ORDER (sequel to Trouble) [TWD]

for maggie

After Paula threatened the women to not try anything and left them tied and gagged in a room, Sakiko looked for her escape.

She figures that she can't not use words. She and Maggie were close, but not as close as she is to Nanami, Daryl, or Ryan. So, she pokes her fingers through opening in the tape around her hands to tug the gag out of her mouth.

"Maggie.. There," she whispers, nodding to the debris on the floor, "Shank a bitch."

Maggie says something muffled that Sakiko thinks is 'it's not sharp enough'.

"They made us talk to the others on the walkie and lone dude is injured and their Primo guy can patch him up. This shouldn't take long."

Still, she looks around before spotting a water hose on the wall. She turns on her knees, sliding over to it, though it was hard with her ankles also tied together. She wracks her brain before getting the tip of the hose into her taped hands. She unscrews the metal ring before falling back against the wall.

As fast as she could, she uses her momentum to bring her legs up and put them through her arms. The stretch was painful, but her bound hands are eventually under her knees.

Situating the metal ring between the tips of her fingers, she begins scraping it against the concrete floor. If she could just make it into a point- wither it down like sharpening her knives.. She could use it to cut the tape off her hands and legs, then get Maggie and Carol free.

Then, the guns stop.

"Shit," Sakiko hisses, lowering her head and placing the gag back in her mouth and kicking her feet to return to her normal position.

On the left of Sakiko, on the other wall, Carol begins breathing in and out rapidly. Sakiko calls her name, now annoyed by being muffled.

The group of Saviors return and begin talking among themselves. It takes Maggie trying to scream at them to get their attention. Then, Paula ungags her.

"What?" she asks.

"She's hyperventilating, somebody needs to take her gag off," Maggie motions to Carol.

Sakiko was.. Confused. Carol was in tears, unable to breathe. This wasn't the Carol she knew. What had gotten into her?

The older woman, Molls, takes Carol's gag off.

"Don't even think about taking hers off," Paula says, shooting Sakiko a glare.

Sakiko wanted so bad to take it off again just to piss her off, but she knew better than that.

"It doesn't matter what happens to me.. Just don't hurt Maggie.. Don't hurt Sara.. Don't hurt the babies," Carol pleads, "

"Carol!" Sakiko shouts through her gag.

Then, she thinks about Carol's words again. Babies? As in more than one?

"Yeah right.. Double knock up?" Michelle, the black haired woman scoffs.

Paula stomps over to Sakiko, tearing the gag from her mouth.

"They both got buns in the oven?" the man asks.

Sakiko pokes her stomach out a bit, trying to at least look the part, "What? You wanna know if I got a baby daddy or something? Is it that big of a deal?"

"She's not pregnant," Paula suspects, "You're what? Fifteen?"

"Gee, thanks Jessica Fucking Rabbit. I'm happy to know I've kept my youthful glow through the-"

Paula slaps Sakiko to shut her up.

Sakiko inhales through her nose, trying to stay calm. This bitch.. Oh, this bitch was gonna get it.

"I'm only two months, I think. But, we are in laws. Our husbands are brothers," Maggie tries to get the attention on her instead of Sakiko- she could see the girl's patience wearing thin.

Michelle scoffs again, "Pregnancies.. Marriages.. Nice clothes.. What kind of heaven are you people shacked up in?"

--

Sakiko had ripped at the tape behind her ankle. Just one rough pull of her legs and the tape would snap. She almost had it.

"She did this," the man spits at Carol, "She did it and she's just sitting there.. Right as rain, fully intact."

"Hey," Paula calls.

"No, you're not gonna make the trade. We should just do 'em in now."

Sakiko rolls her eyes, turning the metal piece around in her hands to begin cutting at the tape around her fingers from the inside. Discretion was the point. She just had to be quiet and smooth enough to-

The man suddenly backhands Paula after she'd been telling him to calm down. He starts toward Carol and Maggie turns onto her back.

"Leave her alone!" Maggie screams, kicking the man's feet out from under him.

"No! No!" Carol screams as the man grabs Maggie by the hair.

Maggie headbutts Donnie and Sakiko spreads her legs, ripping the tape. She leaps to her feet as he takes another step to Maggie.

"Hey, dick face!" Sakiko shouts.

Just as Donnie reaches for Maggie, beginning to pin her to the wall, Sakiko jumps on his back, wrapping her bound hands around his throat.

He stumbles around, only one hand, the one from his uninjured hand, grabbing at her arms.

Sakiko clings to him, tightening around his throat to choke him. Her left leg sticks out before she hikes it inward, slamming her heel into his stomach.

"Fuckin', bitch!" he shouts, bashing his back against the wall- squishing Sakiko between the wall and himself.

Sakiko had never felt so desperate before. The man was unhinged. He was going to hurt Maggie and if he did so- he wouldn't care if she lost the baby. Maggie had already lost too much. Sakiko was trying her best to look for Glenn, she couldn't have the older woman lose the one thing she still had of Glenn.

She thinks about the last time she was so hopeless and helpless. Those claimers that Daryl had ran into. 

To get out of it Rick had to stoop to levels unheard of before and..

Sakiko opens her mouth, sinking her teeth into the side of Donnie's neck.

He shouts in pain, slamming her against the wall again. Her head flings backwards, hitting the concrete. He bends over, flipping Sakiko off over his head. She lands on the floor with a loud thump, the air escaping her lungs from the impact.

He starts to kick her and then Paula pistol whips him. He falls unconscious to the floor beside Sakiko.

"You really are some kind of stupid," Paula tells the women.

Sakiko closes her eyes, trying to breathe through the pain and taste of blood in her mouth.
