Found

Zane while trying to hurry and sneak away tripped on a branch, making enough noise for the walkers to notice. They turn in his direction and groan making their way towards him He quickly gets up seeing this and runs away from them, navigating through the trees while also trying not to get lost.

While he was running away his mind starts racing "What, if the group leaves. Thinking I'm dead. I need to hurry." He thinks to himself while the walkers keep up on their unrelenting hunt for him, He starts getting way ahead of the walkers when he feels something grab his leg pulling him to the floor.

The walker that grabbed Zane begins pulling his leg towards it's mouth, While Zane with all his strength tries to resist the walker but it isn't enough. As the walker was about to take a chomp out of Zane's leg, An arrow flew inside the back of it's head and Rick and Daryl came out of the other side of the wooded area.

Rick : "Are you ok, Son?" he says as he hugs his son. Zane simply nods his head to show his father he's ok, He looked over at Daryl saying "Thank you." While Daryl nods his head.

Daryl : "Where's Sophia." Zane's mind races as he thinks about what to say "What should I tell them should I say we got separated or just tell them I left her to die?" After a lot of thought he decides to tell them they had gotten separated.

Zane : "I don't know. We left after a while because we thought you, weren't coming back dad. While headed back to the highway we were separated by a bunch of walkers, then as I was getting away this walker grabbed me."

Daryl and Rick both nod showing they trust what he said and they leave that area, searching for Sophia a little longer with no luck. They head back to he highway Once they get there Zane saw Carol waiting for them and he didn't know if he could face her.

Carol : "You didn't find her."

Rick : "The trail went cold. We'll pick it up again at first light."

Carol : "I see that you found your son. But your gonna leave my daughter out there on her own. To spend the night in the woods."

Daryl : "Out in the dark's no good. We'd just be tripping over ourselves. More people get lost."

Carol : "But she's twelve. She cant be out there on her own. You didn't find anything?" She says on the verge of tears and her voice was very shaky. Zane seeing this felt horrible should he just tell the the truth that Sophia was dead.
