Chapter 4

No one knew what to say, they all just looked at king Ezekiel and Dwight, carol was the first one to speak up. She got up and walked right up Dwight.

"hell no, there is no way we working with you, you were the one the killed Denise and shot Daryl, how can we trust you, you're probably just trying to set us all up so you take us to Negan"

Dwight knew he had to calm this woman down and try to get her to trust him, he knew that was going to be hard because she was looking at him like she wanted to kill him. Dwight take a few steps back and look her in the face.

"I'm really sorry for killing Denise and shooting Daryl but it was the only way to get Negan to trust me, I had to do what he wanted because he has my wife, but you can trust me, I want him out of the way the same as you."

Carol couldn't just stand there and listen to him trying to defend himself, he killed Denise and shot Daryl no way she was having that. Before anyone had a chance to understand what was happing, carol had taken her knife out and was lunging for Dwight. Dwight manged to get out of carols way but she was still coming for him.

"I really had no choice, I'm sorry for hurting you friends, but you have to understand that Negan was going to hurt my wife if I didn't do what he wanted."

Carol stop and looked at Dwight. "I don't have to understand anything, I don't trust you and I will kill you."

Rick knew he had to do something, he could understand where carol was coming from, but he also knew that if they had hope of getting Daryl back they had to work with him, didn't mean they had to trust him. He walked up to carol and put his hand on her arm, turned her towards him so he could look at her, he need to her clam her down.

"carol please I know how you are feeling, but I think Dwight is the best chance we might have at getting Daryl back, and king Ezekiel seems to trust him."

A part of carol knew that rick was talking sense "I still don't trust him rick."

Rick didn't trust him either. "carol he don't have to trust him, but we should listen to want he has to say."

Carol calmed down a bit and put her knife away. "ok rick whatever you say, but one wrong move from him and I will kill him."

King Ezekiel who had listened to all this, decided it was time he said something, he wasn't going to have people fighting in his place.

"all of you clam down I will not have fighting here, this is my place and you will all respect that, I get why you are all angry, but you can trust Dwight he has been my inside man for a while, what he says about his wife is true, he came to me a while ago asking for help to get her back, I know he has hurt your friends, but it was because he had to keep his wife alive. And Dwight you must understand that these people are going to feel a bit hurt and angry with you. Now if everyone would just clam down and take a seat and listen to what man has to say."

Carol looked and rick who gave her a quick nod before he went to take a seat, she looked at king Ezekiel and Dwight. "king Ezekiel I'm sorry for my behaviour, I will respect you and your place, I'm just glad to have your help, but Dwight I don't trust you, and if anything, happens to any more of my friends I will kill you and no one will be able to stop me."

Carol didn't wait for a reply from either of them, she just turned around and went to take a seat next rick. "ok Dwight I'm listening."

With everyone seated Dwight looked at them. "first I will apologise to you all again, I know you don't trust me and you have every reason not to, but I promise you I really didn't want to hurt anyone, all I wanted was to keep my wife alive. I plan a have to help you get your friend back, I know where Negan keeps him and first thing tomorrow morning I will help you get him back."

"ok what have we got to do?" carol asked.

Dwight looked at carol and said. "you will all come with me tomorrow, I will show you way in and show you where your friend is, but I will need you help to get pasted Negan's men, you might need to kill a few and I need you all to promise me that you will help me get my wife."

Carol and rick looked at each other quickly before rick spoke up. "we have no problems killing any of them, and we will help you get your wife back, but if I see for one minute you are setting us up, I will let carol here kill you no problem at all."

"fair enough, now I have to get back before Negan notices I have gone I will meet you all back in here in the morning." Said Dwight before to turned around and walked out the door.

"thank you for your help king Ezekiel and for letting us stay." Said rick.

"no worries rick, if any of you need anything else please let know."

Carol suddenly got idea into her head that might be able to help them, she just hope that king Ezekiel will agree to it, she look up at him "king Ezekiel I have idea and I think it will work, could I please borrow Sylvia for tomorrow."

King Ezekiel though about it before he answered her. "I let you borrow her, but only if I can come with you so I know she is safe, what do you need her for anywhere carol?"

Carol couldn't believe he had agreed to this, she was a bit worried after she was talking about taking a tiger with them. "thank you king Ezekiel that means a lot and I have no problems with coming with us, all I want to do really is be able to Sylvia with me when we go in, I don't plan on using her for anything really apart from to scare them all a bit."

Few hours later everyone was in their rooms that king Ezekiel had giving to them for the night, rick and carol where the only ones still up talking in carols room.

"carol I still think you crazy taking a tiger with us, I mean it's a tiger." Rick said.

Carol looked at rick and laughed. "I know it's crazy rick, but think about it no one has seen a tiger still the turn, and I think it might scare they all bit, into giving us Daryl back, don't get me wrong I have no problem with us fighting and killing him, but we both know that Negan has to many men for us to take out, we can't do it by ourselves we need the others back home, before we can make a move to take me him down."

" what you say does makes sense carol, we go in and get Daryl and go back home and talk to the others, but if anything happens I want you and Daryl to get away and find some place safe, don't go to Alexandra for a few days until things clam down, I know you and Daryl will be safe together, I trust you both to look out for each, you don't need to worry about the rest of us we will be fine, just make sure the two of you get away somewhere safe."

Carol understood what rick was saying, she knew that things could go wrong and they didn't know what shape Daryl was going to be in when they found him. "rick I promise you, if things go wrong me and Daryl will find somewhere safe for a few days, but please stay safe yourself."

Rick gave carol a quick hug, before he made his way towards the door. don't worry about me carol, I will be ok, now get some rest, we have a busy day tomorrow, we going to Daryl back."

"ok night rick see you tomorrow"

"night carol" with that rick was gone leaving carol alone with her thoughts. She hope everything was going to go alright tomorrow, she got into bed and said to herself before she fall asleep.

Stay safe Daryl, I'm coming for you tomorrow.
