Carl's pov
The screen filled with the image of a cop car on the side of the road.

A Sheriff's car drives up to the intersection of a Georgia county road.. Wrecked and abandoned vehicles are scattered across the intersection.

"What a lovely sight" Negan snorts sarcastically.

"Better than where you live" I snorted

(Engine stops) (Trunk clicks)

A sheriff's deputy gets out and takes a gas can and funnel out of the trunk. He walks past the remains of an eighteen wheeler and more wrecked or abandoned cars and down a hill toward the gas station. The empty camp is littered with children's' toys, tents and household items. Dead people still sit in some of the cars.

(Flies buzzing)

He looks up.

"Hooly shit I was young" my dad said and my mom laughed along with michoone.

A homemade sign reads No Gas.

"Tough luck" said morales

He looks around for other options.

(Shuffling footsteps)

On hearing the sounds he looks in their direction. He kneels down to look under a car. He sees a child in a pink housecoat and bunny slippers stoop and pick up a teddy bear. He stands up and sees a girl about age eight walking away.

"Aww poor kid" Carol says sadly and I couldn't blame her losing Sophia, Lizzie and Mika.

Rick:  Little girl? I'm a police man. Little girl. Don't be afraid, okay? Little girl?

"Not going to work stupid" Negan laughs and I glare.

"Shut up Negan" I spat angrily and he mock flinched. 

The child turns around. Her eyes are dead. Her mouth is gashed and dried blood has stained her pajamas. The deputy sighs in disappointment and sorrow.

"So you weren't- like y'know- surprised? I mean you saw a zombie for the first time and your disappointed?" Daryl said.

Deputy (panting)

Little Girl Walker (growling)

Slowly she starts shuffling toward him gaining speed as she comes.

Rick:  Oh my God.

"S'wrong with you man?" T-dog asks and dad laughs and motions towards the screen.

He backs up and pulls out his weapon and puts a bullet in the head of Little Girl Walker.  Rick's face is pained and sorrowed as he lowers his weapon.

"I would only be surprised if your face wasn't pained after shooting a kid" said Amy

(Theme music playing)

"Nice theme song and video!" Laughed Negan. But no one could tell if it was sarcastic or not, so we just laughed nervously with him.

"Who's the leather jacket dude?" Sophia whispered in my ear, making me jump as I wasn't expecting it.

I got a mischievous smile and smirked.
