Chapter 3

"Stray" #2

Hershel unlocks the door to their cell block, Carl runs out weapon in hand.

burrowing through the prison doors, when he gets out to the yard looks around for the screaming victim and to his surprise sees a familiar vehicle. "It can't be" Carl thinks to himself.

Rick opens the fence.

Carl start shooting the walkers one by one, allowing the vehicle to enter.

"GLENN, MAGGIE, DARYL! You're back!" Jarrod greets them.

They get out of the suburban,

Carl and Rick and Jarrod all welcome back their missed friends.

When Carl notices somebody else in the car.

"Who the hell is that?" Carl yelled pointing his gun at him

"Woah there Carl!" Glenn said stepping in front of Carl's loaded gun.

"This is what I need to talk to you about" Glenn said looking towards Rick.

"You talk to me now!" Carl demanded.

Confused, Glenn looks towards Rick hoping for an explanation, Rick turn away in shame.

"Carl, what's going on? What's happened here? "

Asked concerned Maggie.

"It doesn't matter, just know. You talk to me! Not him."Carl shouted

Glenn and Maggie then turned to Jarrod.

He backed up Carl,

Knowing Carl was a lot stronger then currently distressed Rick.

So Glenn takes Carl off to the side to explain to him who the newest 'stray' was.

"Carl look, he saved our lives!

A couple months ago Daryl was out hunting when a herd came out of nowhere, me and Maggie were surrounded! He heard Maggie's screams.

He didn't have to help but he risked his life saving ours."

"So, what? He was probably starving desperate, and he got lucky he didn't get eaten we don't need someone making the same bad calls and risking not only his but all of our lives!"

"

"Daryl!" Glenn calls to back him up.

"Let me talk to him" Daryl suggesting Glenn walks away.

"Carl."

"I already said no!"

"We can not just send him on his way!"

"Why are you guys even here what happened?"

"A couple days ago a group of people who calls themselves TOC

Started ransacking houses and there was no way the four of us could stand a fight so we hightailed it back here."

"TOC?" Carl asked

"Yeah I think. Carl I don't know! We didn't introduce our selves if that's what you're asking!"

"How do I know he isn't working with them?"

"He isn't! Carl you are gonna have to trust me."

"I trust you. It's him I don't trust."

"Well go talk with him, he can be an asset to the group!

He fights like Michonne with that sword of his!"

"What's his name?"

"Jamie."
