It's been a few days since Abraham, Eugene, Rosita, Glenn and Maggie left for Washington. In the meantime almost everyone went to Atlanta to save Beth. Only people left at the church are Mike, Michonne, Axel, Gabriel and Carl (Elly is in Atlanta too). Bob did sadly die but the group made sure that his end was nice.
"What's up with Gabriel? I haven't seen him all day." Mike asked.
"He said that he wasn't feeling well." Michonne said.
"Should we check on him?" Axel asked.
"No, to be honest I'm glad that he's asleep." Carl said.
"I know, he's a bit annoying sometimes." Michonne said and chuckled.
"You all shouldn't take this so serious, I was also conflicted at first when ya'll found me." Axel said.
"He's right, we shouldn't go so hard on him." Carl said.
"But man, this guy sleeps long." Mike remarked.
"I know, I got a bad feeling." Axel said.
"Do ya'll think there's some wine here?" Mike asked.
"Oh no, don't you dare get drunk again, that was the worst celebration in the prison ever." Michonne said.
"What? I would never drink that much again." Mike said.
"Mike, how old are you again?" Axel asked.
"I dunno, Carl, how old are you?" Mike asked.
"14, I think." Carl answered.
"Ok, then I should be late 14 or already 15 years old." Mike said.
"That is way too young to drink anything." Michonne said.
"You americans are all pussies, in germany it was legal to drink whine and beer with 14." Mike said.
"Ok, but if you're drunk this badly again, I will make sure you never taste alcohol again." Michonne said.
"Alright, chill out, you sound like my mom or rather how she sounded." Mike said with a tear coming down his cheek.
"I'm sorry, Mike." Michonne said.
"No, It's no problem, I never really loved my family." Mike said.
"Help! Help me!" A sound could be heard from outside.
"What the?" Mike asked.
"That's Gabriel!" Michonne said.
"Axel! Get yourself a Shotgun!" Mike shouted.
They broke down the barricaded door and saw Gabriel surrounded by a horde of walkers.
"Fuck!" Carl yelled and shot a walker in the head.
"I made a hole in my office! We can escape through there!" Gabriel said.
They ran back into Gabriels office and escaped through the hole only moments after the walkers broke through the door.
"We gotta trap 'em in the church!" Carl said.
They ran back to the entrance of the church and re-barricaded the door, using their pistols as hammers.
"I don't think this is gonna hold!" Axel said while
reloading his Shotgun.
"Brace yourselves!" Michonne said and pulled her Katana.
"Do you hear that?" Carl asked Mike.
Before they could process anything a fire truck destroyed the porch and blocked the entrance.
"Abe?" Mike asked.
"It sure fucking is! It's good to see you you little monster." Abraham said and hugged Mike.
"You too you drunken bastard." Mike said jokingly.
"Maggie!" Michonne said and hugged her.
They all reunited but why were they here? That question lingered on Mike's mind.
"But why are you here?" Carl asked.
"Eugene..Uh...He lied, about everything, this can't be stopped." Rosita said.
"I'll fucking kill him." Mike said and pulled out his pistol.
"Oh no you don't!" Michonne said.
"We can discuss this shit later, as I see the state of the church I'd suggest we follow Rick to Atlanta." Abraham said.
They all went into the vehicle and drove towards Atlanta.
"I can't wait to see Beth." Maggie said.
"Me too, hey big man, how many miles till Atlanta?" Mike asked Abraham.
"We are there, I think." Abraham said.
"Hey Abraham, you think you could let me out here." Mike asked.
"What do you mean?" Abraham asked and stopped the truck.
"I...I need to take care of something." Mike answered.
"You know that we want to get to the hospital, right?" Carl asked.
"I know, It's very important to me, just pick me up right here in 2 hours." Mike said.
"I think Abraham can do that, but I'll come with you." Rosita said.
"Rosita..." Abraham said.
"Abraham, I can take care of myself." Rosita cut him off.
"Alright, 2 hours." Abraham said.
Both of them left the truck and Rosita followed Mike.
"What do you want to exactly do?" Rosita asked.
"You'll see." Mike said and put his suppressor on his gun.
They continued down the streets while killing walkers here and there.
"Ew." Rosita said.
"What is it?" Mike asked and turned around.
"That." She said and pointed to 2 bone fingers.
"Oh fuck...These are the remains of my fingers I think." Mike said horrified.
"Oh shit." She answered.
"Let's just keep going." Mike said.
They walked for 20 minutes in silence. They stopped at a quarantine apartment complex. They went up the stairs, they only stopped when Mike did.
"What is it?" Rosita asked.
"Nothing." Mike said quietly and pulled out a pair of keys.
He opened the door and there were 3 badly rotten walkers lying on the floor.
"Mike, why are we here?" Rosita asked again.
"This...This is my family." Mike said with tears running down his face.
"That's why we're here, you wanna put them out of their misery." Rosita said.
Mike didn't answer he just shot the 3 in the head with his pistol.
"Let's just go." Mike said and turned to the door.
They walked for another hour to the street where they started their little trip. There they saw the truck standing.
"What are you guys doing here?" Mike asked.
"We figured we all go meet Beth, now come on, get in the truck." Abraham said.
They went back into the truck and continued to the hospital, Mike and Rosita had a quiet understanding to not talk about this.
"Alright, we're there." Abraham said.
"I can't wait to see Beth." Maggie said excited.
They walked for a bit and arrived at the meeting point. There they saw everyone, looking sad and Daryl coming out of the hospitals entrance holding a corpse.
"What is Daryl holding?" Mike asked.
"Oh no, It's Beth!" Carl said.
"NO!" Maggie screamed and cried as she saw Daryl holding Beth's dead body.
Glenn held her back but she just broke down crying, Carl had tears running down his face and he covered his face with his hat. Mike just fell on his knees, unable to process this tragic loss for the group.
