"All right everyone. I took a nap and I'm recharged. Michonne has briefed me on what's been done and I've got to commend you all for your hard work. Sadly enough, this is only the beginning. We're not ever going to be as laid back as we were before. I can't do this on my own and I welcome any ideas that you might have. You don't need to voice them now, but whatever ideas you have about what I have to say, I'll need you to write it down.

"Here are some things I want you all to think of. We're going to need to do something about any obstruction that lies around the walls, inside and out. We don't want another clocktower incident. Inside isn't so much of a problem but the outside will be. We're also going to need to develop a plan to draw the rest of the walkers away from town. We need our tired friends to be able to get in without too much trouble. We'll need to find a more permanent solution for the breach. We'll also need to come up with plans for food and water. Last subject on my mind is getting you all prepared to fight. There will come a time where you will need to fight.

"Pick a subject to think about, and we'll discuss it in our meeting tonight. In the meantime, I'm going to need a lot of you to rest because we're going to start up a watch. We'll have cars parked along each wall so that you can honk the horn to let us know something is coming. Eugene and Michonne can you take care of that? For right now I'll need volunteers for the first watch. I'll take the side of the breach, but I'll need someone to join me." Fox raised her hand. Rick didn't like the idea of being alone with a wolf, but it would be good to know more about Eliza's group. "All right. Now I'll need a set to take up the north wall." Only the usual people volunteered: Aaron, Heath, Spencer, but surprisingly Father Gabriel. "All right, I'll need the watch to go ahead and go to your stations. I'll also need to get volunteers for the second watch." Everyone looked around sheepishly. "Hey… I need you all to look at one another. This is all we've got. We're all going to need to step up to the plate. It's scary at first, but you'll eventually get used to it. We've got our injured so they obviously won't be able to take up the watch."

Nicholas raised his hand.

"Put your hand down Nicholas," Rick said trying to fight back his frustration.

Nicholas looked at his neighbors angrily. "Do you know how much they do for us? That tower was going to come down eventually and what would've happened if Rick and his group weren't here to help us?" Everyone looked down guiltily. "Raise your hands… Raise your hands!"

Everyone looked to see that the gentle giant was no longer the man that they had recognized. His face was red and grim. One by one hands were raised. Grim smiled with satisfaction. "Nicholas, you did good work," Rick muttered. "Can you organize them? I'm going to go meet up with Rosita."

Nicholas nodded looking a little shocked by his influence.

Fox was waiting for Rick. "Didn't think it was going to be so easy for you to find more volunteers."

"… Yeah… So how about we get to know each other."

"I hope that wasn't a come on," Fox said sounding a little annoyed.

Rick raised his eyebrow. "No. Just need to see if I can trust you. I just want to hear about your history."

Fox stared into the woods for a little bit. "My sister and I were on a trip together. I wanted to do something with her before I moved to Seattle. I'm glad it happened when it did. It would've been nuts for me to not know how my family was doing. We didn't get very far before I found out what happened to my parents. So we drove. We panicked and didn't think about staying somewhere where we were familiar. It would've been good to be able to have escape routes and safe houses. We joined a couple of groups. Some of them were too violent for us and some of them were taken over quickly because they were too nice and trusting. My sister was a martial arts nut so we got out of a lot of scrapes because of her skills. She even trained me. I'm still nowhere as good as she is.

After our last group fell we were on the run. My sister got caught in a trap and I went to go look for something soft for her to land on. That's when I met Gray…" Her eyes stared deeply into the forest. "I had convinced him that my sister and I would be more beneficial to his group by being trainers for young and new recruits."

"He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would want trainers. The way Morgan put it, it was all survival of the fittest."

"Foxes aren't exactly part of the wolf family."

"… Oh…"

"I'd rather you not talk about it with anyone else. I'm sure everyone knows about it, but I think it's out of respect to my feelings that no one talks about it in front of me. I never liked it, but if it meant a somewhat safe harbor and protecting lives of people who would've died otherwise… I think I've convinced myself that I did the right thing. I might have gotten rabies from it, but there isn't a doctor to check me."

"Yeah… I kind of killed him."

Fox looked at Rick in surprise.

"He wasn't a nice guy. He also killed someone very important to our group."

There was some silence. "Eliza trusts you a lot. I'm not sure if I can trust the people you are leading though."

"They've been living the old life up until my group showed up… Well we kind of gave them a taste of it until your people showed up."

"They probably know about their mistake by now. Our camp was attacked when they left. We showed up a lot sooner than we were planning to because of the attack…" Fox made Rick duck. "Someone is coming."
