Borrowed Time | Ellie Williams x Male Reader

Chapter 5

A man with fancy clothes and messy hair stepped out of the car, putting his arm on the door to lean on it.

"If it isn't my dear Y/N L/N, huh?"

Y/N: And who are you?

"Call me Tyler, you're gonna see me quite often from here on."

Y/N: I don't think so.

I said as my hand wandered over to my gun but he was quicker and pulled his gun on me.

Tyler: Let's not shoot each other in front of your son, what kind of animal are you?

Y/N: You're the one threatening us.

Tyler: You didn't even give me a chance to tell you what I came here for. I'm not interested in you or your son. But...fact is, you've been robbing Negan for quite some time and he's getting a little pissy about it. And, you know, if Negan gets pissy, everybody suffers.

Y/N: Why would I care about Negan's feelings?

Tyler: Because I'm going to tell him where your new little camp is located and he's gonna pay you a visit. And trust me, you don't want him to pay you a visit, not one bit.

Y/N: We fended off worse.

Tyler: Nah, I don't think you did. You may have been good in killing walkers and robbing people but that's about it.

Y/N: You don't wanna find out how good I am in killing Negan's pawns.

Tyler: You're right, I don't. That's why I came here to make you a proposal.

Y/N: What kind of proposal?

Tyler: Give us Zack, and you guys will be spared.

Y/N: You want us to give you our leader?

Tyler: That's right, that's exactly what we want.

Y/N: That won't happen, pal.

He chuckled.

Tyler: I give you a week. If Zack won't show up at our doorstep tied up, you're gonna feel Negan's wrath.

He got back into his car and rolled down his window as he started his engine again.

Tyler: One week, Y/N.

He warned, raising his finger in the air before driving away.

JJ: Who was that man?

Y/N: Nobody important, come on, let's get back to Mom.

Back at the camp

Y/N: Zack! We need to talk.

I said as I walked up to his tent after dropping JJ off by our own tent.

Zack: What is it, Y/N?

He asked as he counted caps inside of an opened strongbox.

Y/N: We have a problem.

Zack: Do you want to tell me about Steve, Glenn and Luke botching the train robbery? I know that already, and yes, you might've been the better pick.

Y/N: Botched? How?

Zack: They robbed the folks and got ambushed by Negan's men, the shootout caused a bunch of civilians to die...Glenn and Luke died as well.

Y/N: What? Glenn and Luke died?

Zack: Yeah...now I gotta explain to Lee and the others why I sent them out on such a..."dangerous" mission. Those guys were fucking idiots. You, Steve and I would've robbed that train without leaving a trace but that's what happens when you send out amateurs to a pro's game.
