"No way! This is so cool!" Sarah and Eric hurried up to where Mikey, Vince and Casey returned from scavenging.

Mikey pushed a four-wheeler forward, steering it down the road. He nodded at the two of them with a grin and kept on his way.

"Where did you find this?" Eric asked him.

"He can't hear you," Sarah reminded him and hurried a few steps ahead. She put a hand up and Mikey stopped. She spoke more directly at Mikey. "Where did you find this?"

"Find it?" he asked.

"Yeah." She gave him a thumbs up.

"In that neighborhood," Mikey said back, "The one with all the solar panels... in a garage."

"Cool." Sarah grinned and nodded at Eric as Mikey continued on down the road with the all-terrain vehicle.

Vince approached where the two of them still stood and motioned to Sarah. "Where's your dad?"

She laughed, "Negan?"

"Yeah."

"I don't know." She raised her eyebrows. "Is something wrong?"

"I'd just like to speak to him."

"He's probably at the house." Sarah looked over her shoulder.

"Thanks kid." Vince walked past them down the street and Sarah glanced at Eric.

"Sounds like something is wrong to me," she said.

"We should just stay out of it."

Sarah grabbed his hand. "You're with me... be brave."

Eric smiled at her and allowed her to tow him in the direction of the house, purposely keeping their distance from Vince as they went.

"Hey what was it like driving around out there?" Eric asked quietly.

"It was fun."

"Think Negan would teach me to drive?"

She shrugged without taking her eyes off of Vince. "Maybe."

Eric cleared his throat and whispered. "Can you ask him?'

Sarah glanced over at him for a moment with a grin. "Sure."

He pointed up ahead when Negan walked toward Vince from the back of the Manor. When he caught Vince's eye they exchanged a wave and Vince approached him. The two men met up, exchanged a few words and then Negan got on a radio he had been carrying.

"What are they saying?" Eric asked aloud, not really directing it toward Sarah.

"No idea." She waved him around the back of their house and then crept in closer to try giving a listen.

For a moment neither of them spoke but soon Matt jogged in from the direction of his home followed closely by Casey and Mikey.

"Something's up," Sarah suspected. She glanced down the road when she saw Alexandra approaching from the same way Negan had come. Her expression showed her confusion and she walked up to Negan.

"I'll fill you in at home honey," he vowed. "I promise."

"She looks mad," Eric whispered.

"She's probably pissed that me and him went out driving." Sarah looked around and wondered aloud, "Where are Lucy and Joe?"

"At Matt's house."

She looked at him and he nodded in confirmation.

When Alexandra walked away the group of men began to walk in the opposite direction. Negan stayed out for a moment and stared across the street as she began to pass by the medical building.

"Hey Alex!" He called after her to which she simply shouted back, "I'll see you at home!"

Sarah waited as Negan struggled as to what direction to go in. When he trailed after Vince and the others Sarah waved Eric with her again. Reluctantly he followed but listened to every command she gave him.

"They're meeting in the barn," she whispered, witnessing the group wander in through the big doors before Negan dragged his feet and shoved his hands in his pockets as he joined them.

"Come on," Sarah tugged on Eric's sleeve when Negan disappeared inside. "There's a ladder up the back. We'll go up into the top and listen from up there."

"What?" His eyes were wide and she snickered with amusement.

"Just come on..."

Sarah hurried around the barn with Eric just a step behind her. When he caught up to her he glanced over as they ran with a smirk and then took off faster.

"Oh no way," Sarah said with a laugh as she chased him behind the barn.

"I win!" Eric playfully gloated with a grin as he reached the wooden step ladder first.

"Cheater." She smiled when he continued to and then the two of them hurried up into the upper lair of the barn that overlooked where Negan and the others were gathered.

Sarah put her finger to her lips and proceeded to army crawl through the hay that littered the wooden rafters until they were nearly just above where the men talked. Eric followed her lead and the two of them laid on their stomachs, using the darkness in their favor.

"It's not a definite but it's a possibility," Vince said. "The whole area and then some was infested."

"How far?" Negan asked.

"That neighborhood where, uh... where Richie died," Casey explained.

"You're still pulling shit from there?"

"Yes sir. It goes way beyond what we thought."

"Bottom line is it's been overrun with the geeks," Vince went on. "And by overrun I don't mean fifty or sixty even."

"Either way," Negan said, "What's the fuckin' problem?"

"They are around us by the masses... swarms like I haven't seen since the beginning of all this," Vince informed them. "They're may eventually find their way here. It isn't far."

"And it's on purpose," Casey added.

"How do you figure?" Matt asked.

Nwgan put his hands out. "You don't even seem to know if they're actually fuckin' coming this way."

"Migration," Casey said, "If they stick to the trail they could be upon on the weeks to come."

"What's the on purpose part?" Matt asked again.

"They've got spikes in 'em," Casey said, "Some armored with helmets and others have what looked like..." he crinkled his nose, "Gizzards or livers or other gross shit at he end of the spikes in front of 'em to keep 'em marching forward."

"Weird shit," Vince concluded.

Negan ran a hand along his beard and thought back to the Sanctuary and the type of makeshift armor Eugene had put on some of the walkers.

"Think it's them people Negan?" Vince asked. "Because I am just about damn ready to pull a full blown don't fuck with us attack on them if you were to stand by it."

Negan cleared his throat and shook his head despite letting the idea pass through his mind. "No... no I wouldn't think they'd go through the fuckin' trouble. Not in that way."

"Then who?"

"It may not be fuckin' anybody Vince. Shit, it could be nobody. They could be a stray herd."

Casey began to shake his head but Vince went on over him. "Either way it's no good. They're disrupting our runs at best and at the worst they are heading straight for us and looking mighty hard to kill."

Negan looked around. "Well what the fuck do you suggest we do?" Frankly he didn't want to be bothered with it.

Vince looked around. "I was hoping you could help with that... that all of us could... maybe get a team out there to start taking them down, cut the numbers out."

Negan huffed a laugh. "I have a bum fuckin' leg. I'm not chasing the undead around the fuckin' town."

"Its more than that," Casey explained.

Negan turned and began to walk away but Vince called him back.

"Negan..."

"What?"

"Where are you going?"

Negan looked around the group and then shook his head. "I'm going the fuck home to my family," he said firmly and pointed to Matt, "He's the leader of this place, not me. Run your ideas by him." He turned again. "I'm going home."

Sarah looked over at Eric and raised her eyebrows. She motioned toward the back window they'd climbed through. "Come on," she whispered, We got what we came for. Let's get out of here."

"What about the undeads they were talking about? What if they come for us?"

"If Negan isn't worried, then it's no big deal." She began to crawl back through the hay. "Now let's go."
