“It's not like I did it on purpose! If he hadn't been acting like a racist druggie then maybe he wouldn't have gotten cuffed on the damn roof in the first place,” T- Dog said as he looked in the direction of Daryl as he stormed off. Constance couldn't blame him for being upset but he knew himself that his brother was shitty, she sighed a little and rubbed her eyes wiping away the tears.
“You'll go back with him, won't you rick,” Lori said and Constance flung a glare in her direction.
“We just got him back and you're ready to send'em off again what the hell, Lori,” she said to him, “He can't go,”
“Con, you know I have to – this is my fault,” he said as he walked over to his sister, “I'll be back before you know it,”
If there was an award for not believing someone; she'd have the blue ribbon. Constance didn't want to lose him – not again. Not after finally having him back in her life, what the hell was she supposed to while she waited for him to come back? “You can't,” she whispered as she looked up at him.
“I know you don't want me to, but I'm going – you stay here and help keep the camp safe, I'll be back – I promise,” Rick said to her as he sighed a little.
“Why? What is so important about Merle Dixon?” Andrea asked making a face in confusion at the man dressed as a sheriff.
Constance rubbed a hand over her face then sighed a little as she licked her lips, he wasn't even listening to her it was like before all over again. She'd never accomplish anything now if he was there counteracting her every word. He used to do this a lot before he'd gotten shot, when she wanted to go hiking alone he'd tell her no, when she wanted to move out at eighteen he told her no – to wait. It was so annoying and she didn't know how long she could take him undermining her anymore.
Sure he was being a protective brother, but there had to be an end to it right? She looked at Shane silently pleading with him to be on her side.
“I left a bag in Atlanta over by the tank,” he said and looked at Glenn who nodded. “It has guns, cleaned out the cage at the police department before I left Kings County – got easily five hundred or so rounds,” he said to them then looked at Shane. “I have to do this.”
Constance knew the guns were needed but they could send someone else, he'd just gotten back. Barely had'em for an hour and he was ready to leave'em again.
“I don't want you in that damn city, you'd be safer here,” he said to her shaking his head a little. The last thing Daryl needed was to worry about Dakota and his brother – he didn't want to make a big deal about it so he really hoped she'd just drop it, he had been just about ready to kill that wannabe sheriff. Who did he think he was cuffin' his brother to the roof like that then leaving him like a animal.
“I'll be back by nightfall – just keep safe and be around them cause they have the guns,” he said to her seriously. He leaned in and kissed her lightly, “Don't argue with me about it, I'll be back,”
“Come on then! Ain't got all day!,” he said as he climbed into the back of the large truck.
“I know I don't have the right to ask you this,” Rick said looking at Glenn who just groaned. “But you know your way in and out of the city,”
