"Where's Sophia? Where's my baby?" Carol asked, rushing towards Rick.
"I found her, but were had two walkers on us. I had to lead them away so I told her to stay in hidden near the river. When I came back she was gone." Rick said, looking between Lori and Carol's eyes.
"You left my baby alone out there with walkers!" Carol cried as Rick tried to explain himself.
"It was the only way to get the walkers away from her. I couldn't do anything else. She was gone when I got back to where I left her." He said, defeated.
"I'll go look." Daryl interrupted. Turning around he walked toward the edge of the highway, leaving Rick to follow.
"Alright everyone, just go back to looking through the cars." Shane said, climbing the ladder to keep watch on the RV. I walked into the RV, looking for Carol.
"Carol?" I called out. Looking around the room I found her sitting in the corner, crying silently. "Oh, Carol. Come here." I said quietly, extending my arms out for her.
"My.. babys.. g.. gone." She wimpered, jumping into my embrass.
"There going to find her Carol. Sophia's a smart little girl, she's going to make it." I said. "Why don't you rest for a bit. I'll come back to wake you when Rick, Daryl and Sophia are back." I said, laying her back in the bed. Reluctantly she crawled under the blankets and drifted to sleep. Sighing as I stood up, I walked out of the RV and bumped into Lori.
"Sorry." I said. "Carol's sleeping now, she should be more rational when she wakes up."
"Thank God. Rick tries his best, but we can't always expect him to do everything." She shook her head. "Could you keep an eye on Carl while I look through some cars?" She asked.
"Sure thing Lori. I'll let you know when Rick gets back too." I said as she walked away. I found Carl opening the door to a large black truck.
"Sam, Look!" His eyes light up as he turned to me with a package.
"What'd you find?" I asked as I took the package and opened it, discovering the numerous knives. "Looks like this guy knew what he was doing." I mumbled. "I want you to take these back to Dale, alright?" I looked at Carl whose face fell.
"But I found them. There mine." He argued.
"I know, but you can't use all of these at once, can you? We can all use them and have a better chance at finding Sophia." I patted his back. Nodding, Carl walked over to the RV and told Dale. It was starting to get pretty late. The sun had started setting when Rick and Daryl walked out of the forest, no Sophia in sight.
"Hey Carl?" I called out. "Could you go keep Carol company for a bit?" I asked him. He nodded and went inside the RV. I walked over to the group of cars that Lori had been in and found her rumaging through some suitcases. "Lori, their back." I tapped her shoulder. Without a word she walked over to Rick, leaving me in the mess of cars. I was walking back to the group gathered around the RV when Carol walked outside. "Damnit." I mummbled as I hurried over.
"Where's my baby?" Carol asked, looking around.
"We didn't find her. Ain't no point lookin' in the dark." Daryl said quietly, keeping his distance from the group. I shifted awkwardly as Carol cried into her hands. Lori rushed forward, comforting her. I looked around, making sure there were no walkers as I began to pace. The conversation ended quickly as everyone was tired.
