We were getting our things ready for the run, Beth was talking to her boyfriend. She started walking away, "Okay- are you gonna say goodbye.??" He asked as she walked. "Nope." She said walking away. Daryl put another crate in the back of the truck. "It's like a damn romance novel." Daryl said. "Aww, i like romance novels." i said. He looked at me and gave me a look like 'really.' I nodded. "Oh yeah they're so cute. I read a few to keep me entertained." I said. He kept looking at me. "What!" i said softly and laughed a bit. "Don't look at me like that." I said, i was sitting on the edge of the tailgate of the cargo bed. (Basically the door of the back of the truck) "Who are you." He said. I shrugged a bit, "What are we.?" i asked raising an eyebrow.

He froze and looked away from me, he bit the inside of his cheek and looked down at the floor. "I mean-" I said looking at him. "We're not a romance novel.." I said looking at him, He looked back at me. "So.. what are we novel wise?" i asked. "Action movie..?" He asked. I tilted my head, "Action movie.?" I asked smiling a bit. I made him feel awkward, i didn't want that.

The question freaked him out even though i didn't mean it to come out that way he took it as like- relationship wise. "Comic book, at least. I like to read more." i said smiling at him. " 'course you do." He said and moved his fingers a bit, gesturing me to hop off. I did and he closed the door/tailgate. We saw Bob talking to Sasha about wanting to come with us on the run. "You were out on your own when Daryl found you." Sasha said. "That's right," Bob said, "I just wanna make sure you know how to play on a team." She said. "We ain't gonna do it unless it's easy." Daryl said as we walked by her. "You know he was a medic in the Army." Glenn said.

"Let him come, what's the worst that can happen.? He's gonna be with us the whole time." i said looking at Sasha. She looked at me and i shrugged a bit. "You a hell of a tough sell. You know that.?" Bob asked Sasha. She looked at him, "Okay." She said. "Let's go woman." Daryl said and started his bike. I got on and we headed down to the exit, we saw Michonne was back. Daryl stopped his bike, "Well, look who's back." he said, I put my hands on my knees, not holding him anymore. "Didn't find him." She said, Daryl nodded a bit and looked over to Rick. "Glad to see you in one piece." He said looking back at her.

"I'm thinking of looking over near Macon." She said, Everyone stayed silent. "I wouldn't.." I said looking at her. "It's worth a shot." She said. "Is it,?" i asked shaking my head a bit. "70 miles of walkers. Might run into a few unneighborly times." Daryl said, She looked at both of us. "I'm gonna go check out the big spot, the one i was talking about. Just seein'." Daryl said. "Yeah, i gotta go out and check the snares. I don't wanna lose whatever we catch to the walkers." Rick said looking at us. "I'll go," Michonne said. "You just got here." Carl said holding on to the horse. "And i'll be back." She said and walked over to the car. Carl looked at me, I looked at him too. "If you're going just keep an eye out, I want some candy. The good kind." He said looking at me.

I sighed looking at me. "Okay, boss." i said. "Okay." He said smiling a bit. "Candy.?" Rick asked. "She lost." Carl said. Rick looked at me, "Really.?" he asked. "Shut up.." i smiled at him. He smiled at me too. "Be careful." Carl said. I nodded a bit, "Yeah." i said. Daryl patted Rick's stomach once and started his bike again. I held on to him again and we headed out.

Daryl hit the window a few times with his elbow, he was sitting down by the window. "Give it a second." He said. "Okay, i think i got it." Zach said. "Got what?" Michonne asked walking over to us. "Oh, I've been trying to guess what Daryl did before the turn." He said sitting down next to him. "He's been trying to guess for like 6 weeks." Daryl said. "I'm pacing myself. One shot a day." he said. "Alright, shoot." Daryl said. "Well the way you are at the prison. You being on the council. You're able to track. You're helping people but you're still kind of uh.. surly. Big swing here; Homicide Cop." he said confidently.

Michonne laughed as she used the wall for support. I was standing next to Glenn, I smiled a bit and looked down shaking my head. "What's so funny?" Daryl asked. "Nothing. makes perfect sense." She said. "Actually the man's right. Undercover." Daryl said, i looked at him and tilted my head a bit. "Cmon really?" He asked. "Yep. I mean i don't like to talk about it 'cause it was lot of heavy shit you know?" he said. I narrowed my eyes at Daryl. "Dude cmon really?" He asked and looked at me. I looked at him. "Why're you looking at me!" I smiled. "Because you're together. Was he a Homicide cop.?" He asked. I shrugged a bit, ".. You're asking the wrong person." I said smiling at him. He looked over at Daryl. I looked at Daryl and raised an eyebrow. He looked over at Zach for a few seconds.

He looked down, adjusting his grip on the crossbow and clearing his throat. "Okay. I'll just keep guessing i guess." He said. "Yeah you keep doing that." Daryl said. I giggled a bit causing Daryl to smile a bit. "Mhm." Zach said. A walker came to the window, Daryl stood up. "Homicide cop, This dude.." I said shaking my head at Daryl. "What.?" He asked looking at me too. I shrugged, "Nada," I said. He smiled a bit at me, i smiled at him too as he walked over to the doors. "We're gonna do this, Detective.?" Michonne asked. "Let's do it." Daryl said, Glenn handed him the crowbar.
