Mi Amor ~ Daryl Dixon

Chapter Twenty-Four

It was a few days later and the group finally was going to have a talk with the governor. They pulled up quietly, the meeting place was full of silos.

Hershel pulled the car to a stop, Daryl and Rick stepped out running quietly to the building.

Hershel and Adrianna drove off, slowly. They circled the meeting place keeping their eyes open. No one was there yet. Something was wrong.

They pulled to a stop where they first started.

Daryl came running out from behind a silo. Rick wasn't with him. "He's already in there." He points to a building in the back. "Just sat down with Rick."

Adrianna nods, her nerves were high at the mention of the governor. "We didn't see any cars."

He nods. "It don't feel right. Keep it running." He says, his eyes scanning the trees.

A car rumbling from a far caught their attention.

"Heads up!" Daryl hit the hood of the car. Adrianna stepped out quickly raising her crossbow. The truck in front of them pulled to a stop.

A guard and a nerd looking guy stepped out of the car with Andrea.

"What the hell? Why's your boy already in there?" Daryl asks, weapon aimed at them.

"He's here?" Andrea asks, suprised.

"Yup."

Andrea looked over to the guard, his lips had a slight smile. They lied to her. She shook her head and took off to go talk to them.

————————

"Maybe I should go inside." Hershel suggested after Andrea went in.

The nerdy looking guy from earlier looked them up and down and wrote some notes. "The governor thought it best if he and Rick spoke privately." He wrote another note down.

"Who the hell are you?" Adrianna asks, his questioning gaze made her uncomfortable.

"Milton Mamet."

Daryl scoffed. "Great, he brought his butler." A small laugh fell from the governors guards lips.

"I'm his advisor."

"What kind of advice?"

"Planning, biters, uh you know Im sorry." He lifted his head to look at them. "I don't feel like I need to explain myself to the henchman."

"You better watch your mouth sunshine." Daryl growled taking a step closer.

The guard stood up at his action. "Look if you and I are gonna be out here pointing guns at each other all day, do me a favor and shut your mouth." Daryl walked into his face.

"We don't need this." Adrianna says coming between them. "If all goes south in there, we'll be at each other's throats soon enough." She pushes Daryl back.

————————

"There's no reason we can't use the time we have together to explore the issues ourselves ." Milton walked up to them.

"Boss said to sit tight and shut up." The guard looked to Milton as if he were crazy.

"Don't you mean the governor?" Daryl asks, receiving a glare from the governor's people.
