I held back a laugh "adorable. you wanna go? go"

He looked at me confused "You're not trying to stop me."

Me " You ain't going. "

Eugene " Because I'm a coward. "

Me " because you're smart."

Eugene " I'm a liability. Always have been. Relying on others to survive, counting on their courage due to a dearth of my own. Hell, the only way I bucked natural selection was my penchant for prevarication. Means lying. "

I nodded "I figured."

Eugene "Yeah, well, I'm ashamed to say it's my only discernible skill. Do you think people are born brave, or do they become it? "

Me " Both. "




Next day. morning. 

Daryl and Rosita walked inside. 

Eugene "Max? 

Rosita "she's not coming. "

Eugene "You found her?"

Rosita " I did, but it was too late. She's already in police custody. I'm sorry, Eugene. "

Daryl "Shift's about to happen. We should get going. "

Eugene "Then it's time I bid you adieu."

Me " I'll check on the others. Meet you back at your place."

 i walked out while Rosita and Daryl stayed. 




At the warehouse. 

I was fighting a guy who was trying to kill. He came with a partner but i was able to kill the partner. 

The guy was choking me while his partner turned into a walker. 

I was barely getting any air.

Suddenly he was killing and pushed off of me. 

I coughed out. 

It was Daryl, he also killed the walker. 

He walked over to me and kneeled down in front of me "you okay?"

I coughed out "They took the kids. "

Daryl "They took everyone. "

I looked at him shocked.

We walked down a path. 

Me "I don't know. They jumped me. They even took Dog. You think they were Troopers?"

Daryl " I think they were working for Pamela. We got to find Mercer. "

Me "Well, you don't think he would turn us in? "

He didn't say anything. 

I sighed " There is one other person. "

Daryl "Hornsby?"

Me " He's Pamela's little bitch. He knows all the dark shit that goes on here. "

Daryl "You know where to find him? "

I nodded "Yeah, but this isn't gonna be easy."

Daryl " When is it ever? "


In the cell's. 

Daryl and i had taken care of the troopers. 

I grabbed the keys and we looked through the cell doors to find Hornsby.
