Rick finally pulls into Alexandria long after dark. The soft music from the radio plays in the background, easing his tense brain.

After that, he unloads the supplies he brought, says goodnight to the guards, takes a quick tour of Alexandria after dropping Carl off and finally pulls up in front of his own house.

Rick walks up the porch with heavy steps and opens the door. The first thing that catches his eye is the light in the kitchen, visible through the living room.

Carl must be at Daryl's, and Judith at Carol's.

Who the hell could be in his house in the middle of the night?

His entire body tenses as he moves quietly toward the kitchen, holding the gun in his hand.
