"Walkers,” she asks. #zombie


He begins thinking of uses for the trailer.  He decides to go look for Greg and the others, when he hears somebody walking up behind him.  He had seen everyone that was with Greg walk across the parking lot, so he knew it was not any of them.  Deacon spins around drawing out his pistol, stopping with his finger on the trigger.  The muzzle of the gun is about six inches away from a young woman’s face.  He recognizes her as being his high school sweetheart and she immediately recognizes him.

"Deacon," she questions. 

"Cherise" Deacon answers her as he holsters his gun. 

He asks her what she is doing out there.  Her demeanor changes to appear that she is ashamed of why she is there.  She begins to tell him as she looks away, that she had intended on trading her body for food to feed her son.  Deacon looks down at the ground.  The realization that this is what the world has turned into, desperation to survive, crosses his mind before he asks if she has seen walkers around here. 

"Walkers,” she asks.

“That is what they are being called.  Well, the slow ones anyway, and then there are runners, they are the fast ones,” He explains. 

“There are some around here.  There is also some really bad people moving around,” Cherise explains. 

She continues, that she has something she wants to show him.  She begins to walk away, and he follows.  Greg sees them.  Running, he catches up to them.

"Hi Cherise."  Greg says recognizing the woman.
