Thank you so much, also, not only do I have a second Daryl Dixon story but I'm starting a carl story so look out for that :)

Y'ALL I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT POSTING IN LIKE A MONTH, I'VE BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL, BROKE MY LEG LIKE 5 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS, AS IN, I JUST KEPT BREAKING IT IN MORE PLACES THE MORE I MOVED AROUND

Daryl Dixon

I was pissed at Y/n that she was listening into me and Cassandra's conversation, I'd talk to her later but for now we had to get on with the mission, walking past her, I went to talk to Zach, Beth walking past me on the way

"It's like a damn romance novel" I told Zach putting stuff in the boot.

"Yeah, and what about you and Y/n?" He smirked at me.

"Ain't nothing there" I shrugged, "Y/n don't like me like that" I told him, wanting to end the conversation.

Y/n was hugging my waist, sat on the back of the bike like she always did.

"Well look who's back" Y/n said getting off the bike momentarily as I stopped, she hugged Michonne tightly 

"Didn't find him" Michonne said referring to the governor 

"Glad to see you in one piece" I told Michonne

"I'm thinking of looking over near Macon" Michonne told me and Y/n, Rick looked away disappointed "It's worth a shot" Michonne told him as Y/n clambered back onto the bike

"70 miles of walkers?" Y/n questioned, I nodded agreeing with her

"You might run into a few unneighbourly types" I shrugged "is it?" I asked her referring to if it was worth it "We're gon' go check out the big spot" I told Rick "the one I was talking about, just seeing"

"Yeah, I got to go out and Check the snares" Rick told me as Y/n climbed off the bike again and going to the side having a private conversation with Michonne "I don't want lose whatever we catch to the walkers" He explained

"I'll go" Michonne pitched in from next to Y/n.

"But ya just got here?" Y/n and Carl asked in unison, she looked between them both smiling.

"And I'll be back" She told them both smirking before walking off, I revved the bike, nodding to Rick, Y/n climbed back onto the bike, holding on tightly.

We arrived at the destination, me and Y/n didn't talk the whole way like we usually would, she seemed to not know what to say and I didn't really know what to say either.

She got off the bike, automatically heading towards Zach, having a small conversation with him which seemed to be going downhill as she was laughing nervously.

Bob came up to me asking about the fences and why there was an abandoned army camp here.

"Army came in and put these fences up" I explained to Bob "made it a place for people to go, last week, me and Y/n spotted this place, there was a bunch of walkers behind this chain-link" I pointed to the fence. "keeping people out like a bunch of guard dogs" I scoffed slightly 

"So they all just left?" Bob asked slightly confused.

"Listen" Y/n told Bob quietly, you could hear music in the background.

"You drew 'em out" Michonne said impressed looking between me and Y/n.

Y/n Y/l/n

Michonne looked impressed when we told her we drew them out, just me and Daryl.

"Put a boombox out there 3 days ago, found a Metallica tape, sorta sad I had to give it up" I started ranting slightly "Boombox" I smiled awkwardly putting a thumbs up. 

Daryl laughed slight before finishing the explanation for me.

"Hooked it up to two car batteries, so, we ready?" he asked as he finished "Alright, let's sweep it" He mumbled seeming to go back into his shell "Make sure it's safe, grab what you can, we'll come back tomorrow with more people" he instructed going back into 'big gruff survival man' mode.

I started walking around by myself, hunting knife at the ready, there were decaying corpses all over the place 

"Been dead a long time haven't you" I mumbled to one of the corpses as I opened a med kit on the floor, only to find every item that should be in there was missing. "Great" 

After sweeping it, we went to the actual store, weapons still ready, I found it weird there wasn't any stragglers stumbling about, Maybe we were lucky?

Daryl knocked loudly on the glass while I sat down, humming slightly.

"Just give it a second" he told Zach who was looking skeptical.

"Okay, I think I got it" Zach said with a wide smile on his face, me and Zach had this thing where we tried to guess what Daryl did before the apocalypse.

"Got what?" Michonne asked curiously 

"Me and Zach have been trying to guess what Daryl did before shit hit the fan" I explained.

"They've been trying to guess for like 6 weeks" Daryl mumbled seeming slightly annoyed but amused.

"We're pacing ourselves" Zach smiled and I had a smug grin on my face 

"One shot a day" I smirked knowing our guessing annoyed Daryl slightly 

"All right shoot" He mumbled seeming slightly annoyed but curious

"Well, the way you are at the prison" Zach begun

"And the way you were when you saved my ass" I continued referring to the whole Merle, Governor situation.

"Yeah, you being on the council, and you can track" Zach continued my thought "You're helping people but you're still being kind of a..." Zach trailed off not knowing how to word it

"Surly" I smirked at Daryl, Zach nodded "Big swing here" I spoke 

"Homicide cop" Zach finally finished our thought.

Michonne wheezed slightly and I frowned at this 

"What's so funny?" Daryl asked her.

"Nothing, it makes perfect sense" Michonne said still laughing slightly 

"Actually, they're right" Daryl said, me and Zach stared between Daryl and each other, surprised we had guessed it "Undercover" Daryl continued, I was completely shocked by this.

"Wait really?" I asked him shocked and amazed "I've been rooming with a fucking undercover cop?" I asked him

"Yeah, I mean, I don't like to talk about it, some pretty heavy shit you know?" Daryl explained, me and Zach nodded along before realising he might be lying for a bit of fun.

"Come on dude really?" Zach asked wanting conformation. Daryl just looked at us like we were stupid  "Fine, Fine, we'll keep guessing" Zach said.

"Yeah you do that" daryl smirked as Michonne let put a small laugh.

Suddenly, snarling came from behind us, just as we had expected 

"We gon' do this detective" I mocked Daryl standing up, he hummed in response loading his crossbow.

Leaving it there as I want the next scene to be a whole chapter in itself.

And again, sorry for not posting in so long xox
