《TROUBLE [twd]》ryan knows best
Advertisement
The next morning, the remaining group on the road went to the 'farm' that Nanami had been told about. As they make their way out of the vehicles, everyone was happy to see Sophia back and Nanami trailing behind.
From there, Beth and Jimmy made them breakfast. Once Sophia was done, she was quick to go to Carl's room as Glenn and Ryan kept Nanami company.
"How's Carl?" Nanami asks Glenn.
"He's doing better. It was a close call, but he's still here," Glenn answers.
"What about you? You were gone for almost a week out there, all by yourself," Ryan wonders.
Nanami purses his lips, knowing all too well that he wasn't on his own.
"It's scary," he decides, "Geeks up close.. They're a lot scarier than I thought."
Glenn reaches over, patting his shoulder, "Well, we're glad to have you back. Happy to see you in one shape."
As Maggie walks by, the girl that made Nanami stutter over his words, Glenn's eyes drift after her.
"I'll catch up later, guys," Glenn says, aimlessly as he chases after Maggie.
Nanami huffs out the idea of a laugh at his actions before Ryan scoots his chair closer.
"You weren't alone out there," Ryan squints to him.
"What?" Nanami asks.
"You met someone out there."
"Yeah. Sophia," Nanami nods, not meeting Ryan's eyes.
Ryan fights for the contact, leaning forward in his seat to force himself into Nanami's sight.
"Who was it?" Ryan asks.
"No one," Nanami shakes his head, "Just me. Then, Sophia."
"If it was just you and Sophia, then you wouldn't be here."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Nanami defensively questions.
"At the old camp, you were out every day searching for Kiko. Now that we're here, suddenly you're not asking Daryl to go looking?"

Nanami's eyes widen in realization, Ryan's following as he points to Nanami's expression, "Aha! You were with-"
Ryan's words fall short as Nanami stuffs a napkin in his mouth.
"You can't tell anyone," Nanami whispers hastily.
Turning his head to the side, Ryan spits the napkin out, "Why not? If she's alive and out there, we need to find her."
"She doesn't want to be found," Nanami sighs, leaning back in his seat.
"So, what? She wants to just die out there?" Ryan asks.
"She wants to be alone. She doesn't want anyone around her. I don't know.." Nanami closes his eyes, "I tried. I really did. But, she just.."
Ryan frowns, hating that the siblings were at such odds.
"You know.." Ryan begins, "Remember how I told you that Glenn is only my step brother?"
Nanami opens his eyes, turning to look at Ryan with a nod. Ryan takes a breath before he's leaning back in his chair as well.
"My real brother.. We were only a year apart. We were best friends. Then, our parents got divorced.. He wanted to stay with our dad and I wanted to stay with out mom. He and dad ended up moving away and mom remarried to Glenn's dad. Then, Glenn was my best friend. He's so much older than me, but he still liked the things I did. We went to the movies, arcade games, we stayed up when I wasn't supposed to and played video games.."
Ryan twiddles his thumbs, his lips pursing, "Last year, my brother came to visit. That's when I realized just how much we'd changed. And the whole week he was visiting, we acted like we didn't know each other. Then, when he left, I was happy because I got to go back to spending time with Glenn."

"Is this supposed to be a happy story?" Nanami asks.
Ryan rolls his eyes, nudging Nanami's arm, "Just.. Siblings are family. Especially twins like you and Kiko. Not many people get to have that.. So, don't let it get messed up. Don't let the one person that knows you become the only person you don't know."
Nanami picks at the table cloth, biting the inside of his lip.
"Also you have until tonight to tell Daryl or else I'm telling him myself."
"Ryan!" Nanami hisses.

Climbing onto the trunk of a car, Sakiko balances herself as she makes it to the roof. Once on the tip top of the car, she steps over onto the truck that was beside it, sitting crisscross on top of the vehicle.
She sorts through her bag, picking up the pair of binoculars she'd found in one of the cars earlier. She doesn't look through them, instead pulling the strap around her and letting it rest on her chest. Once comfortable, she pillages through her bag once more before picking out a hat.
Grinning to herself, she places the hat on and clears her throat as she squares her shoulders.
"Now, kids.. Don't go running off where no one can find you. If you see anything, holler," she says, mocking Dale's voice.
She giggles, dumping the hat off her head and laying back, letting her feet dangle off the side of the truck.
"Okay, old man," Sakiko laughs, "Sure that only applied to Carl and Sophia, anyway."
Pulling her arms behind her head, Sakiko lets out a sigh, smiling up at the sun.
--
As the sky began to turn to a orange setting, Nanami found himself and Daryl by themselves where Daryl was setting up a small camp sight for the two of them.
"Rick and Shane said that Hershel said we can stay until Carl heals up. But, I think we should hit the road soon," Daryl reveals.
"Us?" Nanami asks, "Just me and you?"
"We gotta find Kiko and Merle," Daryl reminds, "These people ain't gonna help us."
Remembering Ryan's words, Nanami gulps and scoots to the edge of the log he was sitting on, "Daryl.."
"But, I talked to Rick. He said he could spare us a vehicle if we need to go. Carol told him 'bout what you did for her little girl. He wants to repay the favor to help us out a bit."
"I saw Sakiko."
Daryl's actions of pitching the tent halt. As Nanami's words register in his mind, he drops the poles and looks to him.
"What?"

"Montana, come here." He nodded his head toward the door, leaving out of the room. Staying silent as Ms. Carol looked at me, I kissed the back of Josiah's hand before leaving out of the room. As I walked out, Messiah stood there looking at me in disgust while I closed the door. "What are you doing that shit for?" "Huh?" I said since I had nothing else to say, just trying to stall time to get my words together."Why are you stripping, Monty?"Sighing, I decided that I wasn't going to lie like I'd originally planned to do after listening to Chocolate's stupid advice. "Money." I spoke simply and he scoffed as I looked down."Why not just ask Josiah for money instead doing hoe shit?" "First of all, It's not doing hoe shit. I don't have sex with anyone. I just dance. And I don't want to ask him for any money. It's not his job to take care of me.""So stripping..." He trailed off with a laugh."..stripping was the last resort? Instead of putting your pride aside?" Saying nothing, I just looked at him with pleading eyes."Please don't tell him, Messiah." I could already tell by the look on his face that he was going to tell him."I ain't gon' tell him.." Thank God. I thought. "..you are." "What?!" I shrieked. "No. I'm not.""You are." He spoke in a demanding tone."Please. You know how he is." I expressed"And you know how he is too but you made that bed." "Messiah, he's going to kill me." I begged."I know." He shook his head, walking away from me."Better figure it out. You got until the end of the day to tell him or I will." He mumbled before walking back into the room.
