The Walking Dead [Daryl Dixon]

Chapter 18- Yet another rescue mission

Haley's P.O.V.

Those damn saviors! I thought we got rid of them. But now they've got Carol and Maggie. "Now we're gonna work this out right now" She continued to say through the radio "And it's going to our way"

"Rick" I said

"Get him up" Rick said sternly

Glenn and Daryl picked the savior up. I held my gun high. Daryl and Glenn pointed their guns at his head

"You can see we have one of yours" Rick spoke "We'll trade"

"I'm listening" She said

"First I want to talk to Maggie and Carol make sure they're all right"

Where the hell are these guys? Question is how many are there, I thought to myself

"Rick, it's Carol I'm.. I'm fine, but" Then Maggie's voice came on "Rick it's Maggie, we're both okay. We'll figure thi-" She got cut off cause the bitch came on again "You have your proof, let's talk"

Rick held the radio next to his mouth "All right this is the deal right here. Let them go you can have your guy back and live"

"Two for one that's not much of a trade" She responded

"You don't have any other choice. Or you would've done something about it already"

There was silence. Come on, take the damn deal. Rick began to speak again "Look I know your talking it over. It's a fair trade, just come out we do this. We all walk away" Silence came out "Do we have a deal?"

"I'll get back to you" She said

"Damn bitch" I mumbled

"Now what?" Glenn asked

"Now, we wait" Rick said

We tied the savior's hands together and went back in it out car on the road. We waited, I sat by Rick who had the radio in his hand. Daryl took his bike and brought it back. He was sitting on it and fixing it. I stood up and walked over to him

"Well, at least you got your bike back" I said stroking my hand over his head

He snickered "Yea" It was humid, ever since the rain stopped. It felt like forever we were out here but I knew it wasn't. I just wish I knew what time it was. I sat on the hard cement ground and took out my sword. I grabbed a hard rock and began to sharpen my blade. Then I heard the static hissing coming from the radio. I looked up at Rick. I was nearby so I could hear what was going on

"Have you thought about it? Talk to me" Rick asked

It took only a second for her to respond "You weren't listening. I said I'll contact you"

"Would it make a difference if I said I was sorry about that?"

"What do you think?" She asked

"I think we're gonna make the trade, so tell me where"

"We haven't agreed to that"

Rick held the radio close to him "You will"

"You know what, I'm not so sure. We'd be taking most of the risk. Not getting much in a way of a reward"

"The other option won't work out for you" Rick comprehended

"We'll take our chances"

The radio went hissing. I stopped sharpening my blade "Rick, what are we going to do?" I asked

"We're gonna kill them" Rick said in his deep stern voice

I pushed my blade back behind me "I got us a trail" Daryl said coming back from the road

"Let's go" Rick announced

We gathered our things and began to take off. Time for yet another rescue mission. The radio was hissing again and the same girl came on "Asshole, you there?"

Rick grabbed the radio and held it up to his face "I'm here"

"We thought about it. We want to make the trade"

"That's good"

"There's a large field with a sign that says God is dead, about two miles down I-66. Good visibility in all directions"

Rick nodded "We'll meet you there. 10 minutes?"

"10 minutes"

Rick put down the radio "Are you sure this is the place?" I asked looking outside

"Yea, I'm sure" Rick looked back at us "Let's go get our people"

We got our weapons ready as Rick handled the savior. We parked somewhat far away and hidden so no one would see us "Keep your weapons hot. We don't know if they know we're here. Keep formation"

We all nodded as we stayed in a small circle and make our way to the building. We kept going and going until someone pulled open a door, it went flying up while we saw Maggie and Carol on the other side. A sigh of relief flew over me when I saw they were safe

Glenn embraced Maggie while Daryl went to Carol. A slight piece of jealously came over me especially when Daryl lifted up Carol's chin. He was so close to her. But it quickly flew over me knowing he was just worried about her. I was too. Then he hugged her

"Your friends are dead" Rick said to the savior "No ones comin for ya. So you might as well talk"

"Let him burn" Daryl scorned

"I'm gonna ask you one last time. How did you get the bike?"

"We found it" He responded

"Like hell you did" Daryl said

"We found it" The savior said

"Was Negan in that building last night or was he here?" Rick asked

The savior looked at Rick "Both. I'm Negan shithead. There's a whole world of fun we can talk about"

This guys delusional, I thought

"So let's have a chat"

Rick took a step back and took out his gun "I'm sorry it had to come to this" He pointed it at his head and shot

The savior fell and the gunfire echoed. I was shocked. I had a billions emotions flowing over me. I hadn't slept, eaten. I was dehydrated, I knew. I stood a couple steps back. My eyes focused on the ground. I felt myself falling to the ground

"Haley!" I heard Daryl yell my name and run by my side. I felt his big arms grab me but that's all I felt. Because after that everything went black
