Good chapter! :) I know Jack could help Carl very immensely, he did after all help a woman get her legs back after a car wreck. It's cool to see Desmond make an appearance, he was quite an interesting character; i can't wait until next chapter. (:

Yeah we all know Jack is a miracle worker when it comes to surgery even if he doesn't believe in them. Glad you like that Desmond is here, only person I felt would make sense to show up at the farm.

Whoa I have a bad feeling about this as we all know what Shane does in the show Otis is dead that is for sure I mean look at the dude still things will heat up that is for sure and it seems things are getting good each chapter.

Glad you are enjoying the build up of things to come each chapter, yet with Desmond thrown in on Shane's run who knows what could happen.

Yayyy! Desmond my fav! The man who can see the future XD

And awww where's penny? She's not there? And I hope he doesn't die by Shane DC that would be devastating. Let him live! Forget Otis LOL

Yep Desmond is here! Yet no future seeing sorry to tell you. As for Penny she's not dead, Desmond doesn't know where she is though. And you will see what happens to Desmond and Otis soon…

Hmmmmm I wonder where Locke is and what he is doing as things are heating up and Shane is getting more crazy as well it seems. I also have a feeling some of the prisoners at the prison may know Sawyer he was there after all, hell we may see a few other losties there as well, maybe.

Yeah where is Locke? Hmmm…. And for the prison I have a couple of ideas already and you may or may not see some losties there.

Cool I know Otis is a dead man I mean Shane kill him Desmond not sure, I mean he was in the army after all if I remember still it shall be good.

Shane took out Otis to escape who knows if Desmond will also have to die….

How much will they be able to change in this series? Will some other characters besides Amy outlive their canon selves? Unsure how much more Lost aspects you can put in with the sheer supernatural aspects of it. Looking forward to see how they can handle Shane's breakdown and The Governor

Ah the characters outliving their canon is a definite possibility for them but there is also a chance for some characters to die sooner because of these people. Though i've always was firm that no supernatural aspects will be involved.


Enjoy

Dale was walking back with a small bag of items that the group overlooked while they first searched. He spotted everyone else gathered at his RV using it for shade in the late hours of the day. He walked over to them with a bit of a smile and sat down next to them, "Well I found some more batteries." Dale said as he pulled them out of his pack, "Along with a nice new machete, some trendy pink water and a guitar." Dale then looked over to Charlie who eyed the guitar immediately, "Charlie if I recall weren't you a musician before all this?"

"Yeah." Charlie said with a smirk and held up his hand showing a ring with DS on it, "Drive Shaft. I had my moment in the sun."

"Well if you ask me, we could all use a bit of music to lift our spirits. What do you say?" Dale asked holding the guitar out to him,

"Maybe later Dale." Charlie said taking the guitar from him,

"Medicine?" Jack asked,

"No, you?" Dale replied,

Jack held up a bottle and shook it rattling a few pills, "Ibuprofen."

"I found these." T-dog said with a smirk as he held up his cigarette. Suddenly his face sunk and he said, "What are we doing here?"

"Gathering Supplies." Claire said confused,

"No, I mean...What are we doing? People off in the woods, they looking for that poor girl and we're here. Why?" T-Dog asked,

"T-Dog I don't understand what you-" Jack started to say,

"They think we're the weakest. They left you," T-Dog said as he pointed at Jack, "To take care of the four of us because they think we can't take care of ourselves." T-Dog then turned to Dale, "I mean what are you, 70?"

"64." Dale replied,

"Uh-huh, And you missy how many months pregnant are you?" T-Dog asked,

"8 months." Claire said rubbing her stomach,

"Right, and Charlie look at you. You can barely hold your head up." T-Dog said as Charlie and everyone else looked at him oddly as well as confused, "And I'm one of the two black guys. You realize how precarious that makes my situation?"

"What are you on about mate?" Charlie asked,

"I'm talking about two good-old-boy cowboy sheriffs and a redneck whose brother cut off his own hand because I dropped a key. Sure Eko's doing alright now but once he fucks up...Who in that scenario you think is gonna be first to get lynched?" T-Dog asked causing everyone to be taken aback,

"You can't be serious." Dale replied,

"T-Dog." Jack said with a small chuckle, "Nobody is going to lynch you or anyone else."

"Am I missing something here?" Charlie asked, "Those cowboys have done all right by us."

"And if I recall that 'redneck' saved your life today." Claire said,

"And don't forget about Amy. Stays catatonic for almost a day then flips out at her sister and starts dating Sayid. Yeah she's all there." T-Dog said sarcastically,

"She's having a tough time." Dale said quietly,

"What is wrong with you?" Claire finally asked,

"What's wrong with me?" T-Dog said slowly getting angrier, "The whole world is having a tough time. Damn, guys. Open your eyes!" T-Dog began to yell much to everyone worry, "Looke where we are, Stuck in this mess here!" Everyone began to shush him as Jack looked around making sure nothing was nearby, "Let's just go, let's just get in you RV man and leave. Just the five of us." T-Dog said holding his head with a pained look,

Dale and Jack looked at eachother then Dale said, "You've gone off the deep end."

"I'm serious why are we just on the side of this road like live bait?" T-Dog asked as Jack stood up and leaned over to him with his hand out,

T-Dog pulled back away from Jack, "Please, just let me." T-Dog stopped moving and Jack felt his head, "He's burning up." Jack said looking over at Dale. Jack quickly grabbed the pills and the bottle of water Dale found and handed some to T-Dog to take. "Take these, they should knock the fever down."

Just then the group heard the clopping of a horse. Jack reached into his waist band and pulled out his pistol. He walked forward and raised it only to see Eko coming towards them, "What? What are you doing?" Jack asked confused,

"Coming to get you." Eko said hopping down,

"Eko? Why are you alone?" Dale asked walking over,

"Is everything alright?" Claire asked,

"No, Jack you need to come with me now." Eko said firmly,

"What's wrong? What happened?" Jack asked,

"It's Carl, he's been shot. We took him to a man but he is only a vet, he needs your help. Now please come on." Eko said turning back to the horse,

Jack ran over and grabbed his leather bag and pulled himself onto the horse while everyone stood their in shock after hearing what happened. Just as they got further down the road Dale called out, "Is everyone else there?!" Yet they were already so far away they didn't hear him.

Meanwhile in the woods the group continued to walk back towards the highway, Ana walked next to Daryl leading everyone and she finally asked, "So how much further."

"Hundred yards, as the crow flies." Daryl replied,

"To bad we're not crows." Sayid replied as he took his shotgun into his other hand. He held back for a second and saw Amy lagging behind the rest of the group. He held back and waited for her, "What's wrong?"

"It's Andrea." Amy said as she looked around, "Why isn't she back here with us?"

"She said she was heading back to the highway, she must already be there." Sayid said as he put his hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry we're almost back." Amy looked at him and gave him a thankful smile and the two began to walk to catch up with everyone else.

Suddenly a walker turned around a tree and caught the pair off guard. Amy let out a scream of horror causing everyone to turn back to them. Sayid took the shotgun and smashed it's face yet the walker pushed forward dropping to the ground along with Sayid. Sayid put his boot on it's chest and held it back as Amy reached down for the shotgun just then someone riding a horse came by and smashed the walker in the face with a baseball bat.

Sayid jumped to his feet and Amy quickly tossed him the shotgun, "Lori? Lori Grimes?" Maggie asked as she looked at Amy,

"I'm Lori." Lori said as she along with the rest of the group ran over,

"Rick sent me. You've got to come now." Maggie said quickly,

"What?" Lori asked confused,

"There's been an accident. Carl's been shot." Maggie said and Lori's face quickly dropped, "He's alive but you've got to come now." Lori tossed her bag to the ground and ran over towards her,

"Whoa we don't know this girl. You can't get on that horse." Daryl said,

"He's right Lori we don't even know where you're going." Ana said walking forward along with Lori as she got to the horse,

"Eko told me that you are set up on the highway in that big traffic snarl?" Maggie asked,

"Yeah." Ana replied,

"Backtrack to fairburn road. Two miles down is our farm, mailbox says Greene." Maggie quickly said and she and Lori rode back off into the forest. Everyone watched as they rode away a bit confused the silence was broke by the walker who sat op groaning only for Daryl to say, "Shut up." And fire off his crossbow killing it.

Minutes later the group showed up on the highway where everyone else was waiting, "Dale the RV ready yet?" Ana asked as they climbed the embankment,

"Yeah why?" Dale asked,

"We have to go to this farm, Carl's been shot. Someone is treating him there." Ana replied,

"Yeah I know, Eko showed up twenty minutes ago and grabbed Jack and rode off. Where's Lori?" Dale asked,

"Some girl rode in and grabbed her and took off." Glenn answered,

"And you just let her?" Dale asked looking at Daryl,

"Climb out of my asshole, man. Girl knew Lori and Carl by name." Daryl said storming off,

"Is Andrea here?" Amy asked,

"No? She's suppose to be with you." Dale replied with a concerned tone,

Amy's face turned pale and she looked back to Sayid, "Stay calm." Sayid said holding his hands up, "I'm sure that she is right behind us."

"Hey!" Daryl called out as he came back to Dale,

"What?" Dale asked,

"Where the hell is Locke and the others?" Daryl asked,

"I don't know." Dale replied while shaking his head slightly.

Back at the farm Rick ran outside as he saw Eko and Jack returning. Jack jumped off the horse and ran towards Rick, "Where is he?"

"He's inside ask for Hershel." Rick said pointing towards the house. Jack nodded and ran inside, Rick walked over to Eko, "Thank you, could I ask for one more thing?"

"Anything." Eko said sincerely,

"My wife, can you get her." Rick replied,

"She's on her way." Eko said,

"Where they already back on the highway?" Rick asked as they both began to walk back towards the house,

"No, Maggie offered to ride out and get her." Eko said as they both got to the porch. Rick let out a nod and let out a pained sigh,

"Your brother, Yemi wasn't it?" Rick asked,

"Yes, what about him?" Eko asked,

"You said he died, how?" Rick asked,

Eko shifted and his eyes sunk in, "He was shot." Eko said quietly,

"Who did-" Rick started to ask just as Hershel walked out,

"Jack's looking at him now." Hershel said as he stood looking out,

"It's a beautiful plot of land." Rick said as he looked out as well,

"Been in my family for 160 years." Hershel said proudly,

"It's untouched, you are lucky." Eko said with a smile,

"We weren't completely unscathed. We lost friends, neighbors. The epidemic took my wife, my stepson." Hershel replied,

"I am sorry for your loss." Eko said sincerely,

"Me too." Rick said with a nod,

"My daughters were spared. I'm grateful to god for that. Everyone here, we're all we have left. We just hoping to ride this out peacefully until they find a cure." Eko nodded slightly yet Rick turned away unable to look him in the eye,

"We were at the CDC, it's gone now. There is no cure." Rick said to Hershel,

Hershel let out a small laugh and smiled, "I don't believe that. When AIDS came along, everyone panicked. One boy came down with it and parents started pulling kids out of school."

"This is different." Rick said,

"That's what we always say, this one's different." Hershel said still with a smile,

"Well this one is." Rick said firmly,

"You there, do you agree?" Hershel asked Eko,

"I do not know. Perhaps." Eko said as he rested against a pillar,

Hershel shook his head, "Mankind's been fighting plague since the start. We get beat for a while but we bounce back. This is just mother nature restoring some balance."

"I wish I could believe that." Rick said sadly,

"And what do you think?" Hershel asked Eko,

"All I can say, nothing is absolute." Eko replied. Just then they heard a horse coming and looked up. Maggie and Lori quickly road up to the porch and Rick ran off to get to Lori. She collapsed into his arms as Hershel and EKo watched sadly. Rick lead her inside and she hugged her unconscious son and wept as Jack stood back hanging his head. After a minute Hershel peered in and whispered into Jack's ear, he nodded and said, "We need to talk about this."

Rick nodded and with Lori's help walked out of the room into the dining room. Hershel handed Rick a glass of orange juice to drink as his blood transfusions had been quite taxing on his body. He took a sip and started to put it down, "Drink it, your body needs it." Jack said firmly causing Rick to take a few gulps,

"So as I understand it, when Shane gets back with these other men." Lori said,

"Desmond and Otis." Hershel corrected her,

"Desmond, the idiot who shot my son." Lori said bitterly,

"Ma'am it was an accident." Hershel said,

"I'll remember that after this, for now he's the idiot who shot my son." Lori replied,

"Lori, they're doing everything they can do to make it right." Rick interjected,

"Okay, as soon as they get back with what you need you two can perform this surgery?" Lori asked,

"I'll do my best." Hershel said with a nod,

"Yes." Jack said as well,

"Have either one of you done this procedure before?" Lori asked,

Jack shifted and rubbed the top of his head, "No."

"No?" Rick asked surprised,

"I was a spinal surgeon. This wasn't in my particular area, that being said I'm still qualified to try." Jack replied,

"What about you?" Lori asked Hershel,

"Yes, in a sense." Hershel replied,

"In a sense? You are a doctor right?" Lori asked concerned,

"Yes ma'am, a vet." Hershel said nodding,

"A veteran? A combat Medic?" Lori asked lighting up slightly,

"A veterinarian." Hershel replied,

Lori paused, "And you've done this before on what? Pigs? Cows?" Rick muttered something out and fell into his chair. Jack ran over and looked at him, "His body is getting dangerously low on blood."

"You are completely in over your head aren't you?" Lori asked Hershel,

"Ma'am, aren't we all?" Hershel asked back.

Meanwhile Shane, Desmond and Otis snuck up the hill just outside the high school, "Got a question if you don't mind brotha." Desmond whispered out,

"Shoot." Shane replied,

"What did you do before all this?" Desmond asked,

"Sheriff's deputy." Shane replied, "What about you?"

"Easier to tell you what i've not been." Desmond replied just as they got to the parking lot. The three of them quickly got behind some police cruisers as they came to the see dozens of walkers wandering around in a large group, "Bloody hell." Desmond whispered out as he watched them,

"Okay where do we gotta go?" Shane asked,

"See that mobile medical trailer across the way?" Otis said,

Shane peered over and saw the trailer on the far side of the herd, "That's where we gotta get to?" Shane said bewildered,

Back on the highway everyone gathered around so they could talk about what to do next when Jin shouted out to everyone else. "Locke!"

Everyone turned back and saw him walking out of the forest, "Thought we lost you old timer!" Daryl shouted out to him with a small smirk,

Locke gave him a smile and a wave, right behind him Kate walked out as well. Then Sawyer walked out yet he held a small girl in his arm. Carol's eyes locked on the girl as she saw that it was none other than her daughter. "Sophia!" Carol exclaimed as she jumped over the guardrail and down the embankment. Sawyer put Sophia down and the pair ran at each other for an embrace.

Everyone watched in happiness, and a new found hope as they saw this lost girl and mother reunited. Carol cried and apologized as Sophia wept in her mother's shoulder. Eventually Carol picked her up and began to walk back towards the RV along with Locke and the others. As they all regrouped Carol asked, "Where did you find her?"

"Found her tuckered out in this old house. She made herself a little spot in a pantry." Sawyer said with a smile,

"Thank you, thank you so much." Carol said as she gave Sawyer a tight hug,

"No problem Twinkle." Sawyer said as he gave her a pat on the back,

Over the next few minutes Dale gave everyone the rundown on everything that they missed. "Carl is shot?" Kate asked surprised,

"Yes." Dale said with a nod,

"And Andrea is missing?" Sawyer asked,

"Yes." Dale said with another nod,

"Well I guess we should get up to that farm then." Locke said,

"I won't do it. We can't just leave." Amy said,

"Amy, the group is split. We're scattered and weak." Ana explained,

"My sister is still out there. What if she comes back and we're all just gone. I won't do it." Amy said firmly,

"Okay." Daryl said with a nod, "I can hold here tonight, stay with the RV. Then tomorrow if she isn't back we can atleast rig a big sign."

"If the RV stays then I stay too." Dale said,

"Thank you." Amy said with a small smile,

"I will stay as well." Sayid said,

"Alright fine but we aren't all staying here. We need to get Claire, Charlie and T-Dog out of here and back to Jack just incase." Ana said firmly, "I'd want everyone else to go as well."

"Sorry Lola, I think I'll kick back here tonight." Sawyer said with a smile,

"Yeah, yeah me too." Kate said with a nod,

Ana sighed, "Fine anyone else want to stay?"

"No one else is staying. The rest of you need to get to that farm and link up with out people and more importantly you need to see if they can get T-Dog some help. That cut has gone from bad to worse and if he doesn't get help soon, he'll die." Dale said,

Daryl scoffed and walked over to his bike and pulled out a bag of met and pill bottles, "Why didn't you say something sooner. I got my brother's stash." Daryl said as he dug through the bag, "Here this is grade a shit." Daryl said as he tossed two bottles of pilled to Glenn and Dale, one was painkillers the other antibiotics. Everyone looked at him surprised, "Merle got the clap on occasion." Daryl said with a shrug as Dale let out a smile.

Back with Shane, Desmond and Otis. They continued to sit behind the cars and tried to think of a plan, "Not to rush you brotha but we only got about twenty minutes of daylight left."

"I know, I'm thinking." Shane shot back. Suddenly something hit him and he began to sneak around the side of the car towards the driver door. He slowly opened the door as to not alert the dead then he popped the trunk open. He returned to the others and reached into the trunk and took out a few road flares, "Good thing it's late, this should distract them." Shane said with a smirk.

Twenty minutes later the three of them started to pop the flares and toss them into the horde. The dead turned their attention to the flares and lumbered after them. As soon as they saw an opening the three of them snuck up to the medical trailer and got inside. They breathed a sigh of relief and started to dig through the supplies.

Back at Hershel's farm Jack and Hershel watched over Carl, "His pressure is dropping." Jack said,

"We can't wait long." Hershel replied,

"Take more blood then I'm going." Rick said suddenly,

"Going? Going where?" Lori asked,

"It's five miles, Shane should be back by now. Something went wrong." Rick replied,

"Rick no, you can't leave. You won't make it across the yard before you fall down." Jack said,

"I can't just do nothing!" Rick shouted,

"Sit. I will go." Eko said and walked out of the room,

Everyone watched for a second then Lori walked out of the room after him, "Eko I appreciate it but you don't have to do this. Shane will be back."

"I'm sure he will be but if something is wrong then I can help." Eko replied as he opened the front door,

"You've already done some much for us. It isn't fair for you to do all this for us." Lori said hanging her head in guilt,

"This was my choice, I will return." Eko said as he walked down the steps into the night.

Back at the high school the three men finished filling their bags and slowly opened the door only to see a walker looking directly at them. It snarled causing others to look over at them. "God damnit." Shane grumbled out and the three started running away deeper into the school territory as the herd of walkers chased them.

"Come on! Stay close!" Shane shouted as the three man sprinted across the school's lots. At each turn they we getting blocked off by more and more walkers. A walker closed in on Shane only for Desmond to kick it to the ground and them to run to the front of the school. A circle of walkers closed around them, Shane thinking quick shot the glass doors open and the three got inside the school itself. Desmond and Otis closed the security gate and the three watched in confusion, anger and fear as the walkers slammed themselves against the gate snapping their jaws at them.

Alright hope you all liked this chapter and if you did please leave a review telling me what you liked or just a question you have. Next chapter even more things go down and I really hope you like that Sophia was indeed found alive and well. Anyway see you all in the next one.
