"Now, we're gonna work this out right now, - and it's going to go our way." The woman says.

"Their confident." I snarled.

"Pick him up." Rick says sternly. Daryl and Glenn pick up the man as Michonne and Glenn hold their guns to him.

"You can see we have one of yours. We'll trade." Rick tells them.

"I'm listening." The woman inquires.

"First I want to talk to Jay, Maggie and Carol, - make sure they're all right." Rick says.

"Its Jay, I'm ok." I could hear her voice crack. My eyes tear up. I wipe my eyes into my elbow and watch that area.

"Rick, it's Carol. I'm-- I'm fine, but," Carol gets cut off.

Rick, it's Maggie. We're both okay. - We'll figure this out," Maggie gets cut off.

"You have your proof. Let's talk." The woman speaks.

"This is the deal right here. Let 'em go, you can have your guy back and live." Rick tells them.

"Three for one, that's not much of a trade." The woman comments.

"You don't have another choice or you would've done something about it already. Look, I know you're talking it over. It's a fair trade. Just come out, we do this, we all walk away. Do we have a deal?" Rick asked.

"I'll get back to you." The woman says. After she said that the figures moved deeper into the woods.

I take off running. I swing the sniper back on my shoulder as I take out my knives clenching them in my fists. I run straight for the woods to the area of where I saw the figures. The others hollered after me but I kept going. I focused on that area. Soon as I got into the woods I stop to look around. Looking for a trail. Something. There were walkers that had their heads stabbed. Someone was here. There's a trail following throughout the woods as I kept up with it by walking. Out of the corner of my eyes I could see Daryl and Rick catching up to me.

"Harley, you find something?" Rick says.

"Maybe. I saw some figures over here. I didn't say anything because the guy. He could have shouted out something." I followed the trail.

"You tracking the trail." Daryl comments.

"Mhm." I hummed. I can see tire tracks now. They had a car or van here. I could hear it. I take off running again.

"Harley wait." Rick says. I get to the road and see a van driving down. Full speed run down the street holding the van. Somebody rolls down their window and started shooting at me but I dodged the bullets. I climb on the back door holding on to it. My feet were dragging against the asphalt as I pick them up and open the door. The door swings wide pushing me off of the bumper of the van. I held onto the door. I could see Maggie, Carol and Jay duct taped with bags over their heads. An older woman grabs her knife and swings it at me as I try to dodge it. I kick her back as the door swing forward. Another woman comes up and cocks her gun. The only thing that kept me from falling was this door that kept swinging back and forth. She aims her gun at me and shoots only hitting the door. I could hear her gun click as she was out of ammo. The older woman swigs her knife again as the other takes the bottom of her gun to my head. I let go of the door and roll onto the asphalt as Daryl and Rick help me up.

"You alright?" Daryl asked.

"I'm good. I tried to hang on. There was three women and one man. The man looks injured. We can take them." I breath out.

"Hold on. We got to figure out where they are going. We need to think before we act." Rick says as I continue walking on the street.

"They have my sister." I muttered.

"They have Maggie and Carol too." He says back.

"I'll track them down. You guys meet up with the group and then follow my trail." I said.

"No, I ain't splitting up with you again." Daryl shakes his head.

"We have to. You guys have to get the rest of the group. I got the trail it's still good." I shrug my shoulders.

"No, we can't do that. Lets all head back grab the group. Wait a while then follow the trail." Rick says.

"It will run cold. Something might mess up the path."

"We have to stick together. We can't loss anyone else." Rick says. I sighed and walk past him back to the building.

Target.

We meet back up with the group as I hold the sniper close to me. Rick tells the others that we will follow the trail. Daryl and I lead it as Rick falls behind with the others. I knew where I was going. Following the tire tracks wasn't so bad. I was getting better at this tracking. We stopped a little while after as Rick gets back on the talkie.

"Have you thought about it? Talk to me."

"You weren't listening. I said I'd contact you." The woman says irritated.

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

"What do you think?" She questions.

"I think we're gonna make the trade, so tell me where." Rick says confidently.

"We haven't agreed to that." The woman says.

"You will." Rick tells her.

"You know what? I'm not so sure. We'd be taking most of the risk, not getting much in the way of a reward." The woman taunts us. Walkers came up to our group.

"Their mine." I stop Abraham and Sasha from getting them. It was two of them.

I walk up to one of them and kick them in the back of the leg. I stomped its head in with my foot as the other one leans over me. I pushed it to the ground and stabbed it in its head. I clean the blade of with my shirt and sit back down on the ground.

Fight.

"She's gonna be fine short stuff. Jays a tough gal and put's up a hell of a fight." Abraham says. I nod my head and look the other way.

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

"We'll take our chances." The woman says. I stand up and grab my bag.

"Lets go." I said.

"You need to drink something." Daryl whips out his canteen. I shake my head. I don't want anything but Jay. We were getting closer to the place. Maybe 10 or 15 minutes away.
