Nothing made sense anymore, not since they got to the farm.

The group had settled down after dinner, everyone was asleep in their tents and the Greene's in their farmhouse.

The moon shone through the tents, leaving a little amount of light.

Maia couldn't sleep, her two siblings slept on the air mattress next to her, snoring softly and she stared up at the ceiling of the tent.

Her mind was racing, she didn't know what to do.

She had already grown suspicious of Anthony and Maggie's relationship, if you could even call it that.

All her mind did was race.

Overthinking had always been a prominent factor in Maia's life, you could say it came with the anxiety and unwanted trauma.

Poor girl.

Her mind had been all over the place, but it had always circled back to one person.

The last person she wanted to think about.

Glenn.

She had realised how she had brought that feeling of disappointment over herself the second she lied to Glenn.

Maia looked towards her sleeping siblings, Anthony on the left side and Luna in the middle.

She quietly got up and exited the tent she was supposed to be sleeping in and sat underneath a tree away from the camp.

She basked in her silence and her loud thoughts until she heard a twig snap from behind her.

She turned around quickly and saw the man she was dreading to see.

Glenn.

Of course it was Glenn, that was just her luck.

"Oh it's just you." Maia spoke just above a whisper and Glenn was startled by the sudden voice.

"Maia?" Glenn stepped forward quietly and looked at Maia who had already turned back to look into the distance.

Maia sighed and Glenn stepped next to her.

"Can I sit?" Glenn sounded slightly nervous, he was always thinking about that conversation, he hoped she remembered it, he hoped that she was lying and she enjoyed it.

He knew she was drunk, he couldn't expect her to remember anything.

"Go ahead." Maia replied softly and stared out into the distance before Glenn hesitantly took a seat next to her.

"Can't sleep?" Glenn asked softly, causing Maia to nod and purse her lips in response.

"I'm just gonna assume you can't either." Maia held her knees to her chest and laid her chin on her knees.

Glenn saw how tired she was, the way her eyes were heaving, like she hadn't slept in days.

"Nope." He replied softly, gazing at Maia as if he was admiring her, but then a thought crossed his mind.

"Can I tell you something? It's just — I need to tell somebody." Glenn spoke abruptly and Maia lifted her head off her knees and looked towards him.

"Yeah, what's up?" Maia asked softly, her gaze flickering to his lips every so often. She wasn't sure how she felt about Glenn, she was confused.

She wanted to like him but something told her not to.

"I..." Glenn trailed off as if he couldn't get it out, Maia licked her dry lips and examined Glenn's face as he stared at the ground almost trying to find the words.

"Take your time." She spoke softly, her gaze was captivating and he looked up, immediately locking eyes with her.

His eyes were slightly wide and he raised his eyebrows.

"Don't tell anyone, please." He pleaded and Maia nodded before he sighed in relief, he felt he could trust her.

"Lori is pregnant." Glenn whispered and Maia's jaw dropped.

"What?" Maia's eyes were wide and she leaned forward in disbelief.

"How do you know?" She leaned closer to whisper just to be cautious.

"When I- Uh went on that pharmacy run with Maggie, Lori asked me to get a pregnancy test." Glenn whispered and watched how close he was to Maia now.

Maia was in shock, she didn't have any clue what to say.

"I just needed to tell somebody." Glenn sighed out and leaned his back against the bark of the tree.

"It's almost sunrise." Glenn tried changing the subject, turning to Maia seeing she was still trying to process what he just told her.

"Uh, yeah, I-I don't know what to say. Has she told Rick?" Maia asked curiously.

"No." Glenn replied softly and Maia sighed.

"Holy shit." Maia sighed.

The two sat in silence for a few minutes as the sun started to rise.

Maia yawned softly and started fiddling with her hands, just being in Glenn's presence made her feel so different.

It was a good type of different...

She felt her palms starting to sweat just thinking about it, she wiped her palms on her leggings, a small habit of hers that Glenn had picked up on.

He noticed whenever she was nervous or anxious, she would wipe her hands on her pants.

He glanced at her as she did so, then placed her chin back on her knees, watching the sun slowly rise.

He kept his gaze on her, watching her every move.

Was he making her nervous?

No, Maia is never nervous.

It could've been a possibility...

Glenn was gaining some confidence, he didn't know if this was the greatest time but he felt like he had to have some sort of redemption.

In his mind, of course.

Maia looked at Glenn, seeing him gaze at her with these eyes, she couldn't read them but there was obviously some sort of deep meaning behind them.

"What?" She asked softly and he cleared his throat shaking his head. She had laid her chins on her forearms as her arms rested on her knees that were close to her chest, gazing at Glenn her eyes were soft and a hint of confusion.

"Uhm, nothing. You're just...really pretty." He spoke slowly as the sun slowly started shining on their faces.

Maia was shocked by his sudden confidence, she had only known him to be this shy guy who played video games and delivered pizza.

She looked down at her knees and smiled slightly.

"Oh...Thanks." Maia gave him a small smile trying to hide her small blush, she only got complimented every so often, or at least nicely by men.

"You're welcome." Glenn smiled and Maia nodded looking down at her feet again, her nose feeling itchy so she tried to scrunch her nose a little bit trying not to hurt it in the process.

It had been two days since it broke and it still hurt but it was slowly healing, nothing she hadn't experienced before. She had changed the small bandage earlier that night causing it to stick a bit better.

She felt like Glenn was watching her every move, it was uncomfortable but also comforting in a sense, however that would only make sense in her mind.

As the sun started to rise the silence grew louder, the tension in the air was palpable. It was definitely there but neither of them would ever act on it or so they thought.

As the sun hit their faces in the horizon, the colours in the sky blended perfectly together as it rose for a new and lovely day on the peaceful farm.

From what you could tell it was at least 6AM and everybody else would be awake soon.

Maia stared at the beautiful horizon allowing herself to take in the beautiful sunlight, she never thought she would be up before sunrise, sitting next to someone, let alone Glenn in peaceful yet tense silence.

Glenn however, couldn't take his eyes off of her, allowing his eyes to examine every small imperfection on her facial features making him become more attracted to her as the minutes passed by.

Maia felt his gaze and after a while then teared her gaze away from this horizon to ask.

"What?" Her voice was soft, almost peaceful.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" She asked softly, her eyes scanning over Glenn's features, seeing as he licked his lips realising that he had been caught.

"Can I do something?" He asked quietly, just above a whisper.

Maia looked at him curiously before nodding.

"Okay." She spoke softly.

Glenn slowly leaned forward and Maia leaned forward once she realised what he was doing, as soon as their faces were inches apart, Izraella got out of her tent which had been closest to where Glenn and Maia were sitting.

Maia's head snapped quickly towards the sound to see Izraella with wide eyes.

Maia and Glenn bumped foreheads once they heard the tent unzip, the small knock of their heads was heard by Izraella who had her jaw practically on the floor.

Glenn and Maia groaned in unison at the sudden contact of their foreheads knocking together before immediately breaking away from each other.

Maia just gave Glenn a sarcastic thumbs up, holding her forehead and stood up, slightly losing her balance before catching herself.

"Shit." She muttered quickly to herself and walked past Izraella who just glanced between the two with wide eyes and jaw dropped.

Glenn was still seated on the ground holding his forehead, and giving Izraella an awkward smile.

That wasn't gonna be a pretty conversation

——————

Anthony stood with a pair of binoculars to his eyes.

He has been paranoid ever since last night at the barn, constantly looking at it and keeping an eye out for literally anything.

The sounds of footsteps neared him and forced himself to peel his eyes away from the binoculars.

"Could you be more obvious?" Maggie's voice piped up as she walked towards Anthony with a basket in her hands.

Anthony sighed in return, rubbing his hand at the back of his neck, Maggie dropping the basket in front of him.

"Here, enjoy." She spoke and Anthony glanced down at the basket before glancing back up at her.

"You're gonna buy my silence with fruit?" Anthony sounded in disbelief.

"Of course not. There's also jerky." Maggie put her hands in her pockets.

"Well, will you please tell me why the hell your dad has a secret barn full of walkers?" Anthony spoke before he licked his lips to speak again.

"It's creepy, really creepy." Anthony sighed and Maggie shushed him.

"You know that, right?" Anthony spoke in the same tone of volume and Maggie shushed him again.

"Just trust me on this, okay?" Maggie sighed before Anthony rubbed his face in frustration.

"But I suck at lying. I can't even play poker because it's too much like lying, Glenn knows that." Anthony liked using his hands when he spoke, flailing them around dramatically before Maggie put her hands on his to stop him from doing it.

"You have to keep this to yourself. You have to. Please." Maggie spoke in a slight sense of desperation before inevitably walking away leaving Anthony with the basket of fruit.

Anthony walked past Glenn and Lori, giving them each a fruit before walking off to the others where he gave Dale and T-Dog a peach as well.

"What's up, Man." T-Dog greeted and Anthony looked up quickly.

"Uh-Oh nothing, nothing." Anthony nodded with an innocent smile warning looks from both of the men before walking off to Maia's direction.

Maia had seemed to be avoiding Izraella, everywhere Izraella went, she made sure not to cross paths, which was almost impossible.

Anthony stopped in front of Maia, who looked up at him curiously.

"Nice basket?" Maia said confusedly.

"You don't even like fruit." Maia sighed and looked in the basket and grabbed an apple.

"There's also jerky." Anthony sighed, his frustration evident.

"What crawled up your ass this morning?" Maia spoke, taking a bite out her apple and looking at Anthony who immediately became nervous, he couldn't lie to his twin sister.

"Nothing, I'm just tired." Anthony spoke and Maia nodded.

"Mhm, sure, what happened last night?" Maia spoke, chewing her apple.

She covered her mouth with her hand.

Anthony held his breath.

"Nothing." He replied with a chuckle.

"So you and Maggie, huh?" Maia swallowed her piece of apple and looked up at her brother who bit his lip.

"Uh, sort of." Anthony spoke softly, causing Maia to raise an eyebrow in curiosity.

"Sort of? What's that supposed to mean?" Maia asked with her raised eyebrow.

Anthony bit his bottom lip, he opened his mouth to talk before Izraella's voice cut him off.

"Maia!" Izraella called out for her friend and Maia's eyes widened and she picked up the basket.

"Izzy!" Maia smiled innocently.

"Can we talk?" Izraella gave Maia a look before Maia chuckled.

"Actually I was just gonna go and give him Daryl some uh, fruit, check up on him you know? Maybe later!" Maia quickly walked off and Anthony looked at Izraella with a confused look.

"What?"

—————

Maia walked with the basket towards Daryl's tent and peeked her head inside.

"I come bearing fruit." Maia holds the basket up and Daryl gives her a blank stare.

"Can I come in or?" Maia stands there awkwardly waiting for an answer and Daryl nods before Maia inevitably sighs in relief.

Maia takes a step inside and sits on a second fold out "bed".

"So, how's your head?" Maia tilted her head looking at Daryl.

"Fine." He replied, fidgeting with an arrow in his hand.

"She nicked you pretty good there." Maia spoke in a soft tone, it was calming.

"Yeah." He fidgeted with the arrow a bit more and Maia took a closer look.

"Is that a Black Horton Scout HD 125 arrow?" Maia asked Daryl who looked at Maia curiously.

"You know your stuff." Daryl chuckled slightly.

"I guess...could I take a look?" Maia asked politely before Daryl handed her the arrow.

"Thanks." Maia breathed out, examining the arrow.

"How old is it?" Maia asked Daryl who laid,looking at her to examine the arrow.

"I don't know, maybe three years?" Daryl raised his eyebrow curiously.

"Did you hunt a lot before this?" Maia handed him his arrow back.

"Yeah, I guess, you seem pretty good with your bow and arrow yourself." Daryl tried to compliment her, he seemed sort of hesitant but Maia acknowledged his attempt.

"Thanks, my mom taught me." Maia muttered before another awkward silence filled the atmosphere again, she gazed around before trying to find a way to fill the silence.

"Uh, fruit?" Maia tilted the basket toward Daryl who reached his hand in the basket grabbing an apple. Maia pursed her lips slightly looking around

"Thanks." Daryl spoke and examined the fruit before sending Maia a nod.

"Uh, I'm gonna go, feel better Bigfoot." Maia tried to joke to ease some awkward tension, she wasn't close with Daryl, or most of the others. She just knew them.

Daryl scoffed and a small ghost of a smile crossed his face when Maia picked up the basket.

"Ha! I got a smile, that's an achievement." Maia snapped her fingers and smiled in victory, the small bags under her eyes slightly fading when she smiled.

"You didn't get a smile." Daryl said flatly, the smile faded.

"I did, I saw it with my own two blind ass eyes." Maia smirked in victory.

"You didn't." Daryl replied.

"I did." Maia replied with a shrug.

"Did not."

"Did to."

"Did not." Daryl said slower.

"Did to." Maia broke the words up into syllables.

"Did not." He spoke with annoyance.

"You're acting like a child." Maia spoke with annoyance.

"Yeah, you are a child." Daryl snapped.

"What does that make you? A grandpa?" Maia rolled her eyes and Daryl flipped her off.

She flipped him off back and exited the tent and walked towards Anthony handing him the basket again.

"Here's your fruit back." Maia spoke, handing Anthony the basket back.

"Why are you avoiding Izzy?" Anthony tilted his head at his sister and she wiped her hands on her pants. One of her many anxious habits, they were never intended; they just happened to be there.

"I'm not avoiding her." Maia shook her head in denial.

"Cut the bullshit, she told me." Anthony snapped and Maia's eyes widened.

"Huh?" She looked at him confused.

"She told me what happened this morning." Anthony lowered his voice looking in the corner of his eye seeing Glenn walking to Dale.

"Did you guys almost kiss, you and my best friend?" Anthony glared down at Maia, he got closer to her face as he whispered.

"No, of course not. You can ask Glenn yourself, nothing happened. Now get your pig breath out of my face." Maia pushed her twin brother's head back.

"Let me call him over just to prove you and Izzy wrong that we weren't gonna kiss okay? Glenn!" Maia called out to Glenn and he came walking over.

"Uh, yeah, Maia, what's wrong?" He stammered slightly.

"Nothing happened this morning right, we weren't gonna kiss or anything, I was just leaning to get the screwdriver Dale dropped and I left it when we hit heads, right?" Maia turned to Glenn, sending him a subtle look, he was shocked at how she came up with that lie on the spot, he just wasn't so sure it was believable.

"Oh yeah, it was the uh- the flathead? was it?" Glenn stuttered, making Anthony not believe them not one bit, he knew Glenn was bad at lying, but Maia was exceptional.

"Yeah, the one Dale dropped by the tree? Did you give it back?" Maia sent Glenn a small look as if to tell him to agree.

"Oh yeah, I put it on the counter." Glenn agreed and Maia nodded, turning back to Anthony who narrowed his eyes at the two.

"See, nothing happened. Tell that to Izzy for me would you?" Maia smiled, patting Anthony's shoulder.

"Tell her yourself." Anthony pointed behind Maia and she huffed.

"Hey." Maia spoke in a sing-song tone trying to cover up the anxiousness in her voice, knowing she'd been caught in a lie.

"Now, it would be great." Izraella smiled bitterly, raising her eyebrows and gripping Maia's forearm with a slight force.

"Okay." Maia whispered anxiously as Izraella ushered Maia away from the two guys in an annoyed and urgent manner. Maia knew this wasn't going to be a fun talk, she'd been avoiding Izraella all day long, she had to talk to her sometime...

She just didn't want to talk now.

—————

"Talk." Izraella ushered Maia away from the group, close to Dale's RV. Carl had been up on his feet by now, he started playing with the kids again as well — engaging in conversation.

The kids couldn't run around because of Carl's stitches, they didn't play any of the games they usually played for Carl's benefit. They only felt like it was necessary so he wouldn't feel left out, so they played small games like X's and O's or even patty cake to keep each other busy.

"Hi." Maia smiled a toothy smile which soon faded into a scowl when Izraella gave her a small but effective glare.

"Fine." Maia sighed before brushing her finger under her nose to avoid an itch and fixing the small bandage that she changed the night before. She took her hand and placed it at the back of her neck and gave Izraella an awkward smile. Izraella had her hands rested on her hips and a glare on her face, she wasn't having whatever crap Maia wanted to pull.

"Cut the crap, Mai, what the hell is going on with you and Glenn?" Izraella spoke with a small hint of desperation, she had never seen her best friend like someone before and too see her lie so much and so often, it wasn't something Izraella was used to.

"Nothing's going on, okay? Doesn't mean anything anyway." Maia muttered the last part leaving Izraella puzzled, her glare faded and she took Maia's hand in hers.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Izraella's eyes were slightly softened, she knew her best friend had some type of feelings for the Rhee man but she just wanted to hear it come from Maia.

"It's nothing, just trying to figure shit out — I guess. If anything, I don't even know what I'm feeling and this morning didn't help either, I was just trying to get that screwdriver and-." Maia rambled on and on until Izraella stopped her by sighing.

"Do not lie to me. I can see right through you." Izraella spoke softly, glancing around to see if anyone was near.

Maia sighed and looked away before leaning forward slightly.

"It was a spur of the moment thing." Maia stated in a whisper before Izraella's jaw dropped and groaned, letting go of the brunette girl's hands.

"Oh my god, Maia!" Izraella exclaimed in a whisper, her eyes wide and she leaned forward.

"Why the hell didn't you say anything?" Izraella asked softly, straightening her back and looking Maia in the eyes.

"Because it's goddamn embarrassing, I have a small bump on my forehead." Maia muttered in slight annoyance before rubbing her forehead where it had been hit.

"Not that part, the...you know." Izraella tried to nudge at the subject to not chase Maia away, the dark haired girl knew her best friend didn't like it when she pried at her love life but Maia never had anyone that she has actually liked, this was practically a breakthrough.

"Look, I-." Maia was quickly cut off by Lori's voice sounding stern and upset.

Carl had stolen a gun from Dale's RV and he showed the other kids who were getting lectured by Anthony, Glenn and Giselle in another corner.

"Keep talking." Izraella spoke in a soft whisper and Maia shook her head.

"No, come on." Maia took Izraella's hand and dragged her towards Giselle who had been lecturing the others kids.

"What the hell?" Maia asked, confused and concerned at the same time.

"These four were lying about Carl not having a gun, and Jose nearly shot his sister." Giselle hit Jose upside his head.

"I'm sorry, mom." Jose spoke softly and lowered his head in sadness.

"What?" Maia and Izraella questioned in unison.

"You guys what?" Maia scoffed and turned to Luna, tilting her head at her younger sister, searching for answers in her bright blue eyes.

Luna looked at the ground and Anthony shook his head in disappointment.

"You guys know better than this, Carl had just gotten back on his feet and you lie to his mother, his father, everyone? Just so you could hold a gun?" Giselle was extremely unhappy, it was extremely evident in her tone and her eyes.

"Mom, we're sorry..." Rosalyn spoke up softly, the other kids were extremely quiet.

To Anthony's right was Glenn who gazed down at his younger sister with disappointment, he sighed softly and Lara looked up at him with tears in her dark brown eyes — moving a hair out of her face by tucking it behind her ear.

"Dios mio." Giselle rubbed the bridge of her nose with a huff in annoyance before walking away from the kids.

The four young adults all looked at the four kids in front of them. Maia took the liberty of stepping forward and crouching down in front of them.

"Okay, I'm going to lay this straight. I'm not going to lecture because your mom," Maia looked towards Jose and Rosalyn before looking at them all at once again.

"Already got that part down. What the hell were you guys thinking?" Maia asked in disbelief, putting her hand on Rosalyn's knee as an instinct, Rosalyn hesitantly grabbing hold of Maia's fingers.

"You guys lied for Carl? look I get that you want to be there and stand beside your friend and have each other's backs but he just got back on his feet, he can't be having a gun on his side after just being shot. You guys are good kids, we don't need you guys getting hurt." Maia spoke in a soft tone, trying her hardest to be gentle, she always tried to be gentle with losing her temper.

She had IED, and has had it since she was ten years old. She used to have pills that she had to take for them, but after so many years of her irritable existence she has learnt ways on how to keep herself calm. However Anxiety and IED weren't such a great mix, she'd never admit it but she was struggling. It was an internal struggle every single day.

"Just don't lie. Lie to any of us again, we won't take it lightly, got it?" Maia spoke more sternly this time looking all of the kids in the eye. The other three seemed amazed at how she handled the four kids, maybe it was because she took care of Luna most of her life.

The kids stayed silent and Maia sighed.

"Got it?" Maia spoke again and the kids all spoke in soft sad tones all repeating the two words "Got it." in unison.

"Go." Mai sighed and stood up taking her hand off of Rosalyn's knee before the kids took off walking however Luna stayed behind.

"Mai?" Luna gazed up at Maia with big eyes.

"Yeah?"

"I wanna learn how to protect myself, I don't want to feel like a baby. I wanna learn how to shoot." Luna spoke in a soft but desperate tone before both Maia and Anthony both inevitably sighed.

"Lu, you're not a baby, okay? You're just so young, we don't want you getting hurt, we don't want you to hurt yourself." Maia kneeled down to Luna's height and put her hands on Luna's cheeks.

"So then I can learn how to shoot, I will be able to protect myself and even you guys." Luna looked at Maia's eyes with pure desperation. Maia sighed looking down at the ground and back at Luna.

"Please, the other kids feel the same, we're scared. I'm scared." Luna was so pure, and innocent, she sounded so scared and desperate.

"Let Anthony and I think about it." Maia brushed her thumb on Luna's cheek and the young brunette girl leaned into her older sister's touch.

"Go play." Maia sighed and Luna nodded before the older Koa woman let go of her sister and let her walk off.

Silence filled the atmosphere and Izraella decided to pipe up.

"And you said you aren't good with kids." Izraella spoke with a slight scoff before Maia rolled her eyes standing up from her kneeled position.

"I am not, I just get to the point." Maia replied and sighed before turning to Anthony.

"There's no way we're letting her touch a gun." Maia put her hand on her hip and Anthony rubbed his hand on his face.

"Let's just teach her basics..." Anthony spoke softly and Maia's eyes widened.

"Are you stupid? She's an 8 year old who is so innocent and pure, we can't have her touch a gun." Maia sighed in disbelief.

"She's scared, let's just give her security. She's our little sister, Mai, we need to make her feel safe, she said it herself, she's scared." Anthony explained herself and Maia sighed softly sniffling slightly, Glenn and Izraella quickly took this as their sign to leave and let the siblings have their own conversation.

"You're seriously gonna make me look out to be the bad guy here? Carl just got shot. I've been trying to make her feel safe our whole lives, Ant. Can't you see that, I do so much for her and for you. I don't want to be made out as the bad guy for once, I'm constantly the "not fun sibling", making a decision like this isn't just what she wants. We can't always give her what she wants, we can't afford to make her expect us to say yes to everything." Maia rambled getting closer to Anthony so she didn't have to raise her voice, it was evident she was annoyed and overwhelmed.

"I'm not trying to make you the bad guy, Mai, just think about it, she just wants to help and we wouldn't have to worry so much." Anthony spoke calmly knowing that Maia was getting worked up.

"How are you so calm? I would worry more if she held a gun in her hand, god knows what the hell she would do with that thing." Maia scoffed, she had her hands flailing around dramatically and her brother held her by her wrists so she wouldn't continue.

"Because you're getting worked up, take a breath and think about it." Anthony spoke softly.

"Now calm the hell down." He held her by her wrists and looked her in the eyes.

"Chill, I'm gonna stay back when you guys go for gun training, alright?" Anthony let go of Maia's wrist as she took a deep breath in.

"Alright." She sighed out and rubbed her eyes in distress.

Maia sighed heavily before walking to get her gun and bow and arrow from the tent.

"I'll see you guys later." Maia sighed and waved goodbye to her siblings before walking off into the direction of Shane and the others.

Izraella and Glenn standing next to one of the cars seeing Maia come with her weapons.

"Hey, how'd it go?" Izraella asked Maia as the Koa woman loaded her gear into the back of one of the cars.

"Just great." Maia replied in an unimpressed tone and huffed, feeling Glenn's eyes on her almost the entire time.

Anthony came out from behind the tents causing Shane to call out to him.

"You coming?" Shane called out to Anthony and he shook his head in return.

"Oh uh, no. I gotta help Dale clean the spark plugs on the RV. He said he's gonna teach me mechanics so I should probably go look for him." Anthony replied, squinting his eyes slightly from the sun shining in his eyes.

"You found me. He's a good learner." Dale raised his voice and the others including Maia looked in his direction.

Maia sent her brother a wave before getting in the back of the truck with Izraella and Glenn by her side so they could leave for gun training.

As the car engine started, they had driven off to their designated location for gun training.

As Maia and the others all drove off in their cars Dale turned to Anthony.

"Spark plugs, huh? Want to tell me what's going on?" Dale questioned Anthony, making the brunette man look down at his feet.

Anthony looked back up from his feet and then looked at Sale stepping closer.

"You're old, You're...You know things." Anthony gazed around nervously.

"What if somebody told you something that somebody else should know..." Anthony trailed off trying to not spill the secret before Dale inevitably stopped him.

"Anthony, stop being dramatic. Spit it out." Dale was getting fed up and just wanted to hear what he had to say.

Anthony inhaled sharply and looked around once more before opening his mouth to speak — nothing came out.

"Anthony." Dale spoke sternly.

"There's...There's walkers in the barn."
