Carol felt empty. Her Little girl was missing and it was her fault. She wasn't near her.

'I couldn't do anything' she thought as covering her eyes with her hands.

Daryl stared at her. That was it, people's kids couldn't be missing like that. He got to go find Susa… sorry, Sophia. Andrea patted Carol's back, don't knowing what to say. She sighed. Dale looked at her.

'what's wrong?' the old man asked.

'Are you fucking serious , Dale?' Andrea brushed her hair with her hands, looking nervous 'We didn't find Susan, and now Sophia is also missing and Carl's been shot!'

'What about going to sleep? huh?' Daryl asked 'some rest will do the trick Carol, I'm sure we will find her tomorrow, then we'll go meet Rick, Lori, Glenn, T-dog and Shane at that Cowboy girl's house and see how is Carl doing '

Carol nodded.

'That sounds just fine' she tried to smile but failed drastically.

After a few minutes, they were already inside the motorhome. Apparently, Daryl was the only one trying to get some sleep: Carol was weeping like a child, making an awful sound; and Andrea was trying to load a weapon but the bullets wouldn't stop falling from her hands. Feeling really frustrated, Daryl took his crossbow and told Carol he was going to look for Sophia. Andrea joined him, despite Daryl's desires to be by his own. When they entered the woods, after a while, Andrea started to talk.

'Daryl?' she whispered.

'Huh?'

'May I ask you a question?'

'Go ahead'

'Susan…' Andrea started.

He closed his eyes very strongly, trying not to cry and after a couple of seconds, he nodded, inviting her to go on.

'How was she?'

Daryl smiled.

'She was the most wonderful child in the world. Well, she was not a child… she used to get really upset when I called her like that. She loved to read. She loved her mom and … yes, I think she loved me…'

Andrea smiled as well and then moved her head to the left.

'C'mon let's keep looking for them…'

'Them?' a little hope was being born on Daryl's eyes.

'Yeah…'

Glenn and T-dog finally reached that farm. A girl was staring right at them from the porch.

As they got nearer to the house, they noticed she was a young girl, maybe a teenager, with a long caramel hair that reached her waist; her tanned skin was a little bit lighter than her hair. She had a rounded face, her eyes were green and her cheeks were red because of being exposed all day long to the sunlight.

'Did you close the door?' she shouted, her voice was low, but it was still very charming.

'Yeah we did…'

'Are you Rick's friends?' at this point, Glenn and Theodore were already by her side.

'Yes… I'm Glenn and this dude is T-dog…'

'Hey'

'Hello' the girl said.

'we were wondering if your people could treat his wound' Glenn pointed at T-dog's gash.

'Oh… of course! Come on in, make yourself at home… my name is Susan…'

Glenn opened his eyes a lot and he was just about to ask her the obvious question, when T-dog punched his back softly.

'Come on, man, let's get in the house'

The night went on easily, T-dog was feeling really nice, his wound didn't hurt anymore. In the morning, the rest of the group arrived to the farm.

'Morning!'

Noah opened his eyes when he heard Susan's voice.

'Hmmm' Noah complained, expressing his desire to sleep a little bit more.

Susan was fighting with a boot that wouldn't let her foot in, when they heard a sound coming from the outside. Noah got up and looked through the window.

'Newcomers?' his voice sounded really awful.

'Yeah, those guys… the ones with the kid being shoot and the black one with the big gash'

Noah nodded after yawning for a while.

'C'mon, get dressed, and then we will join them and introduce ourselves. They may be some cute girls there' her feet were finally in place, so she proceeded to brush her hair.

'Don't be silly…' Noah hugged her from her back and kissed her in the neck 'you're the only one'

'That was nice, but please, get ready… you lazy ass!'

Susan took her quiver and then heard Maggie's voice 'They are here!'

Noah saw Susan's expression so, he took his shirt and shorts.

'Ready…'

The new ones were leaving their vehicles.

Maggie looked at Glenn. That boy was cute and seemed to be the most normal of them all. Herschell observed that entire group of people… he hoped they didn't think they would stay for a long time… Beth hoped Susan and Noah would join them soon, they looked dangerous.

Daryl was getting off his motocycle, with the crossbow on his back, waiting for any sign of an unsafe situation. Susan dragged Noah through the door, she was anxious and she didn't even know why. Daryl looked at that girl, he couldn't see her face, just her hair. It reminded so much of Susan's… and that… quiver?! Was that a quiver? Daryl's heart almost stopped, he got a few feet closer, tense and excited. Then he saw her face, her beautiful face, and her freckles. She was his little girl.

He stood still in place, wondering if he was dreaming. Andrea noticed how shocked Daryl looked.

'Daryl? Is everything okay?' she asked.

'Susan…' he whispered, without taking his eyes out of his daughter.

Andrea looked at the teenager, she looked just like him and suddenly she felt happier than ever.

'Susan!' Andrea screamed, moving her arms as she was crazy.

Susan's eyes were full of tears after a second. She recognized him in an instant, the crossbow, the hair, his eyes, the way his clothes looked.

'Dad' she whispered and started running.

The hug seemed to be eternal.

'Finally…' Andrea thought.
