season three, episode twelve
Awkward silence filled the car as Michonne drove with Rick in the passenger seat and Carl and Emory in the backseat.
Michonne was slowly becoming part of the group even if the others didn't want to say that, the others being Carl, Daryl and Rick.
They hardly knew the woman but she was a badass with a katana and helped them save Maggie and Glenn. Emory felt sorry for her though, sorry that Andrea was such a shitty friend that she chose a man over her and despite hearing how awful said man was, she still accused Michonne of being the one to poison the group.
She tried to befriend Michonne which hadn't been a success but she wasn't giving up.
All eyes focused on a man, hiking alongside the road.
"Hey! Hey! Slow down! Slow down! Slow—I'm begging you! Please!" The man yelled as they drove past him. Emory and Carl watched as he fell to the ground from the back of the car.
Rick clearly didn't feel inclined to help him, which Emory understood. It was hard to trust strangers now, and with the governor and his men hellbent on killing them, they couldn't trust anyone.
Michonne pulled off to the side, driving around the cars that blocked the road. Everyone stared at the dead bodies that sat in the car beside them. A walker trapped under a tipped over car, snarling had their gazes shifting focus.
The car came to a stop making Rick look to Michonne. She pressed the gas making the tires spin in place. Emory jumped as a gang of walkers slammed against the car from all sides. She wondered if they'd ever catch a break.
"Cover you ears" Rick informs making them do just that as slowly rolled down his window just enough to shove his gun through and start shooting walkers one by as they came to his window.
Once the walkers were all dead, he was the first to open his door, everyone following after him. Rick began looking through the cars for something to help move the car.
Emory watched him pull out a suitcase before rifling through it.
"Yeah this'll work," he said holding up a floral piece of cloth.
"Tell me when" Michonne said climbing back into the drivers seat as Rick gathered up some sticks.
"Hey" he said getting Carls attention, stopping him from kicking at a walkers head. Emory climbed into the car, realizing Rick was having a father son moment with Carl, trying to teach him what he was about to do.
Her and Michonne could hear Carl voicing his unhappiness about Michonne coming. His reasons were valid but not the whole story.
"Hey! Help me! I'm begging you! Don't leave! Please! Hey!" they all heard the hitchhiker yelling down the road as he began to catch up. Rick tapped on the car signaling Michonne to start the engine. She managed to pull the car forward and the boys climbed inside, ignoring the hitchhikers pleas.
