Eloise was looking through the boxes in the truck with Carl and Jesus when she heard something squirt on the ground. She turned towards the exit and watched as Jesus poured out the syrup. When he felt the teens eyes on him, he turned to them and nodded. "Making a trail. I think we're close. We should bail out, follow the rest of the way, see what we can see." He said, peaking his head out the back as Lou's face scrunched.
"I, uh-- how?" Jesus chuckled, turning to her. "It isn't usually the fall that gets us. It's trying to fight it. Run with it or roll with it. The truck's going slow enough. We'll be in the blind spot. We can race behind one of the other cars." He explains and Eloise slowly nods her head.
"What if– if I screw up and we get caught–" "It'll be fine. We just got to go now." Jesus reassured and the two teens nodded. "Okay. Show us first." Carl tells him and Jesus sighs, waiting for the right moment before jumping out of the truck. Eloise was ready to go after him until Carl snaked an arm around her waist, pulling her back. "No. We're staying on." He mumbled, waving to Jesus.
After a few more turns, Eloise saw walkers chained up to a fence, making her grimace as Carl walked to the back of the truck. He walked back over to her, handing her a gun before pulling her with him behind the boxes.
"Okay, boys, let's get this haul unloaded and inside. I want to get back in there and unload a little myself." Lou's eyes went wide at the sound of Negan's voice, slowly lifting her gun up towards the exit as Carl did the same beside her.
"Negan, need to talk to you about redirect." A man spoke and Negan scoffed. "What about the redirect?" "It got screwed up. We're on it now, but it's a mess out there." "And whose job was that?"
Two men hoped into the back of the truck with Eloise and Carl, not noticing them as they grabbed boxes of alcohol. The box ripping, making the contents spill across the floor. "Aw, Shit!" One of the men screamed as he looked down out the ground. He must've seen Eloise out of the corner of his eye because in a quick second, his head shot up to her. "What the hell?"
Eloise, only caring about her and Carl's safety at the moment, started firing the gun, Carl right after her. When no more Saviors were near the exit of the truck, they both ran towards the edge, pointing their guns at anyone who came close to them. "Stay back! Drop your weapons." Eloise screamed, readjusting the gun in her arms. "We only want Negan. He killed my friends. No one else needs to die." Carl said.
Negan whistled, making both of them turn in his direction, guns raised. "Damn. You two are adorable. Did you pick those guns 'cause they look cool? You totally did, right?" Negan chuckled, making Eloise angrier. "Orphan Annie, I ain't gonna lie, you scared the shit outta me. I'm surprised you did this!" Negan chuckled again, running towards her, using one of his men as a shield and the two teens fired at Negan, hitting the guy instead until they both were tackled to the floor.
Eloise groaned at the pounding in her head as Dwight stood above her, pointing the gun she was using right at her head as another Savior did the same to Carl. "Boys! Back off." Negan screamed and the two got off the teens. Negan chuckled, walking over to them. "Is that any way to treat our new guest? Come on, kid. I will show you around." Negan cheered, holding his hand out to help them up.
