All Nightmare Long
Chapter 457
Author's Note: I went and saw Black Panther yesterday, finally. Awesome movie and awesome job by Michonne. I hope she doesn't leave Walking Dead, though her relationship with Rick is a problem for my story but I am working through that. Though I am still going to have her their with Rick and Jewel when Carl gets bit. Please review.
Group POV:
Rick and the group walked out of the building, into the sun light, everyone holding out there weapons, ready to be on guard and spreading out. Glenn and Summer walked over to the truck that Heath, Quinn and Tara were going to be leaving in.
"Hey you just want to come back with us? Take a couple days before you, Quinn and Tara go out again?" Glenn questioned.
"No man, I just want to get out of here," Heath answered.
"Are you going to be able to handle it out there?" Summer asked.
"What? I've been out there before," Heath responded.
"You've never went out there after doing something like this. You've never done anything like this, it can mess with you, and it will. It will mess with you," Summer told him.
"Well no offence but you haven't ever done anything like this before either, so you don't know how it's going to affect you," Heath said.
"Hey, just calm down alright?" Glenn told Heath. "She is just concerned about you, about you all. She wants you to make it home," he told her as Summer went over to Tara and Quinn.
"You guys take care of each other, make it home alright? You got Denise," Summer said to Tara. "And you have Gus, the girls and Spenser. And Heath has his mom and aunt."
"You're worried about him?" Quinn and wait a couple days
"I'm worried about all of you. If it was me, I'd go back to Alexandria after this, take a few days. This was bad, worse then I think anyone could imagine," Summer said.
"We'll watch out for each other," Tara said as she hugged her, then hugged Glenn.
"Come back safe," Glenn told them as he hugged Quinn.
"We will," Quinn assured them as she got into the truck with Tara and Heath and drove off.
Summer sighed as she looked at Joey and walked over to him. "I wanted to go inside, check if Negan is in there, make sure, but Glenn said to wait, talk it over with dad."
"He's right, we need to talk it over with Rick. You shouldn't be in there alone," Joey said as he turned at a sound. "Is that a motorcycle?" he questioned.
"Son of a bitch!" Daryl responded as as he ran after the man. Joey and Rosita both raised there guns and fired at the motorcycle causing it to fall. Daryl ran over to the man. "Where'd you get the bike huh?"
The man looked up at them. "Just do it, like you did everyone else right?" the ma asked.
"We know what you are capable of," Summer said.
"You think you are any better than us? You just killed everyone in there," the man said.
Jes stood by the building and nodded toward Zihayr as she backed into the building. "You know what Negan looks like right?"
"It's hard to forget the man who batches your sons head in with a baseball bat," Zihayr answered.
"So that's a yes. That man out there isn't Negan then," Jes answered.
"No, I haven't seen him before," the English man answered.
"Did Gregory tell us everything about Negan and his saviors?" Jes asked.
"I have no idea what he told you, I really don't care what he has to say. I've been hid inside my trailer behind a bottle, just like you found me," Zihayr answered. "I've barley stepped outside of that trailer.I don't think Gregory noticed, he doesn't really pay attention to his people," he answered.
Jes raised her hand as she heard an unfamiliar voice and made sure they were both out of way so they were inside the building.
"Lower your gun prick, you with the cold python. All of you lower your weapons right now," the woman's voice said as it came through the walkie talkie.
Rick bent down and got the walkie talkie. "Come on out. Let's talk, we're not coming out, but we will talk," he informed them.
"We've got a Carol, a Mar and a Maggie, I'm thinking that's something you want to chat about," the woman answered.
Rick, Glenn and Daryl exchanged glances as Summer and Joey took a step back spreading out.
"How many we got?" the third woman asked the first.
"Ten in sight, too many," the woman answered.
"We can take them, we've took more," the injured man said.
The woman raised the walkie talkie. "We're going to work this out right now, and it's going to go our way," she said into the walkie talkie.
Rick nods at Daryl and Glenn as they grab the injured man off the ground. "We have one of yours, we'll trade," Rick answered.
"I'm listening," the woman answered. "And tell blondie and young stud to stop moving out of our sight. If they don't, I'm going to put a bullet in one of your friends' head," the woman answered.
Rick nodded at them to stop moving. "I want to talk to Maggie, Carol and Mar, make sure they're all right," he said.
The woman went over to them. "I'm going to put you on. You say you're fine, I'll know if you try anything else," she said.
"Rick it's Carol," she said in a frail scared voice. "I'm fine but," she said as she gets pulled back.
"You," the woman said holding up the walkie talkie to Mar.
"Rick it's Mar, we're alright, honestly, don't," she said as she was pulled back.
"It's your turn," she said to Maggie.
"rick it's Maggie, we all ok. We'll figure this out," Maggie said.
"Shut up, you have your proof. Let's talk," the woman said.
"Alright this is the deal, right here. Let them go and you can have your guy back and live," he answered.
"Three for one, that's not much of a trade,"the woman told Rick.
"You don't have another choice or you would have done something about it already," Rick told her.
"We have to get him back," the man with the women said.
"Primo can take care of himself," the woman answered. He can patch me up. I need him thanks to that bitch. You lost your balls Paula, you should have shot her in the head so they could have heard her die," the man said.
"You don't want to hurt any of us," Mar said.
The bigger woman hit her in the back. "Next thing you say, I'll kill you," she told Mar holding the gun to her head.
"If you all could just shut up, I'll solve this," Paula said.
"You make the deal or we go in," the man told Paula.
"She said shut up, so shut it. You should be glad she didn't have a second set of gonads o trip over," the older woman said.
"Look I know you're talking it over. It's a fair trade, come out, we do this, we all walk away," Rick told them through the radio.
"Smug prick. He must think we're stupid," the second woman said.
"That's a good thing," Paula answered.
Mar, Maggie and Carol exchanged looks as they listened to them talk.
"Do we have a deal?"Rick asked.
"We'll get back to you,"the woman said as the second woman pulled Maggie's jacket over her head then Mar's then Carol's as the other's fight walkers.
The group:Glenn looked at Rick. "Now what?" he asked.
"We'll get them back," Rick answered.
"They can't be that far away if they can see us," Sasha said.
"And if they aren't making the deal, then they got back up," Summer said.
Jes whistled from the building as she stayed out of the way. She waited for Rick to come over. "I heard. How do you want to play this?"
"They obviously have more people then we thought," Rick answered.
"That means we need to make sure Negan was in this building," Summer said.
Jes nodded. "She's right, that's why I came in here with Zihayr. You can bet they are going to move, have a second location, maybe have backup, it's what I would do. If they didn't make the deal, then they've got back up otherwise they would have taken the deal," she reasoned.
"We're going to follow them, leave some people off the road, catch anyone who they are waiting for. We'll get them back," Daryl said.
"I'll stay back here, with Zihayr, Summer, Joey, Emily and Aaron. We need to gather all the weapons, clear out anything else we can find. We'll find another radio, keep in touch. I'll find a channel they aren't on," Jes said. "We started this, we finish it."
"We'll leave a truck," Rick said. "We don't want them to hear us," he said.
"They won't," Jes said. Go get our people back," she said.
Rick nodded as he went over to Summer. "You OK with staying back?"
"More than alright. You'll get them back," Summer said confidentally.
"We will,"Rick said as he kissed the top of her head. "Love you."
"Love you too Dad," Summer said.
Author's note: This chapter was a pain and half to write. I must have started it three times. Please review.
