"None of you guys are sick though." Carol spoke to Rick specifically.
"Yeah. It's been a day. If it was like a bite we'd definitely feel it by now. Whatever is in that hospital affects Ron and the walkers." Rick replied, Michonne by him. Everyone was discussing what the hell was wrong with that hospital, and why exactly it had the effect it did on Ron. Having been present in the hospital, Negan was there now with his hand handcuffed to the stair railing.

"It makes sense I guess. Whatever makes walker's obviously affects him differently than the rest of us. Something in there made that walker a runner. Probably the same thing that him so sick." Heath thought out loud.
"Do you guys think this is like a 'you have to be bit for it to make you sick' situation or a 'you have to be immune' situation?" Mikey asked the group.

"What difference does it make?" Enid rolled her eyes. "Well just think about for a second. If it's a 'you have to be immune' situation then theoretically.. say maybe I'm immune too but I haven't been bitten.. could I go in there and I would get sick? But like.. not risk dying if I'm not immune like a bite?" He tried his best to explain his theory.

The room went quiet.

"That might be the smartest thing you've ever said Mikey." Tobin was honestly proud of his son.
"Thanks." He smiled.
"That most certainly doesn't mean it's true. I think this is probably a 'you have to be immune and bit' situation. Now.. if Simon was still alive.." Eugene went quiet as he thought about the experiments he could run.

"If Simon was still alive I'd strangle him myself." Negan chimed in. He was really hoping this wasn't a 'you have to be immune' situation. He hadn't gotten sick, and he was still holding out hope that maybe, just maybe he was like Ron. "Not if I did first." Enid remembered what a number he did on Ron before Carl killed him.

The door opened, Ron dragging himself in.
"Why aren't you in bed?" Negan and Mikey asked him simultaneously. He was quiet, making his way over to Negan. He put his arms around him in a hug before he spoke. "You didn't come see me." He whispered as he hugged him. "I tried. I wasn't allowed." He explained as he hugged him back with his free arm. Ron was angry about that, but he didn't have the energy to deal with it now.

"Are you feeling any better, little man?" Jerry asked the boy as he leaned on Negan.
He nodded. "Yeah. I'm just tired. It's not like being bit." He told him.
"See? He doesn't feel like he was bit. You guys will be fine." Benjamin smiled. He could tell Henry was worried, and he was trying to ease his nerves.

"I feel like I was hit by a truck." He claimed.
"Yet you still came all the way here from the infirmary." Mikey whispered to himself. There was plenty of men he could look to for a father that wasn't Negan, so why his friend insisted on choosing him still puzzled him.
"I didn't have much choice apparently." He thought it was their fault for not allowing Negan to visit him. Mikey sighed as he watched his best friend whisper back and forth with Negan.
