otis got his stuff and went outside followed by rick, shane, patricia, me and hershel
"just get what you need and get out of there." rick said
shane and otis put their stuff if the back of the truck.
"you stay strong, all right?" otis said to patricia while hugging her
rick offered otis a gun, otis looked at hershel and took the gun from rick.
"thats a fine weapon, rick. I'll bring it back in good shape." otis said
otis walked to the back of the truck and placed the weapon in his bag of gear for the trip. shane knocked on the side of the truck letting otis know that he wanted to go now.
otis now had his own gun, he looked back at patricia and opened the truck door and closed it behind himself.
shane and otis sat in the car exchanging a few words before they drove off. patricia went inside and hershel tapped rick arm.
"let's go check on your boy." hershel said
hershel and rick started walking as did I. rick made sure the door stayed open so that I could get inside and they all went to the room carl was holding up in.
maggie went out not that long ago to get lori, she should be back any minute now. I wanted to see carl but it's more important for lori and rick to.
plus, there are a lot of people in there anyways.
rick walked out of carls room a few minutes later, and we went outside. I followed.
the it was about sunset, the sky was a orange color, the breeze was nice and chilly.
I sat down in the chair and looked around. the place was quiet. there was a lot of land around and honestly it is really pretty.
hershel walked out and stood over by rick.
"this place is really beautiful." rick said
"been in my family for 160 years." hershel said
"I can't believe how serene it is. how untouched. you're lucky" rick said
"we weren't completely unscathed. we lost friends, neighbors. the epidemic took my wife, my stepson." hershel said
"I'm sorry.."rick replied
"my daughters were spared. I'm grateful to god for that. these people here, all we've got left are each other. just hoping we can ride it out in peace till theres a cure." hershel said
"we were at the CDC. it's gone now. there is no cure." rick said
hershel chuckled and smiled at rick.
"I don't believe it. when AIDS came along, everyone panicked. one boy in town came down with it and some parents pulled their children from school so they didn't have to sit in the same room." hershel said
"this is a whole other thing." rick said
"thats what we always say..'this ones different'" hershel said
"well, this one is." rick said
"mankind's been fighting plagues from the start. we get ours behinds kicked for a while. then we bounce back. it's nature correcting herself, restoring some balance." hershel explained
"I wish I could believe that." rick said
I heard a horses galloping and I stood up from my chair. the horse already got hershel and ricks attention.
rick went off the porch and went up to maggie and lori.
"hershel.." I said
he turned his head and smiled at me.
