Before Rick can question Michonne further there's a knock at the bedroom door.
He goes to open the door and sees Daryl standing there with a couple of the solar lanterns that were being used by Bob and Sasha, "What is it," he asks knowing the answer would be bad.
"Rick we have to move now, and I mean right now. There's a storm coming and it looks pretty bad. I-47 must be pretty damn bad cause the storm drains are are beginning to spill water on to the street. I already told Bob and Sasha to get Rosita ready to travel. How's Michonne doing?"
Rick and Daryl looks over at Michonne whose still crying and hugging Judith. Rick pinches the bridge of his nose then looks back at Daryl and says, "I guess she's alright. Listen, if anybody from the block is following us over to the motel I want you to put them in the west wing of the motel…I can't deal with any stranger being close to our group right now. I feel bad enough as it is with the last bunch I let in."
Daryl nods his head in agreement then starts walking down the hall to help move Rosita.
"On the way out make sure we stop to collect all the weapons and food out of Jane's house." Rick tells him.
Rick closes the door and pauses momentarily; then he opens the closet door and begins grabbing stuff and placing them in army bags.
Michonne looks over at him packing and instantly accepts her reality again. She sniffles a little while pulling away from Judith to ask, "What's going on?"
Rick comes out of the closet and says, "While you..." he sisn't even want to think about what happened the day before, "...yesterday I found out that I-47 is river, now Daryl says there's a serious storm coming…we have to leave right now." He goes back to packing in the closet.
"Is Rosita…" Michonne starts to ask.
"She's here, and she's stable for the time being but, Bob and Sasha gotta operate to get the bullet out of her shoulder." He yells from the closet.
"What about Abe and …", Rick comes out of the closet slowly once more and cuts her off, "You don't have to worry about them anymore."
She goes to push herself up and out of the bed but her arms hurt too bad, "Shit," she turns around to Judith to apologize for the swear, "sorry Mommy."
Rick comes back out of the closet upon hearing Michonne swear, "No, Chonne' please just wait there…let me finish cleaning out this closet and I will help you get dressed."
"I can dress myself Rick." She says with irritation.
Rick closes his eyes shakes his head in annoyance because he doesn't want to have a fight, "Chonne…just please wait there; your arms are really weak right now." he pleads
Knowing that he's right about her arms; she sits and waits on the bed pissed off at the fact that once again she can't do for herself and that she's totally dependant on someone else.
Daylight is breaking as Maggie and Carl go to warn the people in the block about the storm and how their group was getting ready to leave. On the way back to Daryl's, Maggie and Carl remember that they haven't warned the next door neighbor, Ed.
As they get closer to Ed's house Maggie grabs Carl's arm, "You go tell him about it, I might to shoot him in the face."
Carl looks at her silly knowing that Hershel told her about him killing that kid when the Governor attacked the prison the first time, "You better go tell him cause I will shoot him in the face after what he said about Michonne."
Maggie goes up to his front door and knocks when Ed opens the door, his face display a disgusting grin, "To what do I owe the pleasure of…"
With a stern look on her face Maggie cuts him off, "There's a storm coming and it's about to flood the block." She turns around and starts walking back over to Daryl's.
Carl stands on the sidewalk staring at Ed as he closes the door, then he starts running back to Daryl's.
Rick finally comes out of the closet with the army bags and couple of old gym bags; he opens the bedroom door, "Carl." He yells.
Carl comes up stairs, "Start taking these bags and put them in the back of the SUV", Rick tells him. "Then come back and grab your sister."
Rick grabs a sweat suit he left in the closet for Michonne; when he walks over to her he kneels down in front of her and pauses momentarily before lifting and placing her legs in to the pants, "So do you want to tell me why you were crying a few minutes ago?"
She sighs, "It was nothing."
Rick can hear in her voice that she's about to shut him out again; he places his hands under her arms and lifts her up to pull the pants up to her waist then he gently places her arms in the jacket. Looking her in those hypnotic sparkly brown eyes he says, "If we're gonna do this Chonne'… you can't shut me out whenever you want to."
Michonne turns away from his trustful deep sea eyes but, he maneuvers his head so that their eyes stay locked on one another, "Sweetheart...you've got to atleast make an effort...put some type of fidelity in to this." He tells her.
She sighs once but this time she says, "I just thought…" she says nonchalantly, "…I was somewhere else."
He zips up her jacket and grabs her boots and places them on her feet, "…with Andre'?" he asks.
She unwillingly shakes her head yes.
He knows that this particular subject was difficult for her to discuss and he really couldn't talk about it with her right now. So he lovingly embraces her; placing her head on his shoulders and she stnad still with Rick in silence for a few moments. Something that she could bring her self to do a month and a half ago.
Judith climbs down from the bed and starts to hug Rick's leg; they both look down at Judith and smile at her wanting to join in the hug as well.
He looks back at Michonne and kisses her on the lips, "We'll talk about once we get settled at the motel alright?"
She gives him a somber smile and says, "O.k."
Glenn backs the pick-up truck to the house just as Bob and Maggie come out the front door with the twin mattress from one of the bedrooms and places it in the flatbed. Tyreese and Daryl carry Rosita's body out and place her on the mattress; Bob places two ratcheting cables around Rosita to hold her in place on the mattress; then he gets out of the flatbed to help Daryl with attaching the tarp to the flatbed so that she's protected in case it begins to rain.
Just as Sasha is about to climb in to the flatbed with Rosita; Bob stops her, "No, I'll sit in the back with Rosita you sit upfront with Glenn and Maggie."
Sasha looks at him, "Bob you just gave blood a few hours ago, you need to…"
He cuts her off, "Sasha, I got this. Just sit up front and take a rest."
The impending storms winds start picking up and the storm drains start to forcefully push wateron to the block creating a small pool of water at the end of the block by the barricade.
By the time Rick and his group are ready to leave they have at least five or six cars of families that plan on leaving with them. Daryl and Tyreese are in the moving truck; Glenn, Maggie, Sasha, Bob and Rosita are in the pick-up truck and Rick, Michonne, Carl and Judith are in the SUV.
Right before the convoy leaves the block for the last time Daryl stops the truck and gets out in order to open the barricade.
He waves his hand to Tyreese to come out to help retrieve the weapons, food and other supplies from Jane's house. Once they come back out the two start placing the items in the back of the truck all the while they try to maintain their balance as the wind become stronger.
Before Daryl gets back in the truck he takes one last look over at the house where they buried Carol's body in the backyard. He feels for Carol's Budk Military Warrior knife in his pocket for a small amount of comfort then looks down at the asphalt watching the steady stream of flood water as it runs down to the growing pool of water at the bottom of the block.
He opens the door to the moving truck and begins to drive out of the cul de sac with what's left of the prison group following behind as they change lodges.
