078. THEY TOOK MY WIFE

Chapter seventy eight

"They took my wife."

Having been walking through the woods, two of the saviors that were walking with them were groaning in pain "stop. Stop. We gotta stop." one of them said "we can't stop. Especially not with this bitch with us." the one holding the gun to her back said "but two of them are bit, Jared!" one of them voiced "where?" Scarlett asked "keep your mouth shut." Jared told her, jabbing the gun into her back "only asking cause if it's their arm or leg I can chop it off. Tie a tourniquet around it and you all live and not get eaten by your dead friends. Your choice." Scarlett shared.

And as she did, the men all looked at each other "fine. But do it quickly and no funny business!" Jared told her, grabbed her by the arm and dragging her off, the others followed, where as they made it out of the woods, they made it to a road where there was a parked car, as the two who were injured were leaned against the car that was there "we'll do the one with the arm first. Someone need's to hold him down, another needs to put their belt around his arm and tie it tight. Same with the one with the leg." Scarlett shared, as everyone began to move doing so.

Jared then kicked her in the leg, Scarlett fell to her knees, scraping her hands against the pavement "dude, she helping us!" the one to her left voiced "shut up!" Jared voiced, aiming the gun at Scarlett's head "you pull that machete out and you chop off our friends limbs that's it. Nothing else or I shoot you." he shared, as Scarlett pulled out her machete, one of the guys held the arm out, another was holding him down "seeing as I'm Scarlett Grimes, Negan wouldn't exactly be happy about that." she shared, swinging her machete down, chopping the man's arm off "wrap something around it to stop any extra bleeding." she shared.

Turning to the one with a bite on the leg, one of them was holding him down, as Scarlett swung the machete, chopping off his leg, blood was all over her hands "now drop it and get up!" Jared voiced, as Scarlett dropped her machete, she stood up, holding her hands in the air again, Jared then jabbed her in the back with the gun "walk." he told her, as Scarlett began walking again, the six others followed behind as they grabbed their injured friends and carried them off.

They soon made it to warehouse, as Jared shoved Scarlett to the ground, her hat fell off her head "tie her up." he told them, as two of them lied their friend down, they then found something to tie Scarlett's hands together, as they forced her to sit up and tied her hands to the shelf behind her, one of them picked her hat up and put it back on her head, where it covered her eyes and as it did, Scarlett's eyes began to close as she fell asleep.

Meanwhile, back at the hilltop, Rick waited the night but was now going out to get her, as he walked into the room they were staying in, and up to the closet, he grabbed his jacket out of it and put it on, as he turned grabbing his rifle, he walked out of the room, heading outside, he walked toward's the cage where the saviors were kept, seeing the exact one who told Maggie about Scarlett going missing "where'd they go?" he asked him "I already told Maggie every.." Alden told him "the woman they took was my wife. My pregnant wife. So your gonna tell me." Rick shared.

"Sanctuary's our best guess. It's pretty much our only guess. There'd been some talk about trying to get out but it was just talk, nothing specific. Thinking they had plans gave em too much credit. They saw an opening, and they took it and her." Alden shared "what if it was you? How'd you get back there? They're on foot. They're not gonna take a risk with Scarlett as they're prisoner. One of them's probably injured. Maybe you need a place to hold up figure things out." Rick shared "there's an old dive bar three miles off edgehill parkway. Some of them, uh, took me there once. They wanted my expert opinion on what it'd take to turn the place into an outpost. It's between her and there," Alden shared.
