(A/n: Lol, I had downloaded chapter 22 by accident, I deleted it right away)
Rick, Shane, and some other men who looked around for their women started to get worried since they didn't know where they were.
Some passed by the baths by didn't hear anything since the baths as well as every room was soundproof.
All the women soon came out giggling to each other and gossiping.
"Omg! I wish I was Amy or Andrea. Heck, even Miranda got stuffed like a turkey on Thanksgiving. "
The women started whispering to themselves when their respective boyfriends and husbands found them.
"Where were you, I was worried sick, you know!" The men all said something similar to this.
"Ah, you know, we were having fun with the girls in the bath." was the only thing that women answered.
Rick saw Lori, but he didn't react much, Shane, however, was angry. Rick was drunk, and Shane wanted to 'talk' to Lori about their relationship, but now it was gonna have to wait since it was pretty late and everybody was going to sleep.
Still, he felt something was wrong, Lori no longer looked worried. In fact, she looked radiant and happy even? Shane was glad that whatever happened to her happened because this way, if Lori is happy, then their conversation would go smooth.

It was the middle of the night, I went to the control room and saw lots of huge flat screens. They were all showing some of the CCTV footages that still worked.
I suddenly got an idea, something that I should have done long before, I grinned and walked behind the keyboard and started typing.
This is a gold mine finding this system is still operating. Suddenly, a voice spoke up from the ceiling.
"Greetings, Master Cross," said a feminine voice.
I looked up and raised an eyebrow. "Either, I'm going Crazy or a computer just spoke to me." I joked, but.
"You are not crazy. I am Vi, an operating system in the military. Right now, I am in the last place of functionality. I will die soon."
"Okay..." That was awkward, but then an Idea hit me. "Vi, can you check the facial scan on this photo and find a match?" I took out a printed photo from the girl I used to talk before shit hit the fan.
"Certainly.... Scanning... Searching.... Found. Last seen in Augusta, Georgia. 1 minute ago."
"Can you display sound?" I asked, hopeful.
"Searching... yes, what would you like to say?"
I widened my eye, and my heart started racing in excitement. "Can you connect me to her?" I asked.
"... Yes... Connecting. You may speak now."

A petite girl with long brown hair could be seen running from walkers along with a middle-aged woman and another young man.
"Alicia, on top of the truck!" screamed the older woman.
"Mom, hurry!" Alicia extended her hands to help out her mom get on the top of the semi. Then, both women helped the young man.
"Alicia, Nick. Are you hurt?" asked the woman worried.
"No, mom. we are fine." said Nick, the older brotger of Alicia.
Madison Clark, Alicia, and Nick's mom sighed in relief. However, she felt her heart crumble every day since her boyfriend died by the hands of people no less. They've been on the run for a while. Finding whatever it is that they found useful.
Today, they were doing the same as always, survive. They had seen a supermarket down the road and tried to loot it. However, Nick opened a locked door, and walkers went out in waves.
So after running for quite some time, they finally found a place high enough truck where they can wait the walkers out.
They waited for what seemed like a good hour, Nick seemed to be getting annoyed and inpatient as he laid there looking up, and wanted to do the same thing he did once, which was walk among them, as one of them.
As they were starting to feel inpatient, Madison, their mom, wanted to do something about it, like check the fuel of this truck, see if it even started.
Anything that would get her kids saved.
"Mom, what are you doing!?" Hissed Alicia.
"It's okay, baby girl. Don't worry, I'm just gonna check inside the cabin to see if we can find anything."
Luckily, the window was open, and walkers, while their hands reached up, they couldn't reach all the way up the windows, so Madison thought it was worth a shot.
"I'm coming too!" said Alicia, supporting her mother.
"No! You'll stay here, where it's safe."
"Mom! I'm not a kid anymore, I can do this, I'm smaller and more agile than you. I can check it out." she said
Madison shook her head. "No, I said. I'll go, I won't put you in danger. I'm your mom. it's my job!"
"Your job is to believe in us, mom." said Alicia, very convincing.
Madison kept shaking her head in denial, but Alicia had already started to get down.
The walkers were raising their arms up to reach for her. Some touched her body, but she made it inside safely.
Madison breathed out in relief, she doesn't know what she would do if something were to happen to her daughter or son.
She looked back and saw Nick lying, looking up the cloudy sky. Madison sighed. Sometimes, her eldest son could be annoying.
"Mom! a radio!" said Alicia.
"I'm coming down, scoot over, stay here, Nick."
"Yeah, okay." said Nick bored.
Madison scaled down, but she slipped and almost fell. The walkers grabbed her shirt and ripped it off of her, leaving her torso naked. She wasn't even wearing a bra.
"Mom!" Alicia went to help her mother inside.
Once inside, Madison was covering her big juicy tits being modest to not show her kid her nakedness, though she wouldn't worry much. She was already a mother, and there was nothing she was ashamed of, but still, it didn't mean she wanted to be naked.
"Here, mom." Alicia gave her mother an old trucker's shirt that was there in the back, the truck had a cabin so there was even a bed there with some chocolate and protein bars and a galon of water.
Mother and daughter duo blinked in surprise at this and felt hopeful for now, Alicia rapidly called her brother in, and soon, the three of them were eating a protein bar while drinking water. Nick chugged down on the water, which caused Alicia to smack him on the head.
"You are not the only here, you idiot." Hissed the petite girl.
Nick rubbed his back and sat on the corner while closing his eyes. He felt tired.
Alicia just rolled her eyes, seeing her brother act sl carelessly.
*HHSSHHHH*
Static radio sound started playing on the truck's radio.
"Ali... ci... a"
