Chapter 5: Departing

Before Andrea can go to Atlanta to scavenge supplies with Glenn, Morales, T-Dog, Jacqui and unfortunately Merle Michael wanted to talk to her about something.

"Hey Andrea, can I talk to you for a minute?" Michael said.

"Yeah sure." Andrea said.

"Now before you go, I have to tell you is that you I trust to get everybody and I mean everybody back to camp alive. Can I count on you to do that?" Michael said and asked.

"You can count on me 100%." Andrea said.

"Good." Michael said.

"Come on Andrea, Let's go!" Morales shouted.

So before she left Andrea gave a hug then off she went.


Few hours later

"Hello? Hello? Can anybody hear my voice?" Said an unknown voice on the CB.

"Hey? Hello?" Amy said.

"Can you hear my voice?"

"Yes, I can hear you. You're coming through. Over." Amy said.

"Anybody who reads, please respond. Broadcasting on emergency channel. We'll be approaching Atlanta on Highway 55. Anybody reads, please respond."

"We're just outside the city." Amy said but no respond. "Damn it. Hello? Hello? He couldn't hear me. I couldn't warn him." Amy said.

"Try to raise him again. Come on, son. You know best how to work this thing." Dale said.

"Hello, hello, is the person who calls still on the air? This is officer Shane Walsh, broadcasting a person unknown, please respond." Shane said. No respond "He's gone." Shane said.

"There are others. It's not just us." Lori said.

"Yeah, We knew there would be, right, that's why we left the CB on." Shane said.

"Lot of good it's been doing. And I've been saying for a week, we ought to put signs up on 85 to warn people away from the city." Lori said.

"Folks got no idea what they're getting into." Amy said.

"We don't have enough time." Shane said.

"I think we need to make time." Lori said.

"Yeah, that, uh That's a luxury we can't afford. We are surviving here. We are day to day." Shane said.

"And who the hell would you propose to send?" Dale asked.

"I'll go. Give me a vehicle." Lori said.

"Nobody goes anywhere alone, you know that." Shane said.

"Yes, sir." Lori said walking off pissed.

"Hey Carl, take a seat." Michael said also walking behind Lori but said this to Shane, "What the fuck is the matter with you, Shane?" Michael said.

"What do you mean?" Shane asked.

"Figure it out yourself!" Michael shouted.

As Lori goes inside her tent she doesn't know she is being followed.

"Lori?" Michael asked.

"Oh, hey Mikey." Lori said calling him by his nickname.

"I know your mad right but Shane is both right and wrong. Nobody goes alone but he should have said that he would go with you to put signs up but no. I've seen Shane act differently ever since the world went to hell. Its like he has changed. Like he's not the same Shane I know. What if he is not the same brother I know and love? Have I lost another brother?" Michael said.

"No you have not lost him. He is still here but ever since the world ended things are now different. And I'm sorry for not telling you Mikey to go with Lori. But I don't want anything bad happen to any of us. But know this Mikey, I love you little brother. Me, Lori and Carl are the only family you got right now and we'll always be there for you. So you forgive me?" Shane said.

"We forgive you Shane and I love you too bro." Michael said as he, Lori and Shane embrace each other.

They then went on to do what they have to do to survive and stay alive.

Please review and tell me what's different about this chapter compare to the first episode of The Walking Dead. Whoever gets it right, next chapter is dedicate to that person.
