You've been on the road for two days. The RV has blown its hose once more as you were stuck on the highway. Shane had told the survivors to scavenge what they could from the abandoned vehicles.

You looked into one car, and found a hat. You turn it over and see it has a Cavaliers logo. You wondered if there was a family from your home state of Ohio who came to Georgia for a trip before everything went down.

Clementine: What'd you find there?

You turn to Clementine, and put on the hat.

You: Look. We're twins.

Clementine: Uh, I don't think so.

You: My hat has C, while yours has D. Ironic ain't it?

Clementine: You're so weird.

You both chuckle as you take off the cap and put it in your bag. You move on to another car. As the both of you look, you hear Dale above the RV forcefully whisper at you.

Dale: Y/N! Clem! Get down!

You look at what he's looking at, and see a herd of walkers stumbling down the highway.

You: Jesus Christ....

You hid behind the car, and Clementine begins to go under it. You follow behind her.

It felt like ages. You and Clementine try to keep your breathing as quiet as possible as the walkers pass by. After a while, you hear Sophia yelling. You and Clementine start getting up from under the car and run to the edge of the highway where the group is.

Carol: Two walkers are after my girl!

You: Where's Rick?

Glenn: He went after her.

Shane: Glenn, Daryl....you two come with me. Y/N, stay here with Dale and watch T-Dog.

You nod, and look over at T-Dog who has a rag tied to his bleeding arm.

You: What the hell happened to you, man?

T-Dog: Cut my arm in a door frame. I know....pretty dumbass shit.

He continues to groan in pain.

Clementine: I'll check the RV for any bandages.

She goes into the RV, as you stand around with T-Dog and the remainder of the group.

You were at the RV with Dale, when Carl came over with a bag of something.

Carl: Shane told me to give this to you. I found it in a car.

He gave it to Dale, and he laid it on the hood of a car and rolled it open. It contained a hatchet, a machete, and other tools.

You: Wow. Good find, Carl.

Carl: I asked my mom if I can have one, she said no.

You: Well, they are dangerous for a kid your age.

Carl: What's safer? This or a gun?

You: That's a complicated question, kiddo.

Shortly after, Rick and Daryl came from the woods and back onto the highway.

Carol: Did you find her?

Rick: The trail went cold. We'll continue at first light.

Carol began crying, as Daryl explained the risks of continuing the search throughout the night.

Carol: How can you just leave her?

Rick: I had to draw those walkers away....I was going to go back for her.

Carol: My little girl got left out in the woods....

Carol continued to sob, as you stood there silently.

••

Rick assembled the group the next morning near the RV. He opened the bag of tools that Carl had found and placed it on the hood of the car.

Rick: Everybody take a weapon.

Andrea: What we need are guns.

Shane: Some of us are already carrying. We don't need everybody popping off at every tree rustle.

The group was going to go look for Sophia. You, Dale, and T-Dog were going to stay behind and look after the RV, or in case Sophia comes back to the highway.

You stood by cleaning your gun as you heard Andrea butting heads with Dale. The argument got the attention of everybody, but decided not to interfere. Andrea walked away, and the search group went off. You give a wave to Clementine who's leaving as well.

You go up to Dale.

You: Are you okay?

Dale: I'm fine.

He looks down, then climbs up onto the roof of the RV.

You stand around and talk with T-Dog for some time, and he goes up to Dale.

T-Dog: Ain't you supposed to be fixing that radiator? What if they come back with Sophia and want to move out right away?

Dale looks down at the both of you.

Dale: I had it fixed yesterday.

T-Dog: What?

You: What was all that rubbing and sanding for then?

Dale: Just for show. If the others know were mobile....they'll want to mobilize and move on.

T-Dog: So you don't think they'll find Sophia?

Dale sighs.

Dale: I don't want them to put the needs of many over the needs of the few....if you know what I mean.

You nod. You feel like there might be people in the group that will decide that they'd be better off leaving Sophia. You scratch your head.

Hopefully they do find her.

••

You were checking car engines with Dale, scavenging for spare parts.

Dale: We're gonna have a hell of a collection, aren't we?

You chuckle.

You: We got enough parts to build a damn car ourselves.

T-Dog stumbles by the both of you.

Dale: You okay?

T-Dog didn't answer, and laid against a car.

Dale: T-Dog, don't ignore me. How are you?

T-Dog: It hurts real bad. It's been thumping.

Dale checks his cut, and you both see discoloration in his veins.

Dale: You got a hell of an infection. You could die from blood poisoning.

T-Dog begins to laugh.

T-Dog: In a world gone to hell, dead eating the living, Theordore Douglas is going to die because of a cut on his arm?

He continues to laugh.

You: We're going to find you some antibiotics. There has to be something in this damn car graveyard.

You pat T-Dog's shoulder, as you walk him towards the RV.

••

Dale: Shot?! What do you mean shot?!

Glenn, Daryl, Andrea, Carol, and Clementine arrived to tell us the news that Carl had been shot.

Glenn: All I know is this chick rode out of nowhere like Zorro on a horse and took Lori.

Dale: And you let her?

Daryl: Climb out of my asshole, old man.

Clementine: Rick sent her. She knew both Lori and Carl's name.

The group was starting to plan out who was going to the farm and who was staying at the RV in case Sophia arrived.

Daryl: I'll stay. We can rig up a big sign for her and leave some supplies.

Dale: Wherever the RV is, that's where I am.

Andrea: I'm in.

Carol: Thank you....all of you.

Glenn: Well if everybody's staying....

Dale: No, go with Y/N and Clem to the farm. Take Carol's Cherokee. We need to reconnect with the rest of the group.

Dale looks back at T-Dog, who's under a blanket and getting worse.

Dale: Take T-Dog too, we need to see if they have antibiotics.

Daryl goes to his motorcycle, and takes out a bag of antibiotics.

Daryl: Why did you wait until now to say something? I got my brother's stash.

He started going through the bag, and tossed Dale a bottle of Oxycycline.

You: Where'd you get all this?

Daryl starts walking back to his motorcycle.

Daryl: Don't ask where I get my drugs, kid

A/N: You're going to see a good amount of time skips in the coming chapters because Season 2 is kinda uneventful in my opinion. Prepare.
