Morgan: alright i will pick him up you deal with the walker catch back up we will be going straight.

Mike nods at them as Morgan picks up the man on the floor and Duane next to Morgan they both start to run straight ahead. As Mike takes flips apart of his jacket open to reveal at the waist his metal baseball bat holster like a gun on right hip. He takes out the metal bat brisk walks up to the walker.

Mike: alright Becky lets go to work( swings the bat at the walkers head)

Morgan: What? Can't handle a little cardio Mike? (ties the last knot)

Mike: normally i can if i was not dodging and weaving and killing some walkers to protect you and Duane (fully catches his breath)

Morgan turns around and head back to Mike and Duane who is sitting on the makeshift bed

Morgan: then shut up sit down and stop complaining you asked to come with us (looking at Mike and then sits down next to Duane)

Mike: Yeah I did (sits down on a chair) why did you tie the guy up?

Morgan: even though you told me he was a cop, I still need to make sure it did not get bit before Duane knocked his ass out. Besides, we don't even know if he is friendly or not.

Mike: True, got anywhere I can lay down at?

Morgan: yeah there is a couch over there you can lay on
