The strange walkers were approaching the group, it was almost impossible to try and figure out which ones were real walkers and which were fake.
"Go now." Michonne whispered and the group slowly dispersed.
Daryl shot a walker that was holding a knife before stabbing another.
"We have to take Jesus!" Athena shouted before stabbing a walker "We ain't leavin him!"
"We got him." Daryl said and went to pick up the body with Aaron "Come on, let's go."
Athena, Leo and Blake followed behind them and went out the gates.

The younger Grimes' finger hovers over the trigger, her mind racing.
Judith lifts her gun, eyes narrowing as she watches Negan attempting to climb up the walls of Alexandria.
The sight puzzles her; she doesn't understand how he managed to free himself, but she knows one thing for certain: he isn't leaving.
"Thought you were smarter than this. Guess not," she retorts, a raised eyebrow conveying her skepticism.
Negan sighs deeply, his body visibly relaxing as he climbs down to face her, trying to mask the weariness in his eyes. "You're not gonna shoot me, kid."
Judith, surprised by his confidence, straightens her posture. "Um, yeah. I will."
"I'm not going back. So you just pull that trigger if that's what you're gonna do, little lady." His words challenge her, and she responds by placing her finger on the trigger, just as her brother had taught her. "How 'bout this? How 'bout I go my way, you go yours, and we never see each other again?"
Judith tilts her head slightly, indicating for him to step away from the wall. "How 'bout no?"
Negan takes a deep breath, looking around with a bittersweet smile.
"You know, when your mom and dad locked me up, they told me I was gonna be good for something, that I would help people see that things could change. And they did. Holy shit, did they ever. For everybody but me. I mean, look around..." He gestures towards their fortified surroundings, the walls standing tall and impenetrable. "Alexandria is a goddamn Wonderland. Your mom and your brother made this happen." He chuckles dryly, a sound devoid of real humor. "But my part? It's just four walls and a bedpan."
Judith shrugs nonchalantly. "My mom makes the rules. Rules are rules."
"But you can. You know, it's just like when we have our little chats together. You're not letting me go. You're just not seeing me leave."
"You know, there's nothing out there for you. For anyone."
"Now... You know me. You know me better than anyone's known me in a very long time. So... I promise..." Negan speaks, removing the hat from his head as he stares deeply into her eyes, his gaze intense and earnest. "I promise you that I'm not gonna hurt anyone. Even if they try to hurt me, I promise you, I won't hurt them. But... I gotta go."
