A teenager walks over to the Daryl making him frown at her. "You were with that group in the woods, right?" She asks.

Daryl is cautious and nods tense, "why?" He growls.

"The Asian siblings, what do you know about the woman?" She asks looking around as Dwight smokes the cigarette she gave him at the end of the hallway.

"Why?" Daryl growls again.

"None of your damn business," she says coldly.

"Why do you want to know about my wife?" He asks with a frown.

"You're married to her?" The teen asks surprised.

"Why do you care?" He asks stepping closer.

The teen looks stuck in a stir of emotions, "I don't." She lies.

"Yeah, you do," he says with a frown.

"What's her name?" She asks.

"Why?" He asks.

"Because I think she's my mother," the girl says with raised eyebrows.

Daryl's head shoots up and he looks at her, she looks a lot like Genny. "Caisy?" Daryl asks.

The teen smiles shyly and nods looking at the floor. "I'm sorry," he says looking down sadly as he remembers Glenn's death.

"For what?" She asks.

"Glenn, he raised you...and I got him killed," he says as tears form in his eyes.

"No, Negan killed him. Not you," she says through her teeth.

"All right, that's enough. Go do your work, Cass," Dwight says walking over to them.

"One more minute, please," she says a fake smile not able to tone out the pain in her eyes.

He sighs and holds out his hand. Caisy hands him a new cigarette, "you got a lighter?" She asks him.

He nods and hands her one as she lights a cigarette for herself. Dwight leaves again and Caisy holds the cigarette out to Daryl. "I'm gonna help you out of here. But you need to take me with you," she says.

Daryl looks at her for a few seconds before taking the cigarette and throwing his hair back. "Deal," he says shaking her hand.

She smiles before taking back the cigarette, "so, do I got to call you dad now?" She asks with a huge grin.

"I'll kill you," he says also smiling.

Later that day Daryl looks at Caisy as she sits on her knee. She looks at him making them both look away quickly.

They watch the burn and she leaves again with a sigh.
