Chapter 15: Clearing Out The Block!


(This one's going to be a bit shorter then usual! Enjoy!)

==========================

... Nothing... Nothing is behind the door except a closed cell door, Logan steps out the way allowing Rick to go first and he pushes the cell door open with a squeak, Logan and Daryl behind him as T-Dog and Glenn brought up the rear closing the door behind them and stepping into an open area filled with rubbish and dirty rags lying around.

Logan: They really need to fire their cleaner.

Logan quipped while holding his knife in his left hand pointed out as he rested his gun on that arm keeping his aim steady if needed as he kicked a piece of trash, Glenn and Daryl thought it was funny where as Rick indicated for them to spread out in the area just in case, Logan and Daryl take the right side while T-Dog and Glenn kept an eye out on the left.

Rick pointed up to the control tower where a small amount of blood can be seen on the glass, Rick carefully made his way up their and found a deceased guard clearly having blown his brains out, Rick took a set of keys off the dead guy and saw another two sets hanging up, Rick picked them all up and made it back to the group.

Rick opened up the door to Cell Block C and Daryl was the first in making sure they weren't caught by surprise, Logan followed with Rick behind all making sure their not going to get jumped, T-Dog and Glenn made sure there were no surprises in the cells as Rick walked over to the other side of the block and found the door to still be locked.

Daryl whistled for Logan to following him and Logan did both making their way up to the top deck, it seemed to be empty till their heard a small bang from on of the cells, Logan took point as Daryl stayed close behind him pretty much using Logan's shoulder as an aiming assistant.

They both got startled when two Walkers from different cells ran into the locked cell doors, both Daryl and Logan shared a chuckle at getting startled before they both used their knifes to kill the dead Walkers, Rick tossed them the set of keys and they got to unlocking the cell doors to one. Tidy up and two. Make sure there's isn't anymore surprises.

Logan: T! Heads up!

Logan warned throwing a Walkers corpse over the railing making it drop in front of T-Dog, Logan wiped his hands hopefully clean as T-Dog dragged the corpse away and Glenn walked in with the others.

Rick: What do you think? 

Rick asked walking up to them as Logan walked down the steps twisting his left arm in discomfort, something is aching him right now but he can't say anything about it till he can talk to Hershel alone.

Glenn: Home sweet home.

Glenn joked walking passed both Logan and Rick as he went to find a cell probably for himself and Maggie, Logan wasn't sure if he and Beth will be sharing a cell, they slept next to each other before but that was then and this is now.

Rick: For the time being.

Logan looked around and spotted the cell that will be his if it's not going to be with Beth while Carol asked the most silly question of the day.

Carol: It's secure?

No, it's only a prison with locked doors and windows allowing all kinds of Walkers to get in.

Rick: This cellblock is.

Hershel, Beth, Beckett, Carol and Lori stopped and looked around as Logan sat on the steps with Daryl just behind him and Rick on the floor answering all their questions.

Hershel: What about the rest of the prison?

Logan couldn't help but look to Beth and the wonder that was on her face, Logan thought it was adorable as she's never been in a prison before, so it's either a mixture of that or the fact they have a bed to sleep in for a while.

Rick: In the morning, we'll find the cafeteria and infirmary.

Logan felt Daryl walk passed him as Beth asked a question.

Beth: We sleep in the cells?

Logan thought it was just the fact she's never seen the inside of a prison before that she was looking around in wonder before because she sounded not so sure about that question.

Rick: I found keys on some guards. Daryl and Logan has a set, too.

Beth seemed to relax a little to that as she looked to Logan, Logan smiled and winked making her grin and blush a little hiding her face, Logan isn't sure why he never told her about how he got here but just seeing her happy now makes him want to tell her.

Daryl: I ain't sleeping in no cage. I'll take the perch.

Daryl stepped passed Logan and climbed up the steps onto the walk way, there was a small area between the wall and the steps in the middle of the room and that is where Daryl is setting up his camp.

Logan: You're really not helping the whole Hawkeye thing...

Logan then let out an "Ow" as Daryl hit the back of his head walking passed him, Logan rubbed the spot he hit and flipped off the redneck as he put his stuff down.

Everyone then spread out trying to find their cells, Logan stood and locked eyes with Beth as she walked passed him, Logan does want to tell her but he also wants to keep her safe, he can't really do both, if anyone else finds out that he's been bite it could end badly for him.

Logan watched as Beth was followed by Beckett and carl walked into the same cell, does Logan need to talk to Carl about this.

Beth: Pretty gross.

Beth said putting her bags down to the side while Carl stood to the side, Beckett jumped on the bottom bunk making himself comfy still following the orders to keep Beth safe.

Carl: Yeah, remember the storage units?

Carl asked as Beth sat down on the bottom bunk and remembered, that was during the winter and it was quite cold, so she cuddled up to Logan for warmth and had the best night sleep she had all year because of that.

Beth got lost those thoughts as she sat on the bed and actually got a feel for the mattress.

Beth: It's actually... It's actually comfortable. Check it out.

Beth said kicking her feet up, making Beckett move over but lay his head on her lap allowing her to pet the dog, she could see Logan leaning on the wall, he's not outside her cell and he looked around to see if anyone was looking, Beth watched as he's not paying attention to anyone just twisting his left arm in a circle while rubbing his shoulder.

Carl moved to the top bunk and started to feel around but Beth smiled when Hershel stepped to the cell room door.

Hershel: You find your cell yet?

The older man of medicine clearly startled him making Carl jump and turn to Hershel.

Carl: Yeah, I was just making sure Beth was safe.

Carl said stuttering as Carl looked up to the man and Beth smiled to his nervousness, Beckett didn't care and fell asleep exhausted for the passed few days.

Hershel: I think that might be Logan's job, huh?

Carl nodded while Beth looked down kind of sad, she likes Logan, like really likes him but he's keeping things from her and it isn't far, he knows pretty much everything about her but he's still a closed book.

Hershel chuckled as Carl pretty much ran away to find his own cell, he turned to his daughter and sat on a nearby seat.

Hershel: What's wrong?

Beth looked to her father as he placed his stuff down and wondered what is running through her mind, Beth sighed and looked to see that Logan isn't their anymore, she didn't see where he's gone but he's gone.

Beth: It's Logan...

Hershel let out a small sigh and nodded, he knows all about them dating a little while ago, in fact they all know but when Beth asked more and more questions about him he avoided them, Hershel, Rick, Daryl and Glenn know why but the others cannot find out.

Beth: ... He won't let me in...

Hershel understood that trust is a key ingredient in the recipe of a relationship but sometimes secrets are best kept as just that.

Hershel: Logan is a man of God. If he feels he needs to keep something from you to protect you, then that is what he'll do.

Beth smirked sadly at that, she knows Logan and knows that he's a Marine his secrets have secrets but that doesn't make it hurt her less that he doesn't trust her.

Hershel: He'll come around...

Hershel comforted her as she was happy to still have her father in her life, Logan however ruined the moment by appearing in the door way still clutching his shoulder.

Logan: Can I speak to you for a second?

Logan asked Hershel and Hershel nodded seeing him holding his shoulder might be bad, Logan and Hershel left the area and entered the cell furthest away from everyone, Logan took his shirt off allowing Hershel to see his shoulder, it was getting worse.

Hershel: You need antibiotics or this will get worse...

Logan sighed knowing it was something like that but why is it happening now, it's been nearly a year since he got bite.

Hershel did the normal test liking moving his shoulder around and checking the young man's pulse but it all seemed to be normal, just other then his discomfort and the change of colour to the wound.

Hershel: Let's keep this between us until we find some antibiotics...

Logan nodded putting his shirt back on as they didn't know Beth followed them and heard it all...
