Chapter 42-Kidnapping
Woodbury
Andrea walks up to the Governor's door and knocks. "Come in," She hears. She opens the door and walks in. She shuts the door and then looks at the Governor. She starts to walk towards him. "I know why you want to see me," Andrea says as she walks towards his desk.
"You were told we don't go over unless we have to," The Governor says.
"I just wanted a little practice," Andrea tells him.
"Fair enough. We don't need you on the wall," The Governor tells her.
"Okay," Andrea turns to start to leave but stops. "I liked the fights," Andrea tells him. She then turns back around. "I didn't like that I like them," Andrea tells him.
"But you did. I know," The Governor tells her.
"What? How?" Andrea asks.
"Cause you walked out. You started walking out. But you stayed. Just liked you stayed right now to tell me that," The Governor says. Andrea chuckles.
"Are you saying that I like you, too?" Andrea asks.
"I think I'm growing on you," The Governor tells her. She nods.
The Woods.
"You rose to the occasion, kid. When we get back, I'm gonna get you a beer," Sam says as he grabs his gun.
"Come on. She can't have made it that far," Neil says.
"No, no, no, We're done. We're gonna grab a car, haul ass home. It's been a good day's work," Sam tells him.
"But she killed Tim and Crowley," Neil says.
"Yes, but we messed her up pretty bad. Anyway, she's head straight for the head zone. She's as good as dead," Sam says.
"What do we tell the Governor?" Neil asks.
"What the hell you think we tell him? Tell him we killed her. Like I said, man, She's as good as dead," Sam tells him.
"I'm gonna keep going," Neil says.
"She ain't right in the head. She's gonna die. Ain't worth our time. Definitely ain't worth our blood. Now let's go," Sam says to him before he starts to walk away.
"This is some serious shit. That's what you said," Neil says. Sam stops. "I'm not gonna lie to the Governor about it," Neil says. Sam turns and looks at him.
"You're right. Can't cut corners on this one. You've come along pretty quick there, kid. How do you say your name again?" Sam asks.
"Garguilo," Neil tells him.
"Garguilo," Sam says. A bird then squawks. "Hear that bird?" Sam asks. Neil looks around. Sam grabs out his gun and shoots Neil in the head. He grabs Neil's gun and holsters in. "Garguilo," Sam says as he walks away.
The Prison
The phone rings. Travis grabs it. "Hello?" Travis says.
"You didn't want to tell him how your son died," The Woman says.
"No, I just lost him, but if that's what it takes," Travis says.
"It'd be good," The Woman says.
"You should talk about it, Travis," The Woman says.
"That sounds- How do you know my name?" Travis asks. The call then ends. Travis sets the phone down.
With Michonne
Michonne was walking by a building. She looks and sees the car before she starts to walk again. That is when she hears a car coming. The car stops, and Glenn and Maggie get out. They shut the doors. Glenn opens the back door. "Clear outside," Maggie tells him.
"All right, let's take a look," Glenn says. Glenn grabs bol cutters and opens the door. Birds come out. They walk inside,
"Glenn get that duck," Maggie says.
"What?" Glenn asks.
"Get that duck," Maggie tells him.
"Are you serious?" Glenn asks.
"Yeah, A kid growing up in a prison could use some toys," Maggie says.
Woodbury
Andrea and The Governor were outside. "You were the kind of guy who waxed his car every weekend, right?" Andrea asks.
"No, I wasn't particularly proud of my car or my house or my job," The Governor says as he pours them drinks. "My dog was a wonder of stupidity. Lost a fight with a tree once," The Governor tells Andrea.
"You did this. I find it hard to believe that you didn't have a single thing that you were proud of before," Andrea says.
"I didn't say that. I had something," The Governor takes a drink. "So how long has it been? Since you had whiskey this good?" The Governor asks.
"So long, I can't remember," Andrea says.
"Well, I'm happy to forget a lot. Not just the bad stuff," The Governor says.
"Even the good times?" Andrea asks.
"I want to be here. Right now. This glass in my hand leaves in the breeze talking to you," The Governor says.
"I feel special. An audience with the Governor," Andrea says as she stands up.
"Let's just go with Philip, huh? I'm off the clock," The Governor says.
"Oh, Philip. That's better. Makes me feel less like a lobbyist," Andrea says.
"You don't have to be ashamed about liking the fight or fighting the fight. I love it. It's not the only thing, but nowadays, it's part of being alive. Really alive. Most people don't have it, what it takes to see the whole story. Being able to live with it to use it. That's why there's a hell of a lot more of them than us," The Governor says.
"Us?" Andrea asks.
"Yeah. 'Cause you have it, Andrea. You made it. So enjoy it. Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die," The Governor says as he stands. He grabs the bottle.
"I'm not planning on dying," Andrea says as he pours her a drink.
"No, neither am I. It just happens," The Governor says.
"Other things happen," Andrea says as she looks at the Governor. The Governor kisses her. He grabs the glass and sets it down.
With Glenn and Maggie
We just hit the powdered formula jackpot," Glenn says.
"Lori will be happy," Maggie says.
"I also got beans batteries, cocktail wieners, many mustards. It's a straight shot back to the prison from here. Probably make it in time for dinner," Glenn says as he puts the supplies in the car.
"I like the quiet. Back there back home, you can always hear them outside the fence no matter where you are," Maggie says Glenn looks at him.
"And where is it y'all good people are calling?" Sam asks with his gun raised Maggie and Glenn raise their guns and look at the man.
"Sam?" Glenn asks Sam laughs before he puts his gun down.
"Wow!" Sam starts to come closer.
"Stop now, Sam," Maggie says.
"You made it," Glenn says.
"Can you tell me, is my brother still alive?" Merle asks.
"Yeah, so are Adam and Bobby," Glenn tells him.
"Adam and Bobby too. Can you take me to them? I'll call it even on everything that happened on the farm," Sam says.
"That was an accident," Maggie says. Glenn looks at Sam's hand.
"You like that? Somebody made this for me. Pretty cool, huh?" Sam asks.
"We'll tell Bobby Adam and Dean that you are here, and they'll come out and meet you," Glenn tells him.
"Hold on. Just hold up," Sam says.
"Whoa. Whoa," Glenn says.
"Hey, the fact that we found each other is a miracle. Come on now. You can trust me," Sam says.
"You trust us. You stay here," Glenn says. Sam laughs. Sam then pulls out his gun and shoots, hitting the back window. Glenn comes around the car to see Sam holding. Maggie, with his gun to her head.
"Hey hold up buddy hold up," Sam says
"Let go of her. Let go of her!" Sam yells.
"Put the gun in the car right now. Put it in the car Glenn," Sam says. Glenn puts the gun in the car and puts his hands up.
"There you go. Now we're gonna go for a little drive," Sam says.
"We're not going back to our camp," Glenn says.
"No, We're going somewhere else. Get in the car Glenn! You're driving!" Sam yells. Glenn nods as he shuts the back door and gets in. He drives the car leaving the baby formula.
The Prison
Merle Carl Oscar and Morgan were still in the tunnels. Shane had left to go look for the others.
"Oh, that's what I'm talking about," Oscar says as he goes in a cell the other three look at him. Oscar grabs a pair of slippers.
"What the hell you need slippers for?" Merle asks.
"You know end of the day, relaxing," Oscar says. Merle smiles. They then hear a walker. Merle turns around and shoots it in the head with his crossbow.
Morgan looks at the walker. "Must have been at the cell at the end," Oscar says. Morgan bends down and pulls a knife out of the walker's neck. "We've checked everywhere else," Oscar says.
"That's Carol's knife," Morgan says. He wipes it on the walker.
The phone rings, and Travis looks at it. Travis walks up and grabs the phone. "How did you know my name?" Travis asks.
"Because we know you," The man says.
"How do you know me?" Travis asks.
"And you know them, Travis? The people you were talking to today, that was Liza John Jacqui," The man says.
"Chris?" Travis says. Travis sits down.
"What happened, dad. Dad, what happened?" Chris asks.
"I love you. I couldn't protect you. I made a deal with myself. I would keep you alive. I would find a place and let you live. I was gonna keep you alive. Alicia Nick Madison, and then I thought there would be time. There's never time. I love you. I couldn't protect you. It should have been me out there, not you. I should have let them away. I should be dead," Travis says
"Dad. Now you listen to me. You have a fiance and two soon to be step kids. And everybody else. I love you, dad. You need to live now. Can you do that?" Chris asks. "Dad? Dad?" Chris says. Travis sets the phone down.
Woodbury.
Sam knocks on the Governor's door and waits. The Governor opens the door. "Company?" Sam asks. The Governor steps outside and shuts the door.
"Yeah," The Governor tells him.
"We lost all three guys. Tim Crowley, the other one," Sam says.
"Garguilo," The Governor says. "Jesus," The Governor says.
"Yeah, she cut Tim down, put her sword through him. Then bitters got in the middle of it. Then I got her," Sam tells him.
"Damn. Well, we'll dress it up. Give 'em a hero's funeral. You tell a story. A supple run gone sideways. Do you have 'em? Her head the sword," The Governor says.
"We got caught in a crowd. The kid had the head. Crowley had the sword. They both got all tore up. I got something else for you, though. A guy I used to know from the farm and his pretty little girlfriend," Sam tells him.
"They know Andrea?" The Governor asks. Sam nods. "Anyone else?" The Governor asks.
"Don't know. Found them on the return trip. From the looks of 'em, they got to be set up pretty good. I'll find out where," Sam tells her before he leaves.
The prison.
Everybody was resting beside Morgan, who was still in the tunnels. Travis opens the gate. Madison looks up at him. Travis walks over to her. Madison gets up and hugs her. Daryl smiles.
Morgan was sitting by the door with the walker in front of it as the door kept being pushed. He stabbed Carol's knife in the ground. He gets up and kicks the door. He walks over to the walker and moves it. He opens the door with the knife raised and sees Carol, who looks at him. Morgan picks her up and starts to walk. Daryl Alicia Shane Merle Travis Hershel Lori Jim T-dog and Dean walk outside. Lori had the baby. Daryl Shane T-dog Alicia and Jim walk down to the fence. Daryl grabs his gun. He stops by the fence, all of them looking at Michonne, who was carrying the baby formula.
Thanks for reading. Next is the start of when the dead come walking. I have been trying to use other characters. If there is someone you want to see more or less, please tell me. I really like writing Jim and T-dog. Thanks for reading. I hope to see some reviews or comments. Until next time
