Chapter 4

Deal or no Deal

"What did you do Before these guys started walking around?"

Carl interrogated Jamie.

"I was a school teacher"

"What did you teach?"

"7th grade biology"

"How long did you teach?"

"Oh around 5 or 6 years"

" did you have any family?"

"A wife. I had a wife but I lost her to Cancer about 4 months prior to the breakout"

"And how did you survive before you met Our friends?"

"Me and a few of my neighbors were heading out of the city when we came to an abandon church so we stayed there for a few months. but food.

Oh man food, we were all starving,

And none of us had any hunting experience. So eventually we headed out to find food. And that trip is what got us. We lost a bunch of us to rookers and we lost another (Daniel) we think he just died of exhaustion poor bastard kept giving us all the food and water we'd find"

"You think? Aren't you a biology teacher shouldn't you Know?"

"I studied to be a teacher for 6 years and I was a teacher for 5. And learned and was always told a disease like this was so rare I wouldn't see it in my lifetime,

So to be honest I don't know how much I trust my knowledge."

"You said Daniel kept giving 'us' food

What happens to them?"

"There was one other left besides me,

Her name was Beth."

This hits close to home with Carl.

Jamie continues-"she would put up a fight like you wouldn't believe!

She saved my ass a number of times.

And she was never selfish, she had us burry the friends we lost when there were people who just wanted to leave em to rot. And when those people died she still wanted to burry them despite who they were. That didn't matter to her, she was kind selfless and truly a great person and I was so lucky to have her by my side"

"How did you loose her?" Carl asks gently.

"A damn Rooker got her. While we were napping under a car on highway 10, damn thing just left me, only wanted her! Hell I didn't even wake up until she was half eaten!"

"I'm sorry" Carl says.

Jamie thanks Carl

"You can stay as long as Glenn and Daryl do., for now you will sleep in cell block B." Carl told Jamie.

"Who's in there?" Asked Jamie.

"If your lucky maybe Glenn and Maggie. And who knows maybe Carol will move there, to be with Daryl, cause god knows there isn't room for him in 'A' with us."

Follow me back to my cell block so I can give you some blankets and a few supplies.

"Thank you so much you don't know how much this means to me!"

Said Jamie.

The two arrive at the locked door to Cell block A.

"Hershel? Are you napping?"

"Carl?" Asked David.

"Yeah, can you get the keys from Hershel?"

"Sure!"

David grabs the keys from Hershel's cell, and goes to unlock the door and as he get closer

"Trufin!?" David asked.

"David?!" Jamie Trufin Replied.

"You know him?" Carl asked David.

"Yeah he was my biology teacher!"
