~Mary's POV~

My eyes go in and out of focus, my sight sometimes becoming blurry.

A shimmering light shines through some crooked cracks in the walls, making me flinch. The cold air soon hits me as I manage to stay awake for a few seconds, my eyes opening fully before they close again filling with blackness and hatred.

~Carl's POV~

I sigh quietly and look around the RV. Aaron is still at Maggie's side while the others try and find a safe route to travel on. I have no idea where were even meant to be going now.

Fuck Negan's group. Let's just go home.

But Mary...

God knows where she is. She could be dead for all I know. But I'm not giving up. Not for her. I'm never giving up until I know.

Maggie's heavy breathing fills the silence in the air. I look across at her and sigh, looking how tired and extremely sick she was.

I'm excited for the baby, I really am it's just I don't want the baby to grow up without a mom. Judith has, it sucks for her. I know that Maggie will probably make it, now that we have doctors around and a safe environment. It's just that chance that something messes up.

"Are we close?" Maggie asks quietly, pain growing in her voice.

"Yeah, w-we're getting there." Dad speaks, holding Maggie's hand and caressing her head softly.

"I-I heard the shots..."

"Yeah, the Saviours. They're gone. We're gonna get you there."

"I-I-I know."

"You're gonna be okay. The baby is gonna be okay." Dad says, his voice filled with hope. "This isn't it. This isn't it. There's more. There's gonna be more."

"I-I believe in you Rick."

Dad smiles slightly and looks down then back up to Maggie's pale, sweaty face.

After a few glances between everyone about Maggie and the baby, the RV stops.

I look forward as does everyone else and notice massive logs blocking the road. Now, I have no idea if this was the Saviours idea and they purposely put this here, or it was a coincidence. I wouldn't be surprised either way.

We all decide to investigate.

"These tracks..." Eugene comments, walking with us to the mess. "I would indicate that not only do they have people, but they have some big ass toys and capabilities-"

"This would indicate that we are neck deep in shit creek with our mouths wide open."

Dad looks at us all before looking back at the situation, but a few milli - seconds after, a scream is heard from the bridge where the same man from the road before hung.
