(before i start this chapter up, i want to give a shot out to Skies192 and speedy964 for following and liking this story :)) thanks guys!)
Having no choice, hayley went ahead and walked out through the back once everything was calm from the outside considering hayley and rick's little bickering did cause some people from the outside to check things out and luckily, no one came in. they continued using the back of the town. Just in case something else might happen like merle popping up randomly or worse...the governor.
the building, where the small group was heading at, was down at an alley, away from the town and houses. honestly the most perfect place to keep things hidden if wanted plus, it was horrible looking hence why the governor probably kept things hidden for that reason as well.
Unlocking the door with her blade, she waited for the two to get inside, hurry up! She thought as she crossed her arms across her chest. Seeing the look she got from rick, she knew she had to lead them still so she did considering she didn't have much of a choice now. but it didnt take long to hear merle's thick accent when they got close.
She got them to their people, her job has been done. Now how do they plan on getting them out, she will just have to wait and see.
"You gotta plan?" daryl voiced lowly, crossbow held firmly in his palm, poised and ready for attack if need be it. He flinched as he heard the sound of knuckles meeting flesh, followed by a pained grunt. Hayley. looked over at daryl and softly sighed yeah easy for you to say she thought. how the heck is she supposed to know about coming up with plans? she isn't a genius or something.
shrugging a shoulder, the brunette picked up a rock from the ground and held it in her hands for a while and looking over at the room, peaking her head inside and scrunching her nose up when she saw glenn. poor guy she thought as she was Listening onto merle's conversation, she never got the way merle talked. Made no sense at times to her.
"We need to get in and get out of here fast, somethin' don't feel right." daryl said, once an idea popped into her head, hayley bit her bottom lip better then nothing she thought to herself.
"just throw a smoke grenade" she whispered and looked back at the cop and redneck and noticed perfectly that the two men weren't too found of that idea, considering daryl's face hardened at that mention, it was that or nothing else which in her opinion is better then anything.
Pulling out her pistol, she shot at the light bulb and holding her breath in as she heard a boisterous curse slip from someone's mouth, words raspy and uneven, uncontrolled. none other then merle. letting out her breath that she was holding in and leaned back out and shot one of the guys in the shoulder. she knew she will have a scolding from rick but that's all she could come up with, and luckily they went along since rick threw one of the grenades which made her wonder how they got them
but either way, she went and grabbed glenn and Maggie's arm "i'll explain later" she told them as they all left, well Hayley not at first, she wanted to show merle that she's still alive and well after what he did to her. smirking, she turned over with her hand slightly waving at the one hand man "missed me?" the look on merle's face was priceless, such a picture perfect memory but she didn't have time to do anything and ran out before she was shot or worse.
In just a matter of seconds all hell broke loose after that. The shooting wouldn't stop, and there was smoke everywhere. People were yelling at each other and shouting orders, but Rick's group just kept moving. They made their way through a window they had found considering if they went out the front door they would be screwed more then needed. zigzagging their way as far away from the shooting as possible.
Now that they were away from the smoke they could actually take a good look at Glenn and Maggie, considering that the korean looked horrible...really horrible. It looked like he had been beat up, and he was not wearing a shirt because he had given it to Maggie. There was no blood on her luckily but the thought of what the governor did to her was haunting hayley's mind and the thoughts she had weren't so good.
but she felt her stomach churn at the sight of glenn. Merle tortured him good and I do mean good, she's shocked that he is still alive. She doesn't want to go through his pain at all. she glanced over at maggie and gently pinched her arm "you ok?" she softly asked as maggie nodded her head "y-yeah i'm fine just take a look at him" she said, of course they needed to look at glenn. he looked horrible!
Rick hushed them angrily, considering that they were still out in the open "Inside! Quick!" Rick hissed and with that, hayley opened the door as both rick and maggie helped glenn inside.
When they got inside they could see that Glenn was sitting on the ground with Maggie right next to him. while daryl went out to the back to check if they can go out through there but came back with his head shaking "Ain't no way out back here" he muttered. You call this smart?" Rick looked at Hayley, no doubt about it that he's peed off.
she calmly took a deep breath "oh im sorry for thinking, I was just doing something while you were doing nothing" she snapped at him before running her fingers through her hair "we just need to pass through again" "pass through?" "With a few shooting here and there, look I got you this far enough so I think I can get you out again alright?" she told him as she looked out the window and bit her bottom lip.
Soon the whole army of gun men were out, she saw Martinez and merle of course, no sight of the governor yet so maybe that's a good thing right? "Rick, how did you find us?" the dark haird heard Maggie ask and turned around again, watching rick approach her and her boyfriend "How bad is he hurt?" "I'll be alright" Glenn answered as hayley couldn't help but snort sure you will buddy
"Looks like his rib could be broken or sprained." rick said softly before glenn spoke up "Daryl, this was Merle." hayley turned her head to the direction of the redneck who's face was just read shock. of course she wasn't shocked that this had happened to glenn considering she even told them beforehand but daryl? the guy who was separated from his brother back at Atalanta? now that's a different story.
"It was. He did this" Glenn went on as daryl just looked at him in shock. "You saw him?" the hunter asked and Glenn nodded. "Face to face. He threw a walker at me. He was gonna execute us." classic merle she thought to herself. nothing was new to her considering she was in that room not once herself and was tortured but she couldn't help but look at daryl, he was just taken aback from everything that was just coming out. like someone just ran him over with a truck and honestly? hayley couldn't help but feel bad for the guy, she wouldn't know how she would feel if she heard if her mom was alive when she was told she was dead.
"S..so my brother's this governor?" Daryl stammered in disbelief but hayley shook her head as she chuckled, causing everyone to look at her "heck no, granted your brother's a tough son of b...|tch but no...he isn't capable of being the governor. merle's just his wingman or something" she said, assuring the redneck who just nodded his head "Does he know I'm still with you?" daryl asked, Maggie nodded and so did Glenn
"He does now. Rick, I'm sorry. We told him where the prison was. We couldn't hold out" he apologized. The policeman knelt down next to him and put a hand on his knee "Don't. No need to apologize." hayley turned her attention to the window, not really paying attention to what the group was talking about. something about daryl wanting to go see his brother which she doesn't blame him for wanting to see him but the redneck was picking the wrong time to want to meet his sibling that's for sure.
the dark haired got so lost in her thoughts about thinking about the governor and the outcomes on what happens if they don't make it out of woodbury, she didn't even notice the group made their way out until she heard a 'bang' noise from the flash grenades here goes nothing she thought bitterly as she went out. catching up to the group, once rick gave the signal to start shooting, both her and daryl started shooting, thanking herself that she learned how to shoot from her grandfather.
They had made their way around a corner when a guard spotted them with a flashlight. "There they are!"he yelled and more people pointed their guns at the small group. Rick was the first to open fire, a second later Daryl and hayley joined in. all hayley could think about was they won't make it out on time. They could see about three guards on two large school buses which they used as part of the wall, and both Rick and Daryl took aim to shoot them and make it possible for the others to leave the small town. The group stayed together and kept moving, zigzagging their way to the wall and never stopped.
Bullets were flying left and right across the town. Looking as if this was out of a movie. Everyone just shot at each other and nothing else. no calm talking things out, no way. it looked like war. full out war. When they finally got closer and no guards were to be seen on this side of the street they heard shots coming from behind them. When the group turned around they could see that another large number of Woodbury fighters was hiding behind benches, trees and lamp posts on the other side. you've got to be kidding me
hayley cursed under her breath as she looked around and found a small alley that was between two houses "over there!" she yelled, pointing over to the alley and ran over to it. that was alot of shooting then she expected it to be and maybe the sheriff was right, maybe this isn't such a good idea but she did get the group in safely right? so she can get them out of here as well.
"How many?" Rick yelled as he reloaded his gun, hayley reloaded her pistol and chewed on her bottom lip "i don't know exactly...twenty...thirty? i don't know" she said "Don't matter. There's gonna be more of them. We need to move" Daryl growled, she looked around and her eyes glued onto the buses that were near the fence "no kidding" she mumbled "only way out is going ontop of those buses, jumping off and running for our lives" she said and looked at the men and then at glenn "think you can shoot?" she asked as glenn nodded his head "good" she said softly, she will of course make sure not to let the guy get hit which is the last thing the group needs as of now.
"Any grenades left?" Rick asked as hayley looked inside the bag rick took with him "not alot, only three left" she said softly and rick nodded his head "Get 'em ready. We gotta gun into the wall!" let's pray it works buddy she thought and moved some of the stray hair in front of her face "You guys go ahead. I'm gonna lay down some cover fire" Daryl muttered which caused the girl to raise her eyebrows "you got to be kidding me, that's putting yourself out there like a plate of chicken or something" she told him.
Daryl shook his head and moved "Too hairy. Someone's gotta cover your asses. I'll be right behind you!" hayley scoffed at disbelief, this guy was seriously nuts. does it run in the dixon family or something? "hope you know what you're doing" she said but of course, the redneck ignored her and threw the smoke grenade, watching him disappear in the cloud of smoke and she followed in foot with the group
The buses eventually appeared in front of them, which meant that they had made it to the wall and of course, the worst thing that can happen is losing amo and quickly that happened to the brunette. Cursing under her breath she looked around, the governors office was not far, she can slip inside for a second and grab some ammo, and possibly stop by to her room and grab her backpack and cross bow? yeah that sounded good. just because she was a bit injured by merle doesn't mean she was a good run right.
she looked over her shoulder as she hid behind a bench and looked at the small group that was going over the buses. good they were making their way out and her job is done. she's not needed anymore but the thought of daryl not being around worried her for some strange reason.
hurry it up dixon
Getting up from behind a bench, she sprinted over to the office. the fastest she ever ran in her life and that doesn't count running from walkers, she didn't know if anyone saw her running but she didn't care. she needed her ammo and bow to make it out alive. You would think she got there without getting caught, yeah that's what she thought too until someone grabbed her by her waist and pulled her out of this mess and towards the path of none other then the torture room
