Behind Prison Walls

This chapter isn't going to really start off on a nice note. There's a few things I have to adjust to compensate for Rick sort of losing his mind in the show and such. Also I had a thought in my head, some more stuff for Bo since she's fairly mysterious lol.

"Let me look!" Bo snapped, forcing T-Dog to face her as he looked frantically around the corridor they were currently in, alarms blaring off around them.

"I know it ain't good, Bo." T-Dog stated. Bo looked hopelessly at his face before looking back at the bite on his shoulder. She couldn't even pull off what they had done for Hershel. The bite was too close to T-Dog's head and there was no way he would survive her cutting off what needed away. He frowned and shoved her along as walkers rounded a corner and spotted them. "Go on! We can't stand here!"

They ran down the corridor and fell through a set of double doors before shooting backwards and leaning on them just as the walkers started to push through. Bo gritted her teeth as she leaned on the door and frowned, watching T-Dog wavering.

"T! Hey! I need you, keep it together a little longer!" The med student demanded.

"I'm not gonna hold out longer." T-Dog informed her. Bo stared at him. "This is it for me, Bo. You go, get your ass away from here, find the others." He grabbed at her shirt and hauled her away from the doors before leaning fully on both of them. Bo stumbled and looked back at him, eyes widening as the doors opened slightly, arms coming through. "GO!"

Bo bit down on her lip before taking off across the room. She could hear the scream behind her from when the walkers finally got T-Dog and she leaned against a wall, eyes squeezed shut as she fought back the guilt that was piling up from leaving him. T-Dog had been there almost the whole walker mess. After Bo had gotten Glenn, it wasn't long before their car had broken down and then T-Dog had saved them. Even Shane had made the remark of them being a trio of crazy luck, always managing to survive somehow.

God, she hoped Glenn was okay.

A scrapping sound made her open her eyes and she looked back the way she came, finding the walkers coming her way.

"Fucking bitch." Bo muttered, starting her run again. She shot down the corridor and swung around a corner. The sight of more walkers that way made her halt and stare. She stepped back, her mind shooting into overdrive as she tried to figure out what to do.

Quieted gun shots made her jump as the walkers in front of her were dispatched and she looked up to see Maggie and Carl on the other side.

"Bo!" Carl greeted excitedly. The blonde smiled and hurried over to them, grabbing them and taking off. "No, no we just came that way."

"Well we can't go back my way, there's a bunch coming." Bo pointed out.

"Good thing there's a third option." Maggie decided. The three of them ran, hearing the snarls behind them. Around another corner they found two walkers which Carl quickly took down. A scream up ahead made them pause and look at each other. It sounded female but it didn't seem to sound like Anna or Beth, it was too young for either.

"Oh damn, come on." Bo instructed, taking off for the sound.

"So are you two prepared for this?" The Governor asked, sitting back in his chair with a drink in his hand and a pleasant smile on his face. Andrea and Shane sat across from him, sharing identical shrugs of uncertainty as their eyes drifted down to the woman's stomach.

"Out there, it was a really scary idea." Andrea admitted.

"I'm sure you'll make a good mother." The Governor stated. Andrea smiled slightly while Shane looked down at the liquid in his glass. He tapped his fingers on the sides and contemplated how things were. "You're looking pretty deep in thought there, Officer. Anything bothering you?"

"Something's always bothering me." Shane admitted. "Usually something small but there's always something that just makes me wonder."

"Anything I can ease your mind about?" The Governor asked. Shane gave a slight half smile before shaking his head. The other man didn't seem overly convinced but he accepted the response with a nod before finishing the remainder of his drink.

"You know, you guys are being cruel drinking those around me." Andrea pointed out, trying to lighten the mood. Her attempt was successful when Shane laughed and put the glass on the table, pushing it away. The governor put his empty glass on the table and smiled at the pregnant woman. "Did you ever have kids?"

"Two." The Governor answered, his smile fading off. "Daughters."

"Are they..." Shane faded off in his question, unsure of how to ask.

"The one...I'm not sure." The Governor admitted. He sighed and ran a hand over his face. "She...took off with some guy years ago. Haven't ever heard from her since." Andrea stared sympathetically at the man who was offering shelter to them. "Not a day goes by that I don't wonder if she's alive or not."

"You haven't ever found?" Shane asked.

"I tried." The Governor defended softly. "Good lord, did I ever try. But she didn't wanna be found." He stood up and went to his desk, picking up a picture. "Stubborn woman. There was such an age difference between the two girls. Sometimes I wondered if that's what caused some sort of...resentment. So many years of affection and attention on the one, then suddenly there's a new one getting all that."

"I doubt it was your fault." Andrea tried to assure. "Girls are...we're a crazy bunch." Shane smiled at the woman next to him and she just rolled her eyes at him.

"I just...hope...she's alive, where ever she's ended up." The Governor muttered. Shane paused and looked at the man, frowning slightly. Something about how he had said that just didn't seem to sit right.

Rick looked around the yard, Daryl and Glenn doing the same, all three a little frantic. They had found the culprit behind the alarm and had fixed the issue with help from Axel and Oscar. Now they were just hoping to be able to regroup with everyone.

A door opened and Beth came out slowly, Hershel behind her and right behind him, gun up in one hand and a machete in the other, came Anna. Rick sighed, some of his tension fading off at seeing part of the group well. The three of them joined the others, Glenn giving Beth a hug and Rick wrapping an arm around Anna's shoulders, kissing her forehead.

"Where's everyone else?" Beth asked.

"Don't know yet." Daryl grumbled, frowning. His eyes darted around to all the doorways, just waiting for his little blonde woman to step out. One of the doors opened and all eyes shot in that direction. Carl ran out and behind him was Maggie, a young girl riding on her back. Rick blinked, confused by the presence of the child. Maggie crouched to lower the girl onto a bench for her father to examine.

She couldn't have been any older than Carl. Judging by her state of being, she had likely been in survival mode for a while, possibly on her own. How she managed it was anyone's guess. Hershel sat himself on the bench next to her and carefully lifted the girl's leg where everyone could see swelling around her ankle.

"What happened?" Rick asked, looking at Carl as his son came to him.

"When we all split up, me and Maggie were running." Carl explained. "We came on Bo and...and she said that T-Dog sacrificed himself to give her time to keep going."

"Where is she?" Daryl asked.

"I...I don't know." Carl confessed, dipping his head slightly. "We found her...the girl...and then we ended up in a cell block where the only other way out was blocked up by walkers. There was ones coming behind us and Bo didn't want us shooting anymore. So she ran a distraction so me and Maggie and the girl could get out."

"That damn bitch." Daryl growled, throwing his arm in the air. He pointed at Carl. "How long ago was that?"

"About...ten minutes...maybe." Carl replied. Daryl gave a short nod and headed the way that Carl and Maggie had come from. "There's walkers everywhere."

"I'll deal with that." Daryl shot back. "Stupid goddamn bitch doesn't know when to keep herself safe..." His cursing was cut off by the door closing behind him and everyone looked at each other.

"She hasn't said a word to us." Carl explained when he saw his father turn his eyes back on the girl. "She was surrounded by walkers when we found her. Don't know how she got in or...if there's other people around we should be worrying about."

"We'll figure something out." Rick assured, patting Carl's shoulder. "Point is you saved her. We're going to have to watch her, make sure she doesn't try something on us, but we'll be good." Carl nodded and looked over at the girl.

"I can't believe you're really going to do this." Andrea stated, watching Merle open the gate for Michonne to leave.

"I can't believe you're not." Michonne shot back.

"Think this through, Michonne." Shane pleaded. He wouldn't admit it but he actually had grown to like this woman and having her around. It was a comfort, knowing that she would be there to help Andrea if he wasn't able to for any reason.

"This place ain't right and I'm not going to sit around and wait for the time when things get crazy." Michonne remarked. Her eyes shot down to Andrea's belly for a moment before she sighed and shook her head. Without another word, she turned and walked out the gate. Merle looked at the couple before closing it up behind the dark skinned woman.

That final snap of the gate closing sent a wave of uncertainty over Shane as he glanced around. Sure, the Governor was suspicious and Merle was...well...Merle...but no one else seemed that bad. What was it about this place that Michonne just didn't understand or trust? He could see it in her eyes that something had spooked her but he didn't know what it could be and obviously she wasn't talking. Just that thought alone got him angry and resentful at her. She expected them to follow her but wouldn't give a reason why? Well to hell with that.

Stuff turned crazy half way through Shane's mental cursing if his eight month companion when Andrea suddenly doubled over next to him. He looked at her quickly and blinked rapidly, pushing his brain to function. She grabbed his arm and groaned and it finally hit him.

She had gone into labour.

So it's been a while. I just now finally got to see episode 10 (after episode 11 airs, stupid On Demand and work). I really have no idea on how to send Rick into crazy town or even if I want to. Obviously by this point in the show, it's beginning as this is when Lori dies, but in my stuff, she's already been dead for months.

So who can tell me what they think is going to happen in upcoming chapters?
