Presley coughs out holding her chest and hears a voice.
"not dead?"
She glances up at Konnor and she shakes her head getting to her knees. She undoes her shirt looking down at the bulletproof vest and takes a deep breath.
"he was spot on, he knew Negan would want me killed..."
She groans out in pain and Konnor helps her up whispering.
"we have a long hike, hows your ribs?"
She shakes her head holding on to Konnor.
"Broken he didn't miss a single shot-"
Konnor shrugs his shoulders laughing.
"it's Mason every bullet counts"
Konnor helps Presley to the road and they begin walking slowly but they both stop hearing voices.
"stop right there..."
Konnor freezes in place feeling a gun placed to the back of his head and hears a voice.
"I want everything, your bags and weapons, now..."
Konnor glances to Presley and shakes his head whispering.
"whatever you want.."
Presley glances back at the grounp of three men and closes her eyes hearing a man come up to her. He runs his hands through her hair.
"well this isn't something you see every day? Tell me something sweetheart, how old are you?"
The man whispers into her ear and she glances to Konnor, smiles and turns around facing the older guy. She slowly runs her hand on his arm smiling.
"well, I don't know if you could keep up with me..."
The man licks his lips and laughs out.
"so who's your friend sweetheart?"
The guy motions to Konnor and she glances to her left waving her hand.
"we just met a few days back he's good at protecting me but..."
She runs her hand down the mans arm and pushes her lips to his ears.
"i always feel like the more numbers the more I'm protected. A strong guy like you.."
She runs her hand up to his neck and pulls him in for a kiss. Konnor grins to himself as he slowly pulls out a knife and backs up into the guy behind him. He jams his knife into the guys neck and grips the his gun pointing it towards the third man. The third guy smiles at Konnor and shoots Konnor. Konnor stares down at his wound gripping it and coughs out. Presley glances to him and takes the knife out of the mans neck she had placed it in. Konnor clicks the gun's trigger and whispers to himself.
"empty?"
He falls back, but hears the man screams and hears a unfamiliar male voice.
"he's losing blood fast, we need to get him out of here, now!"
He blinks looking up and sees a man and a woman hovering over him. He breaths out gripping the bullet wound and hears Presley's voice.
"Konnor, hold on these people said they will help, just hold on..."
He looks up at the sky and whispers as he passes out.
"what people?"
He blinks and looks around hearing a woman's voice.
"so your awake? You had a pretty nasty bullet wound. Your real lucky I was able to fish it out of you."
Konnor tries to sit up but the woman pushes him back down into the bed.
"you ain't going anywhere anytime soon you need time to heal."
Konnor places his leg back up on the bed and the woman nods to him.
"my name is Maggie and you are?"
Konnor breaths out and grins towards the woman lying.
"Name is Sam..."
Maggie nods her head.
"well your friend she was pretty banged up too. She was lucky she was wearing a vest looks like she took a few shots to the ribs. I wrapped them up for her but she is on bed rest with a lot of ice..."
Maggie comes up to the bed and offers Konnor some water and she nods down at the glass.
"Sam was it?"
Konnor nods his head taking the water. He sniffs it and then holds it in his hand as he eyes Maggie refusing to drink it.
"your very kind miss?"
Maggie nods her head.
"just Maggie, call me Maggie.."
Konnor nods his head staring around the room examining his surroundings taking a mental note of what he can use as a weapon if need be.
"i'm sorry I don't even know where we are right now miss?"
She nods her head and pours out some pills offering one to Konnor.
"go ahead its for the pain.."
He shakes his head declining.
"no, you keep that for your own people I can handle a bit of pain.."
Maggie places the pill in Konnor's hand and motions to it.
"just in case you should know i fished out two bullets, two, your lucky you lived."
Konnor nods his head agreeing and glances around the place.
"i am sorry to ask but where are we right now?"
Maggie nods her head.
"a place called Alexandria, it's safe here."
Konnor looks down at the water and back at Maggie and smiles.
"you know it seems real safe here. me and her we have been out there for a long time. I don't know if its possible but you seem like a good person. if you all want any extra help or need anything I don't have much besides my two hands and a pretty good shot. Sarah isn't much with weapons but shes smart. me and her, we need time to heal then of course we wont be a bother to you all we will be on our way. Until then though if you need any help just ask us..."
Maggie nods her head understanding.
"that won't be necessary neither of you are moving for a long time"
Konnor nods his head understanding and asks nicely.
"is, is it possible I can at least be near her we have been traveling for a long time-"
Maggie cuts him off and asks.
"you know i noticed something treating both you if you don't mind me asking?"
she turns to Konnor and points at his wrist.
"You both have burns on your wrists, the numbers on your and her arms, they match."
Konnor looks down nodding.
"we use to belong to a community. The wedding ceremonies, we didn't have rings. it was pretty stupid honestly burning a number into your flesh some people died of infection. Sarah, she got a fever on our wedding night, she almost died."
Maggie cuts him off looking off as if remembering something.
"people do stupid things for love"
Konnor laughs agreeing.
"yes, they do"
Konnor looks down at the number and asks.
"please, can I be moved to see my wife?"
Maggie nods her head towards Konnor.
"rick wanted to talk to each of you first. you have to understand we can't just trust anyone-"
Konnor cuts her off acting dumb.
"rick? who is rick?"
Maggie walks over to him nodding her head.
"he's our leader he will be asking you some questions just to be sure. there are some bad people out here, people who want to hurt this community-"
Konnor looks down at his wrist and frowns.
"if i can help at all I will, Sarah too, we are good people, we don't want trouble, we just want a safe place."
Maggie eyes over Konnor and smiles.
"rick will judge that-"
