"If there's trouble you got enough firepower?" Rick asked Glenn as him, Maggie, Rosita, Michonne, and Abraham were going to go see the 'cars' that Aaron and his colleague brought.

"Got it" Glenn says adjusting his gun strap.

"Walkies are out of juice, you're not back in sixty minutes we'll come" Rick says "which might just be what they want" Michonne nods than walks out.
"If we're all in here we're all a target"

"I got the area covered" Daryl says

"I do too" I say and Daryl turns around so quickly I don't have time to stop making me bump into him.

"No you don't" he tells me and I give him a look.

"Now you wanna play the father role?" I asked and he gave me a look than put his crossbow on his back.

"I'm trying" he says before walking out. I turn around look at Rick where he begins giving out commands again.

"All right, groups of two find somewhere safe within eyeshot" he says and I walked up to him going to grab Judith. "I'll keep her, she's safer with me"

"Are you sure?" I asked and he nods so I take a breath in and look up to Aaron before quickly walking towards him.
"Look I believe you but if this is some trap he and everyone else won't hesitate too kill you" I warn before walking away with Carl and the others.

When Carl and I find a place in eyeshot we sit down and have our guns ready just in case. I sigh and put my hair up into a tight ponytail before checking around us.

"What do you think about this?" Carl asks and I shrug while looking around.

"I think Rick is being paranoid and that this guy is telling the truth" I say and he nods.

"Me too, but you cant believe everything or anyone anymore" he says and tighten my ponytail again.

"Are you okay?" He asked and I slightly laughed than looked at the ground before feeling a tear slide down. What is up with these emotions?!

"Yeah" I say quickly wipping the stray tear. He knew these last few days I've been emotional so he didn't question why I was tearing up, he pressed his forehead against mine before kissing it.

When we all made it back inside the barn we looked at the stacks of canned food Rosita and them had found after finding the vehicles, my stomach growled but nobody hears.

"This, this is all ours now" Rick says to Aaron after examining the cans.

"There's more than enough"

"It's ours whether or not we go to your camp"

"Wh- what at do you mean why wouldn't we go?" Carl asks.

"If he were lying or if he wanted to hurt us he would have but he isn't and he doesn't" Michonne tells Rick getting annoyed. "We need this, so we're going, all of us" and I hold in a snicker, damn she over powered you Rick. "Somebody say something if they feel differently"

"I'm in, this barn smells like horse shit" Daryl says making me give out a tiny laugh.

"Yeah, we're going" Rick finally agrees making me smile knowing that we wouldn't be on the road scavenging or worrying about supplies much longer.
