Flashback from the end of the last chapter:
"I'm Aiden, this is Jung Woo," came the quiet reply from the man crouching next to Rosita. "It works," came Yumiko. Daryl knocked Jung Woo out with the crossbow and Rosita knocked Aiden out. When the two were unconscious, the group went back to Alexandria where they were taken to two different cells. Daryl then went with the others to Michonne where they explained the situation to her while Rosita and Micheal went to Sophie.
Now:
"Hey," Rosita said gently as she sat down on the bed and looked at Sophie. "Hey mom, are you back already?" Sophie said, slightly surprised but also confused. "Yep, we caught the guys who hurt you, they weren't too far from Alexandria," Rosita explained in a very serious tone, to which Sophie nodded. There was a moment of silence until Adrian spoke up. "Are they here or dead?" Adrian asked curiously but seriously. "They're here but Michonne will decide later what we do with them, she's probably with them right now and "asking" for information," Rosita explained as she looked at Adrian. "What do you mean, just "ask" Rosita?" Adrian then said confusedly. "Well, you know, information comes no matter how," Rosita replied, to which Adrian nodded slowly. "What did you actually do while Rosita and I were away?" Micheal asked curiously as he looked briefly at Adrian and then at Sophie. "Talked" was Sophie's short reply but she did look at Micheal. "Talked and made sure Sophie stayed with the beer," Adrian replied in a friendly tone. Just as Micheal was about to say something, Rosita interrupted him. "Thank you," Rosita said in a gentle but also honest and grateful tone as she looked at Adrian. "No problem," Adrian replied. "Thank you, you know Sophie has a bad habit of getting out of bed even when she shouldn't, like when she's sick or injured," Rosita explained with a slight grin while shaking her head because Rosita thought that Sophie was just as stubborn as Rosita. "So she hasn't changed," Adrian said teasingly as he looked at Sophie. "Shut up," Sophie said, rolling her eyes, causing the other three to laugh. "Hey, I'm going to go and see if Michonne is still downstairs, are you okay?" Rosita asked in her usual calm tone as she looked at Micheal, Adrian and Sophie. "Of course," Adrian said in a confident and calm tone, causing Rosita to smile. "Not a bit changed," Rosita said with a smile, and then she kissed Sophie on the forehead again before leaving the room and quietly closing the door behind her to go to the cells to see if Michonne was there, because if Michonne wasn't in the cells then she was probably with the horses or at home with Judith. When Rosita arrived, she was surprised to see that Michonne was actually at the cells. Rosita leaned against the wall as she watched Michonne confront Aiden because he wasn't making it easy for her to give information. After a few minutes, Michonne noticed that people were looking at her and when she turned around, she saw Rosita leaning against a wall. "Any information?" Rosita asked seriously as she looked at Aiden, who had a little blood on his mouth, but then Rosita looked back at Michonne. "No, just that he belongs to a group. He doesn't say what it's called or where the rest are," Michonne sighed as she turned her attention to Rosita. "Should I take care of it?" Rosita asked seriously as she looked at Michonne. "Try your luck, I didn't make it," Michonne replied seriously. "Would it be okay if I paid Sophie a visit?" Michonne asked carefully as she walked past Rosita. And she looked at Rosita. "Yeah, that's okay, but can you send Siddiq to her? I want to know how the wound is healing," she said seriously, but Michonne could hear the concern in Rosita's voice. "Sure," Michonne replied in a calm tone, to which Rosita nodded. Then Michonne went out and went to Siddiq, where she asked him to please take a look at Sophie's wound, so the two of them went to Sophie together, where Sophie and Adrian talked a bit, and it seemed as if Sophie was actually happy for the first time since Tara's and Henry's deaths. Micheal watched the two of them. Bala Michonne then came in with Siddiq, and they both greeted the three teenagers, whereupon Siddiq turned to Sophie and spoke to her briefly, asking how she was, if everything was OK, and so on. Meanwhile, Siddiq carefully examined Sophie's wound on her head. Michonne spoke in passing because she had a question for Sophie. Michonne described Aiden and Jung Woo, and then asked Sophie her question. "Does anything sound familiar?" Michonne asked carefully, and then said nothing at first to give Sophie time to think, but she didn't want to put Sophie under pressure either. "Something's ringing, but I don't know exactly what it is. Somehow I remember it, but somehow I don't," Sophie said seriously as she looked at Michonne and then looked down. "Hey, it's not bad, but at least it looks familiar to you, that's better than nothing," came Michonne's encouraging tone, to which Sophie just nodded. After a moment, Michonne spoke again. "I'll leave you alone again, see you later," came Michonne's gentle tone as she looked at the three teenagers. Adrian and Micheal had said goodbye with a "see you later" and a "bye" while Sophie just nodded. "And how's it going?" Adrian asked after a moment when he saw that it seemed as if Siddiq had finished examining and treating Sophie's wound. "It doesn't look too bad, the wound is healing well so far and if it continues like this, Sophie can go home with Rosita and Micheal next week," came Siddiq's honesty and smile, to which Adrian and Micheal breathed a sigh of relief. "Good to hear," came Adrian's relief. "Well then let's hope that the wound continues to heal well," Siddiq then added. "Definitely," came Adrian's reply. After Siddiq made sure that Sophie was OK, he asked both Adrian and Michael if they were OK, and Siddiq then left the room. Meanwhile, Michonne had arrived at the cells and saw that Rosita had managed to get some information from Aiden. "You won't get away with that, our people will come," said Aiden, laughing. "And even if we do, we're doing everything to protect this place, you idiots won't get far, there are maybe 30 of you at most. Believe me, I'll gladly tell you again, never, I repeat never, mess with an Espinosa or anyone from Alexandria in general, because that's a huge mistake, you asshole," said Rosita, angry but still serious and threatening, whereupon Aiden looked at Rosita for a moment. Michonne let Rosita do what she wanted until she spoke up while she heard Adrian answer Rosita's question after Rosita had said something in Spanish while holding a knife to Aiden's hand as a threat. "You really did it," said Michonne, astonished, whereupon Rosita looked at Michonne. Rosita then took the knife away and stood up from where she was crouching next to Aiden. "Sure," Rosita said in her usual calm tone. "What did you say he'd come clean now?" Michonne asked curiously, causing Rosita to grin. "Well, you just said that even if the two of them leave here, there are other cities that would do something to them at any time if they saw them and that he'd rather say something here because otherwise something could happen to his partner," explained Rosita while nodding briefly to Aiden. "What did you find out?" Michonne asked, both serious and curious. "So the two of them aren't part of a group, he's the leader of the group," came Rosita while nodding to Aiden. "And he's kind of his right-hand man, the group is called "Reavers" and it seems they've already killed and robbed a lot of people on their way to Alexandria, the two of them have been around here for a while, which is why Sophie ran into them so easily," explained Rosita seriously, whereupon Michonne nodded and thought for a moment. "We'll leave them here for now until we have a precise plan of what we're going to do. We can't take any more risks. We've built something good and it's going to stay that way. We don't know how big the group is, how strong they are or what weapons they have," Michonne said, both harshly and coldly, but also slightly caringly. "Definitely," Rosita then confirmed.
