With a soft knock on the door, Tara walked out onto the porch. "Hey. You guys just get back?" She asked.

"No we got back late last night." Adrianna explained as she leaned against the wood of the house. "I was looking for you though."

"I was looking for you too." Adrianna raised her eyebrows and urged her to continue. "I wanted to tell you that you were right when you didn't kill Dwight. We couldn't have got this far without him." She paused. "The thing is, I know what you said, but after all this I'm going to kill him. I want it to be me."

"Maybe it can be the both of us." Adrianna suggested to her. "And maybe we don't have to wait so long."

Adrianna, Daryl, and Tara sat in the front of a garbage truck. They had been driving on one of their more secluded paths to the sanctuary. There was only one outpost on the road and they had already cleared it out. As Daryl drove, Adrianna explained the plan to Tara. They would take this truck, drive it into the sanctuary, and the walkers would flood in. This would practically force a surrender. It's what they needed to do, they were running low on chances and with the kingdom gone they didn't have the numbers anymore. They needed something big to happen. Even if some live were at risk.

Once Adrianna was done explaining to Tara what the plan was, she agreed. Tara wanted this to end just as bad as they did. As the got closer to passing the outpost, music started to play out loud and it sounded like it was moving. "What the hell is that?" Tara asked. Daryl drove around the corner and a truck exiting the building had speakers strapped to the back. "Hold on." Daryl muttered. He placed an arm in front of Adrianna and his foot slammed on the breaks. They all tensed and prepared for impact. The garbage truck took the smaller vehicle clean out, the sudden impact made the speakers abruptly stop. The three quickly climbed out of the vehicle and put the drivers down. They looked over and saw a very sweaty and tired looking Rosita and Michonne.

"It was a savior." Michonne panted as she tried to catch her breath. The two women looked as if they had just been in a fight. "They were out scavenging when you guys attacked the sanctuary. They saw all the walkers and planned to lead them away." She explained to the others.

"Why are you guys out here?" Adrianna asked.

"I need to see the sanctuary." Michonne urged. Rosita nodded in agreement. "We both do." The three others listened and understood, the women had to be at home due to their injuries. Adrianna was supposed to be one of them but she argued with Rick and Daryl until she was blue in the face. She had to see it so she understood their reasonings. "Why are you guys out here?" Rosita asked.

"We still got a lot more work to do." Adrianna replied. "All of us."

————————

"Here you go, you guys wanted to see this." Adrianna handed the binoculars to Rosita. They were parked on a hill where they could see the surrounded sanctuary clearly.

The women passed the binoculars as they both took a turn looking out. "Why do you need our help?" They asked the three others.

"To end this thing." Daryl grunted. "Right now."
He drove them to a parking lot a small ways away from the sanctuary. They had to go over the plan and make sure Rosita and Michonne understood it.

"So we cover you with crossfire from the upper windows, you crash the truck into the walkers and through the building?" Rosita asked. She had a hesitant look on her face and the same one matched Michonne.

"Yeah." Tara nodded. "We crack it open, it'll be a savior Buffett." She smiled.

"And you know the workers will make it away and up the stairs?" Michonne asked Adrianna. "They're on the other side of the building. They should make it." She reassured. "You sure?" Michonne asked again. Adrianna looked at the two people in front of her and couldn't believe they weren't wanting to end this now. "After we do this, their only choice is to give up." Adrianna urged. Rosita and Michonne shared an unsure look. "It's risky. They could see the truck coming." Michonne pointed out.
