Anti-Walker

Inside the clothing section ...

The Walkers continue to pound on the thick glass of the doors, which already has cracks, hungry for fresh, hot meat.

The thick glass doors are double, so if they break the first and pass there is still a layer of security before they enter.

-I will watch from here, you can go to the other side-

Rick stands behind the counter where he sells clothes, sits in the chair, and points the hunting rifle at the Walkers.

-Okay, just don't fall asleep-

Daniel beckons Andrea and walks to the other side where a small jewelry and accessories section is located.

-Hey ... I'm sorry I threatened you, it wasn't me-

Andrea, walking in front of Daniel, stops and turns around, looks Daniel in the eye and shows her regret. She rubs her hands against each other nervously.

-It does not matter, I did not see malice in your eyes, but if you were upset, we would all be in that situation, I might react worse than you. Also, not every day a sexy woman threatens you with a gun-

Daniel stands in front of her. Daniel is 11 centimeters taller so he looks down, looks into his green eyes like emeralds.

-Again with that, do not call me sexy, I know you say it just because of the situation. It was also your fault that we are in this situation-

Andrea does not believe him and reminds him.

-It's true, when you jumped on top of me and pointed the gun at me, I thought "this sexy woman is pointing a gun at me, even though I would like to point my gun at her." That's why I'll make it up to you and you'll come out of this alive-

Daniel speaks in two ways with a mischievous smile and gently holds Andrea's waist. He doesn't care about the Walkers around him, not now.

Andrea forgets everything, the tension in her eyes is visible and she makes you hold your breath to see what will happen.

A Walker hits the glass with a rock in his hands, they both look there. The atmosphere is lost.

-These… these accessories are cute, don't you think? -

Andrea nervously separates from Daniel and tries to change the subject by pointing to jewelry and other accessories.

Daniel looks askance at that Walker and thinks that even though he is dead he may still be inopportune.

-Yes, they are cute, do you want to take some? -

Daniel can only follow the conversation so as not to make Andrea feel bad.

-But your friend is a policeman, shouldn't you obey the law? -

Andrea looks at Rick for a moment as he was staring intently towards the doors.

-I'm also a police officer, haven't you seen my handcuffs? - (Daniel)

-Haha, and that's why you're a policeman? - (Andrea)

Daniel removes his badge from his jacket pocket and shows it to him, Andrea stops laughing.

-Just kidding… I'm just a student, this is something I found in a police station-

Daniel tells the truth, although the badge is his, the police gave it to him, he is not an official police officer.

-You scared me…

Andrea lets out a sigh and slaps Daniel's arm with a relieved smile.

-Why do you care about the law if the government has collapsed? -

Daniel is intrigued. Andrea starts looking at rings and necklaces.

-I was a civil lawyer before all this happened, I defended innocent people and punished criminals using the power of the law-

Andrea seems to remember good times from the slight smile on her small, pink lips.

-Then you are a heroine who likes to do justice-

Daniel looks at some silver or platinum rings as he tries them on, talks to Andrea.

-I am not a heroine, I lost many cases and innocent people were imprisoned, also, even if I want to do it, it is no longer possible now ... -

Andrea doesn't seem to want to talk about it anymore, she tries on a necklace with a red gem, but she doesn't like it and returns it to her place.

-Which one do you like the most?-

Daniel holds three rings in front of Andrea. The first has the engraving of a dragon, the second the engraving of a sword and the third the engraving of a heart.

-Haber… let me think… I like the dragon because it is imposing and shows respect. The sword symbolizes the attack. And the heart symbolizes love ... I really like all of them, I don't know which one to choose-

Andrea frowns thinking of a solution.

-Then it's fine because I also like all three, we have more in common than I thought-

Daniel begins to put the rings in order, one dragon, two sword and three heart.

The first in the right hand, index finger.

The second on the right hand, ring finger.

The third in the left hand, middle finger.

-Thanks for the help, now let's choose one for you-

Daniel starts looking for a necklace for Andrea.

-But won't your friend be angry? - (Andrea)

-Rick, I'm going to take some accessories, do you have a problem with that? - (Daniel)

-No, why would I care? Now the law no longer works, take what you want- (Rick)

-You see?. Don't tell me you never stole something and now you're nervous? - (Daniel)

-It may not have done it ... - (Andrea)

-This will suit you- (Daniel)

-I don't think so- (Andrea)

Daniel grabs a silver heart-shaped necklace and shows it to Andrea. Then he stands behind her.

-Come on Andrea, trust me, you will like it-

Andrea hesitates for a moment as she looks at Daniel out of the corner of her eye, then looks forward and leaves her delicate neck exposed to Daniel, her blonde ponytail tied by a burgundy hair tie, but her muscles were tense, she seems to still not trust Daniel, it is normal.

-Now you are my accomplice-

Daniel raises his hands and grabs a small mirror to show Andrea what she looks like.

-Is beautiful-

Andrea turns around and looks in the mirror, raises an eyebrow and touches the necklace with her fingers.

-Then keep it, now that you are my accomplice you will have to steal something for yourself. Or else I will think that you look at me like a thief-

Daniel tries to convince her, he saw her looking at a special necklace and he liked it, but she returned it, although she gives him glances from time to time.

-MMM I dont know-

Andrea liked the necklace Daniel gave her but stealing herself is another matter.

-Vamo I saw that you were looking at this necklace in particular, why don't you take it? -

Daniel points to a beautiful mermaid-shaped necklace encrusted with tiny jewels.

-I don't particularly like ... but I have a sister, you know, her name is Amy, she is a special girl in a certain sense, she likes dragons, unicorns and fantasy beings, but mermaids are her favorites and her birthday is past tomorrow and I was thinking of wearing this necklace ... but my conscience would feel guilty if I do, I don't think I get used to this new world yet- (Andrea)

-That is not true, the best thing is that you do not get used to this world, you always need someone who has values. You must not forget that. In addition, you will give it to your sister, so you should not feel guilty, I think that if you see her smile when she receives it, you will feel very good- (Daniel)

-I don't know why I'm talking about this ... but I feel more comfortable now that I did- (Daniel)

-And I'm glad you did, to know Andrea, I believe that all the actions you do, come back to you, good or bad- (Daniel

-What do you mean by that? - (Andrea)

-I mean if you do something good, something good will happen to you, depending on the intention you use. Look, I'll give you an example, a person murders two men, but he did it with the intention of saving another, so in the future he will receive something good. But in the opposite case, one person murders another for pleasure, then he will receive something bad- (Daniel)

-I didn't expect you to believe that, a moment ago you stole three rings for yourself- (Andrea)

-That's because I'm not stealing from a person who needs it, I'm stealing from an abandoned store, so I don't have a guilty conscience- (Daniel)

-Now I understand ... thanks, it makes me feel better wearing it-

Andrea smiles and grabs her necklace.

-Then I deserve a small gift right? ...-

Daniel gives him a little kiss on her cheek.

Andrea is surprised and reacts by slapping him.

-What happened?!-

Rick gets up and asks.

-It's nothing Rick, I just dropped something-

Daniel lies while he looks at Andrea.

-I'm so sorry, I didn't want to do that-

Andre's face is full of guilt and he caresses Daniel's cheek gently where he slapped him.

-Don't worry, I spread myself and received what I deserved, I hope your sister likes the gift-

Daniel turned around and left as he grabs a pink ring that seems to be made of Gold Opal, his smile disappeared, he walked towards Rick, he had to leave Andrea thinking about him if she wanted to have a better impression.

Andrea looks at him distressed as she sees Daniel's back and has the mermaid necklace in her hands.

-Are you OK?-

Rick asks Daniel in surprise when he sees a red mark on his left cheek.

-I just had a little misunderstanding with Andrea-

Daniel will not say what really happened, this is something between the two of them only.

-Daniel, be honest with me, from what he saw, can we trust this group? -

Rick looks Daniel in the eye, he just wants to find his family, and what Morgan said is that, quite possibly they are at the camp in Atlanta, here.

-I don't know what the other members of this group will be like, but these are good people, except for Merle Dixon. Now we have information, the camp in Atlanta is gone, we will help you and find your family. We will not be able to do much if we are alone, with more people there is a better chance that one will have information. And if the worst comes and they try to betray us, there is no other choice but to defend us, I can only confirm that when I meet the rest of the group-

Daniel sits at the counter.

-You're talking like we're safe-

Rick trusts Daniel, but he doesn't understand him now.

-That's called having a goal, if we think about what we will do next, we will be more motivated to overcome difficult situations-

Daniel talks to Rick and makes him understand.

-I hope you're right- (Rick)

-Rick, now you are only thinking about your family and that clouds your judgment, let me make the decisions and we will be better-

Daniel stands in front of Rick, on the other side of the counter and looks directly at him with his light brown eyes showing confidence in his words.

Rick nods his head.

The Walkers break the glass, Daniel removes the Glock from his holster, Rick aims for the door, and Andrea comes running over to this side.

-Remove the safety if you are going to shoot, have you never used a weapon?! -

Andre puts the mermaid necklace in his pocket and removes the pistol he pointed at Daniel from his holster.

-Sorry…-

Andrea speaks with a very low voice, she still feels guilty for what she did to Daniel and she does not want to argue with him so she agrees without thinking.

Daniel removes the safety from Andrea's gun and with a frown he shows her a little how to use the gun, she thanked him with a small smile, she thinks that now Daniel is not so angry with her because he is helping her, he is a good man .

The Walkers begin pounding on the thick glass doors, the last layer of defense before they enter the building.

-We can't find a way out-

At that moment Morales, Glenn and Jacqui appear, but not with good news.

-We have to find a way out now-

Rick talks to everyone while he takes aim at the Walkers, at any moment they will break those glasses and be trapped.

-We go to the roof, we will have a better position from there to find a solution-

After Daniel turned around and spoke, everyone started running to the roof.

-Thanks. A Walker almost caught me but this saved my life-

Glen hands Daniel the fighting knife with some blood on the tip.

-Don't give it back to me yet, we haven't left this place and you need a weapon-

Daniel does not accept it and continues up the stairs, Glenn remains standing alone and then runs after everyone shouting to wait for him, he did not want to stay alone in a place full of Walkers ...

-Place yourself at the ends of the roof and observe the streets in search of a vehicle or place to escape-

Upon reaching the roof, Daniel delegates orders to find a better solution.

Daniel watches but he can't find something.

3 minutes later, everyone was reunited.

-I found a parking lot for trucks that transport goods-

None of them found anything useful except Rick.

-Let me see-

Daniel grabs the binoculars and watches where Rick indicates. The parking lot is a bit far, and with the streets full of walkers, even if some make it, more than half will die.

-It's dangerous, but it's a plan-

Daniel did not want to give up and gave suggestions, it was dangerous, yes, but it was the best solution they have now.

-Listen to the boy, at least he has a plan that will kill you all-

Merle, handcuffed, speaks sarcastically.

-Shut up Merle-

Jacqui was nervous now, her life is in danger and Merle does not help at all, on the contrary, she creates problems.

-You will never pass the Walkers- (Morales)

-It may be possible, listen to you that Walkers are sensitive to sounds, we can use the horn of another car to distract them, what more capabilities do they have? - (Daniel)

-In addition to hearing you, they can see you, they smell you and if they catch you between their claws, they eat you- (Morales)

-Can you smell us? - (Rick)

-You can't? - (Glenn)

-The Walkers smell like death, we smell like life, it's unmistakable- (Andrea)

-Rick, are you thinking what I'm thinking? -

Daniel smiles at Rick who smiles back.

...

-Please reconsider your idea-

Morales asks Daniel that he was throwing big raincoats at everyone, they were going to do something that is going to get them dirty.

-It's already decided, if you have a better idea tell me-

Daniel presses a raincoat against Morales's chest and looks him in the eyes from only about 20 centimeters and then walks away from him, Morales does not speak anymore to oppose his decision.

They exit through the back door, which is where Daniel Rick and Glenn enter the building.

Daniel, grabbing the Walker's legs and Rick's arms, enter the building again, with Glenn holding the door open, before the 15 Walkers at 10 meters notice them.

Daniel and Rick in their beige trench coats, leave the Walker lying on the floor of a small empty workshop in the building.

Daniel has the backpack under his raincoat, it seems that he has a big hump.

Rick breaks an ax emergency box, and removes the ax from inside.

He then he was about to cut the Walker ...

-Waiting!-

Daniel stops Rick when everyone's eyes closed, then reaches down and searches the walker's pockets, finds his wallet.

-His name is Billy Johnson. Georgia license plate. He was born in 1975-

Daniel hands the ID card to Glenn for him to look at and pass to the others.

-He had 115 dollars in his wallet and a family photo of him hugging a cute girl with two children, they look happy-

Daniel hands the photo to Andrea.

-This man was like us before all this happened. She was worried that she had money to feed his family, he watched the Super Bowl and had bills to pay-

Everyone was serious listening to Daniel, Rick felt more identified and touched his pocket where he has a family photo of him, Lori and Carl.

-When we get out of here alive, I'll tell you about the time Rick fell asleep at work-

Daniel promises.

-Hey, don't tell them that-

Rick is shocked and tries to hide it.

-LOL-

They all laughed, they didn't think someone as serious as Rick would do those things. They already wanted to hear the whole story.

-Well Rick, you can do it-

Daniel walks away.

-One more thing, he was an organ donor-

Glenn adds other information.

Rick now wearing his protective mask, raises his ax and cuts a piece from the walker's arm, producing a grotesque sound of minced meat.

They all look away and move a little further, it is difficult to see even for Daniel that he had been calm before.

Rick continues to cut the waist and other parts.

Some cough and others seem to want to vomit.

-Who wants to continue? -

Rick removes the protective mask and wipes his sweaty face.

-Let me do it-

Daniel finishes putting on the latex gloves and grabs the protective mask, uses it and also grabs the ax, it is better to do it earlier to get rid of the repulsive feeling now and not when he is fighting a Walker.

Daniel cuts off the legs and head for a while and then passes the equipment to Morales.

-Remember to wear gloves when everyone does. We do not want infected blood to touch his skin or eyes by mistake and become

Daniel talks as he wipes his forehead with the clean sleeve of his raincoat.

Everyone nods and begins smearing blood, organ parts, and so forth on Daniel, Rick, and Glenn's raincoats.

-Why should I go too? -

Glenn doesn't seem to want to.

-Don't you remember the plan? I'll be the distraction and you'll guide Rick through the streets, helping open the back door of the truck and loading them all up. We need you Glenn-

Daniel reminds him what to do.

-But this is disgusting, it's very bad-

Glenn can't take long.

-Come on Glenn, don't make that face think of cute things, like a bunny, a puppy or a kitten-

Daniel tries to cheer him on because Glenn was making a puke face. He wasn't doing very well either as Andrea was placing a bowel around his neck as a scarf.

-Yes, dead bunnies, puppies and kittens-

T-Dog adds a comment.

Glenn couldn't take it anymore, he turned around and started vomiting.

-How can you say that? You're sick in the head-

Andrea severely scolds T-Dog.

-You should have let Merle hit him more-

Jacqui is tough on her words.

-I am sorry brother-

T-Dog apologizes.

-Pudrete brother-

Glenn insults him.
