Rick told us about his plan and on one like it. We got back to the store and gave us outfits and accessories. "If bad ideas were an Olympic event, this would take the gold," Glenn said. "He's right. Just stop, okay? Take some time to think this through," Morales said.
"How much time? They already got through one set of doors, that glass won't hold forever," Rick said and we all put on trench coats and rubber gloves. Rick and Morales rushed outside and dragged one of the walkers Morales and T-Dog killed, into the store and then Glenn shut the door.
Rick grabbed a fire axe and we all stood around the dead walker. Rick was prepared to start chopping the walker, but he stopped at the last moment. He took off the rubber gloves and got down and searched the walker. He pulled out a wallet.
"Wayne Dunlap. Georgia license. Born in 1979," Rick said and he handed Glenn the card. "He had $28 in his pocket when he died . . . And a picture of a pretty girl. "With love, from Rachel." He used to be like us . . . Worrying about bills or the rent or the Super Bowl. If I ever find my family, I'm gonna tell them about Wayne," Rick said.
"One more thing . . . He was an organ donor," Glenn said. After a moment of silence, Rick put on the rubber gloves and started to hack away at the walker. The guts really gross everyone out and we start to gag.
"Keep chopping," Rick said and he handed the axe to Morales. Glenn groans. "I am so gonna hurl," He said. "Later," Rick said. Morales hacked away. "Everybody got gloves? Don't get any on your skin or in your eyes," Rick said. We started to put some guts on Rick and Glenn. "Oh God! Oh jeez. Oh, this is bad. This is really bad," Glenn complained.
"Think about something else . . ." Rick said. "Puppies and kittens," I said and Rick nodded. "Dead puppies and kittens," T-Dog said, which made Glenn vomited. "That is just evil. What is wrong with you?" Andrea asked Rick. "Next time let the cracker beat his ass," Jacqui said.
"You suck," Glenn said to Rick. "Do we smell like them?" Rick asked. "Yeah," I conformed. Andrea took off one glove. "Glenn," She said as she pulled out her gun and showed it to him. "Just in case." Andrea gave the gun to Glenn. "If we make it back, be ready," Rick said.
"What about Merle Dixon?" T-Dog asked. Rick took off one glove and then pulled out a key and tossed it to T-Dog. "Give me the axe," Rick said and Morales did. "We need more guts." And with that, Rick started to chop again.
Morales opened the back door for Rick and Glenn. They both walked out and left. Morales closed the door. "Okay, let's go up," He said and the rest of us rushed to the roof.
We got to the roof. "Hey, what's happening, man?" Merle asked but we ignored him and rushed to look for Rick and Glenn. "Hey, T-Dog, try that C.B," Morales said. "Hey, come on. Talk to me, y'all," Merle said but we continued to ignore him. "Base camp, this is T-Dog. Anybody hear me? Can anybody out there hear me?" T-Dog asked.
I used the binoculars and spotted Rick and Glenn. "There," I said and handed the binoculars to Morales. Suddenly we heard thunder rumbles. "That asshole is out on the street with the handcuff keys?" I heard Merle ask but we ignored him. I looked at T-Dog and saw he was showing the key to Merle.
Andrea was looking through the binoculars and then handed them to Morales. While Rick and Glenn continue to shuffle down the street, rain started to fall. "Oh man," Morales said. "It's just a cloudburst. We get 'em all the time. It'll pass real quick."
Morales handed me the binoculars and I looked at Rick and Glenn. The rain was starting to wash of the guts and the walkers started to get a little more aggressive towards Rick and Glenn as if they try to figure out if they are dead or alive.
As more guts wash off, the walkers realized that they were indeed alive. One of them started to charge at them and Rick proceeded to crush its skull with the axe. Then Rick and Glenn took off down the street with Rick killing more with the axe and Glenn killing with a crowbar he had.
"They in trouble!" I said, panicking and worried at the same time. I gave Morales the binoculars as Andrea wrapped her arms around my shoulder, trying to calm me. "Come on, come on, come on," Morales said.
Rick and Glenn throw their weapons over the fence and climb over it before the walkers were able to get them. While Glenn got to the truck, Rick pulled out a pistol, what he took from Merle and kill more walkers with it. Glenn found the keys to the truck and throw them to Rick.
They entered the truck as some walkers started climbing over the fence and running after them. One of them reaches the truck and taps on Glenn's window. The two speed away before the walkers catch up and the rain had stopped.
"They're leaving us," Andrea said. "What? What?" Merle asked. "Where they going? Where they going?" Morales asked. "No no, come back," Andrea said. Rick and Glenn wouldn't leave us. I knew Rick and he wouldn't do it. "They wouldn't leave us," I said.
After a few minutes, we heard Glenn's voice from the walkie-talkie, "Those roll-up doors at the front of the store facing the street . . . Meet us there and be ready." I smiled and turned to Andrea. "I told you," I said and she smiled. We took the bags and then Andrea grabbed my hand and we all headed down towards the loading dock to make our escape.
"Come on! Let's go, let's go!" Morales said. "Hey, you can't leave me here! I'm not fooling, man! Morales! Hey, man! Don't do this!" Merle yelled. "Come on," Andrea said. Her, Jacqui and I left the roof. "Morales, come on," I called while Andrea pulled me with her. "I'm coming!" Morales called and then rushed behind us.
We all got to the loading dock. "Okay. Okay. I got it," Andrea said as we all grubbed the chain. "Shh," Morales said. "What is it?" I asked and then I heard a car engine revs.
After a few seconds, T-Dog rushed over to us. "They're here! Let's go! They're in here!" Rick banged on the door. "Let's go! Open the door!" We all opened the door. "We've gotta go!" T-Dog said. We all throw the bags in while Rick rushed to the driver seat.
Then, Jacqui, me, Andrea, T-Dog and then Morales got in. "I'm in!" Morales said as I sat closer to Andrea and she wrapped her arms around me. Morales closed the back before the walkers can get to us and we make it. We all sighed in relief. I dropped my head on Andrea and I felt her head on mine.
Morales sat on the passenger seat and I noticed Merle wasn't here with us. I know everyone ales noticed it now. "I dropped the damn key," T-Dog said. We know there was nothing that we could do, so we drove away from Atlanta.
I noticed Glenn wasn't around as well. "Where's Glenn?" I asked. "Don't worry," Rick said, slipping a small smile. "He's fine."
