trying to calm him,
"That's the biggest lie there is." Jim said starting to cry, "I told that to my family a dozen times but it didn't matter. The dead ripped them right out of my hands." Jim let out a long breath, "You know the only reason I got out of Atlanta was because the dead were too busy eating my family."
Back In Atlanta…
"You're not doing this alone." Rick said firmly while everyone circled around a whiteboard on the floor,
"Even I think it's a bad idea and I don't even like you much." Daryl said in agreement,
"It's a good idea, okay. Just hear me out." Glenn said then looked down at the board that had a very loose sketch of the nearby city blocks, "If we go out there in a group, were slow, drawing attention. If i'm alone I can move fast." Glenn picked up a paper clip and put it onto the board, "Look this is the tank," Glenn then put a crumpled up sticky note next to it, "This is the bag of guns. Here's the alley I dragged you and Ana in when we first met. That's where Daryl and I will go."
"Why me?" Daryl asked,
"You're crossbow is quieter than his gun." Glenn said causing Daryl to let out a bit of an embarrassed nod, "Why Sawyer and Daryl wait in the alley I run out and grab the bag."
"And where will we be?" Eko asked listening closely,
"You, Rick and T-Dog right. You guys will be here." Glenn said putting down an eraser further down the street,
"Two blocks away? Why?" Rick asked,
"I may not be able to come back the same might cut me off. If that happens I won't go back to Sawyer and Daryl I'll go forward instead. All the way around to that alley where you guys are. What ever direction I go I got you in both places to cover me." Rick let out a nod in agreement, "Afterwards we all met back up here."
"Hey kid, what'd you do before all this?" Daryl asked,
"Delivered pizza's, why?" Glenn replied confused,
Everyone looked around a bit shocked at Glenn being able to put this plan together being only a delivery boy. Finally Sawyer cocked his head and said, "Well alrighty then."
Minutes later Glenn, Sawyer and Daryl were climbing down the ladder into the alley where Glenn, Rick and Ana first met. As they reached the edge of the alley Glenn took off his over shirt and tossed it to the side. "You got some balls for a chinaman." Daryl said putting a bolt into his crossbow,
"I'm Korean." Glenn replied and started moving forward,
"Whatever." Daryl replied just as Glenn turned the corner. Glenn spirited forward, up the street avoiding the wandering dead. Few began to see him but Glenn kept moving quickly. Just as he reached the tank he turned his head and saw about ten dead lumbering to him. He grabbed the bag and turned to run but stopped. Glenn looked back and saw ricks sheriff hat laying on the street.
Glenn let out a wince of anguish and ran back to grab it. He got to it just as the dead closed in around him. Still seeing an opening he began to run back to Daryl and Sawyer. Back in the alley Daryl and Sawyer crouched by the dumpster when they heard something shuffling towards them, from behind them. They both jumped up aiming their weapons at a small hispanic kid,
"Woah, what do you want!" The kid exclaimed,
"Looking for my brother, he's hurt real bad you seen him?" Daryl asked. The kid began to yell out help in spanish,
"Shut the hell up before you bring the dead down on us!" Sawyer yelled out. The kid continued to yell, he yelled just loud enough for Eko, T-Dog and Rick to hear it. Without waiting the trio began to sprint towards the yells. Sawyer took a swing knocking the kid to the ground. Daryl covered his mouth telling him to shut up but the kid kept yelling.
Distracted two more man ran into the alley, one armed with a metal baseball bat. The one with the bat hit Sawyer in the back sending him to the ground while the other kicked Daryl down. They began to beat them but stopped as Glenn turned into the alley.
They stood up and ran after Glenn who froze in fear. "That's the bag! Take it!" One of the men yelled while they grabbed Glenn and threw him to the ground. While they hit Glenn and tried to grab the bag Sawyer scrambled for his gun which was knocked away in the scuffle. Daryl however grabbed his crossbow and took a shot hitting one of the men in the butt. He let out a yell but just then a car rolled up.
The second me grabbed Glenn and while using him as a shield began to shuffle to the car. "No! Daryl! Sawyer! Help!" Glenn shouted out as Glenn was pulled into the car along with the men. Sawyer grabbed his gun and stood up.
"Sonofabitch!" Sawyer shouted as he sprinted out of the alley after the car,
"Sawyer wait!" Daryl shouted out and ran after him. The dead however closed around the alley making Daryl shut the gate leaving Sawyer outside. Rick and the others showed up just as Daryl grabbed the hispanic kid and shoved him into a wall. Rick ran over and separated the two,
"What happened?!" Rick shouted while T-Dog held onto the hispanic kid,
"This little bastard and his homie friends jumped me and took Glenn! Sawyer ran after them, he's just out on the street!" Daryl yell as his face turned red with anger, "I'm gonna stomp your ass!" Daryl yelled while lunging at the kid as Rick held him back,
"WE HAVE TO GO!" Eko boomed out causing everyone to look at the large horde at the gate of the alley. Everyone seemed to stop agreeing to flee now,
Rick ran over and grabbed the bag while everyone began to run, "Come on!" Daryl yelled out as Rick stopped for a moment surprised to see his hat laying on the ground. Rick quickly grabbed it and took off running along with the rest of the group.
Alright I know it's been a few days since the last chapter but I took a small break from the writing. That being said I hope you all liked this chapter because I really liked writing it, especially the Sawyer parts. He is extremely fun to write in his one liners. Anyway leave me a review telling me what you think!
