"Go and get Deanna," Negan ordered Sasha in a quiet voice, "and tell her to bring a sedative."
"Sasha! What is this?!" Carol demanded to know. The Governor had a tight hold around Carol from behind!
Sasha was too appalled to move! She couldn't believe this was happening!
"Sasha!" Negan barked. "Go and get Deanna-NOW!"
"Sasha," the Governor said, "just casually find Deanna and let her know that her brother is having a problem. She'll know to bring a sedative...AAAAHHHH!"
Carol bit the Governor's hand and ran upstairs! He chased after her but was stopped when she slammed and locked a door on him! She then ran to a window and tried to raise it, but it was stuck! Carol looked around wildly before spotting a paperweight. She desperately pulled a pillowcase cover off of a pillow, wrapped the paperweight around it and her hand, then smashed the glass-just as the Governor broke in the door and tackled her to the floor! Negan hurried in after and saw more than a few people staring up where they had heard glass breaking!
"Nothing to fucking see up here!" Negan called down before turning to the Governor and Carol, who were on the floor.
"You're going 'night' 'night' in just a few minutes." Negan smiled. Carol was horrified! Absolutely and utterly horrified! How was the Governor alive? How? And Sasha had known the whole time? Was she in on this? She had to be. Sasha had went tearing out of here after Negan ordered her to, fast enough!
Meanwhile, Sasha whizzed past the truck she was supposed to leave in with Rosita, Dwight and Heath! The three of them looked at one another and Rosita got out of the truck! She hurried after Sasha, while Heath, who would be driving, looked back over by Sasha's house.
"What do you think is going on?" he asked Dwight.
"I don't know." Dwight said, not quite knowing how to gauge the situation. Maybe Negan was hurt? Maybe...hopefully...
Morgan noted the hurry Sasha seemed to be in and blocked her, just as she was a few feet from Deanna's porch.
"Morgan, you need to get out of my way!" Sasha said forcefully.
"And you need to tell us what's going on?" Morgan said much more quietly. "If there is something we can use to our advantage..."
"There isn't." Sasha said calmly. She just barely knew Morgan and he was not someone she was going to share anything with.
Rosita caught up with her on the porch!
"Sasha, what the hell is going on? Why are you looking for Deanna?" she asked.
"Negan wants Deanna and if I say anything else, Abraham and Rick could be in danger." Sasha said. Morgan moved aside and Sasha hurried up the steps, opened Deanna's door and slammed it behind her!
"Did you see that?!" Rosita exploded. "Something IS going on here! Something that we need to know that Sasha isn't talking about!"
"Let's find Michonne and Maggie. They were talking to Sasha earlier." Morgan suggested, then looked around.
"What?" Rosita asked impatiently.
"Carol should be in on this as well. You go find Michonne, Magge and Glenn. I'll go to Carol's house and ask her to join us." Morgan said.
Just then, Deanna hurried out of her house, followed by Sasha! They ran back to Sasha's house and the front door wa slammed. A few people glanced over at the house, then resumed whatever they were doing. Rosita stared at the house. Was she crazy for thinking that it suddenly seemed as if Sasha was in cahoots with Negan in some way?
"GET OFF OF ME!" Carol screamed, while the Governor held her down. Deanna administered a sedative and Sasha looked away as Carol's eyed focused on her before closing.
"Jesus H! Get her the fuck down below 'Guv'!" Negan snapped.
"Negan," Deanna said coolly, "we can't take her over to my house in the middle of the day. Especially unconscious. You need to get out of here with Sasha until we can find a time to do this."
Negan looked at Sasha.
"You need to go below. With Carol."
"What?!" Sasha exclaimed. "No! I'm going with you to find out for sure if Abraham and Rick are dead!"
"Okay." Deanna said. "Phillip, I am going to give you the drugs you need to keep Carol out of it. Then when night falls, I will provide some distraction so that you can get her down below. By the way...how did you get up here without being seen?"
"The truth?" the Governor asked. "No one knows who belongs around here, Deanna. I came over in broad daylight and no one said a thing. Half of Rick's group wouldn't know me anyway."
"Oh cut the shit! There's still enough people around that would shit their pants if they saw you!" Negan snapped.
There was a knock on the door! The Governor dragged Carol into a back hallway while Negan answered the door.
It was Dwight.
"Is everything alright in here? We should really get going." he said.
"I know we should fuckwad! We'll be out when we're out!" Negan said and slammed the door on him. Dwight just stood there, staring at the slammed door. He then turned and hurried down the stairs and moved past Heath.
"What's going on? What did he say?" Heath asked. But Dwight continued walking until he reached the house that Darryl was being kept in. He hurried down the stairs and approached his cell with a key and unlocked it.
"What are you doing?" Darryl asked in a gravely tone.
"There's a shitstorm brewing around here. And it won't help you to be in here." Dwight said. He threw the key into the corner and walked off. Meanwhile Darryl slipped out of his cell and followed after Dwight. What the hell was going on?
That was what Dwight wanted to know. And he suspected that it had to do with that woman named Carol. He had been the only one to see her go in-and not come back out. And if she was dead, things were going to turn apeshit around here. He could not shake the feeling that Abraham Ford and Rick Grimes were setting some kind of trap for them. And if that was the case, he and Sherry were going with the other team.
Simon saw Dwight and Darryl come out of the house and he hurried over to them!
"I know I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing here!" Simon snapped and tried to grab Darryl! But Dwight was not done.
"NEGAN KILLED CAROL! THEY'RE HIDING HER BODY IN SASHA'S HOUSE!" Dwight screamed.
Then, the trouble really began.
Morgan shot Simon and Heath in the head after hearing about Carol.
Dwight and Sherry stole a car and crashed through the gate! The noise and opportunity brought in walkers.
Glenn and Darryl broke into Sasha's house and grabbed Negan! He was dragged outside, while Denise and Tara hurried over to Carol!
"She's been drugged!" Denise exclaimed, not understanding how anyone could have thought she was dead!
Michonne ran towards Sasha's house, then stopped short.
A man with an eyepatch was running between the houses! She knew instinctively that he was someone that did not live here but...he seemed oddly familiar. Michonne began to chase after him! He ran through a backdoor at Deanna's house, then slammed and locked the door!
"HEY!" Michonne screamed, just as Jessie hurried around to meet her.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?!" Michonne repeated incredulously, the mysterious man forgotten for the moment. "Carol is dead! Negan killed her and we're about to kill him! I just chased some guy into Deanna's house that I'm pretty sure, doesn't live here!"
"You're scaring my sons, Michonne. All of you are! Now Dwight and Sherry knocked down the gate! We have to do something to fend off those things!" Jessie shrieked, just as one came around the corner! Michonne took out her katana and beheaded it, while Jessie screamed and ran off!
Rosita ran through the tunnels and opened the door that lead outside of Alexandria, to Abraham and Rick!
"What the hell happened?!" Rick yelled. "I saw two of Negan's people crash through the gate? Where are Carl and Judith? Is Michonne okay?"
"I don't know, Rick! Negan killed Carol and Morgan killed two of his men! Everyone is running wild in there!"
"Where's Sasha?" Abraham asked, looking panicked.
"I don't know. But I think she tried to cover up Carol's murder. I'm sorry, but some strange shit happened right before we all found out that Carol was killed!"
"I don't want to hear any shit from you about Sasha!" Abraham snapped. "Where's Negan?"
Eugene came running towards them, crying! Three walkers were on his tail as well. Rick shot two of them and Abraham stabbed one in the head!
"Oh thank God!" Eugene sniveled. "It's holy hell out there and...I thought you two were dead?"
"Shut up, Eugene!" Rosita snapped. "And try and grow a pair. You'll need them so we can get out of this alive."
"Is Negan locked up?" Abraham asked.
"Yeah, where Darryl was And it turns out Carol is okay." Eugene told them.
"What?" Rick, Abraham and Rosita asked in unison.
"Yes. She is not one of the undead. Apparently she was drugged by either Deanna or Negan."
"Or Sasha!" Rosita exclaimed.
"What the fuck are you talking about, girl?!" Abraham snapped. "Say what you mean or else..."
"Or else you'll what? Huh?" Rosita sneered. "I'll tell you what I mean! Sasha went against our plan then holed up in her house with Negan! That's what I mean! Something is going on between them, Abraham!"
Rick turned and ran out of the tunnel, followed by Abraham, who decided to just ignore Rosita. Rosita was about to follow when Eugene stopped her.
"What plan? You all had a plan and didn't tell me about it? Maybe none of this would've happened if you had clued me in." Eugene sniffed.
Rosita didn't have time to come up with an insulting answer. She turned and ran after Rick and Abraham. Eugene stood stock still, as he tried to piece together what was happening. He only decided to run as well, when he heard the distinct sounds of walkers coming in from the other end of the tunnel.
Negan was thrown into one of the basement cells! Darryl kicked the door shut and pointed at him!
"Carol told me what you did to Sasha, you fuck!"
"Sasha and I have chemistry." Negan said coolly. "I'm locked up in a cell, after trying to feed you ungrateful fucks, all because Sasha and I have something together?"
"What's going on?" Glenn asked, coming in to the area.
"Carol told me that Negan raped Sasha! Jesus, when Abraham finds out..."
"You raped Sasha?" Glenn asked, appalled.
"I did not ra..."
"Shut up!" Glenn yelled. "Of course you did! You look like you did!"
"What the fuck does that mean?! 'I look like I did'? Jesus H! Let me the HELL out of here or you'll be sorrier then living shit!" Negan yelled. Did Sasha tell Carol that? Damn!
Maggie hurried into the cell area!
"Carol is just drugged, for some reason! She's not dead!"
"Thank God for you." Darryl said quietly.
"Whatever. Now let me the fuck out of here!" Negan yelled.
Glenn grinned!
"You can come out, Negan. You can come out and then leave Alexandria. And the only way you can come back is if you 'prove' your worth."
"Show us that you're not a deadbeat and bring us stuff we can use." Maggie quietly jeered. "And then maybe we'll let you back in here."
Rick hurried down into the cell area, caught sight of Negan and grinned! He couldn't have planned a better outcome! Morgan took care of two of the henchmen, the other two took off-probably because they hated Negan's guts anyway...and the other people in this community would fall back in line.
Things were going back to the way they used to be.
"Let's get the walkers out of here and then get that gate repaired." Rick said and turned to hurry out. Glenn and Maggie followed after Rick as well. Darryl didn't seem to be in any hurry and he grinned at Negan, before he began to turn away.
But not before Negan had some choice words for him.
"Let me out of here or I will see to it that you all die. I guarantee it. Just ask Sasha."
Darryl turned back to stare at him. There was something about the way he said that, that made him believe him. And what did Sasha have to do with whether Negan could kill them or not?
Darryl said nothing and left, slamming the cell room door behind him loudly. Negan smiled. There were fail safes that had been put into place, in case the underground ever seemed like it was in danger of being over run. And he had no doubt, they were being put into place right now, for just this occasion.
Meanwhile, Abraham found Sasha in her house talking to Deanna. The sight of them confused Abraham, but he could not think as to why. Sasha ran into his arms and he picked her up and swung her around twice, before Deanna decided it was time to make a discreet exit.
But Abraham set Sasha down and walked over to the door to block it!
"Abraham, what are you doing?" Deanna asked calmly.
"What needs doin'." Abraham said calmly, pulling out his gun.
"Abraham, what are you doing?!" Sasha asked, shocked. But he ignored her and kept his eyes on Deanna.
"You have a reason for not telling us that you had a brother? Or that you didn't run this place? You let that fucker throw us out? Speak, woman! Speak before I blow you away!"
Deanna looked at Sasha.
"Sasha. Back him off."
"What did you say?!" Abraham snapped. "She agrees with me! We all agree that maybe your leadership isn't needed around here! Now YOU can get the fuck out of here and find us some shit that we can use! And don't come back until you've brought something!"
"This is ridiculous!" Deanna snapped and turned to walk towards the back door of the house! Abraham pointed his gun at her ass and fired! Sasha's eyes grew huge, just as Michonne and Father Gabriel hurried in!
"AAAAHHHHH!" Deanna cried out. Father Gabriel picked her up off of the floor.
"I'll take her to the infirmary." he said quietly.
"The fuck you will, Father! You take her to the jails and tell Denise to help her from there!" Abraham ordered. Michonne folded her arms.
"I'm going with him. I saw some strange man that doesn't live here, run into her house. Spencer is claiming no one else lives there but I'm not buying it." Michonne told them. She then looked at Sasha.
"What do you know about this?" she asked her quietly.
"Whoa! What the fuck are you asking, Michonne? Excuse my language!"
Sasha spoke.
"We'll talk later." she said and Michonne nodded at her before leaving. Abraham watched Michonne leave and then looked at Sasha, remembering what Rosita had said. Was there something to that?
"What's going on?" Abraham asked in a no nonsense tone.
"I just have a lot to tell you, that's all. And it's kind of weird. And because it's 'weird', I think everyone thinks I've been acting as if I was with Deanna and Negan. Let's get the walkers out of here and then we'll talk, okay?" Sasha suggested and began to walk out of the door.
But Abraham grabbed her arm, stopping her.
"I'm going to hold you to that." he said as he pulled her to him and parted her lips with his hungry mouth. He moaned deep within his throat at just the taste of her and it was Sasha that had to reluctantly break off the kiss.
"Later." she whispered and together they left the house to kill the walkers that had breached the safe zone. Sasha didn't know what she was going to tell her friends. She could say something now about the underground, couldn't she?
