Chapter 6
Following Shane up the hill side to take care of my cheek and jaw, as Amy and Andrea went fishing.
When we reached camp Shane turned to see who had been following him.
Looking at my cheek and jaw he sighed and shook his head.
"Take a seat over there Shelby. I'll get the first aid kit; see what I can do about your jaw."
Nodding I sat down near one of the fires, and watched Shane climb in the RV and back out carrying the little white box. Sitting in front of me, he turned my head to get a better look at my jaw.
"Thanks for earlier."
"Earlier?"
"For beatin the hell out of Ed. Bastard deserved it."
"He got you pretty good Cobra."
"Guess I shouldn't have stepped in like I did."
"You wouldn't have this black eye forming if you hadn't."
I laughed as he continued to take care of my cheek and eye.
Watching Dale make his way up to Jim who was doing something high up on one of the hills, I decided to try and befriend the deputy that invited me and my brother into this camp.
"So how do you know that Rick Grimes guy?"
"We've been friends since childhood."
"Would he handcuff my brother without a good reason?"
"No, he wouldn't."
I sighed as he finished and looked me in the eye.
"I'm sorry about your brother Shelby."
"It's alright; I know he can get out of hand at times."
Shane smiled at me as he went to put the first aid kit back.
I laughed as I saw Amy and Andrea walk back with a bunch of fish that they had caught.
We all laughed and thank them both, they told us to thank Dale.
Shane walked out of the RV and offered me a hand to stand up; laughing I gladly took it, not missing how close we were.
As Dale was walking up to the group Andrea was giving him a hard time.
"Hey Dale when did you last oil those line reels they are a disgrace."
"I uh, I don't wanna alarm anyone but we may have a bit of a problem."
He turned and pointed at Jim as Shane and I came to stand next to him.
Everyone followed Dale up the hill to see Jim digging a bunch of holes everywhere.
Shane looked around for a couple of seconds before he started talking.
"Hey Jim, why don't you hold up and give us a second here please?"
Jim stopped and looked at us, obviously out of breath.
"What do you want?"
"Just a little concerned man that's all."
"Dale says you've been out here for hours."
Jim looked at Dale; if looks could kill Dale would be six foot under.
"So?"
"So why you out here diggin? What, you headed to China? Jim what you?"
"What does it matter, I'm not hurtin anyone?"
"Yeah except maybe yourself, its a hundred degrees today you can't keep this up."
"Sure I can! Watch me!"
I looked at over at Lori, getting a little concerned at the attitude Jim had all of a sudden.
"Jim there not gonna say it so I will, your scarin people. You're scarin my son, and Carol's daughter."
"They got nothing to be scared of, I mean what the hell people I'm out here by my self, why don't yall just go and leave me the hell alone."
"We think that you need to take a break. Ok? Why don't you get some shade, some food? I tell ya what I'll come out here in a little bit and I'll even help ya myself, Jim just tell me what this is about. Why don't you just go ahead and give me that shovel?"
"Or what?"
"There is no or what. I'm askin you, I am commin to you and I am askin you please. I don't wanna have to take it from you."
"And if I don't then what? Then you gonna beat my face in like you did Eds'? Yall seen his face huh? What's left of it. See that's what happens when someone crosses you."
"That was different Jim."
"You weren't there Ed was out of control he was hurting his wife."
"That is their marriage that is not his. He is not judge and jury, who voted you king boss huh?"
"I'm not gonna argue with you aright, so just give me the shovel."
"No,no,no,no."
"Please just give me the shovel?"
As Shane was reaching for the shovel Jim shoved him away, and started swinging the shovel at him.
Shane tackled him to the ground causing Jim to cry out.
"Alright, Alright."
"Jim stop it ok? Hey, hey, hey, Jim no body's gonna hurt you ok?"
I watched as Shane handcuffed Jim.
"It's a lie, it's the biggest lie there is. I told that to my wife and my two boys, I said it a hundred times. It didn't mater. They came out of nowhere, there were dozens of em, just pulled them right out of my hand, the only reason got away was because the dead were to busy eatin my family."
After that we got Jim on his feet and walked him back down the hill, Shane made him sit down against a tree in a lot of shade.
Walking away Shane went to grab some water for Jim, while I stayed close to make sure he didn't try to run off or do something stupid.
When Shane and Dale came back Shane knelt next to Jim with a bucket of water.
"Jim, drink some water."
"Aright."
Shane pulled a cup out of the water and tilted it so Jim could drink some of it.
"Here you go man."
"Mmm, pour some on my head?"
"Yeah."
After Shane poured a bit on Jims head Jim looked at him.
"How long you gonna keep me like this?"
"Well, until I don't think you're a danger to yourself or others."
Jim looked over at Lori and Carol who were helping there kids with school work.
"I'm sorry I scared your boy, and your little girl."
"You had sun stroke nobody's blamin you."
"You're not scared now? Are ya?"
"No sir."
"Your mom's right, just got too much sun is all."
"Jim. They know why you were diggin."
"Had a reason, don't remember. Somethin I dreamt last night."
Dale and I both nodded our heads in understanding.
"Your dad was in it, you were worried about him, can't remember the rest. You worried about your dad?"
"They're not back yet."
"We don't need to talk about that."
"Your dad's a Police Officer son, he helps people, just probably came across some folks needin help that's all. That man, he's tough as nails. I don't know him well but I can see it in him, am I right?"
We all turned to look at Shane.
"Oh yeah."
"There nothing gonna stop him from getting back to you and your mom, I can promise you that."
Shane grabbed the bucket and started walking off.
"Headed to the Quarry, you kids come help me clean some fish."
"Sweet, come on Sophia."
"Stay with Carol."
I laughed as Carol and I followed Shane and the kids down to the quarry, pulling me back and letting the trio get ahead of us Carol started talking to me.
"Thank you, for earlier."
"Earlier?"
"Standing up to Ed, I'm sorry he hit you."
"That was nothing compared to the fights my brother and I used to get into. Just tell me if he ever hits you or Sophia again, I'll set him strait."
"You got it. So, you and Daryl? Or you and Shane which one is it?"
"Only time will tell really. I don't know either of them very well."
"You seemed to know Daryl pretty well when you two came back."
I laughed as we continued to the Quarry.
After a few hours, all the fish were cleaned and we headed back to camp.
I watched as Andrea went into the RV followed closely by Dale.
Moles looked happy with himself.
"I uh, built up the rocks all around, see? So the flames can be a little higher, and have them be hidden."
"Good idea."
I smiled at him as I helped Lori prepare dinner, deciding not to mention Shane to her.
Later that night we were all enjoying the fabulous fish fry, sitting around the nice warm fire.
I was stuck in-between Shane and Andrea.
Moles looked at Dale with a laugh.
"I gotta ask you man, it's drivin me crazy."
"What?"
"That watch."
"What's wrong with my watch."
"I see you everyday, at the same time, winding that watch, like a village priest saying mass."
"I've been wondering about his myself."
"I'm missing the point."
"Unless I've miss read the signs, the world seems to have come to an end. At least hit a speed bump for a good long while."
"There's Dale, every day, winding that stupid watch."
"Time, it's important to keep track insist it? The days at least. Don't you think Andrea, back me up here…I like, I like what the father said to the son when he gave him a watch, that had been handed down threw generations, he said, I give you the mausoleum, of all hope and design, witch will fit your individual needs, no better than it did mine, or my fathers before me, I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you may forget it now and then, and not spend all of your breath tryin to conquer it."
"You are so weird."
We all cracked up at Amy's outburst.
"Not me, that was Falkner, William Falkner, it may be my bad paraphrasing."
Everyone relaxed for a bit, until Amy stood up.
Turning to her Andrea asked her.
"Where are you going?"
"I have to pee, geez you try to be discrete around here."
We all cracked up as she walked over to the RV.
Shane nudge my leg with his when nobody was paying attention.
With a laugh I looked at him, he just smiled at me.
"Can I help you?"
"Nope, just enjoyin the view."
"You're tryin to be charmin."
"Is it workin?"
"Now why would I tell you if it were?"
We both started laughing, hearing a scream we turned around to see a walker tearing into Amy's arm.
Everyone jumped up, Lori and Carol grabbed thier kids to protect them, Shane and I both pulled out our guns and started shooting, the rest of the guys found weapons, and stated taking out walkers, slowly we made our way to the RV, taking out as many walkers as we could. Suddenly we heard shooting, and Rick appeared out of the bushes, followed by the rest of our small group.
Finally it was over, we had killed all the walkers that had come into our camp.
Daryl walked up to me and pulled me to him.
"Were you bit?"
"No. You?"
"No."
"What happened out there?"
"We got to the building where they were hand cuffed, but neither of them were still there, they cut off thier hands to get away."
I nodded and looked behind me to see Andrea kneeling next to Amy, and Shane making it a point not to look at us.
Realizing that Amy was dead, I clung to Daryl as I let myself cry over my now dead friend, and my two friends that were now one handed and lost.
