Sierra looked down to where Rick knelt as he placed the bag of weapons they had into a trench in the ground he'd dug.

"Just in case," he said as he looked to her and Daryl who stood beside her.

"May I put this in there," she asked holding out her extra inhaler towards him, "just in case."

"Of course," he nodded as he took the item from her and placed it in with the weapons before closing the bag and beginning to bury it.

Daryl nodded for her to follow him once Rick finished, walking towards the chain fence that went around the perimeter of Terminus itself.

Rick went over first before Daryl helped Sierra up and over the fence only for Rick to help her back down to the ground.

Daryl came over the fence last, after Michonne and Carl had gone over, but led the group into the closest building they came to that had its door open wide. Almost like an invitation to come on in.

Not having a weapon of her own, Sierra stayed in between the other four members of her group at that point.

Running into the building as quietly as they could, they made their way through the halls towards the sound of a female's voice.

Daryl peered into the room the talking was coming from, seeing an older woman at a radio transmitter and a group of people looking to be making more of those signs they'd found along the tracks.

Glancing back at the others, Daryl walked in first with the rest close behind.

Sierra found herself between Daryl and Michonne as they walked in, looking around at everything in the room.

She looked to her left as Rick walked around their group and moved closer to the woman.

"Hello," he said causing her to stop speaking and look up before he looked to the other group and spoke again, "hello."

The group watched as the people stopped, looking at the group surprised.

"Well, I bet Albert is on perimeter watch," one of the men said as he sat down the paint brush he had in hand.
Sierra watched as the man who talked walked around the tables and came to a stop in the center aisle.

"You here to rob us," he asked as he looked at the group before him.

"No," Rick said before he started walking forward a couple steps, "we wanted to see you before you saw us."

"Makes sense," the man said nodding as he looked around before looking back to the newcomers, "usually we do this where the tracks meet. Welcome to Terminus. I'm Gareth."

Daryl glanced at his group, looking at each one as the man, Gareth, spoke.

"Looks like you've been on the road for a good bit," Gareth said as he looked at each person standing in front of him.

"We have," Rick said nodding before looking to his group, "Rick. That's Carl, Daryl, Sierra, Michonne."

Sierra could feel Daryl's eyes on her, but she didn't look over at him. She just kept her eyes on the man named Gareth.

"You're nervous," he said after a few minutes of tense silence, "I get it. We were all the same way. We came here for sanctuary. That what you here for?"

Rick stared at him a second before looking to his group.

"Yes," he said as he turned his attention back to the guy in front of him.
