Peter's Story/Issue 7

{the RV is driving along the road just after the explosion, the Cherokee is behind it, followed by T-Dog’s car, then Daryl’s, suddenly Daryl starts to shout out and honking his horn, Peter looks behind him to see that he is trying to get their attention, Dale then turns the RV round, but the others keep on driving onwards}

Dale: What’s the matter?

Daryl: Something’s wrong with Shane’s car, I can’t see it anywhere.

{the scene then cuts to Shane running out of his car with fifty odd walkers running after him, he then sees the RV, he then tries to run even faster, then Glenn opens the Door}

Glenn: get in, get in! *Shane gets in* drive!

{Dale then drives off}

Shane: *out of breath* thanks man

Glenn: you okay?

Shane: I’m fine, my God I thought nobody was gonna come, thanks Dale

Lori: don’t thank Dale, thank Daryl

Dale: he’s honking and shouting, we then realised that your car wasn’t there

Shane: there’s something you need to know Rick

Rick: what?

Shane: they don’t tire, they never even stop to take a breath, and they just keep on running

Rick: good to know, Hey Dale, we need to catch up with the rest of them.

{Soon they see the other vehicles, the Cherokee in the lead.}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: hey Dale, pull over here for a minute please

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Dale honks the RV’s horn, the others realise that he is stopping so they turn around}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: What’s wrong?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: We need to go into Atlanta

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: What!!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: Glenn, T-Dog, Daryl and I all meet up with people, and we need to go and get them, maybe stay there for a while

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: Rick, are you crazy?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: We need to go to them, and they have more guns, we can save them, get them out of there, their old.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: I ain’t happy about walking around Atlanta, just to get a couple of old people

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: I think we should do it,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: any objections?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: fine, but we go and get the people and leave, we don’t stay there

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: All right, let’s go, just follow the RV and we’ll have to walk for a bit.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{So they all get back into the cars, and they drive a few miles into the city, the RV stops and they continue on foot, until they get to an abandoned building}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: doesn’t look like anyone’s here Rick

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Glenn: That’s because they stay inside *they go over to the doors and open in* nobody’s here,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: I gotta bad feeling about this Rick, it ain’t too late to turn around and leave

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: we ain’t leaving until we get the guns and the people outta here.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Glenn: Where is everyone?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: maybe they’ve left

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">T-Dog: without their vehicles

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: over here *they all go towards the main hall*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: what’s that smell?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: We should split up, Rick, Daryl, T-Dog, Dale, Shane, you go outside look around, and the rest of us can stay here, and look around a bit. *they all agree, they part ways*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Glenn: So where are we going?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: bedrooms, look around there, and then head to the cafeteria,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Peter and his group head to the rooms, they walk around there}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: Keep the noise to a minimum

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Andrea: What do you thinks happened?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: I don’t know, I just hope that they’ve all gone, and not all dead

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: there’s a cafeteria over here *so they all go over to the cafeteria*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Amy: Oh my god, what’s that smell?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Lori: kids stay close *they hear a gunshot*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: what was that?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Andrea: get down *they all see the walkers coming past them, the walkers just pass by them*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: we need to leave, nice and quietly okay?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Jacqui: okay

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{they all leave, but some of the walkers see them, Peter gets his gun out and starts to shoot some of the walkers, Glenn also starts to shoot them, but the walkers that passed them are coming back}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: RUN! *he shout, and they all run away*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Andrea: Amy, stay close

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: where’s Sophia? *They all stop*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: I’ll go and get her

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Amy: Peter *she screams*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: I’ll be back

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Glenn: Come on, now *they keep on running, Peter goes in the other direction*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: *looking in the different rooms, shooting some walkers in the way* SOPHIA, SOPHIA

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Sophia: *crying* mommy,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: Sophia, *he sees her hiding in one of the rooms* come here Sophia, we need to leave now, okay, you hold onto my hand and we’ll ignore the walkers okay, and find mummy, okay.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Sophia: I-I’m scared, I want my mummy

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: I know darling, we’ll go and get mummy, but you need to hold my hand, let’s go *he smiles at her, and they leave, Peter starts to shoot the walkers, Sophia screams* S-Sophia, you need to be quiet, okay

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Sophia: O-Okay

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{They run through the hallways and eventually meet up with the others}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: Sophia * she runs towards her and they hug*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: Okay, we still need to get outta here *they head to the area that they came in to see the others shooting walkers, Peter and Glenn start to shoot them, soon all of the walkers are dead

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: Let’s get outta here before more walkers come *they head to the vehicles and drive off*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{They head off to an abandoned house; they all stop and get out}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: here looks safe enough

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: Yeah, but for how long?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: it’ll do for the night, *they all go inside and look around to make sure that it’s safe*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">T-Dog: I’ll stay guard up in the front bedroom for a while; someone that isn’t driving can take over from me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 36pt; text-indent: -36pt;">{They all agree and go into the main room}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Sophia: Is there any water?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: I’ve got a bottle in my bag

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carl: any food?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: I’ve got some, *he takes out five bags of crisps* I was hoping to have myself a midnight feast at the CDC

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Glenn then divides the crisps onto paper plates, Dale then comes into the room after having been in the Kitchen}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: I found a box of nuts and some dried fruit *he hands them to Glenn*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Amy: where do we go after this?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Lori: Rick?''' '''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: Fort Benning, any objections?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: Yeah, how will we get there?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: You being serious?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: Shane, we’re low on fuel

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Shane goes outside along with Dale, Rick, Peter and Daryl}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: We need to be more focused

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: meaning?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: back at camp when we had that fish fry, sittin’ around like we’re on a camping trip we didn’t even have anyone on watch

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: I bring back that issue on low on fuel

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: he’s right, we’re taking too many vehicles, T-Dog and Daryl we can siphon gas from your vehicles, you can take your bike, and the rest of us can go into the RV and the Cherokee.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: It’s Merle’s

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: what?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: the bike, its Merle’s

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: fine then Daryl you get Merle’s bike, when get out of here, head north, to Fort Benning, Peter you take Amy, Carol, Sophia and Andrea, Daryl taking the bike

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: sounds like a good idea

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: T-Dog’s on watch now, I’ll take over him in an hour’s time, then Shane and then Daryl.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: for now, let’s just get some sleep

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{They all go back into the room and get some sleep}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">'Next Day '

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{everyone is beside the vehicles, T-Dog and Daryl get two petrol bottles and go and siphon the gas from their vehicles, everyone else is around the Cherokee and the RV}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: Fort Benning is a long journey ahead, now Peter will be driving the Cherokee, Amy, Carol, Sophia and Andrea you’re in the Cherokee, Daryl’s driving the bike, the rest of us will be in the RV.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Daryl then comes up beside Peter driving the bike, Amy opens the door for Carol, Sophia and Andrea to go into the back, Amy then goes into the passenger seat of the car, Peter stays outside for a bit longer to see what else is being said, Rick and Lori kiss and then hug. Carl, Lori, Jacqui, T-Dog and Glenn all go into the RV}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: Come on, let’s head up *he says to Shane*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Shane then taps the back of the RV where he was standing, Dale and Shane get into the RV, Rick nods at Peter. He then goes into the RV as Peter goes into the Cherokee. Peter get the engine started up, he puts the car in gear and drives off behind the RV, with the bike in the lead.}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{A couple of miles from when the left off}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">''In the Cherokee ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Amy: do you remember the places that we saw before all of this happened?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Andrea: yeah, and that creep of a man asking us if he wanted to come to his house *the girls laughed*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Sophia: where did you go?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Andrea: well first we visited the Grand Canyon

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Amy: that was my favourite place

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: I’ve always wanted to go to there

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: how many times have you been to Atlanta?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: just four times

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Sophia: mom, can we go to that place?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: tell you what Sophia...after this is all died down me and you’ll go there, if that’s okay with your mum?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: yeah, that’s fine if gets her outta the house for a while

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Amy: could I go as well?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: if Sophia allows you to go

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Sophia: I don’t think that would be a good idea

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Amy: why?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Peter looks inn his side mirror to see Andrea looking blankly outside the window}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: would you like to go?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Andrea: no, I wouldn’t want to ruin your fun

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">In the RV

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carl: What are you doin’?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: just cleanin’ the guns

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carl: looks tricky

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Lori: Carl, come over here please

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: why don’t you go see what your mom wants?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: Oh no *they all go up to the front of the RV to see the jammed highway, he stops the RV too see Daryl coming back* can you see away through?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: yeah, follow me, *he drives off, the RV following him*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Glenn: I’ve seen another way, we should just turn back

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">T-Dog: We can’t waste the fuel

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Suddenly the RV’s radiator hose breaks, causing them to stop; they get out of the RV and the others in the Cherokee as well}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: I said it, what did say

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: What’s the matter?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: well apart from the matter that we’re broken down in the matter of nowhere, but the hose is broken...again

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: Well we’ve broken down in a perfect spot *they all look at him* what, there’s plenty of food, water, we could scavenge some fuel form these cars for a start

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Lori: This is a graveyard...

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: *looks at Lori* okay stay close

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{They all go their separate ways}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Lori: Hey Carl, stay within mummy’s sight *Carl nods*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Dale and Rick stay beside the RV, Rick with the binoculars; he then gives them to Dale who goes up on watch. Meanwhile Daryl and T-Dog are getting Fuel from the cars; Glenn and Shane are finding spare parts for the RV and Andrea is inside the RV fixing up her gun.}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: *picking up a red top* Ed never let me buy anything like that

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: I’ll bring it back to the RV, you coming?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Amy: sure

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Back at the RV 

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: it’s all good

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: I think that’s a girls top Peter

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: very funny, it’s for Carol

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Amy: I’ll put it in the Cherokee for her

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Amy comes back to Peter, meanwhile Glenn is removing parts from a van while Shane sees a big truck, which has water in it}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: *opening the side of the van* hey Glenn, were we short on water? *the two laugh*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Glenn: hey, save me some

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Dale then looks at them through the binoculars. He then looks from where they came from}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: Rick *points to the walker*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: *gets his rifle out, goes to shoot it, but sees fifty odd more* Oh Christ *signals for Dale to get down* Under the RV now!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Peter and Amy then get underneath the RV while Rick runs over to Lori}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: Lori, get down *she sees the Walker and goes to Carol and hides under the car* Carl, Sophia get down now! *he then gets under the car*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Over the other side Shane notices the walkers, he then runs to Glenn and shoves him underneath the van that Glenn was working at, Daryl then gets Jacqui safely under the car, he then hides under a truck. Meanwhile the herd starts to near the RV with Peter and Amy under it, Dale is still lying on top of the RV, Andrea, having no awareness of the walkers notices them all passing by, she then dives to the floor the herd pass by, suddenly a hand reaches for the door of the RV and Andrea grabs her gun and slides into the bathroom as a walker enters the RV. Meanwhile T-Dog is walking around trying to find a place to hide, when he ducks beside a car he gets a dash on his arm, making the blood spurt out, he then moves on again. With the walker looking around in the RV he comes to the bathroom, he then walks away but Andrea drops her cleaning equipment, drawing the walker back to the RV}
