Daryl Dixon fired the arrow from his crossbow, pinning the walker into the tree. Beth Greene, his companion, darted to the walker, retrieving the arrow before Daryl did. She smiled, wanting to help out the hunter. Daryl nodded, smiling, taking the arrow. He slid it into the crossbow. Another walker was swaggering into sight. As the redneck aimed the crossbow, Beth grabbed his arm. "Wait! Daryl, can I get this one?" she asked.
Daryl looked at the blonde teenager, then sighed, handing the weapon to her. She smiled, aiming the crossbow at the walker. She fired, slamming the arrow into its head. "You got a damn bullseye," Daryl complimented, smiling. "Impressive." Beth smiled, handing the crossbow back to Daryl. "No big deal," she said, going off after the arrow. Daryl stood in shock; he had loved Carol Peletier before, but now she may be as good as dead, and Carl Grimes loved Beth, but the same could be said for Carl what has been said for Carol. But still, would the two ever work out?

Rick Grimes stabbed with the pole, killing the walker in front of him. His fourteen year old son, Carl, stepped up, his silenced pistol in hand. The two were on their own, looking for any survivors; and most importantly, Judith, Carl's baby sister and Rick's baby daughter…unless she belonged to Shane Walsh. Rick's wife, Lori, believed Rick to be dead at the start, and soon she and Shane had sex, and later on, she got pregnant, and the father was unknown: either Rick or Shane.
But after Shane's death, Rick is looking after Judith as his own child, even if she is Shane's daughter. The two had found her bloodied baby carrier, but no body parts. The two have been on their own since the attack on the prison. "Do you think we'll find anyone, dad?" Carl asked. Before Rick could reply, a voice behind them said, "I think you already have." The two spun around, pistols drawn, only to discover that the katana-wielding Michonne was standing behind them.
The two lowered their guns, Rick muttering "Michonne," as Carl ran, hugging the woman. Michonne returned the embrace, hugging Carl tightly. Ever since Lori's death, Michonne has been like a mother to Carl, watching out for him and getting him things on supply runs. "You didn't find anyone?" Rick asked. Michonne nodded. "You did? Beth or Judith?" Carl asked, hopefully. "Well, I saw Daryl call back into the woods some for Beth, but soon walkers overran my position and I had to fall back," Michonne replied. Carl looked to his dad, then Michonne. "We have to find them!" he exclaimed, walking off into the direction Michonne came. "Carl! Wait!" Rick called. "Hell no!" Carl shouted, looking back. "We have to help them! They are our friends, our…our family." Rick looked down, sighing. "Okay, we go back to that area to look. If we don't find them, we move on, got it?" Rick said.
Carl nodded, and then turned around, walking off into the direction where Michonne saw Daryl, and soon started running. Rick and Michonne ran, too, following Carl. "Follow me!" Michonne called, leading them to an area with a clearing. "This was where I saw them," she said, pointing. "Daryl? Beth?" Carl called softly. "Who the hell is that?" Daryl called. "Daryl! It's me, Carl, with my dad and Michonne!" Carl called back. "The hell? Y'all lived?" he asked. "Yeah, Carl replied, now seeing the two.
Carl saw Beth, happy she was okay, but was saddened Judith wasn't there. "Y-y-you don't have J-J-Judith?" Carl stuttered, tears coming up to his eyes. Beth sadly shook her head. Carl wiped his eyes as Beth motioned for her to come to him. He did so as Daryl looked to Rick. "Y'all find anyone else?" he asked. Rick shook his head. "Nah," he looked down. Daryl kicked the dirt. "Dammit!" he shouted.
Michonne turned around, seeing a black SUV with an eagle logo on the side. "Um, Rick? Daryl?" she said, pointing. "What the hell is that?" The two looked at the vehicle. Rick shook his head. "No damn clue," he said, but soon started walking towards it. "But they may help us." Michonne and Daryl looked to each other, shrugging, before turning to the kids. "Beth. Carl." Daryl motioned for them to follow. "Come on," he said, walking off to the SUV, Michonne, Beth, and Carl following.
