"Hello, I am Jakarious Tantula."

Rick extends his hand, "I'm Rick Grimes…"

Mr. Tantula invites Rick in to his motel room; as he walks in he asks, "…pardon me but how is your first name pronounced again?"

Mr. Tantula grins non-judgmentally and says, "Please call me Jakar."

Once Jakar closes the door; the rest of his family come from the adjoining rooms and stand in a line. Jakar begins to name them starting with his wife, "This is Imithal my wife, and my son Fadi and my daughter Inika."

Rick responds to Jakar's wife and to his twin children, "How do you do?" as he walks down the line shaking everyone's hand.

Jakar's wife and children live the room as the two men sit down at the writing table.

"Let me just say that I am glad to see that your family made here alright however, our people have encountered some serious issues with strangers so I just need to ask you a few thangs before we go any further. Rick says in a polite tone.

"That is fine." Jakar replies.

"How many people have you or anyone in your family killed?"

Jakar, insulted by the question answers, "None!"

"How many walkers have you or anyone in your family killed?"

Again, feeling insulted by the second question Jakar answers, "None!"

Rick begins to leer at the Jakar; strangely surprised that no one in his family has every killed any walkers, and then eagerly asks, "Why?"

Jakar has had enough of Rick questioning; so he stands up and walks toward the motel door, "Mr. Grimes we are a family of pacifists, we do not engage in violence towards the living."

Rick stands up abruptly and says, "Are you serious?! There're flesh eating monsters out there; and you're gonna tell me that you and your family consider them the living?"

"Yes, that is exactly what I'm telling you; man has been eaten the flesh of one another for tens of thousands of years. These 'walkers' as you describe them are living beings just like you and I." Jakar explains.

Rick walks toward the door disgusted by Jakar's ideology; but before he leaves he looks at Jakar, "You've seen what these things do to normal people right?"

"I have seen a great many horrors, here in the U.S. and in India; before and after the outbreak…more than I care to recount. Manhas been notorious for committing heinous acts toward one another; the only difference now is that they do it with no fear, no guilt and no agenda. Our family has made it this far without…"

Rick rudely interjects, "Getting your hands dirty?"

"If you came here to ask us to help you and your people kill…well than we have nothing else to discuss." Jakar finishes.

Rick leaves Jakar's room and walks slowly down the hall in bewilderment at what has just occurred.

Upon hearing the motel door shut, Imithal leans away from the nearly closed adjoining room door; she's been listening to Jakar's conversation with Mr. Grimes the entire time.

She looks at the door as though it was Jakar himself; shakes her head in detest , "Jakar is a feeble asshole". Then she swiftly turns around to her children, "Quickly go out this room door to the hallway and catch up with Mr. Grimes, I will tell your father that the two of you went to get something out of the car."

Fadi and his twin sister Inika, promptly run up to Rick, "Mr. Grimes…"

Rick turns around sees the brother and sister; glances down at the door they just came from then waves them over to the lobby steps away from their father's motel room.

"…Mr. Grimes, my sister and I do not feel the same way as my father." Fadi whispers.

Rick is very leery about talking to Jakar's children; he knows how disrespectful it would be to encourage them to disobey their father's wishes. He knows he wouldn't want anyone to do something like that to Carl and Judith.

'How old are you?" He asksthe two.

Inika impudently answers, "We are old enough to know that our father is a naïve and stubborn man; still holding on to a world that no longer exists."

Rick takes a deep breath then hastily whispers, "How many people have the two of you killed?"

Fadi earnestly responds, "I have only killed one of those things; it tried to eat my sister when her and I were gather firewood in the back of our house."

"And neither one of you have never killed a normal human being before?" Rick inquires.

The brother and sister respond in unison, "No."

Rick turns away momentarily to decide what he's going to tell the two; he faces them again and says, "I'm not encouraging the two of you to go against your father's wishes; but these days people are always stronger in numbers. Out of respect for your father…the two of you need to be the ones to tell him what your plans are; once you've done that, come see me."
