Chapter 6

1 week later.

"So have you thought about what your gonna do with Max And Harry yet? Or even me?" Sarah asked Carl while the two were getting dressed in the guard tower.
"I told you it's not completely up to me"
Carl answered.
"Well you are the leader aren't you?"
"Yes but just because I trust you doesn't mean I can let you out, if I go ahead and let you out right now, you're not gonna have a pleasant time"
"What do you mean?" Sarah asked.
"I just mean. Be patient. Okay?"
"Alright. "
"So have you heard Harry and max talk about anything I should know about?"
"No they mostly just talk about games, something called 'League' and like 'Jerry's mod' weird stuff" Sarah said.
Carl laughs. "Well if you hear anything you'll let me know?" Carl asked.
"Sure thing boss" Sarah said smiling.
"Thank you." Carl said.
The two went down the guard tower and headed over to cell block C.
"Okay I'll talk to you later" Carl say goodbye to Sarah as he gave her a goodbye kiss.
"So Harry, Max tell me," Carl said startling both boys.
"Who is a better fighter?" Carl asked.
"That would be me sir." Max, politely said.
"Well how are you feeling?"Carl asked again.
"I'm feeling okay" Max replied.
"Good enough to go on a scouting mission with me and a couple of my men?" Carl asked.
"Yes sir. Where will we be going sir?"
"A week ago we were on our way to find you, and we saw someone with power a mile or two south of you" Carl explained.
"Did you pass this?" Carl asked Harry.
"I'm not sure. It was day time, and I mostly stayed in the woods" Harry answered.
"What about that 2nd cabin half way to yours?" Carl asked.
"No I don't know anything about that either." Harry replied.
"Alright well, Max you will be walking in between me and one of my men, we will have somebody ahead of us. If you try to run. We kill you" Carl said calmly.
"I'm not gonna run."
"Good"
"But do I get a weapon then?"
"You will get a weapon. When we start arriving at this place."
"What about those creatures?"
"We will handle them. You don't need to worry about that. You just worry about who might be waiting for us when we finally arrive." Carl explained.
"Alright then we are good to go." Carl said while unlocking Max's Cell.
"Ri-right now?!" Max asked surprisingly.
"Yeah sorry. But I can't very well let you plan an escape now can I?" Carl asked.
"Alright so what? I do this. Am I free?" Max asked.
"You do this, and you'll gain some trust." Carl told nervous Max.
"Alright," Max said while almost puffing out his chest wanting to look tough.
Max was slightly shorter then Carl. Even though he was 14.
He had long black hair that almost reached the middle of his back.
He didn't quite have a six pack but you could see almost everyone of his ribs. And he's skin color was slightly darker then Carl's on account of being Asian.

"Alright now shall we go get the other men?" Carl asked.
"Cool" max said not really answering.
"See ya Max." Said Harry.
"Yeah. See ya" Sarah said.
The two boys go and get Daryl from cell block B, Daryl is already ready..
Carl sends Daryl to get Jarrod from Cell block A not wanting to bring Max there.
Only a few minutes later Daryl and Jarrod come walking out of the prison."what's he doing here?"
Jarrod asking about Max.
"What are you doing here man?" Max asked trying to be tough again.
"Max stop it. You are only here to prove yourself we don't need you. And Jarrod. Keep your thoughts to yourself." Carl said lecturing them both.
Jarrod stood about a foot taller then both of them about the same height as Daryl. Jarrod is 19 years old. Hershel's eldest son.

"Alright lets get going." Carl lead.
Glenn opens the gates.
"Thanks man" Max says to Glenn on his way out.
Once the men are outside Glenn shuts the gate.
They get into formation Carl on the right with is weapon in hand, his weapon being a pistol.
Daryl on the left with a cross-bow.
Max in between only watching their back.
And Jarrod up ahead getting. Some practice with his new sword.
The men fight of a number of zombies on the way. An hour later they can start to see the light again
"There's the lamppost." Carl said to Daryl.
"That don't look like no Lamppost. " Daryl said.
"Lamppost point down. See that? This is pointing on an angle. Like On something." Daryl explained.
"Well we'll find out. Carl said.
Around another hour later the group arrives at light. They are hiding just in the border of the woods.
The groups sees a sort of shack.
"We got to think of a plan." Daryl whispers.
"Alright you want to find out how many people are in there?"
Carl asked Daryl.
"Yeah"
Daryl goes sneaking around the shack looking in its only window. He notices a woman sitting inside and a a door going down to what looks to be a basement.
Daryl heads back to the group
"There's a basement I think."
And 1 woman, we can handle her doesn't even look like she's got a gun.
"What are we doing here guys?"
"Are we being bandits?!" Max asks.
"I thought we were just checking these guys out."
"We are! china man" Daryl says to Max.
"I'm Korean."
"Who cares?"
"Guys come on."
The 4 of then go towards the door.
And Daryl slowly opens it,
But the woman turned and saw them.
"Well that took forever!" She said.
"What?" Confused Darly asked.
"Don't I get it free if its been passed 30 minutes?" The woman asked.
"Get what free?" Carl asks.
"My pizza! It's been almost a year and a half!" She explained.
"Crazy?" Carl asked Daryl.
Daryl nods his head yes.
"Well Uhm mam, we are here to apologize about that. And to inform you that because of our mistake we will be giving you a free lifetime supply of pizza" Daryl lies.
"What?! Oh my god! That's so awesome!" She screamed.
"Ben kept telling me over and over
'it ain't never gonna come!'"
(She said in a deep grungy voice)
"I knew it would pay off!"
"I'm sorry mam, who is Ben?"
"Oh he's my husband."
"Is he here now?" Daryl asked.
"No I'm sorry y'all just missed him. He went to go visit his brother"
"Oh so nobody else is here?"
"No.. Well.. The ninjas.." She whispers.
"Ninjas?" Daryl asks.
"Shhh keep your voice down."
"Mam we need to know who all lives here so we know how many pizzas to make."
"Okay well lets see there's me, Ben, Mathew, Kris, Zach, and Jasmine." "Okay and none of them are here?"
"No silly I told you the went to go see their brother!"
"Okay mam. Do you mind if I take look down here?" Carl asked opening the door to the basement.
"Oh no go ahead. Is that where you will bring the pizzas?" She asked
"Yes mam." Carl said.
"Oh!" She shouted.
The group jumped.
"Yes?" Daryl asked.
"My name! I almost forgot to tell you my name! It's pronounced (ser-ree) and spelt C R I. Got that?"
"Yeah " Daryl said.
Carl takes Max down I investigate the basement.
"Tell me more about the ninjas." Daryl tells Cri.
"What ninjas?" She asks whispering.
"Oh!" She screams.
"The ninjas." She whispers.
"They killed my dog" she says crying.
"I'm so sorry to hear that. Do you happen to know what they look like?" Daryl asks.
"No silly you never see them. Their ninjas! But once I thought I seen a brown robe swish past that window"
She said with wide eyes only adding to her crazy look. Frizzed hair, missing teeth, lazy eye.
"DARYL!" Carl yelled
Daryl looks at Jarrod.
"I got her! Go!" Jarrod said.
Daryl runs down to the basement to see Carl staring into a closet.
"What is it?"
"It- it's us." Carl said.
"Their all dead."
