Daryl, Judith and i rushed into the Tower. walkers were already here. Daryl closed the door but a walker got in.

I killed the walker as Daryl locked the door.

Some people were missing. Alden, Aaron, Eugene, Ezekiel, Princess, Yumiko.


In the staircase.

I was with Daryl while he was doing some work on the stairs.

Me " Helping some people? That's all she said? "

Daryl " Yeah. "

Me "If they're like us, I get it."

Daryl " I just wish she would've told me. I'd've gone with her. "

Me "Only way she would go anywhere is knowing you and i were here. For Judith and RJ and me. Everyone."

Daryl " Just keep thinking I'm never gonna see her again. Just like everyone else. "

I put a hand on his shoulder "I'm still here. "

Daryl nodded and put a hand on my hip "yeah, only because you don't have anywhere else to go. You're trapped here"

I rolled my eyes "that's not true, asshole, and you know that"

He chuckled.

I shoved him a little "stop joking about this kind of shit, okay?"

Daryl just chuckled.


In the main room.

Gabriel "Our plan is the same. Lead the horde away, just not from Oceanside as we had planned. Once the walkers are clear, we evacuate to Rendezvous Point B. Luke. We ready? "

Luke nodded "Yeah, yeah. Uh, technically. Okay. So, these are the final pieces that we need to connect to the wagon. But in order for it to do the pied piper thing that we need it to do over the cliff, we gotta get from A to B, and I gotta plug and plug, and then we should be good to go. "

Magna "That wagon is on the other side of the horde. "

Jerry "So... someone's gotta go through it? With skins in there? "

Gabriel " Four groups. Two in each. One carries the cargo, one protects. It's crucial that all the equipment makes it to the wagon. "

Lydia nodded "We can make it through. I'll help. "

Rachel nodded " We're willing. But not if she goes. And we know she's earned trust with you, but... Oceanside isn't ready. Not with this. "

Gabriel nodded " That's fine. As it happens, Lydia's role is in here. "

Daryl " Look, we're not all gonna make it through. But this is the only way. "

Kelly nodded "If Daryl's going, then so am I. "

Kelly, Daryl and i were standing in a circle.

Negan walked to us.

Daryl looked at him "Hey. - Why you clean? "

Negan shook his head "I ain't going. "

Daryl "You've done this more'n any of us."

Negan " I am on the tip-top of every skins' kill list. Especially fee fi fo asshole. So if the idea is to get through without drawing a shitload of attention, then I am the last person these people want standing next to them. "
