Chapter 4

The group is still in the truck, Sam sat across from her brother, with Andrea on her right. Everyone still seems guilty at the fact that they left Merle behind. T-Dog looks especially broken up seeing as he's the one who dropped the key.

"Best not to dwell on it." says Morales, "Merle got left behind. Nobody's gonna be sad he didn't come back... Except maybe Daryl."

"Daryl?" Rick asks, eyebrow raised.

"His brother." he explains.

"The guy has a brother?" asks Devin, and everyone nods.

"Oh god." mutters Sam.

Behind them, the group hears Glenn in his car. He speeds past them and continues to holler about much fun he's having.

"At least somebody's having a good day." says Morales.

It doesn't take long for the group to arrive at the camp, and for everyone to start piling out. "Come meet everybody." Morales says to Rick, Devin, and Sam, before walking over to Dale.

"You are a welcome sight." He says as the two of them hug. "I thought we had lost you folks for sure."

Shane walks up to them, "How'd y'all get out there anyway?" he asks.

"New guy.. he got us out."

"New guy?"

"Yeah, there's him and two others, actually. Hey, you three! Come say hello."

The three of them get out of the truck and awkwardly look around.

"The guy in the hat? He's a cop like you." Morales says. "Those two, pretty sure they were criminals but we basically signed their death certificates when we showed up, so we owed them." he shrugged when Shane raised his eyebrows. Rick, Sam, and Devin walk up and Shane is the first to see them. He forces a smile at Rick when he sees him before look at the other two, and his eyes go wide with recognition.

"This isn't awkward at all." Devin mutters to Sam, noticing Shane glaring at them.

Sam looks up and takes a second before recognizing him, "Oh my god," she whispers back, looking straight back at glaring former police officer, who began making their way over to them. Sam watched him with a small wavering smirk, when he got stopped by Rick, who looked happy to see him. The two of them greeted each other, before Shane looked back over at Devin and Sam, who hadn't moved. Rick turned around, following his gaze, and the same stony expression as his friend appeared on his face, just as quickly as Sam could blink. She smiled awkwardly at them, and gave a small wave.

The two former police officers frowned at each other, "What the hell are we supposed to do with them here?" Shane asked, under his breath as if the two criminals could hear them from the distance away they were standing. Rick just looked frustrated, when he turned so his back was also to them, and shook his head, not knowing either.

"We could give them a chance?" Rick suggested, but Shane's shocked face made him grimace. "Look, as much as I would love to throw them in jail right now," he shook his head, almost looking angry, "We can't."

Shane sighed turning around to study the new arrivals. "Alright, but if they steal anything..." he said with a warning look, before walking off. Rick watched him leave, before sighing and looking around himself at the campsite these people had made for themselves, before returning to his wife and son.

Later that night, the group, including Sam, Devin, and Rick are sitting around a fire.

"Disoriented. I guess that comes closest. Disoriented. Fear, confusion.. all those things but.. Disoriented comes closest." Rick says, talking about when he first woke up in the hospital after being in a coma.

"Words can be meager things." says Dale. "Sometimes they fall short."

"I felt like I'd been ripped out of my life and put somewhere else. For awhile I thought I was trapped in some coma dream, something I might not wake up from ever."

"Mom said you died." said Rick's son, Carl.

"She had every reason to believe that. Don't you ever doubt it." says Rick.

"When things started to get really bad, they told me at the hospital that were gonna medevac you and the other patients to Atlanta, and it never happened." says his wife, Lori.

"Well, I'm not surprised after Atlanta fell."

"Yeah."

"And from the look of that hospital, it got overrun."

"Yeah, looks don't deceive. I barely got them out, you know?" says Shane.

"I can't tell you how grateful I am to you, Shane. I can't begin to express it."

"There go those words falling short again. Paltry things." says Dale as Rick's gaze returned to Sam and Devin sitting beside each other not too far away. He muttered a curse before nodding to himself, Shane, and his wife before walking over to them.

Sam, having heard someone approaching them, looked up from where she was sitting. "Hello," she said with a innocent smile as Devin crossed his arms in front of his chest, giving Rick a stony glare. When it came to talking to people, Sam was always the expert. She knew how people worked, and could tell when they were lying and could stay calm while talking to the authority or getting the two of them out of the holes they rarely dug themselves. Devin, well, he was the expert at planning, and figuring easy access points in buildings. He rarely got his hands dirty, he was normally the one waiting in the getaway car. "Rick, right?" Sam asked.

Rick nodded, "Sam, right?" he asked, but his tone of voice dripping with sarcasm. He knew who she was, and she knew who he was. He knew what she was doing.

Sam huffed, blowing hair out of her face in the process. "Yeah," she said with a shrug, "Sam, Samantha, whatever you want." smirking, she remembered her alias. "It's not Jennifer though." she almost laughed when Rick sighed. "What's up?"

"I know this group," Rick started, using his hands to gesture to the people around them, "figured they owed you for attracting the walkers to the store you were staying at,..."

"That was technically you..." Sam muttered, but he didn't hear her.

"But," Rick continued, "They might trust you, but I don't." he pointed over to Shane who was talking to Ed about putting too many logs on his fire. "he doesn't either. So if you're even thinking about stealing anything from these people..." he shook his head. "Don't."

Sam look to Devin who almost looked as if he was trying not to laugh. "What?" she asked.

"Sure we might've stolen some pretty expensive things," said Devin, looking up at Rick, "But we're not heartless. Look at these people," he said and they looked around at them. "They're scared and basically defenseless why would we take their stuff? Where would we go, anyway? Christ, just lay off." and with that Devin stood up and walked into the tent the group had given the two of them.

Sam looked up at Rick, "What he said." she smiled innocently, standing up so she was right in front of him. She patted him awkwardly on the chest before following after her brother.

In case you were wondering i mostly mean for my chapters to be short. Just so I can get them up faster, or so you don't have to read a shit ton because i know a lot of people don't like that. but if you do please tell me and i'll gladly make the chapters longer even if they'll take longer to post.
