Somebody To Die For
Chapter 13
"Ya son of a bitch!" Merle snarled as he stormed over to where T-Dog was standing. "Ya told us that Shane was dead!"
"And I thought he was as well dammit, the hotel was crawling with walkers." T-Dog snapped at them as Lori walked in like she didn't have a care in the world.
"What are you all yelling about now?"
"You're fuck buddies alive." Anna said coldly.
"Shane's alive?" Lori asked, as her eyes brightened slightly and she looked at T-Dog. "But there's no way he should have survived that!"
"How do we know ya ain't talking shit, and you knew he was alive all this time?" Merle growled. "Now he and his new friends are out to fuckin' kill us."
"Shane won't kill me," Lori said confidently.
"Of course he won't seeing as you're in love him and carrying his baby." Bailey snapped as they heard cars pulling up in front of the house.
"Lori, T-Dog come on let's go and Rick I need to talk to you!" Shane yelled.
"Oh fucking great." Beth said sighing.
"I'm out of here," Lori said as she went upstairs to get her bags. T-Dog looked a little jealous and a little pissed off that he wouldn't be able to sleep with Lori anymore, now that Shane was back. He frowned as he looked at the group.
"I think I'm going to stay here," he said as he sat back down.
"Oh no ya ain't," Merle growled as he pulled him by the arm and shoved him towards the door. "First, ya upset my little sister. Then ya tried to poison us all with whatever shit it was that you cooked. And then, when we finally found a decent enough place to stay in, yer so careless that ya burn the fuckin' place down. Yer lucky ya lasted this long, but ya ain't welcome here anymore."
"You can't do that." T-Dog protested as everyone glared at him and watched as he and Lori headed outside to where Shane was waiting.
"RICK COME ON OUT, I JUST WANNA TALK!" He called out and Rick looked quickly at Anna and Carl who both shook their heads.
"Don't Rick, this could be a trap." She said grabbing his hand.
Rick nodded as he pulled them both in closer to him. "I know that," he said softly, before calling out to Shane. "Whatever you have to say, say it!"
"I want to see you face to face!" Shane yelled and they heard the front door open as T-Dog let Shane into the living room.
"Good to see ya Rick."
Everyone backed up a little as Shane invited himself into their home. He wasn't welcome here, as soon as they got rid of him, the better.
Rick watched him as he kept a firm grip on his family. "I wish I could say the same thing about you. What is it that you want, Shane?!"
Shane looked at them all closely, they all looked tired, hungry and filthy as he took note and saw Anna holding Carl tightly to her.
"You're brother, Connor asked me to give you this." He said throwing it over to her and she looked at the box wearily.
"Connor's alive?" she asked quietly, as she looked down at the box in horror. She could only imagine what was in it. Shane looked at them all as he sat down on a chair.
"Come on, Anna, ain't ya gonna open it? He asked me to search all over for you so I could give it to you."
She swallowed hard and very carefully opened the box as it revealed a pair of blue lace panties in the box.
The panties that she'd worn when she had been attacked by Connor and his group of men when everything went to hell.
She felt sick as she closed the box and threw it to the floor, before hurrying out of the room.
Rick looked down and then up at Shane with venom in his eyes. "I suggest you get the hell out of here and don't come back. You tell Connor to stay away from her."
Shane didn't say anything as he went out of the house with T-Dog and Lori as they drove away leaving the group in silence.
They all watched shocked at what had just happened, and confused. Merle barricaded the doors so no one else could get in. "I'm going to go and talk to Anna," Bailey said quietly, as she left the sitting room and went to find her friend. She took a walk outside, into the forest area that was behind the town. "Anna? Hello? Are you out here?"
"I'm here, Bailey." Anna said as she came over, holding her sword tightly as her gun was in her black holster, she looked tired and exhausted.
"You should tell Rick what happened Anna; you can't keep this bottled in." Bailey said gently and Anna nodded sadly.
"I'm just worried about he'll react." She said sighing.
"You shouldn't be," Bailey told her, as she sat down next to her on a log. "You didn't have a choice; it wasn't your fault what happened."
Anna nodded. "I know... they just made me feel so dirty and so ashamed," she said as she wrapped her arms around herself tightly.
Bailey sighed. "I get it, Anna, believe me, I really do. Dave used to force himself onto me pretty much every night, and I felt the same way as you do. It doesn't mean you should be ashamed of yourself, or feeling weak, you should feel strong because you came through it. Rick loves you, no matter what. Let him be there for you."
She nodded and they were about to leave when they heard screaming on the highway and looked at each other worriedly.
"That sounded like kids crying." Bailey said worried as they hurried over to the highway where saw about fifteen walkers around a black SUV in which two children were in trying to escape.
"Shit, we've gotta get Rick and Daryl." Anna said alarmed.
Bailey nodded. "You go, I'll try and take out some of these walkers," she said as she pulled out her knife, and hurried over to the car. "Hey! You dead sons of bitches! Over here!"
The walkers divided their attention to Bailey who killed two walkers with her scythe as Anna hurried to the house where she found Rick and Daryl.
"You two have hurry, there's a car surrounded by walkers and it's got kids inside it. Bailey's taking care of some of them." She explained as they ran to where they could see Bailey holding her own as she took out a walker.
"Remember our positions!" Rick yelled out.
"We don't have fucking time for that!" Bailey called back, as she took the head off another walker. "Just kill the damn things, one of them has smashed the car window already!" she explained as the four of them slashed and killed the walkers that were surrounding the vehicle.
They soon managed to take down the walkers surrounding the car revealing two familiar faces that peered from the windows.
"Sheriff Grimes? Mr Dixon?" They asked stunned.
It was Morales and Miranda's children that were staring at them.
"Louis? Eliza?" Rick asked shocked as he helped them out of the car and onto their feet. "Louis and Eliza Morales?" he asked again, unsure if he was seeing correctly.
"Wait, you all know each other?" Anna asked as she looked between Rick and Daryl and the kids.
"They were at our old camp back at the quarry before we went to the CDC; they went to Alabama to find their family." Rick explained as they helped the children out of the car.
"What happened to your parents?" Anna asked them kindly.
Louis pulled Eliza in close to him, and looked down at the ground. "We ran into this group... they wanted our supplies. They told mom and dad that if they didn't give them to us, they were going to hurt me and Eliza. Mom and dad handed them over, but they killed them anyway. I don't remember the men's names," he said sadly.
"I'm so sorry, kids." Rick said pained, he had liked Morales in the short time he had known him and it angered him that he and Miranda had been killed like that.
"You're coming with us." He told them kindly and they all grabbed their bags and headed back to the house.
Eliza and Louis looked at each other before following the adults back to the house, staying close together, still a little wary of being around new people, apart from the ones they had known back at the quarry.
When Sophia and Carl seen them, they both ran over and hugged them, as Penny and Duane went to introduce themselves too.
"Hi I'm Penny Caroline Blake." She said smiling warmly at them and they smiled back at her as the adults watched with smiles on their faces.
"I'm Duane Anthony Jones." Duane said smiling.
"It's nice to meet you both, I'm Eliza and this is my brother Louis," she said as they introduced themselves. "We know Carl and Sophia from back at the quarry."
"It's nice to see y'all again," Carol said with a soft smile.
"We're glad too." Louis said as they noticed that Dale, Lori, Shane and T-Dog were missing from the group.
"Where are the others?" Eliza asked as Carl brought Anna over.
"Guys, this is my mom."
Louis frowned. That certainly wasn't how he had remembered Lori looking. "Um... it's nice to meet you, Mrs Grimes," he said with a small smile. Maybe someday in the future Carl would explain the whole story to them.
"Dale was killed," Andrea explained quietly as she hugged them both. "Shane, Lori and T-Dog are no longer with our group."
"We saw Shane in that group?" Eliza said confused as vicious wind blew through the living room and they all shivered.
"Let's go put on the fire." Bailey said just as shots were heard.
"Everyone get down!" Rick yelled, as he grabbed Anna and Carl and pulled them to the floor. Surely they could at least manage to get one night of peace without something going wrong, or someone almost dying. Daryl took Aoife and shielded her, while Merle covered Eliza and Louis. Bailey, Andrea and Maggie all got their guns ready and made their way towards the main entrance, just incase anyone decided to pay them a visit.
"YO WALSH, DID WE GET THEM?!" A voice yelled and Anna paled as she recognised the voice that haunted her.
"I think we missed them Connor, they've probably left." Shane said and Connor cursed in annoyance.
They heard the sound of cars pulling away, and everyone cautiously got up, as Anna looked at Rick and held onto him tightly.
"That's him, that's my brother."
"I won't let him hurt you, none of us will." He comforted her and she sighed heavily as they all sat down on the chairs.
"So are we leaving?" Carl asked quietly.
Rick looked at his son and felt pained. He knew they all knew what was coming, but it didn't make it any easier, whenever they had to leave a place that they had found. "I don't know son, there's not many other places we could go."
"But we're together that's what matters." Anna said softly as everyone started to pack up the things they had taken out along with anything else that was useful.
The kids had found some cooking appliances and packed it into a bag while Anna and Maggie packed all the medicine they had found.
"Mr Daryl, we found these in our car." Eliza said handing him three boxes of shotgun shells and other ammo.
Daryl took the boxes gratefully and smiled at the kids. "Thanks guys, these are gonna come in real handy," he said softly. "And just call me Daryl."
The women packed up the food that was left and the blankets, as well as some of the pillows and cushions. The men were packing up weapons, along with useful things like flashlights and maps.
Soon they had packed up their belongings and were now driving along the highway as they saw the odd lone walker stumbling around.
"The weather's affecting them." Bailey said as she watched.
"Where to now, Rick?" Anna asked as they drove with Carl asleep in the back. She was pretty sure that soon they were going to have stayed in every single house in Georgia, and they were running out of options. "We can't keep being on the move like this; it's not good for any of us, especially not the children."
"I'm not sure; we need to find somewhere soon." He said worried as he saw a prison in the distance.
'Georgia State County Prison.'
"I think we might be in luck." He said as everyone pulled over and got out of the cars as they looked over the prison.
"It looks big enough, secure enough," Merle said with a small grin, as he looked around the outside. It seemed relatively free from walkers too; the ones lying in the yard had been killed somehow or other. "And look at the fence, Rick, look at the fuckin' fence!"
Rick gave him a small chuckle, as he looked at the others and took a deep breath. "What do you think? Should we go in and check it out?"
"I think we should give it a go." Daryl said as everyone headed towards the barbed wire which Glenn cut with the wire cutters as they saw herd coming towards them.
"Let's move!" Rick yelled as they all started to run around the fence that protected them from the walkers.
Bailey was holding Aoife in a baby sling across her chest as Daryl ran beside her.
"We need to get inside!" Anna called out as Glenn fixed up the fence behind him, so no one else could get through. They were inside now, there was no going back. Everyone ran towards the prison entrance with their weapons clutched and their bags on the back. They came to a main gate, which Merle and Daryl eventually managed to pry open. They closed it behind them and headed towards the building, stopping dead in their tracks, when they seen a large black man with a shotgun aiming at them, watching them all carefully.
"Don't move another step!"
They all froze and raised their hands in the air as Rick, Daryl and Merle looked at the holding a gun to them wearily.
"We're not here to cause trouble; we need a place to stay." Rick said calmly as the man kept his gun aimed at him as they saw others come in.
"Who the hell are they!?"
"I don't know," the man replied as he looked at the group. Most of them didn't look dangerous; they had a damn baby, and around six kids. The men looked a little rough, but didn't seem threatening. Plus, they could be good help, especially with all the trouble they were having from that damn group in Woodbury.
Another man approached him and looked at them. "We can't keep them here, Tyreese; we don't know who these people are!"
"They have children, Allen," the man, now named Tyreese, replied. "Look at them, they look filthy and hungry and cold. Not to mention exhausted. Where did you lot come from?" he asked Rick.
"Atlanta." Rick answered calmly as Anna and Carl moved closer into him while Beth towards Merle along with Eliza and Louis, Daryl pulled Bailey and Aoife into him tightly.
"How long have ya'll been on the road for?" A man with sandy blonde hair and a pirate moustache asked them.
"I don't even know," Rick said as he looked at them with pleading eyes. "We've lost track of time. We were staying on a farm in the summertime, but it got overrun with a herd of walkers. Since then we've had walker problems, human problems, floods, fires. We could just do with some water to get cleaned up and maybe a little food if you can spare it. A bed for a night would be nice too. We don't need to stay for long, but we would appreciate a little help. Please?!"
Tyresse looked at all of them carefully feeling his mind grow heavy with emotion, he couldn't throw them out, they were just like his group only they had worse luck.
"Tyresse let them stay for god's sake, they're harmless!" Donna told him and looked at all of them with kind eyes.
"Please come in."
"Thank you," Rick said as they all followed Tyreese through to what looked like a canteen area. They all stood shocked at how many survivors were inside, it turns out that they weren't the only ones. "Wow, you sure have a big group here."
Tyreese gave him a small smile. "Everyone, this is my little sister, Sasha, our friends Allen, and his wife Donna, and their son Ben," he said as he started with introductions. "Over there at the corner table is Oscar, Tomas, Andrew and Big Tiny, this here is Axel," he said, as he nodded at the man with the moustache. "Then we have Lee and Clementine, Kenny, his wife Katjaa, and their son Duck, Larry and his daughter Lily, Carly, Doug, Mark, Omid, Christa, and Brenda and her boys, Andy and Danny."
Rick raised his eyebrows as he looked around.
"It's nice to meet ya'll, my name is Rick Grimes, and this is my wife Anna and our son Carl." He said as he and the others introduced themselves.
"I'm Hershel Greene; this is my daughters Maggie, Beth and my niece Bailey Greene Dixon, her husband Daryl Dixon and their daughter Aoife Marie Dixon." He said kindly.
"My name is Carol Peletier and this is my daughter Sophia." Carol said softly.
"Merle Dixon," Merle grumbled, as he eyes everyone carefully. "Daryl's brother. These two here are Eliza and Louis," he said, as he looked down at the kids.
"I'm Andrea, and this is Phillip Blake and our daughter Penny," she said with a smile.
"I'm Milton Mamet," Milton introduced himself.
"Glenn Rhee," Glenn said as he nodded at them all.
"I'm Morgan Jones and this is my son Duane," Morgan added, as Duane gave them all a small wave.
"And this is our dog, Charlie." Penny said shyly as she stroked the black Labrador who happily nuzzled her.
"Well welcome to the prison, folks." Tyresse said warmly and they all smiled at him.
"Thank you," Rick said with a smile. "We appreciate you letting us stay here," he said as he held Anna and Carl's hands tightly.
"Not a problem," Lee answered. "There's plenty of room around here after all."
Brenda and Katjaa got up and looked at them all. "Why don't I show you all to a cell and you can go get cleaned up in the showers while we cook dinner?"
"That would be great, thanks." Anna said grateful as they all followed after Katjaa and Brenda with Charlie walking by the children's sides.
They were shown to their cells and then the showers which was heaven for everyone as they headed into the separate shower rooms.
Rick and Anna stood under the hot water, sighing as it took away the grime from their skin, after what felt like weeks without a proper clean. "So I'm your wife now?" she asked as she smirked up at him.
"That depends," Rick said with a smile as he kissed her cheek gently. "Do you want to be?"
"I sure do, Mr Grimes," she laughed as she washed his hair gently. "Don't go getting all romantic on me and stuff though."
"I'm serious," he said as he looked into her eyes. "You know, Maggie told me Hershel was once ordained. That means that he can do it properly and stuff."
"I'd like that but only if you want to though." Anna said honestly as she rinsed his hair clean of the grease and dirt that had been in his hair.
"You're hair's getting long." He said twirling the soft, wet blonde strands through his fingers as she laughed in amusement.
"So is yours." She said kissing him gently.
"I'm sure someone will give us a haircut sometime if we ask nice enough," he said with a chuckle.
She laughed at him as they got out of the shower and got dressed into clean clothes where they met Carl in their cell looking clean and happy as he pulled on his cowboy hat.
"We don't smell anymore at least." He said looking calm as they saw Daryl and Bailey come over with Aoife in her arms.
"Tyresse wants a meeting about Woodbury."
"They know about Woodbury too?" Rick asked as he pulled on a clean sweater to keep himself warm.
Daryl nodded. "Yeah, seems like we ain't the only ones with Woodbury problems." They all went downstairs to the canteen area, where everyone else was gathered, as Brenda and Katjaa handed out hot plates of dinner.
"Thank you." They all said as everyone started to eat the food with growling stomachs, they hadn't eaten in days and this was heaven.
"So I hear you guys have run into Woodbury as well?" Tyresse asked them all as he ate his food and watched them carefully.
"You could say that," Rick said as he wolfed down his dinner. "Have they been causing you trouble as well as us?"
Tyreese nodded. "They've been trying to get this prison ever since we cleared it of walkers."
"Their leader is called the Governor; he's a crazy bastard keeps walker heads in fish tanks for entertainment." Sasha said drinking her coffee.
"He's got three right hand men called Dave, Connor and one ex cop called Shane Walsh; they tried to attack the prison." Tomas explained.
Bailey sighed as she looked at them all. Everyone had ties to at least one of them, and she figured it would be best for it to come out now, rather than keep secrets and make Tyreese and the group think they couldn't be trusted. "We know," she said quietly, as everyone turned to look at her. "We know very well. You see..."
"No, Bailey," Rick said frowning as he looked at her. "We can talk about this another time," he added, worried that if Tyreese and his group knew they were connected, they might kick them out of the prison.
Bailey shook her head. "They deserve to know, we shouldn't keep things from them if we're going to stay. The Governor, or Brian, is Phillip's brother. Shane is Rick's old best friend," she began, and everyone narrowed their eyebrows in confusion. "Connor is Anna's brother, and Dave is my ex husband. Well, actually... technically he still is my husband."
"You were married to that crazy bastard?" Lily asked horrified that Bailey had been married to such a horrible man.
"I made a mistake and I paid for it." Bailey said pulling her shirt up and showed them all the stab mark that Dave had given her when she had lost Celia.
"Connor is my brother but I'm nothing like him." Anna said quietly and Rick rubbed her shoulder as he spoke next.
"Shane and I were good friends... until he had an affair with my wife. My ex-wife now. One day he tried to kill me, and I can assure you, we are no longer on speaking terms," he assured them all.
"And I haven't spoken to Brian, nor do I intend to, since he ruined my town." Phillip added.
Tyresse and the others looked at them all and nodded in understanding as they realised that they weren't the threat.
"Thank you for being honest." He told them warmly and they all nodded.
"It's the least we could do," Bailey said with a faint smile. "You are letting us stay here, after all."
Everyone nodded and continued to eat their food when they heard a truck pulling up outside as they saw Kenny and Lee hurry over.
"There's a baby outside and there's Shane's wife!"
"Lori?" Rick asked as he stood up from the table and hurried outside, where sure enough he seen Lori holding a baby in her arms. Her baby?
The others hurried after him and sure enough they saw Lori holding her baby as she looked at them all with a blank face, she saw Anna and wordlessly placed the baby in her arms before driving off in the car.
"Did she just do what I think she did?" Anna asked as she stared down at the baby, a little girl. Rick took his jacket off and wrapped it around the baby. "Did she just leave us with her child?"
"Is that my little sister?" Carl asked quietly as he stepped forward and looked into Anna's arms.
"It sure is Carl." Rick said gently as they brought the baby inside and saw that it was a baby girl with Shane's hair colouring and Lori's eyes.
'This was Shane's baby, not his.' He thought grimly.
He didn't look at the baby again, he let Carol and Katjaa take care of her, while Bailey went to find one of Aoife's outfits that she could get dressed in.
"So um... I'm not sure we can care for a baby that young here," Tyreese said as he sat down. "We weren't really expecting anymore children, we don't have any formula or diapers or any of that shit."
"I got some, but it won't last a while," Bailey said as she pulled Aoife up onto her lap.
"I'll go on a supply run." Anna said and Bailey volunteered as well as they headed outside with the others and Maggie decided to go as well along with Glenn.
"Be careful, alright." Daryl said holding her close as Aoife cooed at them both.
"Mama, dada."
"I'll see you soon, Aoife, sweetheart," Bailey said softly, as she kissed her cheek gently and got into the car with Maggie and Glenn.
"I love you," Anna said as she kissed Rick and Carl's cheeks gently. "We'll figure this out somehow too," she added, as she got into the car, and they all drove off.
They drove into a near by town and got out as they all looked around the area and saw it was clear of walkers and people.
"Look there's a baby store." Maggie said as they headed inside and started gathering all of the supplies including some other things.
Bailey looked around the baby clothes and sighed as she picked up some of the newborn outfits, sighing. Aoife had grown past that size, and she wouldn't have any use for them.
"Find anything useful?" Anna asked.
"Yeah, I found some baby clothes." She said pushing past her pain as they all headed back to where the car was when they saw Dave and another man with light blonde hair that made Anna freeze in shock.
Connor.
"Hello girls," Connor sneered at them. "Nice to see you again, little sister. Where have you been hiding then?"
"None of your fucking business." Anna snapped at him as she felt a gun pressed to her left temple as the others had guns aimed at them.
"That's no way to treat your brother, is it?" Connor snapped at her, as he pushed her towards the door with the gun to her head. "You and your little friends are going to come with us."
"Hey there, baby," Dave leaned down to whisper in Bailey's ear, as he wrapped her arm around her waist while he held his gun to her head.
"Get the hell off me, you bastard." She spat and he slapped her hard across the face as they were shoved into the back of the car and drove leaving the baby food, clothes and supplies behind as Michonne watched them go.
She hurried to where the supplies were; she picked them up and hurried off to where the prison was.
Michonne looked all around for any signs of life at the prison. She noticed a couple of men standing outside. Along with several walkers clawing at the fence. Luckily, or not, she'd had an incident with some of the Woodbury men earlier on that had led to her being covered in walker guts. And since then she had realized... if you smell like one of them, they weren't interested in eating you. She walked towards the fence, and crept in between the walkers, with the basket in her hand. None of the walkers around her seemed to be paying attention to the fact that she was there, but the gunshot wound she had on her was making her feel a little woozy. She placed her hand on the fence and looked in, hoping one of the men inside would spot her, and they would realize... that she wasn't one of them.
Rick who had been outside with Carl, Aoife and Daryl looked up when they saw a dark haired woman looking at them through the fence, holding baby formula and ...
Anna's jacket.
"Rick?" Daryl ran forward to get a better look. Walkers don't usually carry grocery baskets or jackets. But these walkers weren't attacking her either.
"I see it," Rick handed to the baby over to Carl. "Keys?" Rick held his hand out for Carl to pass them over.
Carl gave him the keys; Tyreese had given him a spare set, although he still held the main keys. He went towards the gate and opened it slightly, enough so the woman could get in. He looked her up and down. "Who the hell are you, why do you have baby formula, and why the hell are you carrying my girlfriend's jacket?"
The woman swayed on her feet slightly, before the next thing Rick knew, she collapsed in front of him, and he caught her in his arms.
"Carol, can you start an IV by yourself yet?" Hershel asked.
"Yes." Carol said as she helped Hershel clean the woman up. Her clothes and body were literally saturated with walker guts and blood. Maybe that was why the walkers didn't seem to notice her?
"Inject 1cc of Lorazepam in here," Hershel pointed to the spot in the IV. "You know how to draw medication into a syringe, don't you?" Carol nodded yes, remembering how he'd done it for Rick.
"Hand me the lidocaine and give her two Vicoden," Hershel continued instructing in his calm doctor's voice. Carol brought Hershel a stool so he could work while she tried to be his legs and bring him what he needed.
"What's your name?" Carol asked after watching the woman swallow down the two pills while she dabbed a cool cloth against the woman's forehead.
"Michonne," she was barely coherent.
"Michonne. You want to tell us why you were carrying baby formula and my girlfriend's jacket?" Rick stood at the end of the bed.
"Because your people dropped it when they were taken," Michonne answered as she tried to sit up, and sipped at the water that Katjaa had brought for her. "At least, I'm guessing they were your people. I heard the Asian kid and one of the girls talk about a prison. Anyway, four men came in and took them; I'm guessing they went to Woodbury. I just managed to make it out of there."
"Who took them?" Daryl asked as he rocked Aoife who was falling asleep in his arms as he looked wearily at Michonne.
"There were two men called Dave and another guy called Connor, he called the blonde girl his sister." She said calmly.
"Fuck!" Daryl hissed as he stood at the outside of the cell. "They got Anna and Bailey an' Glenn and Maggie. We gotta get them back Rick!"
"I know we do," Rick said worriedly, imagining Anna was probably terrified with Connor there right about now. "But we need to come up with a plan. We can't just go in and ask for our people back, they'll kill us if we do that!"
Merle nodded. "We'll take a team, could take this woman with us," he nodded at Michonne. "She seems to know this 'Woodbury' place."
Tyresse nodded "I'll come with ya and we can take those flash bang grenades." He said as Oscar came over, "I'll come too." He said quickly.
"I aint letting Dave hurt Bailey again, Rick I can't." Daryl told the man
Rick nodded and looked at Michonne "Can you tell us the layout?" He asked her.
Michonne thought about it for a minute. She had no need to be here and help these people, or to risk going back to Woodbury for them, but they had taken her in, fixed her up, and they didn't seem threatening. "I guess so. I can show you, if you would like."
Rick gave her a small smile. "Alright, I need to get Anna out of there. She's probably terrified with Connor after what he did to her."
"Not to mention Bailey's scared of Dave." Daryl said as they gathered their weapons and said good bye to their families.
"Ya gotta be a good girl for ya Uncle Merle, Aunt Beth and Aunt Carol alright, Aoife?" He asked his daughter who cooed at him.
Rick looked down at Carl who was holding his little sister. "Take care of her," he said quietly, as he ruffled his hair. "I'm going to bring your mom back."
"Please find Maggie, Bailey and Glenn," Beth said as she gave Rick a quick hug. "Good luck."
"We will don't worry." Daryl assured her as they went into a car and drove off as the others watched in silence.
Anna, Bailey and Maggie had all been tied up in a cold, dark room, while Glenn was next door, and they could hear him getting beaten. Connor and Dave were standing staring at them with smirks on their faces, but they weren't saying anything.
"You know, when our group find you, they're going to make you regret the day you were born," Maggie spat coldly.
"Not before we're finished with you three pretty women and ya'll gonna regret the day you met us all." Dave drawled as he walked to where Bailey was and started to pull off her black tank top when she bit him hard on the hard.
"YOU FUCKING BITCH!" He howled in pain as he clutched his hand and glared at her with enraged dark brown eyes.
"Payback's a bitch, huh Dave?" She asked wiping her bloody lip.
"I'm gonna fuckin' tear you apart!" Dave snarled as he kicked Bailey hard in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her. He reached down and untied her bindings, before pulling her up roughly by the hair, and holding his knife to her throat. "If you don't mind, I'm gonna go and spend some time with my wife," he said as he looked at Connor, before pulling Bailey away.
Connor laughed as he watched them go. "I'm gonna spend some time with my sister then," he said as he picked up Anna and looked at Maggie. "I'll leave you here to listen to your precious boyfriend as they slowly beat him to death," he said as he pulled Anna out of the room too.
Maggie watched terrified as both her cousin and best friend were dragged out of the room and a few minutes later she heard screaming from the room Bailey was in.
"BAILEY, ANNA, GLENN?!" She screamed terrified and looked around frantically for a weapon, when she remembered the knife in her right boot.
