From where the last one left off, Ian stands eyeing the men on bikes, scanning his eyes down the line of bikes, all the men are equipped with automatic rifles.

Man: Now if you would raise your hands up above over those pretty locks of yours, that would be lovely, pretty boy. You're someone our person wants to know. So let's get that sidearm of yours, shall we?

Ian sighs flipping his handgun over and hands it into the man's hand who chuckles.

Man: Knew you would be agreeable, pretty boy.

Ian narrows his eyes glaring at the man who smirks.

Man: If you have to eat shit, best not to nibble. Bite, chew, shallow, repeat. It goes quicker

Ian: Thanks for the advice. Now suck it

He quickly pulls out a second handgun from the back of his waistband and shoots the man right in the forehead. He moves the gun around squeezing the trigger, hitting the men right between the eyes knocking them all back onto the road, dead.

Ian: Fuck Negan.

ALEXANDRIA

Deanna grabs onto the ladder leading to the lookout perch and begins slowly climbing upward. Grady is standing guard in front of the gate, rifle in hand.

Michonne: The town was overrun. They spilt off. Brian went with Nicholas. Glenn went by himself.

Down on the street, Michonne are telling Maggie and a teary eyed Lyla who has her arms crossed over her chest, head hung low as a lone tear rolls down her cheek.

Maggie: They had one of their stupid ideas that........if they lit fires, it would stop the walkers from coming here.

Rick approaches Grady at the gate

Rick: Any sign of Ian?

Grady: No, nothing so fa-----

OPEN THE GATE!!! OPEN THE GATE!!

Everyone turns their gazes down the street seeing Ian running towards the community.

Ian: OPEN THE GATE!!!

Ian is running down the street with walkers snarling behind him. Rick and Grady goes wide eyed in shock and disbelief.

Rick: OPEN THE GATE!!! WEAPONS UP!!

Ian moves to the side avoiding the hands of a walker as his boots stomps on the ground as he runs faster.

Ian: OPEN THE FUCKING GATE NOW!!!

Grady unlocks the gate and slides it open. Ian rams his shoulder into a walker knocking it down as he runs past.

Vivian, Lyla, Maggie, and Annabelle runs up to the gate just as Ian leaps inside the gate, Grady slides it closed just as walkers appears and locks it.

Rick grabs his brother's hand helping him to his feet. Ian is covered in sweat when Annabelle lunges nearly tackling him in a bone crushing hug, he hugs her right back tightly.

Ian: We're gonna have a big fucking problem.

Everyone frowns their brows looking at each other in confusion.

LATER

Dozens of walkers are all gathered up along the wall snarling and growling loudly.

Inside, people are standing alongside the wall along the street. Rick and Ian walks up towards them side by side. Rosita wraps her arm around Vivian's shoulder who leans into her body, Rosita kisses her on the side of the head.
