PART II

12. ESCAPE -Andrea's POV

Being locked at the back of the house, I did not believe anyone could or would find me.

I laid down on the sofa, thinking about Milton and my sweet daughter Claire.

How long had Philip been gone?

About a week, I thought. And no one would think to look for me, because Philip had me call anyone who might be concerned or at least that was what I thought.

I hear a noise coming from the front of the house. Who was it?

"Open up. It's the police," I hear a familiar voice.

The roughness in that voice, I would know anywhere.

But how did he find me? I tried to scream, knowing that Shane Walsh could help me.

Still I was afraid he could not hear me, and I would be stuck in her forever. To my relief , he must have heard me because he is suddenly in the room with me.

"I picked the lock," he says warmly.

"How you know?" I asked quietly.

"Michonne told me that you might be in some trouble. And that you have a daughter. You know she could be mine," he says taking my hand.

"Yes, I am aware that could be possible. You will help me get her back regardless?" I said still trying to figure everything out.

"Of course, but at the moment I need to get you out of here," Shane says taking me in his arms.

Unable to keep my eyes open I close them, not sure what will happen next.
