Ron looked at himself in the mirror, his blond hair a mess.

"Fuck this." He whispered to himself, looking down at the map on the dresser. He traced his finger across the road, moving all the way from the sanctuary to Alexandria.

It had only been a few months since he had moved to the sanctuary, and he wasn't sure how he felt about this place. The people weren't like those in Alexandria, there was something more sinister about this place.

"Everyone that's anyone, get your ass in the meeting room. Now!" Negan demanded over the radio, obviously angry.
What was going on? Was he in trouble? He didn't know, but he guessed he was someone who was anyone.

-

Ron cautiously opened the door of the meeting room, hoping he wasn't the first or the last to arrive.

"Ronnie boy! There you are. You've been holding us up. Time is of the essence in this situation. Come sit. Quick." Negan said, gesturing to the seat next to him that Simon usually sat in.

Ron sat down without a word, looking at the group.
Simon looked pissed, and Dwight was nowhere to be seen.

"As I'm sure you all have noticed, Dwight isn't here. Do you know why that is?" Negan said, being meet with silence by his lieutenants.
"HE FUCKING RAN AWAY!" He yelled, slamming Lucille on the table in anger.

Ron jumped at the sudden noise, quickly moving his hands off the table.

"Sorry kid. I'm a little worked up. Anyway, he left. He took Tina and Sherry with him. And all our insulin. We need to find him. Got it? Good. You bring him back? You get a reward." Negan explained, keeping a calmer tone.

"Alright everybody. Chop chop. Get to it. The longer you wait the farther he'll get. Let's move people." Simon said, moving everyone out.

"Hey! Ron! Come here. I need a word." Negan said, stopping him before he left.
"Yeah?" Ron said, turning around.
The last of the other saviors exited the room.
"Shut the door." He said.
Ron did so, standing at the opposite end of the table.
"Come here kiddo." Negan said, waving him over.
Ron made his way over, standing next to him.

Negan stood up, Lucille in his hand.
"Look, I know I do things sometimes. Things that might be scary for some people. And yeah, sometimes people do get hurt. But not you. Ok? You have nothing to worry about. You're just a kid. And I like you." Negan said, putting his hand on his shoulder.
