"Everyone is in position." Glenn whispered to Rick as we all crouched and readied ourselves. We waited for Maggie, Sasha, David and Spencer to snipe the guards out. I steadied my breathing in attempt to slow my pounding heart. I was nervous to say the least. Alexandria and Hilltop needed this win but also the supplies from this base. Jack had explained that the Saviors had just received a truck load of supplies from an Oceanside group recently and that it would be here tonight. There was no way we were leaving here empty handed!

Daryl nudged my shoulder with his which broke me out of my thoughts. He eyed me curiously as I sent him a reassuring smile. Before Daryl could say a word we could hear faint gasps and bodies drop.

"Let's go!" Rick motioned to us. We all crouch-walked up to the wall of walkers and started slicing their heads off before pushing through to the metal fence. Jesus picked the lock and quietly slid open the gate while we piled through. All the guards had been taken down thankfully. Jesus and a few other hill top people picked up guns from the deceased Saviors while the rest of us readied to enter the buildings. Rosita, Carl, Abraham, Daryl and I steadied ourselves as Jack slowly unlocked the door to the ambulance station. The building itself must have been two thousand square feet! Even though it was smaller than the fire hall we had to be super careful!

Daryl, myself, Carl and Rosita explored the top floor while Jack and Abraham cleared the main floor. Cautiously we approached a few rooms and slowly opened them to reveal people asleep on their cots. Daryl slid out his machete while I took out my knife. Together we simultaneously stabbed the two men in the head before moving onto the next room. We focused on the right side of the hall while Rosita and Carl cleared the left. Before exiting the one room my eyes wandered up to a cork board covered with photos of families and kids. My conscience told me this was wrong but I suppressed the feeling and pushed on.

As we exited the room a door from the end of the hall opened causing Daryl and I to freeze. We quickly backed into the other room and peaked around the corner to see where the person had gone. Footsteps neared as I gripped onto my knife and waited. Once the woman walked by I quickly covered her mouth with my hand and stabbed her in the back of her neck. Slowly I guided and drug her body into the bedroom while Daryl moved onto the next room.

I released a sigh of relief as Daryl killed the last person on our side. While Daryl cleaned his knife I heard a door creak open from beside us and a click of a gun. I poked my head around the doorframe and held in a gasp as a man held a gun up to Carl's head.

"Drop your weapons!" The man eyed Rosita and Carl.

"You first!" I said lowly as I pressed the barrel of the shotgun into his back. Daryl stood behind me with the AR pointed at the mans head.

"Do you have any idea who you're fucking with?!" The man snarled as he dropped his weapons.

"We do." I smirked as Daryl sliced the mans throat.

"What the?" A woman's voice said from behind us. She raised a gun to shoot at Daryl but before she could pull the trigger I tackled her to the ground. Our bodies rolled through the fire exit and toppled down the stairs as gun shots rang from where we were. The woman landed a couple punches to my face in the process while I did my best to keep her off of me.

The woman and I both winced as we landed on the cement floor. As she reached for her gun I kicked her side causing her to cough violently as I reached for the shotgun and aimed at her. Blood splattered the wall as I crawled to my feet. I slung the woman's 30-30 lever action over my shoulder before starting my climb back to the second floor. Before I could check on the others I heard gunshots and yelling from outside.

"No!" I ran through the fire door to the outside. My eyes widened as four big trucks rolled up and busted through the metal gate. As people started piling out the back myself and a few of the the hill top people shot at the Saviors. How the hell did they get here so fast?
