GUARDIANS

WOODS

The Whisperers are slowly stalking their way through the woods.

Alpha: They made you remove your mask?

Lydia: They made me take it off, hid it.

Alpha: The ones who made the trade? The blonde one was ready to fight to keep you. Why?

Lydia looks at her

Lydia: I acted like I needed his help.

Alpha: Did he touch you?

Lydia: No.

Alpha: Did you tell him about us?

Lydia: That there are only a few of us. That I hated living like this. I lied to get them to trust me. Except for one thing. I said they shouldn't cross you

Alpha steps in front of her.

Alpha: What did you find out?

Lydia: They have mostly farmland. Some supplies. Their weapons are basic. A few guns but not enough.

Alpha: Any sign of trade?

Lydia: No. I don't think so

Alpha: The ones who made the trade, they spoke highly of the one called Vivian as if we should fear her. Who is she?

Lydia: She's the one who took my mask. She's the leader of another community.

Alpha: Is she their strongest? Is she their Alpha?

Lydia: I think so. Yes.

Alpha: What else?

Lydia: That's it.

Alpha: That's it!

Lydia flinches at her angry tone.

Alpha: I broke my rules coming to get you. What do I get in return? Excuses. Wasted words. Rumors of a rival to me. Another Alpha. This Vivian, is she their greatest warrior?

Lydia: Yes I think so. I'm sorry, Alpha.

Alpha leans in inches from her face. Lydia shallows a gulp fearfully.

Lydia: Is that the only reason you came to get me? To get information?

Alpha: What a stupid question.

She turn and slowly walks away with Lydia slowly following behind her.

ALEXANDRIA

Michonne and Annabelle are looking down at the radio that's laid out on the table.

Annabelle: Who else knew about this?

The Council stands around in front of the table. Vivian sighs running her hand across her face.

Vivian: Just Eugene and Rosy.

Gabriel: And I knew as well. We would've told you if we'd found someone out there.

Michonne and Annabelle sighs sharing a look with each other.

Vivian: But we didn't.

Michonne: Then who knows who else was listening?

Vivian: We weren't being stupid about, mom.

Michonne raises her eyebrow sending her a look, Lyla and Aaron snickers at the look across Vivian's face.

Michonne: Rosita and Eugene went out to set up this relay and almost died because of it, honey. Jesus died because of it.

Shaun sighs looking down as Aaron places his hand on his shoulder.
