THEY LEFT THE HIGHWAY.

The group left the blue truck behind, since it didn't fit many people. Vivian sat in Hershel's red truck, Liam in her lap. Carl sat in the middle, leaning against his mother who sat on the other side. Rick drove with T-Dog in the passenger seat.

The Greene family sat in the green Hyundai, plus Glenn and Carol. The older woman was going to ride on the back of Daryl's bike, but she knew he wanted to be alone.

"Damn." Rick sighed, glancing at the dashboard,

"What's wrong?" His wife asked from the back seat,

"We've been riding red for the past hour."

"Better make sure we don't get forgot." T-Dog commented,

Rick nodded and honked his horn, waking Liam up. He began to cry again and Vivian mentally cursed Rick.

Lori gave her an apologetic look as everyone filed out of their vehicles. Vivian stayed in the car, trying to quiet Liam down. She didn't want to attract any walkers.

"You out?" Daryl asked as Rick walked towards the group,

"Running on fumes." He replied,

"We can't stay here." Maggie stated, looking around in case any walkers stumbled across them,

"We can't all fit in one car." Glenn commented,

"We'll have to make a run for some gas in the morning." Rick told them,

"Spend the night here?" Vivian questioned as she approached the group as Liam calmed down,

"I'm freezing." Carl commented, pressed against his mother as Rick handed him his jacket,

"We'll build a fire, yeah?"

"You go out looking for firewood, stay close." Daryl ordered, "Only got so many arrows. How you doing on ammo?"

"Not enough." Rick answered,

"We can't just sit here with our asses hanging out." Maggie commented,

'Watch your mouth." Hershel scolded his daughter, "Everyone stop panicking and listen to Rick."

Vivian turned to their leader, bouncing Liam on her hip,

"All right, we'll set up a perimeter." Rick addressed the group, "In the morning, we'll find gas and some supplies. We'll keep pushing on."

"Glenn and I can go make a run now, try and scrounge up some gas." Maggie offered,

"No, we stay together." Rick shot her down, "God forbid something happens and people get stranded without a car."
