Beth scoffed. "This is Maggie, Glenn, and Ellie. Why are we even debating?"
"We ain't. I'll go after them." Daryl was antsy to get his daughter back.
"This place sounds secure." AJ reminded them, he too was anxious for Ellie's sake. He sat next to Carol who was easing the new baby to sleep quietly.
"He's right, you can't go alone." Rick nodded towards the boy.
"I'll go." Beth instantly shrugged.
"Me, too." Axel stepped next to her.
Oscar shifted on his feet, locking eye with Rick. "I'm in."

"You're a good man, AJ." He walked off quickly.

"Wasn't this place overrun?" She spoke calmly, squinting against the sun.
