Leo couldn't believe in the situation he was in

Leo couldn't believe in the situation he was in. He couldn't assimilate what Rick was telling him, Daryl and Hershel. Leo grew up in the gang life along with Jisung and they had to do a lot of shit things in their lives, but what Rick wanted to do was beyond everything he could imagine.

"It's the only way." Rick told the three men "No one else knows."

"You ganna tell em?" Daryl asked the ex sheriff "Because to tell you the truth Rick, I hate lying to my daughter."

Leo nodded agreeing with the redneck "Yeah, I'm not okay with hiding things from Athena and Ji."

Rick nodded understanding them "Not till after. We have to do it today. It has to be quiet."

Daryl nodded slightly as he pushed his lips into a thin line "You got a plan?"

"We tell her we need to talk. Away from the others." The ex sheriff explained to them.

Leo didn't liked that plan at all. No matter the things they have done so far, this wasn't them.

"Just ain't us, man." Daryl shared the same thoughts as the buff boy.

"We do this, we avoid a fight." Rick told them while looking into Daryl's green eyes. "No one else dies."

Leo scoffed at the ex sheriff and shook his head "Rick if you truly believe that, then you're an idiot. We all know that by handing Michonne to that prick... it won't end Rick. Things will get worse."

Rick shook his head and looked at the teenage boy "And what if we actually end this. By doing this everyone here-" The ex sheriff pointed towards the prison "-everyone that we love... Athena, Jisung-"

Leo glared at the man "Rick don't you dare mention my brother and Athena like that. You have no right to use them against me like that! That is a low blow man! Low blow!" He snarled at his leader and started pacing around, while trying to calm himself.

Rick took a deep breath, trying to calm himself as he realized what he did "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound like that." Leo turned around and looked at his leader "But I do believe that if we do this. We can end this and no one else will die."

Leo gritted his teeth and looked towards Daryl and then at Hershel, and back at Rick. The buff boy wasn't stupid he could see it in his eyes. No matter what Rick wasn't a monster.

"If you truly believed that-" Leo walked closer to Rick and looked him right in the eyes "-why do I see hesitation in your eyes then?" He walked around his leader and walked inside the prison leaving the three men outside.

Later that day Maggie, Carl, Jisung and Athena were distracting the walkers in the infested yard.

Glenn, Daryl, Leo and Michonne were out in the yard laying out spike strips in case the Governor's men came through and they hoped the spikes would blow the tires off their vehicles.
