Don't Hurt Her!

Negan's P.O.V

Maggie and I were nearly to our destination. We're currently on a boat crossing the river to step foot on New York's grounds. I haven't said a single word since she threatened me,

Maggie:"Try to run, I will shoot you."

I looked at her then rolled my eyes as I held up my hands.

Maggie:"Since you've been quiet, I'll allow you to speak."
Me:"Fucking finally, why would I run? There's nothing here for me."
Maggie:"Croat."
Me:"Besides him."
Maggie:"For your sake, you better hope Spitfire didn't follow us."
Me:"If she's smart she would stay behind."
Maggie:"Why did Croat mention you to me?"
Me:"Oh like I owe you an explanation."
Maggie:"You do. Now tell me."

I huffed then crossed my arms,

Me:"Very well."

Spitfire's P.O.V

Chris:"Are we there yet? I feel so damn cramped back here."
Me:"Nearly there, I'm sure you can handle thirty more minutes."
Chris:"I don't think I can."
Arat:"Don't push it Chris, she's not in the mood."
Chris:"Right.."

I leaned my head against my hand as a river slightly came into view, many scenarios crossed my mind and all of them ended with Negan dying. Tightening my grip on the wheel I spoke up,

Me:"Chris get the bags ready, we'll be leaving the truck behind in a few minutes."
Chris:"What? Are we walking the rest of the way?"
Me:"Not at first."
Chris:"Huh?"

I sighed lowly as I stopped the truck then shut the engine off, I removed the keys from the ignition then placed them up in the visor above my head before getting out of the truck. I looked over seeing Maggie's truck along with a boat near the shoreline.

Arat:"We'll carry the bags but now what boss?"
Me:"We're getting on that boat."
Chris:"I don't do well with boats.."
Me:"Time to suck it up Chris, that's our only way across the river. We need to catch up to them."
Chris:"Fine.."

I began walking down the path and onto rocks, when I reached the boat both Chris and Arat tossed the bags on board then helped me push the boat into the water before we climbed inside. I stood at the front of the boat as Arat started the engine. During our small ride I began thinking of ways to catch up to them but came up with nothing, I don't know my way through New York and I'm sure neither does the other two. When we reached the dock I was quick to get out as Chris handed the bags to me before getting off the boat with Arat, once they took the bags we began walking around the empty streets. Each block had a huge group of walkers which didn't make our journey easier.

Negan's P.O.V

I strolled behind Maggie as I glanced around at our surroundings. Off in the distance I noticed black smoke coming out of the roof of a building that was maybe twenty blocks from where we are.

Maggie:"He said he would be here!"
Me:"Maybe he's late."
Maggie:"Shut up!"
Me:"It was a suggestion."
Maggie:"No more talking, Negan I mean it."

Rolling my eyes I kept my mouth shut as we kept walking.

Spitfire's P.O.V

Arat and Chris stayed close to me as we made our way inside a building to lose the herd that was following us.

Arat:"We'll probably be here for awhile, hasn't reached the end of the herd yet."
Me:"Great.."
Chris:"Don't worry we'll catch up to them."
Me:"No, we probably won't."
Arat:"Hey don't think like that."
Me:"How can I not? He didn't want me to tag along, I think he knew he is going to die."
Arat:"He won't. We're going to make it in time so don't give up now."
