Shane looked down at his bloody hands under the water before shaking his head slightly. He didn't want to hurt anyone in his group but he had never expected Axle to be a child molester and unluckily for Axle he hated child molesters.
But that was all over now with Rick and Daryl having already put all the pieces of Axle in a bag before burning it to ash outside.
In his past life he had interrogated people for information on other groups and had learnt quite a few techniques to keep someone alive but on the brink of death.
It seems it would come in handy in this life as well.
Shane put on his clean punisher vest and a black trench coat over it before walking outside the bathroom and into the main cell area where a small group was getting ready to drop Carol off at the other group.
Walking toward the group he saw them all eating and laughing with Oscar and Big tiny looking a little pale after hearing what had happened last night.
At first they were thinking of leaving but once they heard about Axle being a kid lover they understood and wished they had gotten a piece of him as well.
"You okay Shane?" Amy, who was wearing black skinny jeans and a black crop top that showed off her tight body and smooth stomach, came over and handed him a bowl of chili while rubbing his shoulders.
She knew Shane had a darker side to him and she was okay with that as this was a dark world but she didn't want him to fall too far into it to where he couldn't come back from it.
Shane put his hand on Amy's which was resting on his shoulder and gave it a small squeeze.
"Of course. Something that small can't shake me." Shane said before quickly eating his chili and enjoying Amy's small massage while everyone else giggled and laughed making him chuckle.
A second ago he looked like your neighborhood psychopath and now he looked like a stay at home dad.
While eating he noticed Carl saunter over to him with a nervous look while wearing his dads sheriff hat and a silenced pistol tucked into the waistband of his jeans.
Carl stood in front of him a few seconds not saying anything, making him grow impatient.
"Spit it out boy." Shane said while putting his chili bowl down which Amy took away to clean.
"Uncle Shane, can I come with you to drop Carol off?" Carl said while fidgeting with his hat.
Shane thought for a second before nodding.
"I'm fine with it but you'll need to ask your parents."
Before Shane could say anything else Carl was already running off screaming behind him.
"Thanks Uncle Shane!" Carl said before running toward his dad and mom who were outside with Hershel and a few others farming and taking care of the livestock.
"Are you sure that's a good idea Shane?" Andrea who was also sitting with the group asked while looking at the small back of Carl who had grown a good bit over the winter.
"He's a good shot, calm in dangerous situations. He will be fine as long as I'm there." Shane smiled at Andrea who nodded.
If there was anyone she trusted to protect the group it was Shane.
He was a single man army.
"Daryl, call everyone who's going and tell them to meet at the truck in ten, we're heading out before the sun fully comes out." Shane said to Daryl who had been licking his fingers clean of Chili before looking at him and nodding.
Shane went to his cell where all his weapons were laid out along with holsters and a bunch of other gear they had scavenged over time.
"Let me help." Amy came in with her blonde hair in a small bun before helping to attach his guns to him and putting a few ammo pouches and grenade pouches on his belt buckle.
After she was done they both stared into each others eyes before Amy spoke.
"Please be safe." Amy put her small hand on Shane's skull vest which already had multiple bullet holes.
"I'll try." Shane smirked before putting his hand on Amy's soft cheek and leaned in before they slowly tasted each other's lips.
Shane felt his heart beat grow faster as all the consequences of this kiss poured into his head.
He knew he now had a major weakness in this world that could cost him his life but a second later all those thoughts disappeared.
What was the point of even surviving if it was just him alone?
So he let himself fall for Amy completely while knowing he'd do anything to protect her and she would do the same for him.
He enjoyed her soft lips a second more before leaning back and looking into Amy's glistening green eyes before he started walking out of the cell.
"I'll be back." He smiled as Amy blushed before she nodded.
A few minutes later everyone was at the truck ready to leave with a few people saying their goodbyes.
Sniff sniff
Sophia cried while hugging her mom.
"Please come back." Sophia, who had also grown quite a bit, hugged her mom before letting her go.
"Shane-"
"Don't worry Lori, Carl is a strong boy he can take care of himself, besides I won't let anything happen to him." Shane said to Lori who was nervously rubbing her hands together with Rick putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I trust you Shane." Rick said with a nod which displayed all the trust he had for Shane who was his best friend and helped his family get out of the city during the outbreak.
"Mom, I will be careful, promise." Carl said while nodding at his mom who patted his cowboy hat and smiled sadly while rubbing her pregnant stomach which looked ready to burst.
"You're a good boy." Lori said before they all started loading up.
Daryl was driving with him in the passenger seat.
In the back was Carl, Carol and Glenn who had already kissed Maggie goodbye.
They had already grown very close over the winter and could be seen spending nights together in the watchtowers.
Hershel had even given Glenn his pocket watch showing his acceptance of the relationship which made everyone proud of Glenn as he was a good man who had grown quite a bit over the last few months.
"Set off." Shane said to Daryl who stomped on the gas and soon the bridge was lowered and they headed toward the other community who'd they be spying on for the next few days.
If there was nothing off about them they would let themselves be known and start trading and working together but if they found something they didn't like, well…
Then they would get rid of a potential enemy.
