~Daryl's P.O.V.~

On the way to Atlanta I couldn't stop thinking about how I yelled at Haley. I felt bad but I was angry. But I knew she must have a good reason, and I didn't even let her explain. We made it to a building and began to come up with a plan. We're going into the hospital, we're gonna bring back our people.

"At sundown we fire a shot into the air. Get two of them out on patrol. Then once it's dark enough that the rooftop spotter won't see us, that's when we go. We cut the locks on one of the stairways take it to the fifth floor" Rick said

I began to get distracted while thinking about Haley

"I open the door, Daryl takes the guard out"

I concentrated back when I heard my name from Rick going over the plan

"How?" Tyreese asked

"He slits his throat" Rick said looking at Tyreese "This is all about us doing this quiet, keeping the upper hand. They're not expecting us. From there, we fan out. Knives and silenced weapons. We need to be fast" Rick looked down and continued drawing out the plan "Tyreese, Sasha, take them. Daryl, you take care of whoever is in the kitchen. I got Dawn. If they're smart, the rest of them will give up. Then it'll be five on three. Sox on three once we get a weapon to Beth"

"Twelve on three. The wards will help" Noah said

Tyreese nodded "That's the best case. What's the worst case? All it takes is one of those cops going down the hall at the wrong time. Then it's not quiet. All hands on deck. We're talking about a lot of bullets flying around"

He's right. Once you really think about it

"If that's what it takes" Sasha said

"It's not. If we get a couple of her cops alive out here, we do an even trade" Tyreese suggested

I softly nodded. He's got a point

"Theirs for ours. Everyone goes home" Tyreese said

Rick stood up "Yea, I get it. And that might work" He looked at Tyreese "This will work"

I shook my head "Nah, that'll work too" Everyone turned to look at me "You say this Dawn, she's trying to keep it together right?"

"Trying and doing are two different things" Noah said

"You take two of her cops away. What choices does she have?" I said knowing I was right "Everybody goes home. Like he says" I said pointing to Tyreese

Rick kept looking at me knowing I was right. We got out weapons ready and began to head out. Rick began to walking next to me

"I could see you've been distracting yourself lately. And I know it's because of Haley. But right now I need you to focus on getting Beth and Carol back. That's all that matters"

I nodded "Yea I know" I looked down and we continued walking as we got into position. Noah came back from throwing gun shots and the police car came drifting in. Two cops came out and drew their guns. We put out guns up and went into position

~Haley's P.O.V.~

I opened my eyes and groaned as I slowly sat up. I clinched on my stomach
