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

Logan and Rick followed Daryl as he went to show them what they needed to see, they had no idea what to expect as the others tagged along behind them, Logan didn't expect what he saw though, it was Carol.

Logan: Holy shit.

They all looked to him as he and Rick continued to look at Carol, they all thought she was dead but here she is, she was out there on her own for days and now she's back, Rick smiled to her while she struggled to get to her feet, the two shared a hug as everyone was glad, Beth stood beside Logan as Hershel was next for a hug.

Daryl: Poor thing fought her way into a cell. Must have passed out. Dehydrated.

The mood then changed when Beth stepped forward for Carol to meet the baby, Carol was so happy to see Lil' Asskicker but then turned to Rick, no words were said but she could tell by the look on his face, Lori didn't make it, they both started to get upset as Carol held Ricks face in her hands.

Carol: I'm sorry.

Rick nodded her his thanks as she spoke bellow a whisper, Logan saw Carl out the corner of his eye and noticed him getting a little upset, he's not sure how he's dealt with losing his mom but Logan put his hand on the base of his neck letting him know he's there, Carl trying to impress Beth might be getting on his nerves a little but he's not a completely heartless monster, at least not yet anyway.

Carol then stepped out the cell and took Lil 'Asskicker from Beth's arms, Logan knew how it felt to lose your mother, it makes it worse in a world like this, especially when it's not even to the thing that ended the world in the first place, it just makes it all that much more painful, makes you question what all the trying is for, Rick called for them to wait the women out a little so Logan took the time to say his concerns.

Logan: We just taking in strays now, huh?

Everyone looked to Logan as he looked to Rick, Beth and Carol now sitting on the steps, baby in the older women's arms, Carl and Hershel standing to Carol's right while Daryl and Logan are to Beth's left, Rick a head of them and just to Logan's left as Logan didn't look away from Rick.

Rick: Who said we were taking her in?

Rick asked tilting his head at Logan as Logan huffed with a grin, Daryl stood up from his leaning position while Logan unfolded his arms and walking towards Rick.

Logan: You did. "We can't let you leave", that's what you said, right? We can't trust her, she's a stranger.

Rick: And so were you. I took a chance to trust you after you helped my son, I gave you a chance...

Everyone looked between them as the tension always seemed to get a little high between them, Logan does trust Rick but when Rick doesn't tell them the plan till it's already done, it's kind of difficult for him to do that.

Logan: Let's get one thing straight...

Logan cut Rick off as there's barely any space between the two, Beth looked a little worried for what's about to happen, she hates when he gets high tempered, bad things tend to happen to him when he does.

Logan: ... I didn't join you're little group. I'm here for them...

Logan nodded back to Beth and Hershel but mainly towards Beth, everyone then looked from them to Beth but quickly looked back to Logan when he wasn't done.

Logan: ... I will protect them, whatever way I have to. You asked me for my help and I'm helping but I won't help you put a crazy bitch with a sword in the backyard.

Rick and Logan never broke eye lock, it's not really a hostile fight, it's more of a man discussion, yes, there's fire in the eyes and meaning behind the words but Logan nor Rick would start a fight, Logan just wants to keep them safe, they all know that but Rick also wants to help others, Logan couldn't care less.

Rick: I need you to calm down. Don't let your feelings...

Rick was about to tell him not to let his feelings for Beth change what's important for them to do, which is keep their group safe and help as many people as they can, not necessarily take them in but at least send them out there with a fighting chance, Logan didn't let him say that though.

Logan: I am not Shane. My job is to keep the ones I care about safe, I screwed that up once. I won't let it happen again.

Beth knew what he was talking about, he was talking about his Mother and Sister, Logan still hasn't told the others about them but he told her, Beth appreciated that he wants to keep her safe but they are safe, Rick's not letting the women into their cellblock, Logan's just over worrying about it, so she stood up and walked over to them, taking his right hand in hers, it was the first time they looked away from each other and to her as she gave Logan a soft smile, which literally seemed to calm him down in a second.

Logan: Look, I'm just saying keeping her nearby is a bad idea.

Carl, Carol and Daryl were a little surprised by his complete 180 but Rick and Hershel seemed to understand, Hershel more so, he understands what it's like to think of yourself to be the bad guy then have someone by your side to help you think otherwise, Beth is Logan's "cool down", God help anyone who tries to take that from him.

Rick: I agree but I need you to trust me. Okay...?

Rick asked once again making sure Logan looks him in his eyes, Logan sighed and tried to think of how he can trust him when he hasn't even told them the plan, he just said she can't leave now he's agreeing that she's too dangerous to keep with them, Logan just wants to know what;s going on, so he nodded to Rick and Rick smiled patting his right shoulder.

Rick: ... Good, now. Let's go talk to her.

Logan agreed and followed Rick, Daryl and Hershel out to them, Logan probably will refuse to waste their medical supplies on her so Hershel came to do it, if she wanted, Beth though sat back with Carol as Carol gave her a knowing smile.

Beth: What?

She asked with a nervous giggle while Carl stood nearby, Beckett finally decided to grace them with his presents, walking out their cell letting out a yawn, he's been sleeping a lot lately and doesn't seem to be eating all that much, Beth's not sure what's wrong with him but her father just said, "He's under the weather", apparently dog's can get a cold as well.

Carol: It's just cute. You two, he's a good kid.

Beth blushed a little while she said that, Logan is a good guy, he just doesn't trust people, Carol couldn't imagine what Logan would have done to her husband if they ever met, Shane beat the shit out of him, Logan might have just killed him.

Back with the guys, Logan climbed onto a table sitting on it with his feet on the chair, Daryl held his crossbow out just encase she tries something while Rick walked towards her with Hershel waiting nearby, for the whole medical thing.

Rick: We can tend to that wound for you, give you a little food and water, and then send you on your way.

Logan looked to Rick, why wouldn't he just say that the plan was to send her away, maybe that little outburst back there wouldn't have happened, Rick never looked away from this women while Logan watched, Rick's hand resting nicely on the magnum by his side.

Rick: But you're gonna have to tell us how you found us, and why you were carrying formula.

Much to Logan's and maybe the others surprise, she actually answered near right away, she didn't say her name and just sat there with a cloth on her left thigh but she did tell them what Rick and the others wanted to know.

Michonne: The supplies were dropped by a young Asian guy with a pretty girl.

Hershel stood up from his sitting position and looked at the women, Logan even adjusted in his sitting position while glancing at Daryl, Daryl shifted as well, shrugging his crossbow and turned to Logan before they both looked back to the women already expecting to hear the worst.

Rick: What happened?

Rick was clearly expecting to hear the same because he looked a little worried, she didn't answer them though, she didn't tell them what happened to the people that she got the supplies from, so Logan was about to ask, just not as nicely, that's Beth's sister, if something happens to her, that will hurt Beth, which is of course a no go, Hershel though stopped Logan from asking in his way, then decided to ask in a more Hershel way.

Hershel: Were they attacked?

Hershel rested his right hand on Logan's left shoulder the wound not affecting him anymore, it will always be there but that's about it, or at least he hopes anyway, no sign of him turning into a Walker so maybe, just maybe, he's going to be fine, he now has to make sure that Glenn and Maggie are going to be the same.

Michonne: They were taken.

That part unsettled them all, especially Hershel, which meant it was now Logan's turn to comfort the old medical man, so with his own little pat on his shoulder, Hershel took a deep breath hoping for the best outcome while Rick picked up the questions again.

Rick: Taken? By who?

Logan, Hershel and Daryl all stood behind Rick as he asked her, she didn't give a straight answer though, something that did tick Logan odd a little, he's been feeling slightly more aggressive lately, he's not sure why but he actually quite likes it.

Michonne: By the same son of a bitch who shot me.

Rick was about to encourage her to answer him as Logan slowly walked to Rick's right, no particular reason but he did, maybe this was getting to boring for him, he could have got it out of her before, all he needed is a small room and 5 minutes, the Marines taught him more then how to shoot a gun.

Rick: Hey, these are our people. You tell us what happened now!

Rick gripped her wound causing her to yell in pain and jump to her feet, Rick stepped back as Logan drew his gun at her and Daryl pointed his crossbow, it's really not looking good for her but she didn't seem to care about the weapons aimed at her head right now, all she did do was point at Rick while giving him a death glare.

Michonne: Don't you ever touch me again! 

Rick wasn't scared though and walked closure to her, Logan and Daryl kept their weapons at her, Logan won't lie, he's kind of tempted to just shoot her and go look for them, sure it would take him a while but he know's where they were taken and how to track, that car didn't have too much fuel in, it would have only gone so far.

Daryl: You'd better start talking. You're gonna have a much bigger problem than a gunshot wound.

She looked between the Redneck and the Marine both looking like they have no problem in killing her to get what they want, one more then the other, she didn't care though, she thinks that not telling will keep her alive but she's wrong. 

Michonne: Find'em yourself.

Logan then stepped forward and was about to shoot her, only he stopped when Rick put his right hand on his chest and his left hand just above Daryl's crossbow, Logan looked to Rick confused but he did stop walking.

Rick: Hey, shh, shh, shh. Put them down.

Daryl lowered his weapon much quicker then Logan did, Logan kept his handgun pointed to the women while looking to Rick, Rick nodded to him as Logan sighed and lowered his gun, he didn't holster it, he is now just waiting for his chance to shoot her, they're wasting their time here.

Rick: You came here for a reason

It was quite for a while, no one said anything, no noise whatsoever, just her looking around seeming to way up her options here, she's not going to be getting any charity from Logan that's for sure, he's not a bad guy, he's just became very protective over Beth and her father, Logan's lost everyone he's ever loved in his life, he's not going to lose these two as well because some girl came to the gate with a few groceries.

Michonne: There's a town. Woodbury. About 75 survivors. I think they were taken there.

Logan's interest has peaked because he did see a couple of guys on a run talking about a place called Woodbury, he wasn't going to screw with them though since they had pretty high end military weapons, Logan's not sure how they got them but they did and he wasn't looking to get killed in this world by a graze or something.

Rick: A whole town?

Logan looked between them as his right hand still held the gun but his left hand rubbed at his jaw, ignore the small amount of stubble growing, believe it or not, he can't find a razer to kill a Walker, you'd think people would have been prioritizing food and water over facial products but apparently not.

Michonne: It's run by this guy who calls himself the Governor. Pretty boy, charming, Jim Jones type.

Logan put his gun into it's holster on his hip, he didn't need it in his hand right now, Daryl's got his crossbow ready for anything and Rick's got his hand on his weapon, this girl hasn't got much chance if she did try something, Logan has a feeling she's smart enough to not to.

Daryl: He got muscle?

Michonne: Paramilitary wannabes. A couple former Marines, I think. They have armed sentries on every wall.

Logan was surprised to hear her say about the Marines, he thought he was the only survivor, there's no way anyone from his squad could have survived, when he ditched the place was near over run, Walkers breaking through the front gate, it must be Marines from somewhere else, maybe he wasn't the only one that ran though.

Rick: You know a way in?

Michonne: The place is secure from Walkers but we could slip our way through.

Again there was silence as Rick looked to her, clearly studying her to see if she's lying, he was a Sheriff before all this and should be able to tell if he's being played, Logan was never able to start his interrogation training, sure he had the basic stuff but he can't tell if she's full of BS or not.

Rick: How'd you know how to get here?

Michonne: They mentioned a prison, said which direction it was in, said that it was a straight shot.

Silence once again, between the two, Logan wasn't sure what to think now, before she was just a stranger with a few items they might have needed but now she can take them to where Glenn and Maggie have been taken, that's where this "Governor" fucked up, because Logan actually likes both Glenn and Maggie.

Rick: This is Hershel, the father of the girl who was taken. He'll take care of that.

Rick indicated to Hershel beside Logan as Logan looked to the older man, Hershel pretty much seemed to be pleading with her to tell them where it is without saying a word, Logan though didn't say much and walked out with Rick and Daryl after they turned to leave...
