Athena and Carl were joined by Paul in the truck. She asked him about Maggie and the baby and thankfully they were okay. Athena was getting her bow ready, when she saw Jesus holding a syrup bottle upside down and letting all out of the truck.

She and Carl looked at him with confused expressions written on their faces.

"What are you doing?" Athena asked.

Paul turned around and then back in front of him "Making a trail," He answered her "I think we're close. We should bail out, follow the rest of the way, see what we can see."

Both Carl and Athena looked at each other. They didn't tell Jesus of their plan going to Negan themselves.

"How?" Carl asked, going along with it.

"It isn't usually the fall that gets us. It's trying to fight it. Run with it or roll with it. The truck's going slow enough. We'll be in the blind spot. We can race behind one of the other cars."

"But, I-I-If... If I screw up and we get caught-"

Paul interrupted Carl "It'll be fine. We just got to go now."

Carl looked at Athena, then back at Paul "Okay. Show us first and we'll go."

With that, Paul rolled out of the truck and rolled over behind one of the cars. Both Athena and Carl peeked over and saw Paul and Athena mouthed an 'I'm sorry' to the man.

They went back to their 'battle stations' and Carl grabbed a gun, while Athena got her bow ready.

Soon enough, the truck had stopped and they could hear Negan outside. Carl and Athena both hid behind the large boxes and waited. Someone had come inside the truck and then saw Carl, to which he immediately shot him down and both Carl and Athena got out of their spots and headed out, stepping over the dead man's body.

"Stay back!" Carl yelled at everyone there.

"Everyone, drop your weapons. Now!" Athena ordered.

 Now!" Athena ordered
