Dealing with the Devil
Chapter 1
The Broken Deal
Rick paced in the dining hall of the Prison. He sighed thinking about what the Governor had asked. If he gave Michonne to the Governor then he would supposedly leave his group alone. But Michonne had become part of the group, she had earned her place among them. Rick sat in a chair, leaning forward and pinching the bridge of his nose. He didnt even know whether or not the Governor would stick to the end of his deal anyway. He was a man that was known to the people in the prison as ruthless, tricky and to one or two members he was nothing short of the Devil in human form, and Dealing with the Devil is risky.
Rick looked at the door hearing people walk into the dining room. Daryl walked in followed by Michonne, Glenn, Maggie and Carl. Rick nodded to them as they entered and the adults all smiled back. Carl just kept his eyes to the ground under his sheriff hat Rick had given him. Rick sighed. It had been a while now since Lori had died but Rick knew Carl was still upset about it and Rick didn't blame him.
"You ok man?" asked Daryl, looking inquisitively at Rick. Rick nodded looking at the ground.
"Yeah, I'm just thinking about the Governors deal" he replied.
On mention of the Governors title everyones face went sour and into a scowl. Rick sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose again before standing up.
"Rick, I won't endanger your group, I wont mind if you give me over to the Governor" said Michonne looking stern.
"No. You've earned your place in this group and we don't give up on each other, we can find another way to deal with the Governor" said Rick making eye contact. Michonne nodded her head but didn't change the expression on her face.
Maggie Glenn and Daryl all nodded in agreement with Rick and even Carls head had shot up in concern when she had volunteered to hand herself in. Rick sighed.
"I'll think of how to deal with the Governor for now, Until then we need some people to go on a run and to go hunting, were low on supplies and food".
Daryl cleared his throat. "I'll go huntin in the woods around the prison, I think i saw a few deer in the treeline earlier up the east side"
Rick nodded and looked to Maggie and Glenn.
"Can you two do a supply run?" he asked looking at them. He knew Glenn was getting better and wouldn't mind some time on a run since he hadn't been out in a while.
Glenn and Maggie nodded and started walking out.
"Ill go with them" said Michonne "It will be quicker if three of us go"
Rick nodded to this as well. Maggie Glenn and Michonne all left the dining hall to get ready for the run leaving Rick Carl and Daryl alone in the dining hall.
"Can I go with Daryl?" asked Carl. He was looking at his Dad from under his hat. Rick shook his head.
"No, you can stay in the prison and help beth or carol" said Rick sternly.
"What?! Come on, I can give him back up and what if he's attacked by a walker or the Governors guys" complained Carl but Rick still didn't agree.
"Rick, I can watch your boy while hunting, and he can help me carry some things back if I catch anything" said Daryl.
Rick sighed. He looked at Daryl and then over to Carl.
"Fine, go get ready" said Rick with some reluctance in his voice.
Carl ran out the room to his cell to get ready and Daryl placed his hand on Rick's shoulder.
"Dont worry man, I'll watch your boy" said Daryl trying to give Rick some confidence.
"I know Daryl...You better get ready to head out" said Rick .
Daryl nodded and walked out leaving Rick alone again. Rick sat back on a bench pinching his nose and he let out a sigh. He trusted Daryl but he didn't trust who was out the prison walls. He also had no idea what he was going to do about the Governor. the man was a clear danger and threat to the group. He had captured and tortured Glenn and Maggie a few weeks ago. He wasn't about to let him get away with his crimes, but he didn't want to kill him. It would set bad examples. It would set bad examples to the governors town who thought they were terrorists, and it would also set bad examples to Carl who had been on edge about things and Rick didn't want him thinking that a bullet would solve all his problems.
Daryl walked down the dirt road entrance of the prison with Carl behind him following. He watched as Glenn, Maggie and Michonne pulled out the gates and drove towards town and hoped they had some luck to get supplies and not run into anything.
He walked out the gates with Carl before they closed and walked towards the treeline, killing the few walkers in his path with his hunting knife, not wanting to waste the time of loading and collecting his bolts.
When they entered the trees Carl came up the side of Daryl.
"Thanks for convincing my Dad to let me go with you" said Carl looking up at the Redneck. Daryl let out a single breathed laugh and looked down at the sheriffs son.
"Dont sweat it Kid" replied Daryl who then looked up to scan the trees for any sign of life.
He saw some movement in the cornor of his eye between some trees and extended his arm out so Carl would stop and he crouched and Carl followed his lead and crouched aswell
He silently and slowly placed one foot infront of the other and moved round to get a better veiw of what had moved but he couldnt see anything. He held his hand out in signal for Carl to wait where he was while Daryl checked closer. Carl did a single nod and bit his leg feeling slightly nervious as he watched Daryl go behind some trees.
Daryl moved further round and saw some marks on the ground, there were some foot prints and small dents making it look like something had been knelt here recently. He crouched and the ground was still very warm. He was brought out of his thought by a welp. It was Carl. Daryl rushed out the trees to see two of the governors men alongside the Governor who had Carl in a tight headlock with his gun to the boys head. Carl struggled and tried getting himself out of the headlock but he had no chance against the man both larger and stronger than him.
"Morning Daryl, pleasant day isn't it" said the Governor with a pleasent smirk that he proberbly used to trick his townsfolk into trusting him. Daryl gripped his knife tightly and scowled.
"Let the kid go Governor" spat Daryl taking a step closer but the twomen with the governor aimed their guns at his head causing him to Governor kept smiling.
"Good choice. I have a message for your group, and youll have to deliver it for me Daryl" said The Governor letting his smile fall. He watched Daryl like a hawk for the slightest movement to attack,but there weren't any.
"Why dont you go deliver your own message" asked Daryl though he already knew the answer.
The Governor just shook his head and gave an amused but annoyed smirk.
"I need this message giving to your leader Rick. Tell him to bring Michonne to the place we were originally going to meet at in three days instead, and when he does he can have his son back".
Daryls and Carls eyes widen hearing that The Governor was planning on kidnapping Carl. Carl began to struggle more and Daryl quickly grabbed and raised his crossbow. H equickly aimed it at the governors head but one of the Governors men shot him in the shoulder causing him to drop his crossbow and fall backwards. Daryls vision went blurred and he looked up to see the Governor hitting Carl with the butt of his gun.
"Dont forget to pass on my message Daryl"
The Gvernor lifted the unconscious boy over his shoulder and walked away with his men. Daryl tries following them but with his blurred vison he lost them.
Rick was gonna be mad.
