Nathaniel gasped for air holding his neck a little. He stands up and runs over to Carl. "Run now!" He yelled at the boy.

Russ's expression turns into a glare even though she didn't look at him. "Are you saying you think I'm weak?" She said bitterly feeling angry piling up. He had no idea what she had gone through.

Trish stares at her. She smiled widely. "Of course you can! Why would I be walking with you in the direction of it if you couldn't come?" She asked with a laugh to her voice.

(Rick?)

Rick stops. "but what if she hates me?"

Miles smiles at her. "No im just saying that you dont have to act as tough as a man. Your trying to be something your not, and that is hurting you more."

Abigail wipes her eyes. "Thank you, your too kind."

Carl runs into the camp crying.

Kristine hears Carl crying. She kept her eyes closed. "What's happened to him?" She asked Jules.

Jules jumped up and grabbed Carl by the shoulders looking him in the eye. "What's wrong?" She asked him as she saw Nathaniel run up behind him.

Nathaniel was panting and he bent over to catch his breath. Once he did he picked Carl up in a hug. "Ya better not scare me like that again!" He said.

Russ bit her tongue and started walking away. She didn't believe him in the least. If she were acting like who she was... She'd never stop crying and her heart would be tore out from her.

Trish hugs the girl sideways again. "No I'm not. If this is too kind to you you haven't met decent people before."

Jesse leans against the back of the truck closing his eyes, still humming.

He was walking along holding her hand to make sure she wouldn't get lost. He hears the man talking aloud to no one. He signals for the red haired woman to stay hidden as he walked up to the man. "Who'd hate you?" He asked keeping his distance.

She watch staying pressed to the wall in the alley.

Rick jumps. He turns to see a boy. "Who are you?"

Miles sighs. "Its not easy..." he says loud enough h=for her to hear. "I want to cry sometimes..." he lets a tear roll down his cheek. "I lost someone too."

Carl sobs. "But i wanted to help you!"

Abigail shakes her head. "no one was ever nice to me."

He smiles. "Not a walker. Maybe a friend." He said and shrugged at the woman. "Name's Michel, friend's call me Mike." He smiled as the redhead came out. "And this is Sarah." He said smiling at her as she came closer.

Sarah looked at the man a little worried. He looked distress.

Russ stopped and licked her lips. "Were they tore from you as you slept?" She hugged herself. "Did they die when you should have?" She felt the tears coming back as she blinked to keep them at bay.

Nathaniel sways side to side hugging the boy. "I know. Thank ya." He said as he put the boy down and rubbed his head smiling.

Jules watched the two and saw hand shaped bruises on their necks. "What happened?" She asked.

Trish raised an eyebrow. "But you're so likable!" She said as she started to see the camp.

Rick looks the boy over. "Nice to meet you both..."

Carl hugged Nathanial crying into his shirt.

Miles does not look up. "Her name was Mary. She was the prettiest girl I ever did see, even got her to dance with me at prom." He lets the tears roll down his cheeks. "She was about to be a mother, to my child. We had the room together and everything, but the baby was still born. Mary crying for month, she refused to eat, so she simply withered away. I could have done something I knew I could help her, but I did not try. I was too sick to do anything after that so I joined the military in hope that I would die, I could kill myslef and make it look good." He wipes his eyes. "Onece I was over there, shot and dying, I found that that was not what I wanted, so I returned home, alive."

Abigail hugs the woman. "That's the kindest thing anyone said to me.."

Mike nods. "Back to the first question, who'd hate you and why do you look like you're split in two?" He asked.

Sarah gets closer to Mike and holds his hand again. She tried using it to hide her ring. She didn't like the looked of the man.

Nathaniel patted his back. "Hey, it's 'kay. I'm glad I got there when I did." He said then looked at Jules. "Later I promise."

Kristine listens to them talk for a bit and relaxed a little going to sleep.

Russ shook her head. "I..I..." She said trailing off then looked back at him. "Her name was Laura, she died three nights ago when she watch the man she loved died because she couldn't do a dame thing." She said thinking that talking as though the person she was speaking about wasn't her would help. It didn't. But she continued on the lines. "She had died once before. She was a social worker working to get kids out of the war and got taken prisoner with the kids when the other guys attached." She paused and rubbed her arms. She was determined not to cry. "They tried messing with the little girls but she didn't let them. First they gave her scars on her face then They all took turns with her until she got pregnant... It was all she ever wanted, didn't even care that it wasn't how she wanted it to happen." She turned away as she gave up on the tears. "They.. They took the baby from her before it was even born." She sat on the ground crying her feet under her body. "And..And,," She said trying to finish as she cried harder. She put her face in her hands as she let the tears run.

Trish smiled a little and hugged her back. "Really?! Well you're pretty too" She said. It made her feel good to make someone so happy.

Miles wipes his face. "All I ever wanted was a child, one that I could hold and hear cry. I wanted to wake up and it be in bed with its beautiful mother, me by its side." He looked at her. "Seems like we share the same desires."

Rick was not too sure if he should tell them. "Nothing don't worry about it."

Carl looks up at the boy. "Don't let him take me."

Abigail smiles. "Thank you your not bad looking yourself."

Russ shakes as she cries. She didn't understand anything he had said. She feels the bumps of her scars as she tried wiping of her eyes a little.

Mike nods. "Okay. Then three more questions. Where are you going? Is it safe? And can we come with you?"

Sarah squeezes his hand.

Nathaniel squeezed him tightly. "I won't bud. I won't.."

Trish laughs a little. "I've looked better."

Rick thinks for a moment. "Forward, no, sure."

Miles hugs her. "Shh, you'll get the baby you want some day, the only question is with whom would you want it, and where would you find them. I can't help you answer the questions, but I will say this..."he turns her head toward him. He looks into her eyes. "I'm always there for you. Don't beat yourself up for something you should have changed, think of the future, not the past." He smiles. "No matter how many scars you may bare there is always someone that likes you."

Carl hugs him crying softly.

Abigail smiles. "Is there nice people in your camp?"
