Chapter 20
Discovery
Daryl is sitting on the ground grieving. Carl shoots the walkers who killed Carol. And pulls Carols body into the yard and kills the straggler walkers trying to get in.
Then points his pistol at Carols head, knowing what he has to do, he slightly closes his eyes, and pulls the trigger.
Carl walks back over to Daryl.
"I'm sorry man. I had to." Carl apologizes.
"I know."Daryl Said.
Carl reached out to help Daryl off the ground.
Daryl ignored Carl.
Carl places his hand on Daryl's shoulder. "I'm really sorry." He says while leaving Daryl to be alone.
Carl walks a bit further where Harry, was standing. "Go let Glenn, Max and David know what's happened. And have them come block A."
Carl told Harry.
"Okay, I will." Harry said.
"I'll go tell Sarah, Jarrod and Maggie."Carl volunteered.
Carl heads over to Hershel's grave.
"Carl what's wrong?" Sarah asked worried.
"Carols gone." Carl says starting to cry.
Maggie hugs Jarrod even tighter an Sarah hugs Carl.
They all grieve.
"Where's Daryl?" Maggie asked.
"He's over there. He wants to be alone."
"Lets get inside." Carl suggests.
"Yeah, it's getting dark" Sarah said while wiping away her tears.
"we will all sleep in My block tonight.
We need to be close." Carl said.
"That's a good idea." Maggie agrees.
"Let me go get Glenn." Maggie says.
"I already sent Harry." Carl said.
"Oh. Thank you." Maggie said.
They all arrive at Cell Block A.
Glenn, David, Max and Harry are all waiting inside.
"You guys go ahead." Carl said telling Maggie and Jarrod to go in.
"Sarah come with me please" Carl Said.
"Okay.." Sarah said confused.
Carl took Sarah around the corner.
"It's about David."Carl said.
"What about him?" Sarah asked.
"Earlier I seen you with Max."
"What do you mean?"
"You guys were talking."
"Yeah? What about it?"
"It made me mad."
"Carl we were just talking."
"I know that now, and I'm sorry."
"Sorry? Carl what do you mean?"
"When I saw you. I- I went over to David."
"Carl you didn't?"
"I'm so sorry Sarah. I'm not use to this."
"I'm gonna go inside."
"Sarah please talk to me."
"Carl you just went through a lot. We'll talk about this later when things settle down.
"I'm sorry" Carl apologizes one last time.
The two go in to Cell Block A where the rest of the group was waiting.
"Where's Daryl?" Glenn asked.
"I don't know, he's still out there." Carl answered.
"I'm gonna go check on him" Glenn volunteered.
"Glenn, we're gonna need someone else in those towers tonight. Even if we have Daryl up there we can't expect full support from him while he's like this." Carl told Glenn.
"Of course. you don't even need to ask." Glenn answered.
"But Glenn." Maggie said.
"Maggie I'm sorry but we need someone to be out there." Carl said.
"I know. I'm sorry." Maggie apologized.
"I'll send Daryl in." Glenn said as he walked out.
"Okay Judith will be in her crib while Me and David are on the top bunk in our cell. Sarah you will be on the bottom bunk in my cell. Maggie you're with your brother. Daryl will take the top bunk in Hershel's cell when he gets here. Max and Harry you guys on the bottom bunk. Sound good to everyone?" Carl asked.
Everyone agrees with Carl.
On Glenn's way out to the tower, he goes to Daryl and tells him "Daryl they're all sleeping in block A. I'm gonna man the towers so you go get some rest."
"Why would she do that?" Daryl asked.
"She knew I cared about her!" Daryl shouted.
"Why would she do that to me?!" He asked Glenn
"Daryl. I don't think she was thinking straight. I think she was sick. Harry said that she told him she was going to see Sophia. I think in her head this was a reasonable way of doing that."
Daryl was silent.
"You should head inside." Glenn suggested.
"I need a minute" Daryl said.
"Okay. I'm sorry buddy. Glenn said while putting his hand on Daryl's shoulder.
Glenn continues to the tower.
back inside the prison, everyone is already asleep.
About 5 hours later Carl wakes up and as he is getting out of bed, he wakes Sarah.
"Good morning" she says.
"Sorry, good morning." Carl replies.
"It's fine. Where you headed?" She asks.
"In a minute I'm gonna go get Glenn so he can get some sleep."
"I'll come with you."
"Okay let me wake David then."
"David." Carl said while gently shaking David's shoulder.
"Hmm? Uhn? What?" David asked confused.
"Everything's fine. But I'm going outside so you need to listen for Judy."
"Judy?" David asked.
"Yeah, what do you think? I love her name but it kind of seems like we're talking about a woman, not a little girl. Judy kind of sounds better."
"I like it, a lot"David said.
"It's really pretty" Sarah said.
"Alright I'm gonna tell Glenn to use the bottom bed." Carl tells David.
"Okay that's fine."
Carl and Sarah head down when Carl notices Daryl isn't in bed.
So Carl wakes up Harry and Max.
"Did Daryl come in last night?"Carl asks the brothers.
"If he did he was quiet." Harry said.
"Alright thanks." Carl said.
Carl heads over to the tower with Sarah.
They go up to take over for Glenn,
But to their surprise Glenn was sleeping.
"Glenn!" Carl shouts
"Uhn? Oh my god, I fell asleep! I'm sorry! Everybody okay?" Glenn panics.
"We're fine, but Daryl never made it in to block A. You know where he is?" Carl asks.
"Uhh no, last I seen him was last night. I told him to go to 'A'."
Glenn says.
"Well maybe he's in block B in his cell." Carl suggests.
"I was coming up to take over so you could get some sleep, but it seems you already had some. You'll be okay for a few more hours?" Carl asks
"Yeah I should be fine."
"Should?" Carl asks.
"I Will be" Glenn corrects himself.
"Come on Sarah." Carl says while heading back down.
Sarah follows Carl back down.
"So why did you want to come with?"
Carl asks Sarah.
"Not that It matters I'm just wondering!" Carl adds.
"Well we need to talk about David."
"Yeah. We do..."
"I need to know you're not gonna run back to him every time I talk to another guy."
"I'm just not use to this. I was only 12 before the breakout. I never really had a chance to have a real relationship."
"Carl. You can have a real relationship now. Maybe not an easy one, but definitely a real one."
Carl smiles.
"Should we start over?" Carl asked.
"I'd like that" Sarah said kind of embarrassed.
They kept walking to Block B.
They went inside and checked each Cell but Daryl wasn't there.
"Hey did you guys move stuff since I was in here?" Sarah asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I haven't been in here since you put me in here. But when I was, Carol kept all the supplies right here, between these cells." Sarah explained.
"Are you guys running low?!" She asked.
"no. They should have at least a weeks worth left." Carl said while starting to take a look.
"Someone must of taken it." He said
"Like who?" Sarah asked.
"Well we left the cell unlocked so. Anyone really."
"Well then they would have had to of gotten in the walls."
"Glenn was sleeping for hours, who knows if someone's here."
"Then we got it back and warn the others!" Sarah panicked.
" no wait. " Carl said while going in to Carol and Daryl's cell.
Carl lays on the ground.
"What are you Doing Carl?" Sarah asked.
"Daryl and Carol, they kept a little box under the bed, I can't find it."
"What was it?, whoever stole the food took it too?"
"No, they wouldn't of wanted it. It only would I meant something to Daryl."
"So what are you saying? You think Daryl took this stuff?"
"Yeah, he must've left last night."
"Left? Why?"
"Carol is what kept him going. He could of fought that TOC group with Glenn and Maggie. But they came back here, because Carol was here. And- well now that she's gone I guess he didn't see much of a reason I stay."
"He wouldn't of done this to us."
"Done what? Half the supplies we had he got for us! It's only right for him to take it!"
"We'll now were gonna have to Go scouting sooner?"
"Yeah, we can handle it."
"Lets go tell the others what's going on," Carl said.
"Are you sure you want to?" Sarah asked.
"As a leader.' You can't keep secrets. That's how a whole falls into pieces'. Daryl told me that." Carl explained.
"Okay, lets go." Sarah agreed.
The two head back to Cell Block A.
"Harry, open the door." Carl said.
"Daryl's gone." Carl told everyone while Harry let him in.
"What do you mean he's gone?"Maggie asks.
"He left, and he took some supplies."
Carl explained,
"Why would he do that?" Jarrod asked.
"And you guys were worried about me taking stuff." Harry smarts off.
"He didn't take anything that didn't belong to him, he gathered those supplies It would have been stupid for him to leave without it." Carl explained kind of angry.
"I still don't get it why would he leave?!" Maggie asked.
"He always said he would one day,
And that it wouldn't be for a while. But the minute Carol died that all changed."
"How much supplies did he take?" Mac asked.
"About a weeks worth." Carl answered
"And how much do we have left?."
Max asked.
"We have enough food, but we are low on formula anyways.." Carl explains.
"What's that mean?" Jarrod asked.
"It means we go. We get more. We do it all the time." Carl answered.
"Who's we?" Maggie asked.
"Me." Carl said.
"I've gone by myself before." Carl continues.
"I'll go with you" David said.
"No. I need you with Judith."
A slightly jealous Sarah stands up and volunteers to go with.
"No. I want you here." Carl turns down her offer.
"So what you're gonna go alone? Take Harry!" Sarah says.
"Harry hasn't been here that long." Carl explained.
"I - I can go." Harry says.
"You don't have to." Carl told Harry.
"I want to." Harry assured him.
"Alright we'll leave at noon." Carl explained.
"Why so late?" Jarrod asked.
"I have to assume we won't make it back tonight. Leaving at noon, we'll probably reach the houses at sundown, where we will stay the night and start heading back at sunrise."
Carl explained.
"Okay that's good, good plan." Jarrod said hoping his opinion mattered.
"Bring little supplies and enough food for you to last two days." Carl told Harry.
"Two?" Harry asked. "I thought you said-"
"I did! But you never bring Just Enough. It's just a precaution." Carl said.
"Okay sorry?" Harry said not sure of he should apologize.
Harry is very nervous, this is his first time leaving since he arrived.
Carl heads up to his cell. And grabs his pack and starts to fill it.
"Carl what's gonna happen if you don't find any formula?" David asked
"Hershel said, at her age now is when people start to ween them off of formula. But he also said things are different now, and we should try to keep her on till she's a year old."
Carl explained.
"So, she'll be okay if you find any?"
"I hope so." Carl answered.
Carl walks down and puts his pack on the small table.
"I'll come and get you when it's time to go." Carl told Harry.
"Oh-ok!" Harry said nervously.
"Where you headed?" Maggie asks Carl.
"To tell Glenn to go ahead and come down."
"I was just gonna go see him. I'll tell him."
"Oh alright."
"Lets get everything from the other blocks." Carl told Sarah
"I want it all in here." Carl continues.
The two head over to Cell Block B. because it has the least amount of stuff. When they arrive Carl goes in and grabs the few things left. A pair of slippers, a hair brush, and a broken walkie-talkie.
Sarah goes in and strips down each one of the beds, and starts to fold the blankets and sheets.
The two of then bring back all of that.
They arrive at Cell Block A.
While they were waiting for David to open the door.
"Carl." Maggie says walking.
"What is it?"
"It's those guys in robes you were talking about!"
"They're here?!" Carl shouted while dropping the stuff in his hands.
he ran out while un-holstering his pistol. When he runs out he see the three men with hooded robes on there knees with their faces and hands flat against the ground.
"What is this?" Carl asks Glenn.
"I don't know, they just came and laid down their weapons and laid there."
"Hey!" Carl shouted.
"They won't say anything."
"Lets grab their weapons." Are suggest.
"Yeah I was just waiting for you." Glenn agrees.
Carl walks over to the fence and aims his gun at the 3 men.
"Make one move and I'll shoot." Carl tells them.
Glenn walks out and around the hooded men he notices that two of the men are barefoot and only the guy in the middle is wearing boots.
Glenn grabs the bowstaffs and comes back in and hands them to Maggie,
"Bring these Inside and come back out. And tell everyone else to just stay in. " Carl told Maggie.
"Okay" Maggie said while grabbing them and almost running back in.
"What should we do?" Glenn asked.
"Let them stay there on ground for a while." Carl answered.
"Okay"said Glenn.
Carl and Glenn waited for ten minutes until the man in the middle slowly raised his head. Then slowly raised his hands and took off his hood. Then placed his hands back in the ground.
"Oh, you ready to talk?" Carl asked him.
in a very strong Chinese accent the man in the middle wearing boots said using very broken English and in a low mumbly voice he says "yes, we bring food, right inside forest."
"Who are you?"Carl asked.
"I explain inside? Outside, disrespectful." The Asian man wearing boots asked Carl.
"You can come in, but only you and we gotta cuff you."
"Yes, only me. But. 'Cuff' ?" He asked not knowing what Carl meant.
"We're gonna tie your hands." Carl Said.
"Oh yes. Yes that is fine"
Carl throws his fathers handcuffs to Glenn, to put on the Chinese man.
Glenn walks back out and cuff the man and helps him up off the ground.
"If you guys try anything we'll kill your man." Glenn says to the other two men still on the ground.
"They not try anything"the Chinese man said.
"Put him in the shed" Carl commanded Glenn.
"Got it." Glenn said.
Maggie comes back from bringing in their weapons.
"Got your gun?" Carl asked her.
"Yeah always." She said.
"Ok, make sure these guys don't move."
"Okay, where's Glenn? Is he with the other man?" Maggie asked.
"Yes, I'm gonna send him back over here."
"Okay"
Carl heads to the shed to interrogate the Chinese man.
"Go back over and watch those guys. And you or Maggie go see of you can find that food that he mentioned." Carl told Glenn.
"Okay" Glenn replied.
Carl walks into the shed.
"So should we start with your name?" Carl asks the Chinese man.
"My name it Discovery Atticus."
"Why are you here Discovery?"
"I am here to protect you."
"From what?"
"There are people, they want kill you"
"Who?"
"Friends of woman you shot."
"Cri?"
"Yes I believe the is her name."
"You killed her men." Carl told Discovery.
"Yes, but they think you did that."
"Well I guess your gonna have to tell them you did it."
"It will not matter, they want walls you have"
"How do you know all of this?"
"We have been following them for many months unseen and unheard."
"Stealing from them?"
"No. We do not steal. We only take what we find abandoned."
"Why did you bring food?"
"I am in your home, it be rude and disrespectful not to bring food."
"These guys. Where are they?"
"They are in house in forest."
"Why are you helping us?"
"We protect everyone if they don't make threats."
"And if we do? You'll cut our heads off?" Carl asked.
"We wanted you know you no have worry"
"Why didn't you tell us who you were, then?"
"We taken vow of silence for 40 days., to remember our friend , his name, Brodie kwon. He was great man."
"What happened to him?"
"He was killed by beast."
"And who are the men out there?"
"They are brothers. When I found them they were both very broken, and very sick. Their names are J.D and Sebastian Troof"
"How long have they been with you?"
Carl asked.
"It be 7 months now." Discovery answered.
"You said those people were coming When?"
"Board in their closet says 2 days."
"And you wanna help us?"
"Yes that is right."
"And give us food?"
"We no want eat your food while we here"
"So the food is for you guys?"
"Correct."
"While you're here?"
"Yes, we only want place to rest for couple weeks"
"Then you guys are gonna just leave?"
"Yes, we must continue our journey"
"Where is that taking you?"
"Arizona"
"Why Arizona?"
"J.D and Sebastian say they have family there."
"Wait here." Carl said while standing up.
Discovery stands up as well to be polite.
But then he follows Carl to the door.
"I said wait here!" Carl shouts.
"Yes sir. I just wanted to give you this." Discovery said while pulling a dagger out from his robe.
Carl takes the dagger but is silent.
He storms out of the shed mad that he was fooled.
"Is that his?" a concerned Jarrod asking about the Dagger in Carl's hand.
"Uh yeah.. Why aren't you inside?"
"Maggie told me to wait. I just wanted to check on everyone." Jarrod answered.
"Oh.. Okay." Carl said while holding his side.
"You okay?" Jarrod asked Carl.
"Yeah- yeah I'm fine."
Carl walks over to Glenn while he is watching J.D and Sebastian.
"Hey pat em' down then bring them to the shed." Carl told Glenn.
"Alright give me a second."
"Ok"
Carl walks back in to the shed.
"I'm having your guys moved in here. you can explain to them they are not to do anything without my approval.
You guys will sit here for an hour, then you are going with me and my man Harry on a supply run." Carl told Discovery.
"We have extra food. You don't have to leave tonight." Discovery told Carl.
"We don't need food.". Carl said while walking out of the shed.
On his way back to the prison he passes Glenn and the other two men, who now have their hoods off.
Carl notices how much younger they are. "How old are you guys?!"
They do not answer.
Carl goes back in the shed.
"Hey! How you old are they?" Carl asks discovery.
"J.D is 16 year old. Sebastian is 14."
Discovery answers.
"Then What makes you think they are any better then my men?!" Carl asks angrily.
"I never said they were." Discovery said.
Carl heads back to Cell Block A again.
"What are those guys here for?" Max asked.
"What are you gonna do?" Harry asked.
"They are coming with me and Harry"
Carl explained.
"What? Why? Can we trust them?" Harry asked.
"I don't know. But. I'd rather have them with me then here. And we could use a little more help." Carl explained.
"Well just lock them up. I'll go with!" Max told Carl.
"No. With just me and Harry going, if things go bad we
Can get back. The more people the more risk we don't make it back. And these guys are expendable."
Carl explained.
"Carl are you feeling alright?" David asked a sweaty red faced drowsy Carl.
"Yes I'm fine." Carl said.
"Now lets go Harry." Carl shouted.
"Okay." Harry said.
The two walk out to the shed.
"Harry this is Discovery. These are his men. J.D and Sebastian. They are going to help us." Carl told Harry.
"I'm sorry, but if it is not food you want what is it?" Discovery asked Carl.
"Formula. We need baby formula"
Carl answered.
"You guys have a baby?"
"Look are you gonna help us?"
"Yes. Where you plan to go?"
"We have cleared out all of the houses Around us." Carl said.
"We will be heading north. 15 miles."
Carl continued.
"Okay I expect you lead the way?" Discovery asked Carl.
"Yes you're correct." Carl said.
"Do we really have to do this" J.D Asked his leader, Discovery.
"Yes" He answered.
"Come on J.D! It's for a baby!" His brother Sebastian shouted.
Glenn walks into the room.
"Are you really taking these guys scouting?" He asked Carl.
"Yes!" Carl shouted tired of every one asking.
"Did you find there food?" Carl asked Glenn.
"Yeah, it was just a bunch of fruit and other organics." Glenn answered.
"Are you guys gonna have what you need to come with us?" Carl asked the 3 men.
"Yes" Discovery answered.
"Okay then lets go." Carl said leading out the door.
"We will need out weapons back." Discovery told Carl.
Carl stares at him for what felt like a few Minutes."yeah. Of course." He said.
"Glenn! Get disco and his boys here their fancy sticks."
"Alright. On it!" Glenn said while running to et them back.
"Carl. What's wrong?" Harry asked.
"Nothing I'm fine." Carl's vision suddenly worsened.
"Lets just go." Carl mumbled not really being able to hear his own voice.
"Carl? Look at me!" Harry shouted.
Carl goes to turn his head -and then collapses. "Carl!" Harry said while diving to the ground to see if he was okay."Carl!" He shouted.
"Lets bring him inside!" Disco yelled.
He kneels down and picks up Carl.
" you two stay!" Disco commanded his men.
"Which way?!" Disco asked Harry.
"This way come on!" Harry screamed while running in front.
Glenn is bringing their weapons out when he sees disco carrying an un-conscious Carl.
Glenn drops the bowstaffs. And equips his Gun and aims it at Disco.
"What the hell is going on?!" He shouts.
"Glenn no! Carl just collapsed!" We got to get him inside!"
"Then come on!" Glenn said while holstering his gun.
The three of them run inside.
On their way through the first door Harry screamed "open that god damn door now!"
By the time they reached it one of them had it open.
"Oh my god is he okay?" David asked.
"What's wrong?" Max asked.
"Fuck! did he do this?" Jarrod asked while aiming his gun at Disco.
"No! Harry shouted. He just collapsed!"
"Get him on the bed!" Maggie shouted.
When Disco lays Carl on the bed they notice Carl grabbing his side.
"Help me get his shirt off!" Maggie yelled. They get his shirt off.
And they are surprised to see Carl's torso looked like there was an infection. It was all black and blue.
"What is going on?" Sarah said coming back from getting all the supplies from cell block C.
"Oh my god! Carl! What happened!?"
"He just collapsed and now we found this." Maggie said.
"Did he tell you about any of this?"
"No he never said a word about it!"
"What is it? David asked."
"It could be an infection."
"Are we gonna be able to fix him?" David asked.
"There's no way we can fix an infection of this magnitude." Maggie told the truth.
David hugs Sarah. " Sarah I'm so scarred!"
David said.
"Me too." Sarah said.
Sebastian and J.D walk in.
"Is he okay?" They ask Disco.
"I said to wait out side." Disco replied.
"Wait" Sebastian says looking over at Carl.
"You know what that is right?"
"Sebastian. Outside now."
"No wait!" Maggie said.
"Do you know what's wrong with him?" She asked.
"Well." He said while look towards his brother J.D
"A few years ago the same thing happened to our mom." Sebastian said.
"What is it?"
"Well when it happened to her, the doctors said that her appendix burst, and because she didn't come in right away an infection started growing."
"How did they fix her?" David asked.
"Well she had surgery, and they got most of the infection out then. "
Sebastian answered.
"Then she was on antibiotics for a few weeks until it all cleared up." J.D added.
"Well what did they do for the surgery?" Maggie asked.
"That's really all we know" Sebastian said.
"Okay enough now. Now back outside" Disco told the brothers.
"Thank you." Maggie said.
Sebastian and his brother just kept walking because they knew it would cause anger to Discovery if they turned around.
"So, what do we do?" Jarrod asks.
"I may know someone can help." Disco said.
"I'm fine" Carl said waking up.
"Carl!" Sarah said.
Carl try's to sit up. But Maggie doesn't let him.
"I need to go, we need formula." Carl said.
"No. You're not going anywhere!" Maggie said.
"Judy needs formula!" Carl said.
"I can go. I'll take my men." Disco said.
"But wait, what about your friend?" Maggie asked.
"Friend?" Disco replied.
"You said you knew someone who could help Carl!"
"He is no friend. But he is doctor."
Disco said.
"Okay where do we find him?"
"You no find him, I find him."
"NO!" Carl shouted followed by coughing.
"You need to get formula then find him." Carl told Disco.
"Yes sir. It is your call." Disco agreed.
"What if I get the formula?" Harry asked.
"Harry!" Max shouted.
"No Harry. This would be your first time back out there. I wanted you to go with me." Carl explained.
"But I'll be with his guys!" Harry said while pointing to Disco.
"We don't even know them" Carl said.
"I'll go with them." Max said.
"Are you sure?" Carl asked.
"Yes, me and Harry will go with those two idiots to get formula while this idiot gets you a doctor" Max explained.
"Okay, I've already talked to Harry and he knows where to go and what to do. Right Harry?"
"Yes I know exactly what to do." Harry answered.
"Okay, Harry will be giving the orders, I know you're not gonna want to take orders from your little brother, but you are gonna have to if you want to do this." Carl explained to Max.
"I trust him." Max says.
"Same goes for your men." Carl said to Discovery.
"Tell them thy are going with Max and Harry and they will be taking orders from Harry. Will they respect that?" Carl asked Disco.
"Yes they will." Disco answered.
"Okay go tell them. Then come back and tell me more about this doctor." Carl said.
"Harry, Max go with him so you guys know who you're going with."
"Okay."
"Carl are you in pain?" David asked.
"No I barley feel a thing." Carl said.
"David, can I speak to you for a minute." Sarah asked.
"Yeah sure."
David said while following Sarah out of the Cell.
"Okay I know you were with Carl yesterday."
"Uhh. I'm sorry! He was hurt and- and- I just-"
"It doesn't matter." Sarah interrupted.
"I just want to know if you knew if his stomach looked like that yesterday?" She asked.
" I did.. see his stomach. But If it looked like that I didn't notice it." David explained.
"Alright. I'm just so worried." She said.
"Me too." David said while giving Sarah a hug.
"Excuse me." Disco said wanting someone to unlock the door.
"Oh sorry." David said while going to unlock it.
"Where did Jarrod and Maggie go?" Sarah asked.
"I think they followed Max and Harry Out." David said.
"Oh I didn't even notice." Sarah said.
"Yeah, I really can't seem to focus either right now."
"Lets go see what That guy is telling Carl." David suggests.
"Okay.".
They walk back over to the cell Carl Is in.
"town called Ellijay north from here" discovery said.
"How far?" Carl asked.
"It would take from sunrise to sundown to get there." Discovery explained.
"And this doctor, he was a surgeon?"
"Yes."
"You said he wasn't your friend?"
"No he not."
"Why is that?"
"I only watched I never spoke"
"So what makes you think he's gonna come back with you?"
"I believe he has a family in your group."
"What?! What are you talking about?" Carl asked.
"He had a brother name Charlie." Disco said while looking over toward Sarah.
"What? No. No. My dad didn't have any brothers!" Sarah explained.
"How do you know this if you never spoke to him?" Carl asked Disco.
"Because also i knew Charlie. And you Sarah."
Sarah is speechless.
"Then why doesn't she remember you?" Carl asked him.
"She was very young."
"How did you find her?"
"It was not meant to happen, I only came to realize this when I heard him call her Sarah." Disco explained.
"But I thought you never met the doctor?" Carl asked.
"I didn't. But Charlie mentioned him a lot. And a when our leader Brodie kwon got bit, we did not know how bad it was so we tried to bring him to the doctor. He died before we reached him but I still kept going and I watched the doctor weeks."
Disco explained.
"What is his name?" Carl asked.
"His name is Luke, or ."
"Sarah is it possible maybe your dad just never told you about Luke?"
"He didn't want to tell her because-"
"Hey! I didn't ask you." Carl said.
"Yes course , I am very sorry" disco apologized.
"Carl I really don't know I didn't even talk to my father the last three years of his life." Sarah explained.
"He never mentioned a brother?"
"No! Well not to me."
"Okay, I'm sorry. But, do you think this could be your uncle?"
"I really don't know If you are asking me if you should trust this guy or this doctor, don't. Cause I don't know." Sarah said then walked out of the room.
"Sarah wait!" Carl said trying to stand up.
"No, you stay here. I'll go talk to her." David said.
"Thanks David." Carl said.
"So what would you plan on bringing with to Ellijay?" Carl asked Disco.
"I like if one more comes with, but I'm
Not going to ask that" Disco Replied.
"I'm not gonna ask anyone else to make this trip." Carl said.
"What else would you need?"
"I would like a gun."
"I don't know about that."
"Have you used a gun?"
"No, but by myself it will be difficult to only have my bowstaff."
"If you've never used a gun, I can not give you one. Glenn said all you had was fruit? Will you need other food?"
"No that is all I eat."
"Okay."
David catches up to Sarah.
"Sarah what's wrong?"
"What if he's telling the truth? That I have an uncle out there?"
"Wouldn't that be a good thing?" David asks.
"No! Well i- i mean. I don't know." She said.
"Look, everything's gonna be alright. You're safe with these guys. Wether this man is your uncle or not if he's not safe, they won't let him hurt you. And if he is, then great you have an uncle!" David explained.
"I guess, and we should tell him he has to fix Carl before he can see me."
"Well that would be up to Carl."
"David?" She asked.
"Yeah?"
"What happened to your parents?"
David looks down at the floor.
"I'm sorry! I'm just-"
"No you're fine." David said.
"It's just sad to think about them."David told her.
"You don't have to tell me."
"No, I want to."
"My dad, his name was Jason.
When this all started he got me and my mum and my girl friend to safety.
He was a really brave man."
"What was your mums name?" Sarah asked.
"Casey."
"That's a pretty name. What about your girlfriend?"
"Her name was Saarah actually."
"Oh that's cool." Sarah said smiling.
"Yeah, so my dad, after he got us to safety he went to see if he could save Saarah's dad. " but he never came back."
"I'm so sorry David."
"And my mum, she was with us for a few months but one day walkers got into our house. And we didn't know until it was too late."
"That's terrible."
"And saarah. She was with me until a few weeks before Carl found me."
David is crying.
Sarah gives David a hug.
"I'm so sorry David this new world, it's not fair."
"Thank you Sarah." David said sadly.
"You are the first person to ask about my parents." David said while looking into Sarah's eyes.
"Well in sure Carl wanted to."
"But you Did." David said.
They are both silent, still hugging David leans forward and gives Sarah a kiss.
"What was that for?" Sarah asked.
"For being so kind."
"Thank you." Sarah said while gently pulling away from David now.
Jarrod goes back into Carl.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?"
He asks Carl.
"No, a good idea would be me going. But you guys won't let me. So I guess we're gonna have to do this." Carl said.
"Is he going?" Jarrod asked Carl while pointing at Disco.
"No, he is going to find a doctor." Carl explained.
"Where is that?" Jarrod asked Disco.
"Ellijay. It's a town about-"
"I know where it is." Jarrod interrupts.
"You do?" Carl asked.
"Yeah I've been there a few times." Jarrod answered.
"You wouldn't want to go with him would you? You don't have to."
" I would appreciate you accompanying me." Disco told Jarrod.
"When are you leaving?"
"We haven't discussed that yet." Carl said.
"I'll go." Jarrod said.
"Jarrod if you go, I don't want you using a sword, I want you to have a gun at all times."
"Yes sir."
" I think we leave sooner, better." Disco suggested
"Yes I think you're right." Carl agrees.
"Jarrod get ready to go then send Glenn in here."
"Okay."
A minute or two later Harry, Max ,Sebastion and J.D come into the cell block. "Okay Carl we are ready."
"Alright remember you stop at those houses. If there isn't any formula or food , you come back, don't go further." Carl explained,
"Yes sir." Harry said.
"Then off you go."
The four of them meet Glenn and Jarrod at the gate.
They let them out and they leave.
"Glenn, Carl wants to talk to you."
Jarrod said.
Glenn heads back in to talk to Carl.
"You wanted me?" Glenn asked.
"I just want to explain to you what is going on"
"Alright go for it." Glenn said.
"Well you know Harry and Max just left with Sebastian and J.D. But also, Jarrod is going to be leaving with Discovery to a town a day away, in hope to find Sarah's uncle who is a doctor."
"Sarah's uncle?"
"Yes, now while Harry, Max and Jarrod are gone and i'm stuck in here. I'll need you and Maggie up In those towers.
"Yes sir."
Glenn says just before leaving the cell block. Glenn finds Maggie.
"Do you know what your brother is planning on?"
He asks her.
"Yes, He just told me. I think it is a good idea." Maggie old Glenn.
"Okay I was just making sure you knew." Glenn said.
"Thank you." Maggie told Glenn while they kiss.
Back in the cell with Carl. Judith starts to cry,
"Is that your baby?" Discovery asks Carl.
"Yes, she just woke up."
"I'll get her for you." Disco offered.
"No!" Carl shouted." I can get her." He says.
Carl stands up very slowly you can tell he is now in a lot of pain.
Carl limps over toward the stairs.
Disco try's to help Carl walk.
Carl pushes his hand away.
"I got it!" Carl shouted.
"Yes of course, sorry" Disco apologized.
Carl is half way up the stairs when David comes in shirtless. " Carl what are you doing?!" David shouts while running to him.
"I got to get Judith." Carl says.
"Carl I got her" David said.
"Lets get you back down to bed." David said.
"Sarah!" David shouts.
"Yeah?!" Sarah said coming in.
"Can you grab Judith?" David asked.
"Yeah." She said running up the to her.
David helps Carl lay back down on the bed.
And Sarah brings Judith to David.
"Thank you." David says.
" I tried to stop him." Disco tells them. " he wouldn't listen."
"Thanks, and yeah I believe you" David told Disco.
"You need to get going" Carl told Disco.
"Yes I will go see if Jarrod ready."
Disco said while leaving.
"So he is going to find this doctor?" David asked.
"And he's bringing Jarrod?!" Sarah asked.
"Yes and yes."
"Carl -"
"It's my call." Carl interrupts David.
"I know." David said.
" Sarah, do you mind if I talk to David alone for a minute?"
"No of course not." She said while walking out of the room.
"What is it Carl?"
"Where's your shirt?"
"Carl, come on."
"David, what happened?"
"Nothing happened Carl."
"Sarah!" Carl called back in.
"What is it?"
"Did you and David have sex?"
"What? No! Carl!"
"Then why is his shirt off?"
"Carl nothing happened!" Sarah shouted.
