The film project is finally done. Don't get me wrong, it was fun at times, but damn it was unorganized as fuck. Our actress was like a goddamn diva and wouldn't show up on time and it stressed us out on time restraint for the project. I just edited what I could for a 2 minute film and handed it in. I know I'm doing good in the class. So, grade wise, I'm not worried. Anyway, here comes the tense episode from Killer Within! Enjoy!
The Atlanta group had grown accustomed to the prison, growing to memorize the lay out as a week had passed by. Most of the days it was just loading the bodies outside, a large pile made in the yard. Rick told not to burn them, not wanting the scent in the air by them or to attract anyone. Deciding to get the cars moving and to burn them off the property. No one had seen sights of the two convicts, Axel and Oscar, which they were glad about.
They took that time to clear the garbage and clean the blood off the walls and floors of the C block. The barred door to the Tombs were to be locked at all times, Glenn and T-Dog went through one day to find more walkers deep within. It was decided not to go in without it being a tight group.
Lori was still carrying the big belly of her child, everyone was waiting for her water to break any day. When a day ended, Carol and Angela listened in for Lori to wake up or move at night. Angela had taken advantage of her recent struggle to sleep to keep an ear out for Lori. At times she would peek in or just sit outside the cell. One night, she had fallen asleep before the sun rose, woke up a few hours later to a poncho covering her.
The morning to move the vehicles arrived as did tasks for all. Lori, Beth, Kaylee and Carl stayed to tend to Hershel, while Angela, Daryl, Carol, Rick, and T-Dog handled moving the vehicles inside.
Angela kept looking at the small space between the main gate and the bus, as Daryl was attached a heavy chain at the bumper of the bus. Her head shook, turning to Rick as he stood by.
"We can't move the bus without the cars, so how we gotta do that?" She asked.
Rick squinted as the high sun shined on them, the heat rising more through the week. "We'll push one of the cars through so it can get through." He turned, pointing to the chains Daryl was working with. "Then we attach the chain to it and pull the rest of the way."
Angela nodded, bringing a hand up to cover the sun in her eyes as she looked over the turned over vehicle. "Shame we can't just flip the damn thing over and pull with the wheels on the terrain." She shrugged, looking to him. "But, without the proper things to get it running, it would just be a lawn ornament either way."
Rick nodded in understanding. "Got it." Daryl said, as he wiped his rust covered hands on his pants and rounded the bus. "Which car we pullin' with?"
Rick pointed at the Chevy. "We'll use that, it'd old so any damage wouldn't be too harmful compared to the truck." Angela and Daryl agreed, T-Dog started the Chevy and threw a thumbs up as he waited for instructions.
Rick gave a wave as he, Carol, Angela, and Daryl backed up for T-Dog to move the bus. Slowly, he pressed the front of the Chevy against the bus and pressed down more on the gas. The engine roared and nothing was budging, making them think to have another plan. Soon, the bus creaked as it dragged against the gravel with the stress of the Chevy pushing it. Rick threw his hand up for T-Dog to stop, finding the space was now wide enough to fit through. T-Dog backed the car up, re-positioned it, and slowly made it's way through and maneuvered around the bus.
Angela hissed to herself, seeing the now dented front of the Chevy, she shook her head. "Dad would blow a casket seeing the sight of that."
Carol chuckled as she watched T-Dog move to the back of the us where the chains laid. Daryl jogged over, taking the other end of the chain and attaching it to the hitch of the Chevy. Daryl stepped back, giving T-Dog a thumbs up to go. The engine revved and the bus slowly was moving to make a better entrance. Rick stepped around, hands on his hips as he assess where to drop it. Once it was off the grave into the grass, he signaled Daryl, to which he signaled T-Dog to stop.
Carol jogged to the truck, which held the rest of their supplies and drove it into the property. Angela helped direct her to parking it on the other side of the main gate. She smiled and threw two thumbs up for her to put it in park. Daryl detached the chain off the Chevy as T-Dog and Carol left the cars.
"Okay, let's get the other car in." Rick told, pointing toward the Hyundai was parked beside Daryl's motorcycle. He looked over and pointed across the yard. "We'll park 'em in the west entry of the yard."
"Good." Daryl tossed the chains and walked over. "Our vehicles camped out there looked like a giant 'vacancy' sign."
"After that, we need to load up these corpses so we can burn 'em." He explained.
T-Dog sighed at the amount of bodies they had to burn. "Gonna be a long day."
Angela nodded, folding her arms. "I can carry sixty pounds at most, but I can only handle carrying so many bodies. There were some big boys in this prison." She told.
Carol looked around, "Where's Glenn and Maggie?" she asked. "We could use some help."
Angela started to wonder that too, she hadn't seen them this morning for breakfast. Daryl pointed toward the nearest guard tower. "Up in the guard tower."
Rick frowned, shifting his footing. "The guard tower? They were just up there last night."
Angela shook her head, a grin on her face. "I think I know why they missed breakfast."
"Glenn! Maggie!" Daryl called, hands on his hips.
Angela snickered seeing Glenn pop up through the window. He rushed to the door, buckling his pants with a sheepish grin. "Uh, hey guys!" Maggie stood, throwing a shirt on.
Everyone chuckled, even Daryl seeing Glenn come out shirtless and guilty. "Ya comin'?"
Angela hadn't expected his words, a knowing smirk on his face. She leaned against his shoulder, chuckling along with everyone at the joke.
"What?" He called, not sure if he heard him.
This caused everyone to laugh to each other more, Daryl repeated louder. "Ya comin'?"
Angela shook his shoulder, he smiled at her as she was finding this too funny. Glenn's clueless look made it words, she snickered and shoved Daryl's shoulder as he shrugged at her.
Daryl waved them down, "C'mon, we could use a hand." he joked again.
Angela and Carol kept waving at him to stop, Rick shook his head as they turned to move the Hyundai and motorcycle through next.
"Never thought I'd live to hear Daryl Dixon make three sex jokes in one day." Angela mused to Carol.
She shrugged, smile still plastered on as she should stop giggling. "Me neither."
Daryl glanced to the girls, smirking as he saw they couldn't stop their giggle fits. "Hey, Rick." All seemed to have stopped though, when they turned spotting Axel and Oscar approaching the gates.
Rick turned, hand on his Colt as he made his was to them. "Come with me."
They all approached the two, meeting them at the opened second main gate. Axel has his usual withdrawn stance, arms cross tightly across his chest. Oscar walked with caution, but more confidence that Axel did. Angela had her hand on the holster of her hip where her own gun rested.
"That's close enough." Rick ordered, stopping them. "We had an agreement."
"Please, mister." Axel pleaded first. "We know that."
Maggie and Glenn came out from behind, leaving the guard tower. They moved to the side with their own cautious air about the two.
He and Oscar glanced back seeing the two behind them, then back to Rick. "We made a deal. But, you gotta understand, we can't live in that place another minute. You follow me? All the bodies- People we knew. Blood, brains, everywhere. There's ghosts."
"Why don't ya move the bodies out?" Daryl questioned standing by Carol and Angela.
"You should be burning them." T-Dog told, as he had before leaving them.
"We tried. We did." Axel told.
"The fence is down on the far side of the prison." Oscar informed, in a calmer manner than Axel. "Everytime we drag a body out, those things just line up. Dropping the body and just running back inside."
"Look," Axel took a few steps forward, arms out in exasperation. "We had nothing to do with Tomas and Andrew. Nothing."
Glenn moved beside Maggie as they watched Oscar. Angela and T-Dog stepped forward, her grip now on her gun watching him.
"You trying to prove a point. You proved it, bro." Axel continued, clear to them how much he doesn't want to go back to the D block. "We'll do whatever it takes to be part of your group. Just please, please. Don't make us live in that place."
"Our deal is non negotiable." Rick stated, not giving time to think over it. "You either live in your cell block or you leave."
Axel looked to the ground, shaking his head with a sigh. "I told you with was a waste of time." Oscar told him, he looked to Rick. "They ain't no different than the pricks who shot up our boys. You know how many friends' corpses we had to drag out this week? Just threw them out like-" He looked to Axel, taking a breath to calm down.
"These were good guys. Good guys who had our backs against the really bad dudes in the joint, like Tomas and Andrew." Angela looked to Daryl, then to Carol who listened intently. "We've all made mistakes to in here, chief. And I'm not gonna pretend to be a saint, but believe me, we've paid out due. Enough that we would rather hit that road than to go back into that shit hole."
Rick looked between the two, he turned to Daryl who shook his head. Angela looked to him, as Rick rounded the two, nodding for them to move. Confused, Oscar and Axel did as told. The four moved as Rick ordered them to the main gate, the others followed.
"Daryl, chains." He ordered as he got the two on the other side of the gate.
Daryl picked the chains up, and jogged over, as Angela stood by. "Get the gate."
It was then Oscar's words had screwed the two over, as they were taking the second option. Angela slide the gate shut as Daryl wrapped the chain and locked the gate.
"C'mon, dude." Axel sighed.
Daryl picked his crossbow up, sharing a look with Angela as he returned to the others hearing them talking around the side of the bus.
"Are you serious?" Rick questioned T-Dog. "You want them living in a cell next to you? They'll just be waiting for a chance to grab out weapons. You-You want to go back to sleeping with one eye open?"
"I never stopped." T-Dog told, he sighed. "Bring them into the fold." Rick looked away, frustrated by his words. "If we send them off packing, we might as well execute them ourselves."
"I don't know." Glenn said. "Axel seems a little unstable."
Angela leaned against the bus, looking to Glenn. "I wouldn't say unstable. The way I see holds himself and kept a distance from the others. He's just as scared of this as anyone of us were when we first saw this horror."
"But after all we've been through?" Carol questioned. "We fought so hard for all this, what if they decide to take it?"
"It's just been us for so long." Maggie said, shaking her head. "They're strangers. I don't- It feels weird all of a sudden having other people around."
"You brought us in." T-Dog countered.
"Yeah, but you turned up with a shot boy in your arms." Maggie replied. "Didn't give us a choice."
"Rick took me and my sister in." Angela told, looking to Rick. "Even after I pointed a gun at you."
Daryl shook his head, "That was different, things were different back then." He told, referring to the fact of the search of the two girls keeping her in the group.
"They can't even kill walkers." Glenn told, Angela nodded in agreement.
"They're convicts, bottom line." Carol argued.
Angela turned to her, "For a failed breaking and entering, and then some on drugs. Nothing like a murder like that Tomas guy probably did." she told.
T-Dog shrugged, looking around. "Those two might actually have more blood on their hands then we do."
"I get guys like this." Daryl finally spoke up, eyes on him. "Hell, I grew up with 'em. They're degenerates, but they ain't psychos." He threw a pointed finger at the prison. "I could've been in there with 'em just as easy as I'm out here with ya guys."
Rick's brows knotted at Daryl, Angela tilted her head looking at him.
"So, are you with me?" T-Dog asked.
"Hell, no." He told, earning a quick look from him and Angela. "Let 'em take their chances out on the road, just like we did."
Angela stepped forward, "You know what this reminds me of? Randall, all over again." everyone looked to her before at one another. "We thought he was dangerous, but never found out if he was. We let our fear feed on the chance some kid could actually have thirty men waiting for him to return."
"That ain't the same, Angie." Daryl told, shaking his head.
She gave him a look, "It is, and look where doing that got us." that stung Daryl as he gave the same hard look. "It got not only him killed, but others too. What if this repeats, and we lose the prison from thinking the same thing? We have keys," She indicated to the ones at Daryl's hip. "Just lock them in a cell and keep them there. They can't get out with the keys."
"I wouldn't doubt they knew how to pick a lock." Glenn mentioned.
"If they did, they wouldn't have been locked down in the cafeteria." She argued.
Rick got between the two, not wanting a big argument to insue. "When I was a rookie, I arrested this kid. Nineteen years old, wanted for stabbing his girlfriend." Rick nodded, remembering it vividly. "The kid blubbered like a baby during the interrogation, during the trail- Suckered the jury. He was acquitted due to insufficient evidence, then two weeks later, shot another girl."
Maggie and Glenn looked to one another, taking in the story. Angela looked down, then up to T-Dog and Daryl thinking over his words. Stories were heard a lot about cases like that on the news, hearing it straight from a cop somehow felt different.
"We've been through too much. Our deal with them stands." Rick passed everyone, Glenn and Daryl following to inform the convicts of their decision.
Carol looked to Angela, who shrugged helplessly. Angela looked to T-Dog, knowingly against throwing them out. "I agree, give them a chance." She told him.
T-Dog shook his head, "Too late to try though." he told.
"They remind me of the troubled teens I worked with, they just need someone to help them." she shrugged, "They could've been the same type I helped when they were younger, sending them to this place." Angela looked over her shoulder watching the interaction of Rick and the two.
"Rick is defensive and protective, I'll give him that. He doesn't want to get anyone hurt, I respect his decision." She told, earning a nod from T-Dog.
They followed after, as Glenn had the keys to open the gate ready to move the cars. Daryl hoped on his motorcycle, Angela approached him as Axel and Oscar watched. Rick and Maggie got in the Hyundai, T-Dog and Carol in the truck.
Axel eyed up the motorcycle, "Twin cylinder. Is that a Triumph?" he asked.
Angela turned to him, seeing he knew something about motorcycles. She herself couldn't tell the difference between this or a Harley, remembering their trip to the said Harley shop back in Savannah.
Daryl gave glare to the man, "Don't even look at it." he growled.
He started it up, the engine revving as he nodded for Angela to climb on. "Didn't want to bore it out?" He asked, as Angela climbed behind him, placing her hands on his shoulders. She gave Axel a soft smile, feeling bad that he was trying to win over with the bike.
"Sounds like it could use a tune-up." Axel told over the engine. "Pretty handy with a wrench." Daryl kept revving the engine to block him out as the bike moved with a bit of a jolt. "Head's are leakin'- I know my bikes!"
Daryl followed behind the two cars, his head shaking. "Tellin' me what my bike needs." He grumbled.
Angela leaned over, her head on his shoulder. "He was just being friendly." Daryl grunted at her words, giving his head another shake. "I remember a time you wouldn't let me near the bike."
"That's different, yer different." He told as they rode up to the prison.
"What makes me so different to get more rides than anyone?" She asked, he glanced back at her as he revved it.
"Got ya to stop yakin'." He teased, earning a slap on the shoulder from her.
"Jerk." She whispered in his ear.
"Nerd." He muttered back.
In the prison, Carl sat on the steps with Kaylee as he was tending to the hand made silencer on his gun. Beth and Lori had returned with crutches, Kay jumped to her feet.
"Sweet, you found some." She beamed at them, "They look in pretty good condition too." she added.
Lori grinned and walked to Hershel's cell, showing the man in bed of their findings. "All right."
Kaylee waved at Carl to come over, who stood by the doorway. He joined her, seeing Hershel sat up, using the top bunk as leverage as he eyed the crutches up.
"Just take your time." Lori assured.
Hershel started pulling himself up, Beth got worried when he sat back down. "Daddy, don't push yourself."
He chuckled at his daughter. "What else am I going to do?" He finally gets up, tucking the crutches under his arms as Lori and Beth stood by his sides. "I can't stand looking up at that bottom of that bunk any longer-"
He rushed to turn around a bit too fast, almost stumbling over. Beth and Lori caught him, Carl and Kaylee stepped forward ready to help. Stabling himself, he adjusting his grip on the crutches, taking a step, and paused.
"Y'know, I think I'm pretty steady." He told himself, as he took a few more steps. Carl and Kaylee stepped back for him to move as he made it to the doorway.
Lori smiled, "That's a good start." she praised. "Want to take a rest?"
"Rest?" He questioned, chuckling at her. "Let's go for a little stroll."
He made his move out of the cell, Lori following beside. Kaylee smiled to Beth, "Your dad is tough." she complimented. Beth smiled, following close beside her dad as they made their way toward the stairs.
Glenn had recently given the convicts their week of food supply, as Rick said he, Daryl, and Glenn needed to get wood for the body burning. Daryl pulled back the hole in the fence for Glenn and Rick to fit through.
"Should I take her out?" Glenn asked, raising his gun toward a female walker across the pond.
"No." Rick told, as Daryl came through behind him. "If that armory hadn't been picked clean, we could spare the ammo."
"Angie n' I'll start makin' runs." Daryl told, standing by the fence to keep watch. "The sooner the better."
"We'll through as much wood as we can in the dog run." Rick explained as he and Glenn along the fence line.
"Won't the fire attract more walkers?" Glenn asked. "Maybe we should bury them."
Rick shook his head, "We're behind the fence. It's worth the one-time risk to get rid of the bodies for good." he explained. "I don't want to be planting crops in walker-rotted soil."
Carol, Maggie, and T-Dog moved the cars into positions in case they need to make an exit. Angela was helping to instruct them so they didn't ram each other or hit the fence. While they were taking care of that, Hershel with his aids were exiting Block C and making his way down the steps. He almost lost his balance at once point, but Lori and Carl got it back. The cars were put into place, as T-Dog and Angela instructed the Chevy last. Hershel hadn't been outside in a week, last he saw the outside it was littered with bodies like dead flies in the kitchen. Now, it was clear with more room for them to take advantage of.
"You cleared all these bodies out?" He asked, giving the area good look over. "It's starting to look like a place we could really live in."
"Hey, you watch your step." Lori told, seeing he wasn't keeping track of his path. "Last thing we need is you falling."
"My dad had knee surgery a few hundred times," Kaylee told, looking to them. "we can wrap those pads with towels or something so they don't leave sores."
As Daryl held the fence up again, letting Glenn and Rick back in with arms full of wood and sticks, he spotted Hershel up and about. "Looky here." He told them, nodding to the moving one legged man.
Glenn dumped the woods and beamed at the sight. "He is one tough son of a bitch." he commented. Rick chuckled, tossing his pile and walking up the fence. "Alright, Hershel!" He cheered, earning a quick shush from Daryl.
"Keep yer cheers down." He told, pointed at the walkers across the way growing antsy at the sight of them.
"Can't we just have one good day." He sighed at them.
"You're doing great daddy." Beth told him, she and Lori giving him space as he was quickening his pace.
"Ready to race, Hershel?" Carl asked, smirking up at him.
"Give me another day." He grinned back at him. "I'll take you on."
Carl and Kaylee chuckled, she spotted her sister and waved at her. Angela and Carol caught sight of them and grinned, waving back. Everyone took a moment in this, Hershel was up and about looking great and proud again. Angela and Carol smiled, he nodded to her right spotting Daryl looking toward her. She smiled at him, earning a teasing nudge from Carol. Rick watched his wife, who actually met her eyes and found a smile playing on her lips. He nodded, finding a soft smile try to make its way to his features. Everyone saw this as a great sign that this would be their home for sure. The crops they could grow, the space they could use.
It was all but ruined, when Carl heard shuffling behind him. He turned, "Walkers!" he barked getting everyone's attention. "Look out!"
The three men saw how alert they become, and spotted walkers heading toward them. "No!"
Rick and Daryl made a run for the gate. Glenn ran, but stopped and turned back to close the hole. Maggie and Angela ran to protect their family, removing their guns and taking aim. Lori, Carl, and Beth started shooting at the walkers for Hershel to make his way to the safety of the cell block. If he got into the caged stair way, he'd be safe.
"Get out of there! Now!" Rick kept barking as he and Daryl ran as fast as they could around the perimeter. "Lori!"
Maggie and Angela started shooting walkers, trying to get to their sisters. Kay stood by Carl as Beth got her father to the steps. Angela spotted a walker going at Hershel. She ran over just as he turned and swung his crutch at it and knocked it down the steps. Angela shot her gun its head.
"Go! Go!" She urged, turning and firing at a few more. "Kay!" She screamed, trying to get her sister's attention.
Glenn fastened the hole shut and ran after the two. "The lock!" Glenn had the keys, Daryl dropped everyone and turned back as Glenn threw them. Daryl caught them, then threw them to Rick who caught them. He sprinted to the one gate scrambling to find the right key.
"That gates open!" T barked, as he shot down two of them.
"Lori!" Maggie held, as she saw the two struggling to get to Angela at the steps. "Over here!"
"Go! Kay, go with them!" Angela ordered as she ran up the steps and shut the gate to keep the walkers from her, Beth, and Hershel.
Kay ran with Lori and Carl reaching Maggie as they ran up the stairs. T-Dog and Carol made their way to close the gate to the back courtyard that somehow got open. Lori shut the heavy metal gate and they all ran inside as walkers slammed against the fencing. Beth, Hershel and Angela looked on as they disappeared inside, thinking they were safe.
Maggie and Kaylee jogged to the cells, ready to confine themselves into the safety of their rooms. But once they got to the door, more walkers came stalking out. Kay screamed at the sight, to which Maggie lead the three away toward the Tombs. Maggie slammed the barred door, keeping them at bay.
Rick finally got the lock off the gate and ran through, getting to work on the main gate. Oscar and Axel were confused and scared of what was happening up at the prison. "Get out of my way!" He barked going to the keys again to find the right one.
"C'mon." Daryl rushed, looking from the keys up there in fear for Angela and Kaylee. "C'mon, come on!"
Finally, he got the lock down and the chains fell. They shoved the gate open and the three made man rush up the way to the second main gate. Oscar and Axel looked to one another, and followed after them.
Angela got her gun through the holes of the chained link fence and fired at the walkers that were in her sights. T-Dog got to closing the gates as Carol checked the doors to make sure no other walkers were hiding. Angela saw a walker coming at T-Dog, she took the crutch off the gate that kept it shut and ran out.
"Angela, wait!" Beth screamed, scared she would get bit.
"Angela, get back here!" Hershel called, watching her running toward T-Dog.
"T! Behind you!" She screamed, aiming her gun at the walker only to hear it click. "Shit!"
T-Dog turned and managed to shove the walker off just as Angela whipped her baton out. She slammed down on the walker until its head was just a hollow mess. T had managed to shut the gate, keeping more walkers from coming in. Before T could give a thanks, he had a look of horror as he shoved Angela to the ground. She scraped her palms on the pavement, hearing a scream be let out. Looking up, she found a horrible sight of T-Dog getting bit in the shoulder by a walker, it must have been creeping up behind her.
"No!" She screamed, scrambling to her feet and slamming the walker's head in with her baton. She turned him around to see the mark, tears filling her eyes in anger. "No, T!"
"T-Dog! Angie, come on! Over here!" Carol called, keeping the door opened for them.
The two ran for it, but Angela slammed the door after they ran in. She heard Carol's screams for her, as she kept her back against it. Angela dropped the empty clip from her gun and reloaded it with one she kept on her. She fired at more closing walkers, wanting to keep them from getting to the door.
"What the hell happened!?" Came Rick's voice.
Angela ran over seeing he, Glenn, and Daryl had made it there finally. "Angie!" Daryl called as a walker came up to her right. He shot an arrow right into its skull, Glenn ran past to check the gate.
"The gate was open!" Beth answered.
Daryl ran over, stabbing another one in the head then turned to her. "Ya bit, scratched?" he asked, eyes running over her blood splattered body. He saw the scraps on her palms as he turned them over.
"No, no- Oh, God!" She sobbed, shaking her head. Angela gripped his arms as she felt her legs collapsing beneath. He knelt down with her as she tried to catch her breath of what she had just witnessed.
"Where's Lori, Carl- Everyone else?" Rick asked the Greenes.
"Maggie led Lori, Carl, and Kaylee into C block." Hershel explained.
"Angie, breath." Daryl told seeing her hyperventilating in his arms.
"T was bit!" Angela finally cried out, Rick tuned to her. "He saved me, he got bit and saved me!"
"Anyone else?" Rick asked, rushing over to her.
She shook her head, "I don't know..." Daryl tilted his head as he got her standing again, wiping her face of the tears. Daryl lead her to the steps, helping her up each one as she clung to him.
Hershel opened the door letting her in, but she stopped turning to her redneck as she took his hand. "Daryl-"
"We'll be back, I promise." He told, holding her hand tightly with reassurance. "Don't leave this spot."
She nodded, and went in as the gate was closed. Beth and Hershel kept her close as she tried to calm herself down. Rick and Daryl went over to Glenn once the walkers were all taken down.
"Those chains didn't break on their own." Glenn told, after inspecting for any damage. "Someone took an axe or cutters to 'em."
Rick's accusing look instantly went towards the only convicts left, Axel and Oscar. They slowly walked toward the gate, seeing the members missing and walker bodies covering the yard once more.
"You think they did it?" Glenn asked, seeing where his stare was pointed to.
"Who else?"
Suddenly, a blaring alarm started going off. Angela jolted at it, looking around as if to find the trace of the sound. "What's that?" Glenn questioned, hearing it all around them.
"Oh- Ya gotta be kiddin' me!" Daryl barked in anger, seeing the sound was attracting the walkers outside now.
"Daryl!" Rick called, tossing the keys to him to close the second main gate in case the outside walkers get through the large fencing. "Kill it!"
Rick aimed his gun at the speakers and fired at them. Sparks flew as Glenn did the same at another speaker. Angela and Beth flinched, arms around one another as more hell was breaking loose on them.
"Back up!" Rick barked at them, a speak right above the three. They did so, ducking as he fired at the speaker silencing it.
"How the hell can this be happening!?" He demanded the two convicts.
"Whoa, whoa whoa!" Oscar held his hands up, as Rick pointed a gun at him. "It has to be the backup generators."
"Well, how do you turn those on?" He asked, emptying his revolver and reloading it.
"There's three that's connected to a diesel tank, okay? Each one controls a certain part of the prison. He explained. "The hacks shut 'em all off when the prison was overrun."
"Can someone open up the main gates electronically with full power?" Rick questioned the two.
Oscar shook his head, "I only worked in there a few days. I guess it might be possible." he shrugged.
Rick pulled at his shirt, and shoved Axel forward. "Come with us!" They ran toward the C Block, as Hershel, Beth, and Angela watched on.
Carol and Maggie lead Lori and Kaylee through the Tombs, hoping to find a place to stay safe until all was calm. Once they turned a corner, Lori leaned against the wall with a groan. Maggie and Kay went to her side, concerned.
"Can you keep up?" Maggie asked, knowing this was a lot to ask from her.
"Something's not right?" She groaned.
"Are you bit?" Carl asked, looking over in fear of such.
"No, no, no." Lori turned around to lean her back against the wall, looking down at her belly. "I think the baby's coming."
Maggie looked at her at that notion, Kaylee stepped back a bit in fear of this. "Mom?" Carl turned, seeing walkers heading there way around a corner.
Maggie helped Lori back up, "No, there's no time." She urged, letting her lean against her as Carl and Kay kept their guns up at the impending walkers. "Turn back!"
They rushed around, Carl and Kay in lead to keep eyes out for anything. Though, they didn't get far as walkers were coming the other way too. Carl turned back down a turn, Kay followed with the other two in toe. Seeing a door, Carl opened it as Kay pointed a gun inside, checking for any movement.
"In here!" He called, keeping it open for the two to limp inside.
Kay got in as Carl shut the door best he could, Maggie and Lori stepped down into what they guessed was the boiler room. The four walked around in the dark corner, keeping silent for the walkers to just pass right by. Lori hissed, grunting and panting as softly as she could. Carl looked between his mom and Maggie, then to Kay who looked just as scared and worried of the situation they were in.
Expecting to find their missing members in the C block, all the found were walkers invading the place. Rick had just shot his fourth one in the cells, as he looked around for his family.
"Lori! Carl!" He called, half way up the steps to see it empty up there.
The others joined, Daryl rushing in as he took an arrow from a head. "We just took down five of 'em in there."
"There were four in here," Rick jumped down looking to them. "But no sign of Lori or any of them."
Daryl bent down to reload his arrow, rushing as he was concerned where the teen he considered as a sister went to. "They must have been pushed by back into the prison." Glenn assumed, hoping Maggie would be alright.
Rick looked around, his heart and mind racing that not only his wife and son missing, but Maggie and Kaylee were too. Light flashed in the cells as he shook his head.
"Somebody is playing games! We'll split up and look for the others." He ran out of the cell, barking back at them. "Whoever gets to the generators first, shut 'em down!"
Angela had her fingers hooked on the chain linked fence, her eyes locked onto the door to the C cell block. Beth and Hershel looked to one another in worry, watching the anxious shaken women. Angela had lost her sister once, and she was trapped before at the mall, and now she was in the cell block hopefully safe. She kept swallowing back urges to cry, her mind replaying the scene with T-Dog getting bit. He was a goner, he was dead for sure and all to save her.

Bruna Pereira- He's honest, and I respect him for that. Oscar seems like a honest tough guy for me. I feel, the reason he did an B and E that he might have been in a tough spot. Especially since Axel said he wasn't good at it. I was going to go further on the two, but wanted to show that Angela is having feelings to get physically close to Daryl. That's where the slow burn gets better! I love slow burn as well, and you shall have slow burn too! Thanks so much, and yes! Angyl! I love it!
bonitalito- Aww, thank you for liking it!
