"Nice moves there, Clint Eastwood. You the new sheriff come ridding in to clean up the town?" The guy says, breaking the silence

"It wasn't my intention." Rick shakes his head

"Yeah, whatever. Yeehaw. Your still a dumb ass." The guy pants out

"Rick. Thanks." Rick says, holding his hand out for the guy, the guy take it

"Glenn. You're welcome." Glenn says, then turns to me. I eye the guy up and down before setting on his eyes.

"What's your name?" Glenn ask in a polite tone, he looks trustworthy enough, but never judge a book by its cover. It's a new world, " no worries. Not comfortable with giving a stranger you just met your name, I get that I guess." He says before looking down,

"Oh no."

I look down with him and see a walker trying to climb the ladder, what the hike.

"On the bright side." Glenn says, looking up at the rest of the ladder we have to climb, "it'll be the fall that kills us.I'm a glass half full king of guy." He says, then starts to climb the rest of the ladder

Rick motions for me to go before him, I do and wait till I see Rick follow me before I continue on.

"Are you the one that barricaded the alley?" Rick ask, following after Glenn eagerly while I stay a while back, looking at my surroundings.

I've never been on a roof this high, only the one of my house, which wasn't so big.

"Somebody did- - I guess when the city got over run. Who ever did it was thinking not many geeks would get through." Glenn says, taking off in a run and me and rick follow him. He stops and we do too, Rick helps him open a door to a building

"Back at the tank, why'd you stick your neck out for us?" Rick ask, Glenn takes his back pack off and turn to rick and me

"Call it foolish, naive hope that if I'm ever that far up shit creek, some body might do the same for me. Guess I'm an even bigger dumbass than you." Glenn finishes, before climbing down another layer, disappearing into the darkness

Rick jerks his head for me to go next, I take a deep breath before going down. I'm not really a fan of dark places. I watch as rick follows after me and shutting the door, making me climb down faster.

I jump down and follow after this Glenn guy after I made sure that Rick was still behind me.

I don't listen to what Glenn is telling into his walkie, to busy starting at the freaks that were coming towards us from the side, four of them to be exact.

I slowly reach my hand for the dagger that was digging into my back, but then a door in front of us Burt open and two strangers wearing even more weirder cloths comes charging toward the freaks, beating them with sort of weapon.

"Lets go!" Glenn says, taking off again, rick a little behind him as he takes my arm and urges me to move faster. I didn't notice when I stopped moving.

I look back at the two strangers that closed the door behind us, but turn around when I feel Ricks presence disappear from me. A blonde lady shoved him into a group of boxes, holding a gun to his face

"Song of a bitch. We ought to kill you." The blonde lady hisses at rick, I find my hand slowly reaching for the dagger again and this time getting a hold of it.

"Just chill out, Andrea. Back off." The guy that was in the weird cloths says

"Come on, ease up." A lady with very short hair says, agreeing with the guy.

"We're dead because of this stupid asshole." The lady, Andrea says. The gun still being aimed at Ricks face.

I take a step forward but a hand shoots out and grands me by the shoulders, gently. Glenn. I look up just as he shakes his head in a No motion.
