G.I. Jane

Judge, Jury, Executioner

Shaylee's POV

Yesterday my dad and Shane took Randall out to let him go but they ended up coming back with Randall and they look like they fought each other. Beth also tried to kill herself while they were gone but fortunately didn't succeed

"So what ya gonna do?" Lori asks my dad as she pours some tea into a cup from her squatted position by the fire and I velcro my jacket closed

"We'd all feel better if we knew the plan." She adds as she hands Carl the tea

"Is there a plan?" Andrea asks

"We gonna keep him here?" Glenn asks as I see Daryl walking back over to us after his "chat" with Randall

"We'll know soon enough." My dad says as everyone else notices Daryl

"Boy there's got a gang, thirty men. They have heavy artillery and they ain't lookin' to make friends. They roll through here, our boys are dead. And our women, they're gonna-- they're gonna wish they were." Daryl explains as I notice his bloody knuckles

"What did you do?" Carol asks

"Had a little chat." Daryl replies

"No one goes near this guy." My dad says

"Rick, what are you gonna do?" Lori asks as she steps closer to my dad

"We have no choice. He's a threat. We have to eliminate the threat." My dad explains

"You're just gonna kill him?" Dale asks

"It's settled. I'll do it today." My dad says before walking away from all of us causing Dale to follow after him and I hurry into the RV and grab the first aid kit before exiting the RV

"Sit." I tell Daryl as I point to a chair

"The fuck for?" Daryl asks

"Just sit the fuck down." I say earning a huff from Daryl before he sits down and I kneel down in front of him

"Gimme your rag." I say before he places his rag in my hand

"Look at you takin' such good care of us." Glenn teases

"Fuck you." I seethe with a playful smile as I pour some peroxide on the rag before carefully grabbing ahold of Daryl's hand and wiping the rag across his knuckles

"Ow! Shit!" Daryl seethes as he jerks his hand away from me

"Sorry." I say softly as he hands me his hand back and I continue getting a couple of curse words out of him

A few moments later I finish. I screw the lid back on the peroxide and stand up

"All done." I say as I hand him his rag back

T-Dog drapes his arm over my shoulders and pulls me into his side as I look up at him

"It's gonna be alright." He whispers softly to me before pecking my lips

"So how do we do this? Just take a vote?" Glenn asks as he looks around the room

"Does it have to be unanimous?" I ask

"How about majority rules?" Lori suggests as she leans against the door frame

"Well, let's-- let's just see where everybody stands. Then we can talk through the options." My dad says from behind the loveseat

"Well, the way I see it, there's only one way to move forward." Shane says as he stands beside Andrea leaning against the fireplace
