Getting Down To Real Business

Katelyn's pov#

''Katelyn...'' Negan says. Oh god. I have only ever met him a couple of times, if you are ever sent to have a talk with Negan, the chances are you will either wind up dead... or dead.

''Yes?'' I ask very politely. Saying I was terrified of Negan himself was an understatement. He could well and truly be the most evillest villein around too. With him and Lucille (his bat) in charge, together they are a power team. Taking down the good guys who cross paths, or makes them work for him and give him half of everything he has. What a great business to be running.

"You haven't been back in a while" Negan comments, walking through the door that was in front of us. He took a seat behind a very old looking desk, hasn't been cleaned for months I suppose.

"Nothing new has popped up" I say seriously. I mean the only time I ever come here is when I am obviously needed, unless Negan has chosen to kill me.

"Change of plans, they have killed a lot of my men lately, they need to be brought down to their knees, literally" Negan says, eyeing the door as it once again opens.

"There has been another one" Micheal says as he walks over to Negan. I sit in the edge of my chair, I have a feeling I already knew what they were talking about.

"Katelyn. Listen closely because if you damn fuck up... I wont hesitate to make you Lucilles lunch" Negan threatens sending a shiver to run through my spin to my finger tips. I was terrified. I leaned closer so Negan could tell me what I was going to do. I disagreed with the whole thing bit nodded my head in a agreement knowing the consequences if I didn't.

It was horrible. The whole damn thing. What he wanted me to do. It was sick, completely and utterly inhumane. But I was going to suck it up and put a smile on my face. If I was going to be going back home to go through with this plan, there needed to be one thing done first.

"The only way to make it seem real" Negan says letting Micheal drag me out the door. My eyes glanced up to see four guys standing around in a circle. I was chucked in the middle.

Let the beating begin...

Bekky's pov#

We pulled up in front of the gates. Hoping out first was Chandler and I, Danai and Norman held Jake as they walked him through. The guy who was at the gate closes the gate then took the car and parked it for us. Chandler and I walked forward, this time our hands not intertwined with each others, but then again it was only a one time. The sound of my heart pounding and breaking a little more at the lonely thought. Chandler just didn't like me that way. Then why hold your hand before? Obviously he was trying to prove a point to the Jake guy, you know, hurt anyone and there will be trouble. It didn't feel that way...

Why where we walking to Andrew's?

I gave Chandler a questioning glance as soon as I caught up to him. He just shrugged his shoulders and glanced behind to see the others following.

''Probably to sort out things with the new kid'' He answers bitterly. I could tell since the second I found them at the food compound Chandler disliked Jake. Yeah he did held a gun to his hand but he was protecting himself, if someone doesn't do that now, it makes you even more suspicious.

''Why the grudge?'' I ask. He turns to face me with his eyebrows creased.

''You know what I mean'' I say brushing his curious glance off. We make it the porch steps and he knocks on the door, waiting for his dad to answer.

''Yes we were wondering when you guys would be-'' He begins, falling short for words once he sees Jake, the newbie. I might call him that for a while, the newbie.

''We found him on the run'' Norman says, dragging him inside once Chandler, Andrew and I have made room.

''We need to speak living arrangements first'' Danai says walking past us next and into the house. Living arrangements? I'm sorry but there are more important things to discuss then living arrangements.

''Right well have you guys-'' Andrew begins before Danai buts in. Chandler shuts the door behind me as we make our way into the living room.

''Yep he is all clear'' Danai says. Andrew walks over to Jake, which may I add he looked like he was about to shit himself. He was in deep thought, Andrew of course. Like he was concentrating very hard on something.

''I am just trying to think of somewhere which is free on space'' Andrew says, tilting his head to think properly. I could feel Norman tense beside me, I was standing in between Norman and Chandler.

''This is a really out there idea but... Bekky's house is empty...'' Norman trails off. I turn around to him in shock. That's right... I haven't spoken them about Katelyn yet... I was supposed to do that today... till I went on the run and... all this happened.

''I don't think that's such a-'' Chandlers begins before he was cut off by Andrew. I swear this group likes speaking over the top of each other. Meanwhile Jake was standing there, confused out of his mind would be an understatement.

''No, it is settled, as long as it is alright with you Bekky? Jake will stay with you for at least tonight, tomorrow we will go into permanent arrangements'' Andrew says. I just nod my head staying quiet. I didn't bother to look beside me to see either of Norman's or Chandler's reaction. It will be fine for tonight.

''Unless someone is moving out soon, there is no where else for him to go'' Danai points out. This brings Andrew back to his thinking.

''Bekky?'' he asks. I was now official apart of this conversation, I think.

''Yeah?'' I respond.

''Jake will be staying with you, permanently, any dramas, just let me know. You guys better be heading off now'' Andrew states. Not even going to ask how I feel about this? Well then... okay.

''Dad'' Chandler begins walking up to speak to his father. I follow his lead.

''Andrew what about Katelyn?'' I ask just before Chandler could say anything. He stops and turns around to look at me.

''Well then she can move straight back-''.

''No you're missing the point, I don't think you would want her-'' I begin.

''We will talk tomorrow'' he says walking away, even ignoring Chandler as he heads up the stairs. Judith began to cry. I glanced at Chandler and smiled before walking over to Jake who was still in the corner.

''I guess I am showing you your new home'' I said to Jake walking up to him. He nods in response and I lead him out the front door. Well this was before Chandler grabbed my hand, stopping me from going any further.

Chandler's pov#

''I'll come''.

I didn't let go of her hand as we walked back to hers.
