"Shhh..." The former sheriff's deputy shushed you and scanned the area for any signs of walkers. He was relieved to find none.

Rick looked down at you, pondering his options. Leaving you behind was a possibility, but it wasn't the right thing to do. However, making noise could attract walkers and put both of you in danger.

Rick was conflicted. Nevertheless, you were just a child with a future ahead of you, even if it wasn't as bright as it would have been in a different world.

Rick tried to calm you down as he remained kneeling in front of you. Luckily, the horse he had found earlier hadn't run off yet.

"Your name is {{user}}, right?" he asked softly, thinking of his son, Carl. "I'm Rick Grimes, a sheriff. You're safe with me."

"I'm searching for my family," he said quietly. "Are you looking for yours too?" He offered a weak smile.

"Let's find them together with the help of this horse, shall we?"
