Chapter 18: New group
After the group saw a plume of smoke in the distance they decided to send a small scouting group out to gather some intel.
Two separate trucks were currently speeding down the road and inside were Daryl, Glenn, T-Dog, Maggie, Andrea, and Shane.
"What do you think it is?" Maggie asked while looking out the window of the truck and keeping an eye out.
"Dont know, but we're about to find out," Shane said before pulling over to an area full of dense brush to hide the trucks about half a mile from the smoke.
"Get dressed, and remember take no actions unless I say otherwise," Shane said before everyone got dressed into a camouflage ghillie suit making them easily blend into the surrounding forest.
Shane whistled and led the group of six silently into the forest toward where the smoke was coming from, they were eerily silent as they traveled through the forest like silent reapers.
Any walkers they ran into were silently killed with a knife before hidden within the a bush making sure they didn't leave any tracks back to their vehicles.
Just as the group caught sight of the crashed helicopter they heard the roaring engine of a few vehicles.
Shane whistled twice and the group of six quickly split up and put their backs against foliage and trees making them completely vanish by the time a couple of suburbans entered their line of sight.
A group of about seven or eight men jumped out of the two vehicles with a man who had an eye patch and a slow but confident gait appearing to be the leader of the group.
They killed a few surrounding walkers swiftly and scouted the area though entirely missing Shane and his group who were watching their every move from a dozen feet away.
The man with the eyepatch dragged out a man who had died in the crash and finished him with a knife to the head before they drove off with two remaining others who had only been injured in the crash.
Shane whistled and they sprinted back toward their vehicles with Shane and Daryl driving their own vehicle each.
"Follow me!" Shane yelled to Daryl before speeding off following the suburbans from a distance.
Only half an hour later did he finally stop following as the vehicles disappeared behind a manned wall.
Shane marked the location on the map and took notes of the layout before making a U-Turn and driving back toward the prison with Daryl still following behind.
An hour later they were at the prison and everyone met up in the C block to plan their next steps.
"So you're saying theirs another group nearby?" Rick asked while grabbing his wrist. They were sore after a few days of learning to farm with Hershel.
He was still the usual bloodthirsty Rick but he wanted to stay put in the prison until Lori gave birth which would be any day now.
"Yup, they seem fairly armed too." Glenn said with a frown
Shane looked at all of them and smirked. He had made them all completely paranoid of other groups though that wasn't a bad thing.
"Well send a group back to scavenge all of those helicopter parts as for the other group, well send her." Shane nodded at Carol who had been listening the whole time but had not spoken a word.
"Carol?" Rick asks while looking at Carol with a confused look.
"She will go in as a lost and sick woman looking for a place to stay, meanwhile she will learn the entire ins and outs of the place along with any of the dirty little secrets they're keeping."
"Carol, are you okay with this?" Rick asked while looking at Carol who smiled gently like a caring grandma before nodding.
"It sounds simple enough." Carol smiled though it only sent a cold chill down Rick's spine making Shane laugh at Rick's funny face.
"Relax she can handle it." Shane stood up and patted Rick on the back before giving Carol a day to prepare and say goodbye to Sophia who had grown a good bit over the winter and had started getting good with a gun along with Carl.
After Shane let everyone grab something to eat he went to his cell to check the list of things he still needed to do but halfway there he was stopped by a grim-looking Dale.
"What's wrong?" Every time Dale had a frown it meant something was up which seemed to be a lot these days.
"We got a problem," Dale said while subtly nodding at Axle.
Shane was confused for a second as Axle had already integrated into the group for a few months and seeing home within the C block wasn't that unusual.
But as he followed Axle's line of sight he saw something that made him see red.
It was Sophia and Carl playing with a few toys they had found while scavenging and Axle was staring at them with a gleam in his eye.
Shane felt his blood boil and he wanted to snap but instantly everything went calm and his voice was steady.
"I'll handle it," Shane said like nothing had happened but that only made Dale even more afraid as he knew when Shane was calm somebody was fucked, luckily that somebody wasn't him.
Shane got Rick and Daryl to escort Axle to a nearby shower area with the excuse of Shane needing to meet with him.
A minute later he saw Axle enter with a nervous look which was just his usual look as the man didn't have a single ounce of courage in his body.
"Axle. Axle. Axle. I let you in this group and after months I thought I had you figured out. I had gotten arrogant thinking I had always had everything figured out, thanks for reminding me of where I come from." Shane shook his head with a disappointed smile.
He was disappointed in himself after spending his last life in actual hell he had gotten super confident in this world thinking nothing could slip past him, he was wrong.
"Wh-What are you talking about?" Axle asked while looking confused and glanced at Rick and Daryl who were staring at him from behind waiting for Shane to make a move.
They had already heard from Shane what kind of man Axle was and both of them were ready to gut him.
"It looks like you forgot what I said." Shane walked toward Axle calmly before lunging with a punch to his gut making him gasp and fall to his knees like a sack of potatoes.
"I said if you stuttered one more time I'll tear your tongue out," Shane said with a dark smirk before using one hand to open Axle's mouth and the other reached in and got a grip on Axle's tongue as he tried to wiggle and speak but Daryl and Rick held him down.
Slowly Shane tore the tongue out of Axle's mouth as he squealed and tried to twist his head around but Shane had his entire head clamped by the two sides of his jaw holding him still as his tongue tore from the lower part of his mouth and blood began making him choke.
"Ahhh! Pwase! Slawp!" Axel screamed
A second later Shane was holding Axle's ripped-off tongue and looking him in the eyes.
"Gaw!" Axle threw up a puddle of blood while Shane tossed his tongue down in front of his face.
"When I'm done with you, you won't even be the same person anymore," Shane said with a calm smirk, while Axel looked up at his bloodthirsty eyes and his bloody red skull vest.
He felt like a demon was looking down at him and he wished they would just kill him quickly.
"Pull his pants down."
"Owa!Owa!" Axle tried to say something, but all that came out were jumbled gargles, and Rick and Daryl soon had him on the ground with his pants down.
Finally, the true torment had begun.
"Ahhh!"
The sounds of screaming and squealing echoed for a few hours like a dungeon of hell before the prison finally quieted down.
