It doesn't take the group long to find the building where the gunfire came from.
They huddle outside of a small window.
They can hear voices and footsteps getting closer.
Rick nods and the others throw some of the smoke grenades they have at the Woodbury soldiers.
Smoke fills the air. The soldiers cough and shout.
Y/N spots Maggie and a shirtless, bloody-faced Glenn.
Her and Daryl grab them and they quickly leave the building as gunfire shoots at them.
They sprint down the streets of the community. Rick leads them inside a building.
Daryl scopes it out. "Ain't no way out back here."
Maggie drops to the floor next to Glenn who winces in pain. "Rick, how did you find us?"
He doesn't answer her. "How bad are you hurt?" He asks Glenn.
"I'll be alright."
Maggie looks around. "Where's that woman?"
Y/N looks for Michonne but can't find her. "She was right behind us."
Oscar sighs. "Maybe she was spotted. Want me to go look for her?"
Rick shakes his head. "No. We gotta get them out of here. She's on her own."
Glenn grunts, sitting up against a counter. "Daryl, this was Merle. He did this."
Y/N's jaw drops.
Merle Dixon? The man who Rick handcuffed to the roof in Atlanta? The man who cut off his own hand? The man who stole their truck? That Merle?
"You saw him?" Rick asks.
"Face to face. He threw a walker at me. He was gonna execute us."
Daryl inches closer. "So- so my brothers this governor?"
"No. It's somebody else." Maggie says. "Your brothers his lieutenant or something."
Glenn puts on a jacket that Maggie hands him. His face is swollen.
They were really tortured.
"Does he know i'm still with you?" Daryl asks.
"He does now. Rick, i'm sorry. We told him where the prison was. We couldn't hold out." Glenn says.
"No need to apologize." Rick replies.
"They're gonna be looking for us." Maggie says.
Y/N glances out the window. "We have to get back. Glenn, can you walk?"
He nods. Maggie and Rick help him stand.
"Hey, if Merle's around, I need to see him." Daryl says.
"Not now. We're in hostile territory." Rick tells him.
"He's my brother. I ain't-"
"Look at what he did." Rick whisper-shouts. "We gotta get out of here now."
Daryl shakes his head. "Maybe I can talk to him. Maybe I can work something out."
"No, no, no. You're not thinking straight." He pulls Daryl further away from the others.
They talk quietly for a minute before Daryl nods.
The group quickly forms a plan. Y/N wraps Glenn's arm around her shoulder. Maggie does the same.
Rick opens the door that leads outside and Daryl tosses another smoke bomb.
They exit the building silently. Rick, Daryl, and Oscar have their guns raised.
They fire out at the Woodbury soldiers. They fire back.
Y/N looks over at Maggie. "Go, I got him!"
Maggie hesitantly lets go of Glenn and takes Y/N's gun.
Y/N holds up Glenn, barely standing herself. She pulls him into a doorway for cover. She can see all her other people across the street, doing the same.
They reload their weapons.
Daryl tosses another smoke grenade and Y/N takes the opportunity to make a move.
She strengthens her grip on her friend and walks as quickly as she can with him.
They make it to the front gate. Oscar stands on top of a white bus. He reaches down for them. Y/N helps Glenn up first.
Once he's up, Oscar reaches his hands down for Y/N when suddenly a bullet enters his torso. He yells in agony and falls to the ground.
"Oscar!" Y/N crouches beside him, holding his gunshot wound trying to stop the bleeding.
Maggie crawls up to Glenn.
Y/N inhales sharply as Oscar takes his final breath. She unsheathes her knife and slams it into his head to prevent him from turning.
"Rick!" Y/N shouts. He's still standing on the streets of Woodbury.
Her voice seems to shake him out of whatever he was doing. He quickly makes his way to the bus, climbing up to where Y/N is now at.
"Daryl!" Rick yells. He's covering for them down below.
"Go!" He shouts back.
So they do.
They make it all the way outside the gate and hide behind an abandoned car.
"Cmon, Daryl." Y/N whispers to herself.
Leaves suddenly rustle and they snap around to find Michonne.
She's covered in blood and cuts.
Rick cocks his gun and aims it at her head. "Where the hell were you?"
Maggie also holds up the gun she took from Y/N earlier when they were being attacked.
Y/N leans Glenn against the side of the car before standing up near Rick.
He makes Michonne turn around so he can grab her sword.
Once he has it, he speaks. "Get what you came for?"
"Where are the rest of your people?" She asks.
"They got Oscar..." Y/N mumbles.
"Daryl is missing. Did you see him?" Maggie asks Michonne.
She shakes her head.
"If anything happens to him-" Rick starts.
Michonne cuts him off. "I brought you here to save them."
He tilts his head. "Thanks for the help."
"You'll need help getting them back to the prison." She says. "Or to go back in there for Daryl. Either way, you need me."
Rick glances at Y/N who nods at him in return.
He turns back to look at Michonne. "Okay."
