"We don't burn our own! We bury them!" Everyone stopped what they were doing when they heard Glenn raise his voice. Daryl frowned.

"Don't make a difference what we do. It's safer to burn them."

"No, it does make a difference! We knew them!" Glenn argued.

Daryl rolled his eyes, annoyed. "So what? You gonna risk everyone's life cause you wanna-"

"I agree with Glenn, Daryl." Lori spoke as she walked closer to the two bickering men, her thin arms crossed over her chest.

"Why?! We gotta show them things who's boss! There ain't no laws anymore, there's us and them!"

"Exactly!" Lori yelled. "Exactly." She repeated, her tone softer. "We haven't had a moment since this thing happened to just be normal. We can't even mourn properly. This is the least we can do. We need to bury them with respect."

"Whatever. Now you wanna act all human. You wanna talk about respect?! You people handcuffed my brother to a roof! You reap what you sow man, just keep that in mind." He warned before walking off in a huff.

"Guys! I think Jim's been bit!" Jacque yelled, backing away from the man. Jim held his hands up and shook his head.

"Where you bit Jim?" Rick asked, standing from his seat on the log.

"What? No, I got a scratched. Just a scratch… A scratch…"

Shane stopped tending to the fire and stepped towards Jim. "Let's see then man."

"What for? I'm fine!"

T-dog walked over. "Jim, if you got bit…"

"I didn't!" Jim yelled, backing away from everyone.

"Just show us." Alice begged, praying that it was just a scratch. "Please!"

"No!" Jim raised his shovel and started to swing blindly, but was grabbed from behind by Shane. Daryl pulled Jim's shirt up. Everyone remained silent.

Jim had been bitten.

"Oh, Jim…" Alice whispered.

"So what do we do?" Alice asked softly, messing with a loose string on her tank top. Rick had called for a group meeting. "We can't just kill him."

Daryl rolled his eyes. "Why the hell not? He got bit! Soon he's gonna be coming after us," he waved his rifle around the group. "for a meal."

"We can't just kill him." Rick glanced at Jim, who was sitting by the RV alone. "There has to be another way."

"You gonna take that risk?!" Daryl hissed, pointing his rifle this time in Jim's direction. "You wanna risk your family?"

"I never thought I'd say it, and as much as I hate to admit it, I agree with Daryl." Alice looked at Dale, her eyes wide in shock from his words.

"You think we should kill him, Dale?" she questioned, frowning deeply.

"I think we need to-"

"Why are we even having this conversation? Just put a bullet through his head, and be done with it!"

"Daryl, he's fine for now-"

"Who the hell asked you anyway woman?" he snapped.

Shane stepped towards him. "Hold on now, you can't be talking to my wife that way."

"We ain't got time for all this! I say we kill him now! You can go look for your aspirin, but I'm gonna deal with this problem!"

Daryl quickly aimed his gun at Jim and ran over, ready to shoot. Rick pulled out his gun and aimed at Daryl. Shane followed, ready to back his friend up. Shane grabbed Daryl, pushing his gun to the side while Rick pointed his gun in Daryl's face.

"We don't kill the living!" Rick hissed.

Daryl snarled. "That's funny coming from a man pointing a gun in my face." He pushed Rick's gun out of his face and walked off, but not before glaring at Alice. She frowned, but stayed silent. Rick and Shane walked back to the group.

"Look," Rick started. "I know it's a risk, but I think we should go to the CDC."

Shane frowned. "Whoa, I was with you 'till you said that. What makes you think that's a good idea?"

"Look, maybe they have a cure or something. If the government is still intact, you know the CDC is still up and running. They would protect that."

"What about Fort Benning? It's a military base Rick, you know it's protected!"

"Shane you saw what happened to the military out there!"

"I think it's safer!"

"It's also hundreds of miles away Shane." Lori chimed.

"She's right." Alice bit her lower lip before continuing. "We're low on supplies and gas. We won't make it. The CDC is much closer. Jim needs help. Who would know what to do better than someone at the CDC?"

"You can't be serious- you know what? Do whatever you want."

"Don't be like that brother."

"I don't want to talk about this right now. Come on Rick, let's scout the area."

Shane looked at Lori before walking off. She watched his back, frowning. As the group went their separate ways, she followed Alice. Alice stopped walking when she noticed Lori shadowing her. She turned around meeting the dark haired woman face to face.

"We really should talk Alice." She crossed her arms, looking at the blonde nervously.

"About what?" Alice asked

"Everything." Lori waited for her to speak, but continued when Alice just looked at her. "I… I was mourning over Rick. I was so down and Shane's his best friend. It started off as us just reminiscing about him. I'm so sorry Alice." Her eyes started to water. "I don't know what happened. It just did. I would never hurt you like that on purpose."

"But you did." Alice looked up to the sky to keep her tears from falling. "You slept with my husband until you found out Rick was alive. You looked me dead in my eyes knowing you were screwing my husband."

"It shouldn't have happened, but we didn't do it to hurt you, I promise you that!" Lori tried to reason.

Alice's small frame started to tremble from the built up rage she had been holding in. It was out of her character, but she wanted nothing more than to sock Lori in the mouth so she could stop trying to justify what she did. Her fist balled up. "Stop doing that."

"Doing what?" the other woman asked, unaware of Alice's violent thoughts.

"Stop trying to make what you did seem ok. You fucked my husband." Her lips tingled from swearing. "You fucked him over and over and you knew it would hurt me! After all the times he cheated on me and I went to you… You turned out to be the one I should have been watching out for the most." She hissed before turning her heels and swiftly walking to the RV.

Lori stood glued to her spot, staring at where Alice had been a moment ago. She hadn't expected that reaction. Alice had only cursed once since she knew the woman and that was when she went into labor with Carl. A large part of her figured she would apologize to Alice and everything would go back to normal. That was how it usually worked when she and Alice got into a disagreement. Even though she would go back to her tent and lick the verbal wounds Alice had inflicted upon her, Lori figured she would try another day. It had been a stressful day after all. That had to be it.
