ORDER (sequel to Trouble) [TWD]

"Married, huh? Didn't think that teenagers could do that," Rosita teases, knocking her shoulder into Sakiko's.

"I'm like twenty-something," Sakiko scrunched her nose, "Just cause your sugar daddy hasn't put a ring on it doesn't mean you have to hate on us."

"'Sugar daddy'?" Rosita repeats with a laugh.

"Ginger is like triple your age," Sakiko motions to where Abraham and Glenn were speaking.

"Men with experience do it better."

"Sure, just as long as he doesn't pop his hip out of place."

Rosita giggles nodding for Sakiko to follow her. Once they've caught up with the others, Abraham explains the plan of checking out the firetruck across the street.

"You wanna get that checked out first?" Sakiko points to Abraham's hand which was still bleeding.

"You a doctor?" he questions.

"My uncle was. But, it doesn't take a degree to know that that much blood coming out of a wound means bad news."

"Merle was a doctor?" Maggie asks, confused.

"No, Merle was a jackass," Sakiko recalls with fond eyes, "My mom's brother. He was a doctor. Fucking hated his job, too."

"Jackasses, degrees, or not.. It's best we hit the road before we waste more time in this librarian's wet dream," Abraham advises.

The group then gathers their supplies, Maggie quickly checks on Sakiko to ensure she is ready to be on the move again. She'd made a comment to Sakiko about her being determined as her fever was gone, to which Ryan playfully said it wasn't determination but stubbornness. Sakiko then threatened to divorce Ryan and take half of his ammo until Glenn forced them out the doors.

Sakiko was put in the fire truck as soon as they got there to avoid more exposure to the summer sun while the rest made sure the truck was in good condition. Once everyone was in the vehicle, it was only a matter of seconds before they were getting back out as the engine failed.

Sakiko rests on the edge of the seat with the door open as Abraham begins ripping walker flesh out of a vent on the side.

"Abraham?" Rosita asks.

"What?"

"That feeds the radiator. The intake for the engine is actually on the roof," she points out.

"How in the ever-loving fuck do you know that?" Sakiko asks, "Were you a firefighter? Like Sasha?"

"No," Rosita denies, "I just know."

"What like you know cars?" 

"Somewhat."

"Teach me," Sakiko points, "My dad taught me how to hotwire a car, but I know nothing else."

"Why did Daryl teach you to hotwire a car when you can't even drive?" Glenn questions.

"Do you know how to hotwire?" she asks in return.

"No," Glenn shakes his head, tone asking why he would ever need to know that, to begin with.

"This is why I know how to hotwire," Sakiko nods.

Glenn points to her, "You scare me."

Sakiko points back, "Thank you."

Rosita and Glenn chuckle as Abraham beings moving back to go up the ladder. Before he could make it there, a rogue tire is rolling past them.

"Too bad a working car isn't attached to that," Sakiko comments.

The door it came from suddenly bursts open, walkers spilling out.
