Shane heard the car engine shutting off, so he looked around and noticed they had arrived to wherever this king was.  Delilah's head perked up beside him.

"It's called the Kingdom?" Rick asked.

"Yeah. I didn't name it." Jesus said, defending himself playfully.

"How much farther? Shane asked.

"Well, technically, we're already here" Jesus answered her.

"I mean, we're always here, but here we are...At the Kingdom. Well, its outer edge." He said.

"Hey, what the hell we waitin' on?" Daryl asked, peeking through the window of the car.

"Waiting for them." Jesus said pointing to two riders that were coming towards them. Shane heard hoofbeats approaching, and then a horse snorting.

"Who dares to trespass on the sovereign land of the-Oh, shit. Jesus, is that you?" The man exclaimed.

"Who are these people, Paul?" He asked.

"Hi, Richard. Nice to see you." Jesus greeted.

"It's good to see you, too." The man, Richard, replied. "Your friends, who are they?" Richard asked again.

"This is Rick Grimes. He's the leader of a like-minded community. These are some of his people. We would like to request an audience with King Ezekiel." Jesus explained.

"You say they're a...like-minded community. Like-minded how?" Richard asked, suspiciously.

"We live, we trade, we fight the dead. Sometimes others." Rick shrugged.

"Okay. This is a waste of time." He said annoyed.

"Come on. Let's go." He demanded impatiently.

"Maybe you're right. The King is a busy man." Richard retorted.

"And it's a dangerous world. We don't usually allow a pack of strangers to waltz through our door." Richard hissed.

"We want to make the world less dangerous, and we are all here to show the King how serious we are about it." Rick interfered.

"The car stays outside You gotta hand over the guns." Richard demanded.

"We only have two." The Grimes said, grabbing Carl's gun and handing it to them.

"Okay. Follow me." The man said and they followed. Arriving at the community, Delilah was mesmerized by how organized the community was, it was similar to Alexandria and Hilltop.

"They have the numbers." Sasha commented as her eyes trailed the place.

"But can they fight?" Rosita hissed, crossing her arms in front of her chest, cockily.
