Thinking the threat was gone, they all went back to their lives in Alexandria. They had thought they killed Negan. That they rid the world of the Saviors. Soon they'd realize how wrong they were. And the threat was much bigger than any of them could've imagined. None of them would be ready for it. But that threat was still ways away.
And as of this moment, they had nothing to worry about. They were now getting supplies from the Hilltop and they didn't have to worry about getting food for a while. Rosita and Hunter were making their way over to Denise's place.
"So I was thinking–"
"That's always great, your thoughts always seem to entertain me," Rosita smiles at him as they walk down the streets.
Hunter feigns a chuckle, "You are just so funny. You're just always brightening up my day."
Rosita laughs, "What were you thinking?"
"Since the world is over, do we have to like go on dates?" Hunter wondered, he didn't know why it was a thought in his mind but it was, "Like in the old world I would ask you to dinner but now if I wanted to go on a date with you would it be going on runs? Or keeping watch together?"
"Like I said your thoughts always entertain me," Rosita walks up the stairs to the porch and turns to him, "Why are you thinking about that?"
Hunter purses his lips, "If I'm being honest with you I have no idea. But now it's an actual question and I'd like an answer."
"Okay."
Hunter opens his mouth but closes it. His brows pull together as he looks down at her, "Okay?"
"We'll do dinner."
Hunter stood there smiling from ear to ear, "Okay. Dinner it is. I can make a killer mac and cheese."
"I'm sure you can."
Hunter's eyes travelled behind Rosita to see Denies standing there with a map in her hands. Rosita turns and crosses her arms, "I didn't hear you guys."
"Okay. Today's lesson will be in the cul-de-sac," Rosita informs her.
"Actually, can we do something else?"Denies asks.
"You want us to go on a run or something?" Hunter asks her and she nods, "Let's go find Daryl."
Hunter turns on his feet and walks to the stair with the two woman following behind him. They didn't need to look for long, Daryl was right outside his place.
"After I got out of DC, I just drove. I remember seeing it right when I realized I had no idea where I was going," Denise starts explaining to them, "Edison's Apothecary and Boutique. It's just this little gift shop in a strip mall, but if it's really an apotthecary, they had drugs."
"How do you know they still got 'em?" Daryl asks.
"It isn't that far. I just wanna check. And you guys aren't out scavenging or pulling shifts."
Daryl nods his head, "We'll go."
"I wanted to check," Denise says, "I just wanted to help."
"How much time have you spent out there?" Hunter asks her.
"None."
"Forget it."
"I can ID the med. I know how to use a machete now. I've seen roamers up close," Denise says trying to convince them, "I'm ready."
Hunter glances over at Rosita who stood there with her arms crossed over her chest, "You good with this?"
"No."
