All Nightmare Long

Chapter 485

Author's Note: It's getting closer now. I was wondering about how to do the conversation with Abraham and Rick conversation but then I realized hey Rick 'adopted' Summer and Abraham will be kind of like a 'father' or 'big brother' to Lexi. So yay! Of course they don't know what's going on. Then I found the CUTEST picture of a baby so was giggling and I was like HOPE! Need a few good times before the impending doom of season 7. Plus, we need to check on Jes, you know she is going to be ticked. Please review.

Abraham, Rick and Jewel's POV:

Rick and Jewel got out of the car as Abraham closed the gate. "Did Jes bring Summer back?"Jewel questioned anxiously.

"No, not yet," Abraham answered.

"Morgan stayed out looking for Carol," Rick explained. "Daryl? Glenn? Michonne?"

"They're still out there, too," Abraham answered.

Jewel sighed. "I'm going to go check on everyone,"she told Rick as she squeezed his hand.

Rick nodded and kissed her. "I'll stay out here with Abraham and wait, they'll be back."

Jewel knew that he was trying to reassure her, and gave a small smile. "I'll see you later Abraham."

Abraham nodded as she walked away. "Were you afraid?" he asked as Rick tilted his head slightly. "To go back to it? Let somebody close?"

"Yeah,"Rick answered.

"Was it hard to take on another kid? One that wasn't related to you?" Abraham questioned.

Rick shook his head. "Never even gave it a second thought. Summer is mine. Just like Mika and Judith are. Living for Summer, Carl, Mika, Judith, and Hope, that's why I fight, take out men like Negan. Come for them before they come for us. But sometimes, you just have to fight harder."

Abraham nodded. "I'm scared too. But, now I think I'm that much more ready to tear the world a brand new asshole."

"But it's just not Sasha that's involved," Rick pointed out.

Abraham nodded. "Can't pull the wool over your eyes, huh?" he asked with a laugh.

"No, not really," Rick agreed as he looked out the gate.

"Any advice on how to win over a teenage girl?" Abraham asked.

Rick laughed. "You're starting ahead of me. You already know Lexi, already have a bond with her, like you do with Sasha. I met Summer when I met Jewel, at the beginning. I think that's why I'm still here, besides that type of love. Jewel knows that if something happens to her, I'll be there for Summer, just like I know she would be for Carl."

Abraham nodded as he looked out the gate. "Any second now, yeah, any second," he said.

Jewel's POV:

Jewel walked up to the house and gave a small smile as she heard Judith laughing, Carl and Mika joining in. She stood there for a moment before hearing Hope give a small giggle. Jewel walked in and went to the living room. "What's going on here?" she asked with a smile.

"Mama," Judith said as she played with the blocks.

"Hey, baby girl," Jewel said as she picked her up.

"Did you bring Carol back?" Carl questioned.

"No Morgan is out looking for her, Jenny is going to be staying with us for a bit," Jewel explained. She reached out and touched Hope's face. "Hi baby girl. Everything going ok here?" she questioned, mostly to Carl.

"It's been quiet," Carl answered. "Axel and Gus is on guard duty at the far end. Lexi is helping Sasha with something," he explained. "Summer isn't back yet."

"Abraham told us when we came in. We found the car Carol took, it looked like she had a run in with the savior's. They were close," Jewel told Mika and Carl. "I'm not telling you this to scare either one of you, I'm telling you because you need to be prepared. And that means we may have to help people, they are getting better but not 100%."

Both of them nodded. "We can handle it," Mika said.

"We can," Jewel said.

"Where's dad?" Carl asked.

"Out by the gate with Abraham," Jewel said. "You can go see him," she said.

Carl nodded as he got up to go out.

"Let's put these two for naps and you can go hang out with Mitch," Jewel said with a small smile.

Mika nodded as she stood up picking up Hope.

Summer and Joey's POV:

Joey gently nudged Summer's leg with his foot in the back of the van they were in. "Hey stay awake," he ordered.

"I'm awake, I'm trying to hear what they are saying," Summer informed him.

"Come on up here," Joey said as nodding toward the spot beside him. "How's your hand?"

Summer sighed as she moved beside him and leaned against him. "I'll be OK. I'm sorry about David," Summer told him.

"Not your fault, it's that maniacs. Hey look at me,"Joey told her.

Summer sat up and looked at him. "What?"

"If you get a chance to run, do it, don't worry about me," Joey told her.

"What? No way!" Summer exclaimed.

Joey leaned forward and kissed her. "Summer, I'm serious."

"And so am I," Summer informed him as tears came to her eyes. "I'm not leaving you, it's not going to happen. I will fight them to stay with you. We do this like we always do. Together."

"Summer they are looking for the rest of us, they have all the roads surrounded. I don't know what they have planned, but it's not going to be good. Hell he stabbed you for lying. Lying," Joey told her.

"We do it together, Joey. We face it together," Summer told him. "Say it," she begged.

"Together, princess," Joey said as he kissed her.

Daryl, Rosita, Glenn, Michonne, and Beth's POV:

Beth's eyes got big as she saw Daryl and Rosita from the trees. She glanced at Glenn and Michonne. She stomped her feet , trying to get Daryl's and Rosita's attention. Glenn shook is head at them as he saw Dwight come up behind him. Rosita glanced behind her, as a man took his her gun.

Dwight pointed his gun at Daryl and shot him. "You'll be alright."

Beth screamed through the gag as she watched him get shot.

"Get up," Dwight ordered to Daryl. Dwight sighed, nodding to the other men and they pointed guns at the others' heads. "You get up or you watch your friends die. Your choice," he simply said.

Daryl glared at him as he got up and Dwight took his weapons. "You're all meeting the big man, tonight. I wish I could say it was going to be a good meeting, but it won't be, but it'll be memorable, that's for sure."

Jes POV:

Garza let himself through the door to the main building of Arlington with Jes over is shoulder. "Get me a pair of cuffs and a chair. When she wakes up she's going to be pissed I really don't think any of us want to face her wrath if she's not restrained."

"Is she bit?" Wolf asked.

"No," Garza answered as he sat her down and cuffed one of her hands to the chair. "We need to get sniper's on the roof, put the dog's around."

"What the hell is going on, Garza? Why is she back? And why are you handcuffing her to a chair?" Shaw questioned.

"We found the two kids she was with, they were surrounded by these Savior's. She wanted to go in, guns blazing. She would have died, one of them, maybe both I punched her, she woke up one time on the way back, hit her again, so she's going to be pissed," Garza explained.

"So you brought her back here? How could you be so stupid?" Shaw asked.

"What did you want me to do? Just leave her out there?" Garza asked.

"Yes, that's exactly what I expect you to do. I have no loyalty to her, but I do to all these people. What if someone followed you?" Shaw yelled at him.

"Hey, just calm down alright Shaw?" Harris told him. "Let's get the sniper's on the roof, get the dog's out, do extra patrols. It isn't the first time we've had to be on alert, and it won't be the last," he told him keeping his hand on Shaw's chest.

"She's waking up," Chloe warned.

"Take care of this, get her out of here," Shaw warned as he motioned to the group.

Garza bent down in front of the chair. "Hey, I need you to stay calm alright?"

Jes glared at him. "You better run, Garza because I am going to kill you."

"Look, you brought me a long with you so you wouldn't be facing this aloe. I did what I needed to do to keep you alive, and then we can regroup," Garza told her.

"That wasn't your choice to make," Jes hissed.

"It was when it was my ass on the line too," Garza said.

"I swear to God that if one of them is hurt, I am going to hurt you," Jes hissed. "Let me go," she told him.

"Jes just calm down," Garza told her.

"Don't tell me to calm down, alright. This isn't your family, it's mine," Jes told him.

Garza sighed as he went to unhandcuffed her. "We need a plan."

"Whatever plan I come up with isn't going to include you," Jes hissed. "Give me my weapons."
