Thread: Never Safe (randomname98766789 and Galaxie)

In the moments between the raid on the car and the explosion, Tara was still remaining curled up in the corner, unable to function. Her mind was in a totally different place. The thing that plagued Adrian was the loss of people she held dear and Tara could definitely relate. Maybe if she just would not have let the Governor into their familys apartment and not followed him anywhere else, everyone would still be here. She thought of the faces of her families and loved ones and realized how much it hurt to not be with them here on this Earth but the way things were headed, they might not be apart too much longer. Over the course of the past few years, Jack had definitely grown close with everyone in the group so when it was Glenns turn to meet the fate, he wanted to try and help but his body was already so beaten and battered that he could hardly function as it was. However, the stalling seemed to help because a sudden explosion rang out. It would be both good and bad for them because it would undoubtedly attract every walker to this location for miles around. Even if that was true, it might give them a chance to make some kind of crazy escape and that was what they had to hope for. When he heard Beths muffled screams and cries, it was almost like a new breath of life was breathed into his fight and he shot up, twisting so hard and ripping his wrists apart as it broke through the rope. Then, he pulled the cloth out of his mouth and quickly undid the knots from his ankles. To think that all those times of tying Beth up would come in handy. These knots were nothing compared to what he had done to Beth in the bedroom before, but now was not a time to think about that. While Rick and Jack were going about to unbind themselves, the two men with the job of slaughtering them were arguing back and forth. Finally, Rick had popped up and stabbed the first man in the neck with the sharp shiv he concealed earlier before attacking the second man and sending him to the same fate. The very first thing that Jack did was hop up to his feet and sprint over to Beth while Rick untied Glenn and Daryl. Upon arriving at Beth, Jack noticed something. Ive got you, baby. He spoke and gave her a quick peck on the forehead. He looked down and went to untie her but noticed it wasnt that easy. Oh Shit He muttered and shook his head. They used zip ties on Beth and they could only be cut off and the only sharp thing that they had was Ricks wooden shiv that was now dislodged in the dead mans neck. After the explosion rang out, Tara was quick to stand to her feet while listening to the panic and speculation of everyone in the car. Eugene had bent down to try and do something to get the door open because There might not be anyone left to do it. To that, Tara gave him a stern Shut up response because they did not need that kind of thinking right now. Hopefully their people out there had figured out something and was about to come to the rescue even as the sound of walkers were growing closer and closer, close enough where it could be deciphered that what they heard was indeed walkers and not humans. That was way too close for comfort, obviously. Carl and Maggie assured everyone that their people were okay and that they needed to be ready to fight with them when they returned. Back in the compound, everyone was grabbing some kind of weapon and all Jack could find was a baseball bat. Listen to me Beth, they used zip ties on you. I dont have anything to cut them off you. Please do me a favor and just trust me Beth. Im going to get you out of here. I love you. He assured her and kissed the blonde over her gag. From that point on, he had to stand up and hoist Beth over his shoulders as he walked along with the other four men into a nearby room that seemed to have been where the food was taken and where they would have went next. Rick made it clear that if they crossed anyone from Terminus that no mercy should be given. The gunfire and screaming around them continued and it was now obvious that the walkers were flooded into the yard and up near the containers. They all ran out and Jack made sure to keep Beth secure in his arms. The first container had a deranged man run out to only be taken down by a walker and all six of these people were forced to slide down a small alley to let the horde pass. No need to draw attention to themselves. The people from Terminus were now walking down an adjacent alley with assault rifles, gunning down walkers. Rick waited for the last one to pass so he could attack him, grab the gun, and shoot the others. Meanwhile Eugene was still hard at work on the door and Tara was still in the corner. She turned to Adrian and whispered. How are you two holding up? She spoke in a soft, gentle, and a sweet voice that did show true concern for this woman she just met. A couple moments later, everyone was pressuring Eugene about some kind of cure and he explained where he worked and how this cure would come about, fighting fire with fire. After that brief conversation, everyone went back to business with trying to construct a weapon. Tara figured Adrian might have some questions about what she heard so he decided to tell her. That man right there is a scientist. Like you just heard, he worked in D.C. and he says that he has a cure. Weve been trying to get him to Washington D.C. where all his equipment is to do this. If we can get out here and get him there then maybe we can end this and have things go back to normal. I know that probably sounds crazy but I guess I still just have to have some hope, you know? She shrugged, turning to face the woman, their eyes locked on one another.
