Dad walked to Michonne.
Michonne " so we're clear. That look wasn't a " let's attack that man " look. It was a " he seems like an okay guy to me" look. "
Dad ignored her " we got to secure him. Dump his pack . let's see what this guy really is."
Michonne " Rick"
I looked at her.
Dad " everybody else, we need eyes in every direction. They're coming for us. We might not know how or when, but they are."
Maggie " Me and Sasha, we didn't see him. If he had wanted to hurt us, he could've. "
Dad ignored her " anybody see anything?"
Glenn " just a lot of places to hide"
Dad " all right. Keep looking"
Me " Dad"
He looked at me.
Me " That guy was annoying me with his talk but he seemed okay. He ain't looking like a killer or something like that"
Dad ignored me and walked to Carl.
I rolled my eyes.
Aaron woke up and held his jaw " That's a hell of a right cross, Rick. "
Dad " Sit him up."
Maggie " I think it's better if-"
Aaron " It's okay "
Dad " He's fine. Sit him up."
Michonne sat him up. They had chained his hands together behind his back.
Aaron " you're being cautious. I completely understand. "
Dad " how many of your people are out there? You have a flare gun. You have it to signal your people. How many of them are there?"
Aaron " does it matter?"
Dad nodded " yes. Yes,it does. "
Aaron " I mean, of course, it means how many people are actually out there, but does it matter how many people I tell you are out there? Because I'm pretty sure no matter what number I say...eight, 32, 444, 0. No matter what I say, you're not going to trust me. "

Dad " well, it's hard to trust anyone who smiles after getting punched in the face. "
Aaron " how about a guy who leaves bottles of water for you in the road? "
Daryl " how long you people been following us? "
Aaron " long enough to see that you practically ignore a pack of roamers on your trail. Long enough to see that despite a lack of food and water, you never turned on each other. You're survivors and you're people. Like I said, and I hope you won't punch me for saying it again, that is the most important resource in the world. "
Dad " how many others are out there?"
Aaron " one. "
Dad shook his head.
Aaron " I knew you wouldn't believe me. If it's not words, if it's not pictures, what would it take to convince you that this is for real? What If I drove you to the community? All of you? We leave now, we'll get there by lunch. "
Dad " I'm not sure how the 16 of us are gonna fit in a car you and your friend drove down here in. "
Aaron " we drove separately. If we found a group, we wanted to be able to bring them all home. There's enough room for all of us. "
Carol " and you parked just a couple of miles away, right? "
Aaron " East on Ridge Road, just after you hit Route 16. We wanted to get them closer but then the storm came, blocked the road. We couldn't clear it. "
Dad " yeah, you've really thought this through. "
Aaron " Rick, if I wanted to ambush you, I'd do it here. You km now, light the barn on fire while you slept, pick you off as you ran out the only exit. You can trust me. "

Michonne " I'll check out the cars. "
Dad " there aren't any cars. "
Michonne " there's only one way to find out. "
Dad shook his head " we don't need to find out. "
I nodded " She's right. Even if you think you're sure but she and I are not."
Maggie " Me neither."
Dad sighed " your way is dangerous , mine isn't. "
Michonne " passing up someplace where we can live? Where Judith can live? That's pretty dangerous. We need to find out what this is. We can handle ourselves. So that's what we're gonna do. "
Glenn nodded" Then I will, too. I'll go."
Dad " Abraham"
Abraham nodded" yeah. I'll walk with them"
Dad " Rosita?"
Rosita nodded" okay"
Dad " if there's trouble, you got enough firepower? "
Glenn nodded" We got what we got"
Dad " the walkies are out of juice. If you're not back in 60 minutes, we'll come. Wich might be just what they want. "
-----
We walked out and started walking.
Michonne " what if he was right?"
Me " then Dad was wrong"
She smirked at me.
Me " even if it's all true what he said. There might be a chance that it might end like the prison. But this time with a extremely big herd of Walkers instead of a Governor "
Michonne nodded.
Suddenly we saw a big fallen tree on the road. Behind it were a car and a RV.
Michonne " He's right"
We climbed over the tree and two walkers came. Rosita and Glenn killed them.
Abraham and Rosita walked I inside to clear it.
We drove then the car and the Rev back to the barn. We all emptied the RV and carried the whole food inside the barn.
Dad to Aaron " this . this is ours now. "
Aaron nodded " there's more than enough. "
Dad " It's ours Whether or not we go to your camp. "
Carl asked confused" what do you mean? Why wouldn't we go? "
Michonne " if he were lying or if he wanted to hurt us...but he isn't..and he doesn't. We need this. So we're going, all of us. Somebody say something if they feel differently. "
Daryl shook his head " I don't know, man. This barn smells like horse shit. "
Dad nodded "yeah. We're going. "
He turned to Aaron " so where are we going? Where's your camp? "
Aaron " Well, every time I've done this, I've been behind the wheel driving recruits back. I believe you're good people. I bet my life on it. I'm just not ready to bet my friend's lives just yet. "
I walked to him and kneeled down in front of him " listen, we agreed to come with you but under our terms. You're not gonna drive so tell us how"
Aaron sighed and look at dad who had a map in his hand " go north Route 16. "
Me " And then?"
Aaron" I'll tell you when we get there. "
I sighed annoyed.
Dad " we'll take 23 north. You'll give us directions from there. "
Aaron shook his head" That's....I don't know how else to say it...that's a bad idea. We've cleared 16. It'll be faster. "
Dad " we'll take 23. We leave at sundown."
Me " sure you wanna drive at night?"
Dad " look, I know it's dangerous. But it's better riding up the gates during the day. If it isn't safe, we need to get gone before they know we're there. "
Aaron " no one is going to hurt you. You're trying to protect your group, but you're putting them in danger. "
Dad " tell me where the camp is, we'll leave right now. "
I sighed and stood up. Aaron shook his head.
Dad " It's going to be a long night. Eat. Get some rest if you can. "
Dad walked out and Michonne followed him.
I walked back to the others and sat down next to Daryl.

Metagame
Some people get a second chance, late in life, and jump on it. Other people are on their third before they turn twenty. One was given everything they wanted, and threw it away on principle. One earned their place, but could never afford to pay the price. One never failed, right up until it mattered. One encountered nothing but failure, instead helping others achieve success. One never believed themselves worthy. One is crushed by the past, afraid of what might repeat itself. And the last never had a goal to begin with. But while nobody cared and no one was watching, they each decided to carry on in their own ways, even when that made things worse- and they did, usually, get worse. Arrows Through Reality, often called Arrows or ATR, is the world's first full-immersion Virtual Reality game, a MOBA by Granduon incorporated that didn't blow its competition out of the water, but did provide a new entry point that had millions trying their new game. Two years later, the player base has only grown, and everybody knows the most effective tactics... but while a cutting-edge AI supposedly runs the game's balance, it hasn't patched anything a single time. Well, the most effective way to do anything is subjective, right?
