Chapter 5
Daryl was bidding his time, and trying to figure just how he was going to introduce himself to her. She was safe for the moment. Ed the asshole was in jail. He should have known that fate would send her to him unexpectedly.
He was working in the shop two days later when a knock sounded at the shop door. A tall gangly looking sheriff, was at the door.
"Can I help you officer?" He asked leaning against the frame of the doorway to the shop. He knew why the officer was there, Daryl had already been bombarded with his thoughts.
"I'm Rick Grimes, I'm a deputy sheriff with the Allenville PD." The officer said.
"I know." Daryl smirked.
"You do?" He asked his eyes quirking.
"Yeah...it's on you're badge, Come on in officer." He said opening the door to the shop.
Rick sat at a stool in the shop as Daryl went back to a set of headers he was working on.
"You might as well ask officer, you know you want to." Daryl said without turning his back.
"Alright...did you call our department with an anonymous tip two nights ago?" Rick asked.
"Yup." He answered without turning.
"Yup...that's all you got to say? ". Rick huffed.
"What do you want me to say?" Daryl asked.
"Maybe how you knew? " Rick asked "you saved her life."
"Why does it matter? She's alive ain't she?" Daryl asked.
Rick was silent for minute, "My mom, she used to tell me stories about a girl in her class, said she knew things, like when stuff was going to happen. She said it was eery how accurate it was. My mom lost touch with her, heard she moved to this county, and married a Dixon." Rick said. "That sound familiar to you?"
Daryl huffed "Pfft, bet you believe in blood sucking dogs too." He said as he continued to work.
"That ain't what I asked." Rick said.p
Daryl turned around in a huff sticking his fingers I his armpits. "Look officer this don't seem like very official questions." He growled.
"They ain't" Rick said nodding.
"I just knew alright...why does it matter?" He asked staring at Rick.
"Because she wants to meet you, and she's been through enough if you're some lackey of Ed's that grew a conscience..,...but you're not, are you?" Rick asked.
"No, where is she?" Daryl asked. He suddenly needed to see her like his next breath.
"Can I bring her back here this afternoon?" Rick asked and he nodded" You should know, she has questions." Rick warned.
"For her, I'll answer."
