"Let go right... Here." I drop the plank of wood into the Bridge platform and brush the sawdust off of my hands. Aaron rubs his face and rests his hands on his knees.

"So, I go in after her nap and pick her up." I kneel with a hammer as he talks about his newly adopted daughter. "And the diaper just explodes all over me."

"Sounds like good times." I sarcastically say as I hammer down a nail into the plank.

"The best." Aaron chuckles. "You'll see." I look up at him and he takes a glance at Lizzie behind me, working on a different part of the bridge, as I give him silence. "What? You'd be a great dad."

"Whatever you say, man." I fit another nail into the plank but stop halfway as I hear a loud thud behind me.

I see Henry, Ezekiel's son, and Morgan's apprentice before he left, being pushed away by Justin and grabbing a water container from his grasp before trying to down the water.

Henry quickly gets back up and unholsters his staff before hitting the back of Justin's knee causing him to fall on his ass Henry takes the Container back and walks away.

The people working on the bridge erupt in laughter as Justin gets back up and walks towards Henry again. I quickly get up and sprint over to him, grabbing his shoulder so he faces me.

"Hey, Kid's just doing his job. Get back to work." He gets close to my face.

"I don't need your people telling me what to do. Especially, you. Try and bail on us again will ya'."

He walks away so I grab his shoulder again and he goes to punch me but I quickly lean back and respond with a hook of my own making him fall into a pile of sawdust on the ground.

He puts his hand up in surrender but quickly throws a handful of sawdust into my eyes blinding me before taking me to the ground.

I blindly swing and hit him turning us over with me on top. I punch him in the ribs before he knees my stomach pushing me off of him and to my feet.

I push him into one of the support beams for the bridge and hit him again in the ribs as he wraps his hands around my neck going to choke me.

He headbutts me making me recoil in pain and I hit him one more time before hearing Rick's shouting voice.

"Hey! Break it up Right now! Enough." Rick gets in between me and Justin and holds me back as another Saviour holds Justin back. I try to go past Rick but he points in my face. "I said enough."

I shook my head and checked my nose for bleeding which luckily wasn't but a metallic taste filled my mouth and I spat to see a small pool of blood come out.



"So, that asshole just gets a free pass? Is that it?" I pace in Rick's tent as he leans on a table in the middle of the tent and Carol with her arms crossed.

"It's just a few more days, I don't like it either but we're in a rush to get that work done. He's strong. The Saviours are half the workforce, and we've had too many walk off already." I move closer angrily.

"Yeah. 'Cause, that's who they are. Some of them ain't ever gonna fall in line just 'cause you say so."

"Y/n's right." Carol agrees with me. "These people have never had to live together. And we can't expect them to just forget what's happened."
