Securing Wiltshire

Upon hearing the news of Chris's ****, Rick quickly changed gears and called everyone back to his house. He decided that everyone had done enough for the day, deciding that a few would take watch shifts for the next night and give everyone the break they needed to mourn. You helped Tyreese make a grave for Chris for the rest of the day before returning to the house and grabbing a quick dinner before heading to sleep.

Over the next few days Rick kept things very tight shipped, the first day you, Tyreese, Allen, Dale, and Glenn led a campaign around the entirety of Wiltshire Estates with him. Each day the six of you checked through each of the houses and yards killing any of the straggling walkers until you were finally sure that the walkers were finally cleared out of your new safe haven. The following two days were spent rechecking the estate, searching each house again as well as the small private golf course located towards the back of the community. Once this was complete your group was finally free to walk around and even search the place in peace.

Dale took the initiative and drove his RV into the estate, parking it along the wall next to the gate, using it as a new watch tower as to keep an eye on anything that may be coming up the road towards your group. In the meantime your group found more then enough food to keep them going for one, maybe two months if rationed correctly. Along with this great news you were all able to also find a house for yourselves, the others only had minor damage but all needed a good cleaning from the grunge of the dead.

Before any of you realized it a whole week had passed by and things honestly seemed quite hopeful for the lot of you. Stress finally seemed to melt off of each of the survivors and you could even see Rick starting to relax. Of course you knew that long term having only ten people wouldn't be able to confirm the safety of the group but for now, things seemed like they were going to remain stable.

On the dawn of the second week you woke up bright and early and made your way down the stairs of your house. It was nice to be living in a near mansion but lack of power and running water was definitely a let down. However there was a chance that not all was lost on that front as Dale and Andrea located a small concrete building located on the far side of the community, it was locked up but Dale swore it was a utilities building as high income communities were often self reliant.

You finished getting dressed and thought about maybe heading over and helping the pair out, maybe see if you could get things finally running again. You stopped as you remembered that Rick and Tyreese were planning on going outside to check the walls and clear off and clumped up walkers. Allen and Donna seemed to have taken babysitting duty today so you figured they could always use some help. Not to mention that Lori and Carol had the large task of organizing and categorizing the entire food supply you had located.

As you thought it over you noticed Glenn out in front of his house knelt down while going through a backpack, he had his jacket on and pulled out his gun, checking the clip before putting it into the back of his jeans. "I wonder where he's heading off too," You muttered out before stopping and thinking of Julie, "I wonder how she's doing," You added on, remembering the lack of communication Julie had been giving anyone since Chris's ****. With everyone having something going on, you thought it all over one final time before heading out the door towards.
