-unexpected guest-

"It has to be their people", Theo whispered, trying to get a look outside. 

"Dave? Tony?" the men yelled outside.

They stayed down and quiet. Theo, now having her gun back, meant they were all ready for a shootout.

Theo was crapping herself, but she knew she had to make it out of this bar alive with her father, Glenn and Herschel. Making sure she got back to her mother and brother, as well as Daryl

The wait was antagonising, but they couldn't move. Only when it was clear.

"Why won't they leave?" Glenn asked, trying to stay quiet. 

"Would you?" Rick answered, not taking his eyes off the window.

Suddenly, a gunshot went off. By the sounds of it, it was walkers being taken down.

"You checked this one?" One of the men asked outside.

"No?" another said

"We are looking for Dave and Tony, and no one checks the bar?" Another yelled

They were about to open the door when Glenn slid in front of it, blocking them from getting inside.

"Someone pushed that shut," A voice said outside.

"Yo, if someone is in there, we want no trouble; we just want our friends. Have you seen them?" One of the men said outside.

Theo pulled back the hammer on her gun, getting ready for what could happen next.

They kept trying to get the group to talk, but no one answered.

They were beginning to give up and leave when Rick yelled

"They drew on us", He began, blowing their cover completely.

The others all looked at Rick, annoyed

"They alive?" They yelled back

"No!" Rick communicated

"Dad, shut the fuck up", Theo whispered, angry at her dad.

"They drew on us; they gave us no choice!" Rick continued. Theo grunted, hitting her head on the door.

Theo sighed, annoyed, knowing they could have gotten away with it undetected.

"Look, we have all done things we regret, wrong choices, this was the wrong place, wrong-" but two gunshots cut off Rick and the smashing of the glass above them. 

Glenn covered his head while Rick began to shoot back

"Go!" Rick yelled. Glenn and Herschel ran back while Rick and Theo shot outside

They sat back down, waiting for what happened next.

Rick and Theo reloaded quickly.

"How many?" Rick whispered, looking at his bullets.

"5", Theo answered, counting hers.

"Never thought I would be shooting my gun with my daughter shooting hers next to me", Rick tried to lighten the mood.

"Well, it's all father-daughter bonding time," she laughed before they had to be serious again.

"This won't end well; back off, and no one else gets hurt!" Rick yelled to the men outside.

It was again silent.

"Is there another way in?" Theo suddenly panicked, not hearing anything from outside

"Outback!" Hershel whispered

Glenn responded to check alone, running to the back of the bar.

A gunshot went off in the direction of where Glenn went.

"Glenn!" Theo yelled, panicking that her best friend could be in trouble.

"I'm alright", he yelled back

Theo let go of the breath she was holding.

"You shouldn't have said anything," Theo told her dad

"I know!" he answered, frustrated at himself.

"We will hold it here; you go and get Glenn, you both run to the car, hold it out back, we will run out, get out of here", Rick explained.

Herschel nodded.

"Cover, Glenn?" Herschel asked the young blonde.

"You missed gun training, which would be handy now," Rick smiled, surprisingly calm.

"I can shoot, just don't like to," Herschel answered, making Theo nod with an unsurprised face.

Theo suddenly caught herself in the mirror hanging on the wall; she was covered in more blood than she realised.

It made her worried. She feared becoming something unrecognisable.

Herschel went to Glenn, leaving Rick and Theo alone.

"You okay, kiddo?" he asked. He was not making eye contact; he was observing outside.

"Yeah, I'm okay" Theo smiled

They watched and waited nervously.

A few gunshots went off back, so they ran towards it.

"What happened?" Rick asked, looking out to see something.

"He fired," Herschel explained, pointing at the man in pain on the floor.

"He must have hit Glenn; he's behind that dumpster", Herschel explained

"Glenn!" Theo panicked, running out without thought; that was her best friend; if he was hit, she had to get to him.

"Theo!" Rick called out as he watched his daughter run towards Glenn.

"Glenn?" She asked, getting to him, hiding behind the dumpster, and holding him tightly.

"I'm okay," he said as she sat next to him

Theo looked around and saw the car.

Her dad followed before waving at Herschel to follow.

They were about to move when a bullet missed them by inches.

Luckily for Theo, Glenn pulled her back and out of the way before the bullet could touch her.

They looked to see someone on the roof across, watching them through their gun.

"We gotta go; roamers are everywhere!" the one inside the car yelled

The boy on top jumped down but began screaming when he had landed.

"I'm sorry", the man in the car yelled before leaving the boy there, screaming in pain, bringing in even more walkers.

"Theo, with me, Glenn, get Herschel," Rick ordered as they approached the boy.

His leg had been impaled by one of the spikes on a fence.

"We are not seriously helping him, are we?" Theo asked in shock; only a few moments ago, he was trying to kill them.

Suddenly, walkers surrounded them, having fewer options to get out.

"We have to go, sorry son," Herschel said to the young boy, however not looking that sorry.

"No, please help me!" He cried, begging for them to get him out.

"He was just shooting at us!" Glenn reminded Rick, making Rick look around frustratedly.

"He is just a kid!" Rick argued, looking between everyone.

"That tried to kill us!" Theo yelled back

"Come on", Herschel tried to get Rick away. "We cannot get him off this without damaging the muscles; he won't be able to run and might bleed out!" Herschel explained to Rick

The kid would stop screaming.

Theo grabbed the fence and shook it, knowing it would cause the boy pain.

"Shut up!" She yelled angrily. "Shut the fuck up before I stab you somewhere else" She threatened.

"Can't we just cut the leg off?" Glenn asked, looking at Herschel.

"We still have that saw in the car?" Rick asked

"No, no, no, please don't", the boy begged, reaching out to his leg.

Theo grabbed the boy's leg again, making him yell in pain

"You wanna get off this fence or not!" Theo snarled, making the boy shut his mouth.

"Will this cut through the leg?" Rick asked, holding his knife up.

Herschel explained what he would have to do as Rick and Theo pinned down the kid.

Glenn was keeping the walkers away

"They are everywhere!" Rick yelled, joining Glenn.

"There is no time!" Herschel yelled he wanted to leave the kid.

"We have to go!" Glenn responded, agreeing with Herschel's thoughts.

"I'm out of ammo!" Rick screamed.

"Fuck sake", Theo snapped, grabbing the boy's leg and, with all her force, pushing it up and off the fence, making the boy scream at the top of his lungs.

Glenn and Rick grabbed him as Theo used the last of her bullets to keep some of the walkers back.

They made it to the car.

They got in, and Rick put his foot down; they made it out alive.

"Thank you, I'm Randall" The boy began out of breath, covered in sweat.

"Shut it" Theo stopped him as she ripped the bottom off her shirt and used it to cover the boy's eyes.

"What are you doing? Hey, I'm cool!" he began, but Theo tightened the makeshift blindfold, shutting him up. 

"Don't make me rip my top again to stop you from talking", Theo began, but the boy went quiet.

"He probably passed out" Herschel suggested

"You had to do that?" Glenn asked Theo with a cringed look. 

"Well, Dad wasn't going to leave him; he had to come, so it was the only way out," Theo said, leaning back into the seat. "Honestly, he is lucky he stopped talking when he did. I wasn't going to rip my shirt a second time. I would have had to knock his lights out," Theo winked, causing everyone to laugh under their breaths.
