Chapter 17
Hershel could fix their burns without much pain which was good since Daryl didn't need anymore pain at the time. After he was done the two men relaxed in the RV. Daryl was still covered in soot and Shane was sure that he didn't look much better. Slowly the kid relaxed on the small couch the RV had and soon he was sleeping. Shane stretched out in his chair but didn't get to sleep. He knew that if he went to sleep he would see Rick again and probably Daryl and they seemed to hate each other in his mind. He also knew that Daryl might not have a great sleep and he'd need to be there for him if he didn't. He got up to get himself a glass of water which he just realized how badly he needed. He got an extra one in case Daryl woke up and needed something to drink. He sat down in his chair next to Daryl who was still sleeping and surprisingly calm. The kid did end up waking up but not because of nightmares which Shane thought was an improvement. "Do you want a drink?" Shane asked. Daryl nodded eagerly, "Yea thanks." The boy took the glass from Shane and took slow sips from it. "So are you still sick?" Shane asked curiously. "Nah. I think the fire burned it off," Daryl joked, "No I have no idea." Shane nodded, "You seem better." Daryl rolled his eyes, "Yea cause being burned in a fire makes me look a lot better then throwing up. But in this case I did both so I guess I'm good." Shane laughed, "Yea I guess you are." They talked for a little longer and then Hershel came over, "Shane, we found a good place to set up camp. We're going to stop here." Shane nodded, "Ok let's do it."
They clambered out of the RV and Shane took in their surroundings. There was a little patch of four or five trees where Glenn was standing. That's where they were going to camp. Daryl looked around, "Nice place. I think it's the best we are going to find." They walked over to where Glenn was standing. "Glad you guys could make it," the man said. Shane grinned, "Yea whatever. Tomorrow you're going to have to make a hunting trip." Glenn nodded, "T-Dog and I will go." Shane grinned, "Cool." Daryl tapped Shane, "Can't I go too?" Shane thought for a minute, "You go on the next one ok?" Daryl sighed but nodded, "I guess I'll help set up then." The kid went back to one of the trucks and pulled out some equipment. He watched as the kid returned and then in about five minutes had a tent set up. "How the hell are you so good at that?" Shane asked. Daryl shrugged, "I went camping a lot when I was a kid." Shane translated that to: I went into the woods a lot to hide and stayed there overnight. He nodded, "Cool, then you can do the tents." Daryl nodded and began on the second tent. Shane went over to Glenn, "You be careful out there tomorrow." Glenn nodded, "You watch yourself too. There's going to be a lot more walkers out here in the fields." Shane nodded, "I'll have someone on watch all the time. Daryl will do it. Won't you Daryl?" Daryl called back from the trees, "Whatever you say." Shane grinned, "Told you." Glenn laughed, "That's cause he wants to repay you for saving his life." Shane shook his head, "He already did." Glenn nodded, "I'll bet."
Night approached and Daryl called taking first watch so Shane went to sleep. He was woken in two hours by Daryl and went to take his well deserved shift on watch. He hadn't taken one in a long time. As he sat out there he wished again that Rick was there with him. It would make things so much easier. He would know what to do. He would know how to run this group out here. He waited his two hours and then woke up Andrea to take her watch. He crawled back to his tent and went to sleep, knowing that the morning would be tough.
