I climbed out of the hole and looks like i was in a chamber between the walls. looked like a camp.

Dog was by my side again.

Suddenly we heard that noise again.

Me "Dog"

Dog started to run through another tunnel.

I hissed "Dog! come here!"

Then i climbed through the tunnel.

--

There was a walker behind me crawling through the tunnel while walkers were cutting off my exit hole.

I grabbed my knife and rammed it through it eyes.

Then i grabbed a crowbar and killed the walkers that were blocking by exit hole and climbed out of the tunnel. There was fresh blood on the ground. I heard Dog barking and then i heard walkers.

Roy stumbled towards me "Kendall, help me. "

Then he fell to the ground.

Dog was killing a walker before running to me.

I checked him for wounds before killing the two walkers.

Then i walked over to Roy.

Roy "How bad is it?"

Me " It ain't good. You went topside? "

He nodded "Yeah. I lost Gage. "

Me "Where's the ammo bag? Where's the ammo bag? "

Roy "I lost that, too. "

Then he handed me a gun " Here. It's all I got. Tell my kids I didn't die a coward."

I nodded while looking at him.

Suddenly i heard shooting.

Dog started to bark again

I followed the shooting noise.

Inside the wagon.

The walkers were going through the other door, looks like the others were in the other wagon.

I smirked and started to shoot the walkers in the head.

Suddenly i saw Negan's face at the door, he was trying to kick in the door but it was blocked.

I unlocked the door.

Negan yelled "Hurry! Come on, go! "

They ran into my wagon.

I yelled "Get behind something!"

Then i threw some grenades into the other wagon before closing the door and hiding behind something.

The hole thing exploded.

Outside.

I took a deep breath of fresh air.

Maggie "We need to take a detour first. Arbor Hills. "

Daryl "What's there? "

Maggie "Hidden supply depot. Georgie set 'em up all over, in case we ran into any trouble when we were out looking for survivors. It has ammo, food, weapons. Rest up there, restock, and then head to Meridian. Radio tower marks that neighborhood. You know where that is?"

Negan nodded " Yeah. Come on. "

They started to walk again.

Daryl grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

I looked at him.

Daryl "what you did was incredible stupid, Kendall"

I nodded "i know"

Daryl asked confused "then why did you do it?"

Dog nudged his head on my thigh and i looked at him "i couldn't let him die"

Daryl "why? he's not your dog?"

Me "Our relationship died - i will not let the same happen to Dog"

He nodded "Thank you"

I shook my head "i didn't do it for you"

Daryl "i was worried about you "

I gave him a sad smile before taking his hand off my arm.

Daryl sighed "Ken-"

I shook my voice, cracking "please, don't"

--

We walked up a road and froze.

There were people hung upside down from the trees.

Negan "Well, this place sure has gone to shit since the last time I was here. Let's double back. We can cut through... "

Suddenly an arrow hit Roy in the chest and he fell back.

A knife hit Duncan's thigh and he groaned out.

We pulled him behind a car.

A group of people walked up the street in masks and big knifes.

--

We were all spread around in the woods, being hunted by those people.

Next day. morning.

I walked up to the safe house and knocked 5 times.

The door opened and Maggie aimed a gun at me.

I raised my hands and she pulled me in - closing the door behind me.

Negan, Gabriel, Cole and Maggie herself were the one ones here.

I looked around confused "Daryl?"

They shook their heads.

I breathed out shakily.

Negan "how did you escape? "

Me "i ran as fast as i could. Trust me, i don't think i've ever ran this fast in my life before"

Maggie nodded.

Suddenly we heard a noise from outside.

Negan looked out the window "We're not alone"

Maggie opened the hatch on the ground and we climbed down there.

Suddenly the doors got kicked in and we heard the house filling with people.

I was chest on chest with Negan.

A man "Nothing. "

Suddenly i heard another voice "Maybe they went out the back. I can track them."

My stomach dropped.

Daryl.

The other guy "Are you in a hurry to leave? "

Daryl "What? "

The other guy "Other building, you wanted to stick around and make sure we didn't miss anything. Now you wanna run right off. Which is it? "

Daryl "Look, man, I'm just trying to help. "

The other guy "Yet you keep chirpin'. "

Daryl "Fine. You lose 'em, it's on you. It ain't on me."

A woman " Stop. Wash, we need a perimeter check. Possible runners. Half a klick. Look. I don't have time for this toddler bullshit."

The guy "Leah-"

Leah " Listen... I know. I understand, but I don't need it. Go sift upstairs, make sure we didn't miss anything. "

The guy left.

Leah " Don't"

Daryl ". Don't what? "

Leah "You're either with us or you're not. "

Daryl nodded "What do you want me to do? "

my heart stopped for a second.

Leah "For one thing... stop pissing off Carver. Usually don't end well. "

Then she walked out.

---

Daryl "They ran. They ain't comin' back here. "

Caver "What? "

Daryl "I mean, think about it. You hit 'em hard. Even if they get more people, they won't come back here. It's a bad move. You got what? 20 people in your town. You got weapons. You got walls. You'd see them coming from a mile away. Trust me. They ran. "

Caver "Is there a point to any of this? "

Leah "Let's go. There's nothing here. It's time we move on. "

Caver "No. We're missing something."

Daryl snapped " Fine. Let's waste another hour. That's smart."

Leah " Daryl..."

Daryl " It's not my fault he's too stupid to pay attention! "

caver "Yeah. Chirp, chirp, chirp. "

Leah " Enough."

Caver " Ah, screw that. This dirtbag wants to play, I'll teach him the rules."

Daryl " I'm right here, man. Make a move. "

Leah "This is not the time, and it's not your call to make."

Caver " Jesus, Shaw. We both know who he really is deep down. "

Leah "What? "

Caver "I was there. Remember? After. What, you think this is gonna end any different?"

Leah " So this is what? You looking out for me? "

Caver "Always. "

Leah "Uh-huh. Gotcha. And what about the fire? When Pope locked me in the cabin and lit it up. You must have known. Was that you looking out for me, too?"

Caver " Shaw. Wake up. Everything's a test now. If you think this guy is ever gonna give a shit about any of us, you're gonna fail. "

Daryl "No, he's right. I don't give a shit about any of you. Except you. I'm here for you. It's no secret. I made mistakes. But I'm here right now. Maybe I'd be better at it this time, if you'd let me."

I looked down.

The others were sneaking out through the tunnel.

Negan grabbed my hand and walked out with me.
