Searching for a reason to keep on surviving in a world run by the dead, Skye comes across the group led by Rick Grimes. Though desperately trying to keep from getting too close to anyone, her walls slowly begin to crumble as she develops relationshi...
A SEA OF ROTTING CORPSES was there to greet them as they climbed from their vehicles. They all looked around cautiously at the military vehicles crowding the landscape leading up to the giant glass building of the CDC. Soldiers and civilians were spread on the pavement, making it appear as if a war had taken place.
Everyone covered their faces the best they could from the horrid smell of rotting flesh and the flies that feasted on it. Carefully, they stepped over and around the bodies, afraid one might not be completely dead. All it would take is a second for one to reach up and bite an ankle and it would be all over. Finally reaching the doors, they were disappointed to see that they were sealed off by shutters. Shane helped Rick try to lift them open but with no success. Shane beat on the door with his gun, managing only to create a racket.

"There's nobody here," T-Dog announced.
"Then why are these shutters down?" Rick said, voice full of hope.
Daryl turned around and hollered, "Walkers!"
Spinning on her heels, Skye saw a walker in military uniform stalking toward them, but within seconds he had an arrow in his head, falling to the ground with a thud. The children cried from the fear of being eaten alive and the men of the group began to argue amongst themselves. Daryl pointed a finger at Rick, blaming him for bringing them here while Shane proceeded to defend the decision.
"He made a call," Shane defended Rick, marching towards Daryl aggressively.
"It was the wrong damn call!" Daryl continued.
"Shut up!" Shane was up in his face, shoving him backwards and yet Daryl stood his ground. "You hear me! Shut up! Shut up!" Shane's face was bright red from yelling and turning to Rick he said, "Rick, this is a dead end!"
"Where are we going to go?" Carol cried.
"There has to be someone in there!" Skye yelled, taking Rick's side.
"Are you hearing' me? No blame," Shane ignored the others, trying to get Rick's attention.
"Carol's right. We can't be this close to the city after dark," Lori stated, scared out of her mind.
Skye tuned the others out and stared up at the camera. Standing her ground even as the others began to run back to the caravan and someone tugged at her arm in attempt to pull her along.
"Come on, girl! We've got to go!" It was Shane.
Her eyes widened as the camera began to move.
"It moved," she said under her breath. "Rick, it moved!"
"The camera!" Rick held his hand up to the others. "It moved!"
