Quick update! So I lied. The action actually happens a little later on because I couldn't get the right set up for it. Anyway I hope you enjoy the next chapter!
Chapter 28
Glenn shrugged, "I have no idea. My only guess is that they got ambushed." Shane thought about that. They could've been ambushed and kidnapped, but by who? His only guess was the Governor. "It was the Governor," he said finally, "It's the only option." Glenn nodded, "Let's get them back! We can find them. The Governor has to have some reason for taking them." Lori emerged from the woods, "What's going on?" Carol called back to her, "Rick and Daryl went missing." Lori looked at her, "They were supposed to be gone all day." Carol rolled her eyes, "Glenn found Daryl's crossbow in the woods. He doesn't leave that lying around." Shane wasn't really listening to their conversation. He had to get Daryl and Rick back.
He walked to Glenn, "Do you know where they are camped out?" Glenn shook his head, "I went scouting out a little bit. I think there's some little town over the hills. We could try there." Shane nodded, "Ok good. Let's get everyone together." When everyone had met with Shane and Glenn they decided on a group to raid the village for Daryl and Rick. Shane and Glenn were going. They would take Andrea, Maggie, and T-Dog. Lori would back them up with Carol. Dale and Hershel would stay behind at the house.
The group hurried out into the woods as Glenn led the way with Shane right behind him. "There's the hill. The town should be right over the top," Glenn pointed out as they headed towards it. Shane nodded and they continued on, "I don't want to go running in. We have to sneak in and use strategy. I bet they have more people than us. We have to be careful." Glenn agreed and they reached the wall of the town.
Slowly the small group crept around into the town. Glenn leaned down to Shane and whispered, "Yep they're here. Look, there are the cars." Shane looked to where Glenn was pointing and saw the cars that the Governor had used. "Where do you think they'd be?" he asked. Glenn scanned the small area, "I don't know. Someplace that doesn't look good. We should try that place." Glenn pointed to a small building and the group headed towards the building. Shane peered in the window and ducked down quickly shaking his head. Night was falling since they had left during the evening. There was some kind of event going on and people started flooding the streets.
Shane shoved the group to the back of one of the buildings. "I say we follow them. Maybe we can get an idea of where Rick and Daryl are," he said quietly. The other four were nodding their agreement. The small group began to follow the people heading all to one of the larger buildings. Once all of the people were in the building Shane crept over to the big opening and Glenn appeared next to him. His jaw dropped as they took in the whole room. "What is going on?" Glenn asked quietly. Shane just shook his head. He had no idea. All the people were standing in big crowds and the Governor was above them with three others. They were up on some raised platform and there were walkers chained up to the far wall.
Glenn leaned forward, "Can you hear what he's saying?" Shane listened and could just make out the words. "…. Two of the enemy's best fighters are now in our possession," the Governor was saying, "and since no one has come looking for them, we'll make sure they can't go back." Shane jumped, "Glenn they're going to kill them!" Glenn grabbed Shane's arm, "Don't go doing stupid things. If you give away our group we won't have a chance to rescue them." Shane knew Glenn was right but he just wanted to go in and kill the Governor. They waited as the Governor droned on with his speech until finally he said, "Bring them out."
