46) Let Me Go

Inside the prison, Glenn had everyone doing an inventory of all the guns. Alicia was grabbing them out a bag, checking their clips.

Glenn had instructed Carl and Beth to stash ammo in different places, just in case they were compromised. He was about to work on the cages outside before Merle cut in.

"What we should be doing, is loading some of this firepower in a truck, and paying a visit to the governor." He said. "We know where he is right now."

"You suggesting that we just go in and kill him?" Glenn scoffed.

"Yeah." Merle snapped. "I am."

"We told Rick and Daryl that we'd stay put." Michonne spoke up.

Alicia nodded. "Your brother trusted me to keep your little show off the road."

"I've changed my mind sweetheart." Merle sighed. "Being on the sideline with my brother out there..." he shook his head. "Ain't sitting right with me."

Alicia sighed. "I'm not doing this. Daryl said-"

"Baby Daryl ain't your boss." Merle cut her off. "God you act like the man dictates everything you do."

Alicia clenched her teeth. "Excuse me for caring about the man I'm having a baby with." She snapped.

"Honey do you really want that baby?" Alicia couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Yes!" She yelled. "Of fucking course I want this baby! There is not another man in this whole fucked up world that I would rather have a baby with!" She shook her head. "Damn!"

Alicia groaned, storming out of the room. How could Daryl's own brother be this much of an ass? I mean... common decency man.

"If you're gonna life with us it's gonna be on our terms. If Michonne can do it why can't you?" Alicia asked, hands on her hips.

Merle was packing a bag to go out and kill the Governor. Glenn had already tried, and failed, to talk some sense into him.

"Cause that's my brother out there that's why!" He yelled. "What the matter with yall!?"

He walked up the stairs towards Glenn, obviously on a mission. Alicia sighed. Why was Merle so fucking difficult?

"I'm not gonna let you put them in danger." Glenn said calmly.

"Nut up already boy. This guy cops a feel of your best friend and you pussy out like this? Get outta my way."

Glenn shook his head. "No."

Alicia blinked and they were fighting. She shared a look with Maggie. She just shook her head. "Let them fight it out."

Alicia rolled her eyes, watching as Glenn struggled. It was mildly entertaining she had to admit.

"Oh shit." She stepped in when she realized Merle was holding his little knife up to Glenn's throat.

Maggie jumped on his back, pulling him into a headlock. Alicia and Michonne were holding both of his arms behind his back.

There attentions were grabbed by a loud gunshot. They turned to see Beth pointing a gun at the ceiling.

Merle struggled under their grasps. "Let me go. Let me go!"
