AN: Here's the fifth chapter. I am hoping to get a beta soon to help me out. Sorry about the Errors in the last chapter for some reason every time I save it takes letters out. No matter How many times I fix it.

Disclaimer: first chapter

Ch 5

Daryl and Merle had picked up Beth from the Grimes home and headed home. They had split what they found in the envelope hoping to find something. They had left the pictures alone for the moment since they were more focused on the information the eldest Greene had collected. When they arrived at their apartment Beth had gone to the kitchen to prepare a late lunch for them while they went to the study to look over what they had found. They had been going over it for several minutes when they heard a light knock on their door. They looked up to see Beth with a tray of food for them. She placed it by their elbows before she quickly left the room. They looked to see she had made them hot roast beef sandwiches with fresh lemonade. Merle took the glass and took a long drink before he sat back to eat. He looked at the pile of pages before him and shook his head. " I see nothing in this pile that would get under the Governor"s skin." He said. Daryl looked at his own.

"Well there's this apparently the Governor's paying someone in the police force to erase all evidence against him. Several people but it doesn't list who." Daryl said.

"Great so we don't know who to trust on our own force." Merle said. "What next?"he asked.

"She with the Dixons, they will be impossible to get past to get to her." said a voice from the phone. The Governor sighed.

"Can Milton or Gabriel get close to them I know of their distaste of you." The Governor said.

"Maybe. Distaste more like down right loathing. They just look for an excuse to punch me. If they can get the Dixons out of the way I can get the girl."

" See if you can't get the eldest daughter down too. After all I'm sure she is missing her little sister. I have someone working at the hospital to dispose of the old man before he can say anything. No one must know of my dealing with the Mayor. After all this town is going to pay for what happened to my daughter." He said before hanging up the phone and heading to his assistant's office.

Beth was sitting in her room just staring out of her window when she heard a knock on her door. She turned to see Daryl at her door but not fully in. "can I come in?" he asked softly. She nodded before watching him sit next to her on the bed. " I went and saw your father the night you came here." He said. She looked at him in surprise." I wanted to see how he was doing." He added fidgeting slightly. She laid a hand on his that was tapping slightly in his nervousness.

"Its okay, I know he won't last the week Daryl. The doctor called and told me...I just haven't gotten the courage to go and say goodbye to him." she said softly. He turned his hand to grasp hers. " I know once this case is solved and you catch this guy I can leave. I've never been alone before. Before I was always with someone in the house, Shawn. Maggie, Mom-ma. It will be different." she said with a small smile.

"Actually about that. I have to talk with Merle about this but maybe once this over with, you could stay with us." He said softly. " I made a promise to your father that I would protect you even after this is all over with." He said "I would like it if you stayed." He added as he looked at her from the corner of his eye. She smiled sweetly at him.

"Why Daryl Dixon do you like me?" She asked softly while a small blush appeared on her cheeks. He nodded slightly.

"Yes I like you, but I never felt like this with anyone else. I mean I like the Grimes, Michonne and a few other people but you...your special." he said. Beth thought for a moment before placing a kiss on Daryl's cheek. He blushed as he looked at her.

"If Merle is okay with me staying when this is all over with I would love to stay." she said softly. She looked down before meeting his eyes again biting her lip. "Can you go with me later to see Daddy? I don't want to go alone." She asked softly. Daryl nodded as he had his thumb rub her wrist trying to soothe her. "And maybe we could hang out afterwards?" she asked shyly. Daryl swallowed before he nodded. He heard Merle call for him and patted Beth's hand

"Just let me know when you want to go to the hospital." he said as he left the room glancing back at her to see her response. She nodded as she watched him walk out of the room. She gave a soft smile as she turned back to the window .

"You sure this will kill them slowly?" the Governor asked holding a vial of dark yellow liquid. His assistant nodded as he opened a door that held a blonde woman tied to a chair.

"Yes sir. Miss Andrea here will help me verify that fact. Found her snooping around Shane's place." he said as he took another vial from his pocket and and filled a syringe. Andrea struggled against her bonds as the Needle got closer.

"Milton you did create a antidote right?" the Governor asked. Milton nodded before sticking the needle in Andrea's neck. She slightly screamed over her mouth gag as the liquid burned as it entered her system. They all waited in patience to see what would happen. Milton started to smile as he saw blood coming from Andrea's nose and her eyes.

"See the liquid busts the veins in the head making blood drip from the nose eyes and sometimes ears, Next her lungs will collapse and she will suffocate. She will drown in her own blood and suffocate from the lack of air. " He said as the veins in Andrea's neck started turning black as she gasped for air before she ceased moving. Milton looked toward the Governor to see him smiling sadistically.

"You did good Milton." He said as he cut the ropes holding Andrea to the chair. She slid from the chair to the floor. " Let's leave the Police another gift. Drop her off at the front steps of the station." He said to the two men behind him as he placed a hand on Milton's shoulder. " Let's see this antidote. I think we just found a way to make this town pay." he said as they left the room.

There's the sixth chapter. Got the idea for the liquid of death from live action Black butler. Figured it was something the Governor would do. Enjoy. More coming soon
