Unhappy Reunion
So because A) I can't really remember what was said between Michonne and the prison folk, and B) I got a lot of stuff going to happen in Woodbury, I'm just doing the Woodbury stuff in this chapter.
"Remember when we first joined the Atlanta guys?" Glenn asked, smiling.
"Yeah." Bo laughed, shaking her head. "T-Dog with his...damn white people problems." Glenn laughed and pulled things off the shelf to put into his basket. "Think we got enough stuff?"
"I think so." Glenn replied, looking at everything piled in the basket. Bo put an arm around his shoulders and kissed his cheek before they headed out of the shop. "I think I love...like...really...love Maggie."
"That's awesome!" Bo declared, smiling brightly. Glenn smiled back, happy of the approval. "So you gonna do something about that?"
"I...what?" Glenn asked.
"Well there's no real conventional way of it anymore but come on, pretty sure if you ask her daddy, you guys can get hitched somehow." Bo pointed out. Glenn stared at her as they walked to the van. They stopped just at the back, getting ready to open the trunk and put everything away when something caught his eye behind the blonde. She raised an eyebrow when she saw his attention going elsewhere, eyes widening, then turned when there was coughing.
Coming their way, looking like he had gotten a decent beating, was none other than Merle Dixon.
"Holy shit balls." Bo muttered. "Merle?"
"Well hey now." Merle spoke up as he recognized the duo. "If it ain't my brother's fuck buddy and the little asian boy."
"Korean." Bo and Glenn stated at the same time.
"How'd you get off the roof?" Glenn asked.
"Well certainly not with any help from you lot." Merle grumbled. He paused and looked them over carefully before lifting his right arm, pointing the blade at them. "My brother still with you guys?"
"Yeah." Bo replied warily. "We can bring him to you. If you actually wait this time." Merle started shaking his head, frowning. "We're not bringing you back with us, Merle."
"I gotta see him." Merle declared, moving closer to them.
"Then sit and wait." Glenn instructed, frowning. He put his arm out to pull Bo behind him.
"I ain't getting left behind again!" Merle snarled.
"If you had just waited, you wouldn't have been!" Bo snapped.
"Waited huh? Waited for them damn biters to get at me?" Merle questioned. Bo frowned and reached for her gun as Merle got closer, his bladed arm swinging wildly in his anger. He suddenly pulled his own gun out, causing Bo and Glenn to freeze. "Not so fast kids."
Glenn made a move for his gun, trying to be quick. Bo shoved him sideways just as Merle fired a shot and lunged. The back window of the van blew out, Glenn went one direction around the vehicle, Bo went the other. Glenn took his gun out and moved around the van, getting ready to aim and then freezing when he found Merle holding his blade at Bo's throat and his gun pointing at the other man.
"I may be getting old, but I'm still smarter than you two." Merle pointed out. "Now we're gonna go for a ride. Be a good boy and let me and the doc in."
Glenn shared a look with Bo and when she nodded slightly, he consented to the demand and slid the back door open. Merle pushed Bo inside and then kept the gun trained on Glenn as the younger man moved around to the driver seat.
Behind an old abandoned van, Michonne watched with dark, uncertain eyes as the trio drove away, back in the direction that she had come from and she knew damn well where Merle was taking them. Her eyes landed on the basket of supplies and a plan formed in her mind.
***TWD***TWD***TWD***TWD***TWD***
Andrea watched with a soft smile on her face as the Governor walked slowly around the room, baby Amy in his arms. Shane sat on the edge of the table, on hand on Andrea's knee as he too watched the other man. He couldn't help the slight twitch that developed around his eye as he watched his daughter being carried by this man.
"This really is a blessing in these times." The Governor declared. Amy shifted around in his arms, starting to get fussy. In an instant, Shane was up, arms out to take the baby back. The Governor looked at the father then down at the little girl. For a moment it seemed as if he wasn't going to hand her over but then he slowly gave the child to her parent. Amy calmed instantly as her wide blue eyes, taken from her mother, laid upon the comforting face of her father.
"Excuse me, Governor." Merle announced his arrival with a knock on the door that was already slightly opened to begin with. All eyes turned to him, taking in the bandage he had across the bridge of his nose. Shane frowned slightly, wondering about it and not at all liking the way the older Dixon ran his eyes over them.
"One minute." The Governor excused himself from Andrea and Shane before walking out of the room and closing the door, facing the slightly shorter man in the hallway. "Did you find her?"
"She's dead." Merle declared. The Governor nodded, looking happy. "I found a couple of other people...from my brother's group."
"So they know Andrea and Shane?" The Governor asked. Merle nodded. "You recognize them?"
"Both, little asian guy, Glenn." Merle explained. He looked around the hallway then looked carefully at the Governor. "And the doc girl who was sleeping with my brother. Got them in separate rooms so..."
"I'll talk with the girl, you find out what you can about where the rest of the group is from the boy." The Governor instructed. "Use whatever means you need." Merle grinned slightly and walked away. His grin faded slowly and he frowned, wondering about the feeling that was suddenly creeping up on him.
The Governor went back into the room and raised an eyebrow as Shane, who had apparently just been talking to Andrea, suddenly stopped. The blonde woman was frowning, looking a little puzzled.
"Everything alright?" The Governor asked.
"Just talking over options for things." Shane replied simply. The Governor nodded his head, not entirely believing but not arguing. His eyes locked with Shane's and something passed between them, a silent resentment.
"There's something I need to go and deal with." The Governor declared, turning his gaze to Andrea and softening it, adding a smile. "Nothing big."
"Maybe I can help." Shane volunteered. The Governor was caught off guard by that and he began wondering if the other man had heard his conversation with Merle.
"It won't take long, you just spend time with your family." The Governor stated, nodding down at Amy still resting in Shane's arms. He slowly turned away from the couple and walked back out of the room, leaving them alone once more.
"I don't trust him." Shane stated quietly.
"Really?" Andrea asked. She blinked, confused, when Shane put Amy in her arms. "Whoa, hey, hang on, what are you going to do?"
"I just want to know what's going on." Shane declared carefully. Andrea frowned at him. "If it's really nothing, I will drop it forever."
"You're going to get in trouble." Andrea argued.
"I'll be careful." Shane assured. He leaned down and kissed her when she tried to speak again. Andrea sighed against his lips and rested her forehead on his head when he leaned back. "Trust me."
"You damn well better be careful." Andrea whispered. Shane grinned and kissed her forehead before quickly exiting the room and going off to find the Governor. Sighing, the woman rose out of her seat and walked around the room that belonged to their host. It was her first time truly alone in it and now curiosity was setting in. She should have left, this was intruding on his privacy now. But first Michonne had been suspicious and left and now Shane was doing this, her curiosity was peaked, she had to find something to help her in whatever way.
That something came in the form of a picture perched on the desk of a little family. The Governor's family. There was a woman that Andrea assumed was his wife, looking pale and maybe even a little weak. Sitting in front of the couple was two girls, the youngest looking to be about three and the older one looking about sixteen. It was the older of the two children that really caught Andrea's attention. Blonde hair, blue eyes, a smile so fake, a posture leaning ever so slightly away from the others, and so incredibly familiar that Andrea had a hard time even thinking as she stared down at the teenaged version of Bo.
***TWD***TWD***TWD***TWD***TWD***
Bo paced around her room, gnawing on her lower lip as she listened to the sounds of Glenn struggling in the next room. From the sounds of things, a walker had been released in with him. She kicked at her door and frowned, hoping like hell that Glenn was as capable as she believed him to be. She ran her hands through her hair and listened, moving across the room to lean on the wall that separated the two rooms.
Snarls and crashes and the occasional yell echoed through the wall. Bo frowned, tasting blood from the amount of pressure she had been applying to her lip with her teeth. She licked at the damaged flesh and groaned, hitting the wall.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Bo snarled, teeth gritting together. "FUCKING MERLE!"
She froze when the door of the room opened but refused to turn around. She heard it close again, knew that it was locked and probably that someone on the other side was waiting for her new companion to announce that they wanted out before it could be opened again. She kept the side of her head against the wall, listening to the continued struggles, her hand balling into a fist next to her head.
"So you're the doctor." The voice that reached her ears made her pause as her brain struggled with figuring out why it sounded familiar. "I heard some about you from Merle. You and his brother. If Daryl's anything like Merle, I'm surprised at a girl like you."
A cold hand gripped around her insides as the familiarity registered and she tensed up.
"Never told me a name though." The Governor stated casually as he walked towards the woman. "So tell me, who do I get to deal with?"
"You gotta be fucking kidding me." Bo grumbled. The Governor tilted his head, a slow grin. It faded off however, as the woman turned to face him. The recognition slowly grew in his eyes as they widened in disbelief. Bo's eyes narrowed and her fists hang motionless and waiting at her sides.
"Isabeau." The Governor whispered.
"So when did you finally notice I was gone?" Bo asked bitterly. The Governor's face darkened as he frowned. "Was it before or after mom died?"
"You never..." The Governor started.
"I never what?" Bo snapped. "Never stuck around for the time where your yelling would become fists flying? Never stuck around to watch mom deteriorate after getting sick? Like you even gave a damn. If you had any sort of care, you would have called. You would have done something. Did Penny put up with it? Or was she just the perfect little princess that you wanted so badly."
Her back hit the wall with enough force that her vision blurred for a few seconds. The Governor held her by her shoulders, his grip tight and bruising. Bo just glared at him, facing off against her oldest demon.
"Shut up." The Governor snarled darkly.
"You're gonna be so screwed." Bo whispered. Her head snapped to the side when he slapped her and she slowly turned it back, the defiant expression still on her face.
"Do they know you abandoned your family for a man that you're obviously not still with?" The Governor asked.
"Does it kill you that mom told me to leave?" Bo shot back, eyebrow lifting. He frowned at her, eyes narrowing dangerously. "She would have left if she could. Told me to go, to get out while I could." He threw her across the room and into the table and all she did was laugh.
"You disrespect insolent little creature." The Governor growled. He moved towards her and stopped when the door opened. Martinez stood there with an expression on his face that clearly said something was up. The Governor frowned at the interruption, shot one more look at Bo as she stood by the table, rubbing her bright red cheek, and finally left the room.
"The cop's asking questions." Martinez whispered.
"Where is he?" The Governor asked.
"Outside." Martinez replied. The Governor nodded, taking a moment to consider his options. "What do you want done with these guys?"
"I want the boy taken out." The Governor decided. "The girl...tie her up and lock her in my room. Make sure Shane and Andrea don't see her." With that said, he walked away to go deal with his next issue.
So I haven't seen the last episode yet so NO ONE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS! I already know about Merle because damn people on facebook, but please don't say anything about it.
