Maggie and Katie found the rest of the group sitting in the foyer outside the office.
"How did it go?" Rick asked, walking up to Katie.
"You don't want to know," Katie mumbled angrily.
"What did he say?" Rick asked, starting to get concerned.
"Besides that he would make staying here worth my while, he said nothing. There's no deal," Katie said.
Rick sighed.
He kissed her temple lightly.
"You tried," Rick said gently.
"Well don't I feel like I deserve a damn trophy," Katie said sarcastically.
"Participation trophies are still trophies, Katie," Abraham said with a chuckle.
She rolled her eyes at him dramatically, making him laugh hysterically.
Jesus rejoined the group a few minutes later.
"We want to generate trade. Gregory does," Jesus said quickly.
"Certainly doesn't seem like it," Katie snapped.
"Ammo isn't something we urgently need," Jesus said.
"Well, how's that?" Rick asked.
"The walls hold," Jesus replied simply.
"And what happens if they stop holding?" Katie interjected.
Jesus ignored the question.
"We just brought in more medicine. Gregory wants the best deal possible," Jesus said.
"Yeah, well we want things too," Daryl interjected gruffly.
Katie nodded in agreement.
"We need food. We came all this way, we're gonna get it," Rick said to Jesus.
"I don't care if we have to rip it from your cold, dead corpse's arms. I'm leaving here with food for my family. See if I give a damn about anyone from your 'Hilltop'," Katie said fiercely.
Rick didn't even try to stop her.
"I will talk to him. And we will work this out," Jesus said.
"And if you don't, you'll have me to answer to. And I can promise you that you don't want that," Katie said to him, a serious tone in her voice.
"Believe me, she's telling the truth. You don't want to screw with her. She'll shoot you faster than you can blink," Rick said.
"All I ask is that you give me a few days," Jesus pleaded.
