"All right! We got a full boat. Let's meet the man." The Savior cheered walking towards the RV and knocking on the door. After a few moments, a man walked out. He was slicked back black hair and a grey beard but what caught Lou's eyes was his bat, covered in barbed wire. The man looked around at the group that was kneeling and smirked.

"Pissing our pants yet? Boy, do I have a feeling we're getting close." The man spoke as he looked over the group, laughing more. "It's gonna be pee-pee pants city here real soon. Which one of you pricks is the leader?"

A man behind Eloise spoke and from the curve of the way she was sitting, she could see him pointing at Rick. "It's this one. He's the guy."

Eloise felt panic overflow her as the man with the baseball bat went right up to Rick, swinging his back over his shoulder. "Hi. You're Rick, right? I'm Negan. And I do not appreciate you killing my men. Also, when I sent my people. to kill your people for killing my people, you killed more of my people. Not cool. You have no idea how not cool that shit is. But I think you're gonna be up to speed shortly. Yeah. You are so gonna regret crossing me in a few minutes. Yes, you are."

As much as she wanted to look away, she couldn't look away from the terrifying man in front of her. "You see, Rick, whatever you do, no matter what, you don't mess with the new world order. And the new world order is this, and it's really very simple. So, even if you're stupid, which you very may well be, you can understand it. You ready? Here goes. Pay attention." Negan dropped his bat, barely missing Ricks face before bringing it right up to his chin.

"Give me your shit... or I will kill you." Negan spoke with a sly smile and Eloise finally looked away as he started walking down the row of Alexandrians, heading towards Glenn and Daryl first.

"Today was career day. We invested a lot so you would know who I am and what I can do. You work for me now. You have shit, you give it to me. That's your job. Now, I know that is a mighty big, nasty pill to swallow, but swallow it you most certainly will." Negan walked back up to Rick and Lou's eyes fell back to the man.

"You ruled the roost. You built something. You thought you were safe. I get it. But the word is out. You are not safe. Not even close. In fact, you are pegged, more pegged if you don't do what I want. And what I want is half your shit. And if that's too much, you can make, find, or steal more, and it'll even out sooner or later. This is your way of life now. The more you fight back, the harder it will be. So, if someone knocks on your door... you let us in. We own that door. You try to stop us and we will knock it down. You understand?" Negan asked but Rick didn't answer, instead, looking off towards the RV.

Negan bent down a little to get closer to him, pointing to his ear. "What, no answer?" Rick didn't answer again, making the man chuckle and back away. "You don't really think that you were gonna get through this without being punished, now, did you?"
