Carl's POV
"He has Ariana" I say looking at jesus, he looks back to me and shakes his head.
"We should bail out, follow the rest of the way, see what we can see" Jesus says, looking back out the truck.
"uh,How?" I ask.
"It isn't usually the fall that gets us,It's trying to fight it.Run with it or roll with it,The truck's going slow enough.We'll be in the blind spot.
We can race behind one of the other cars"
"I-I-If If I screw up and we get caught" I say stuttering.
"It'll be fine" I can't risk my self going out there.If I mess up this will all be for nothing. "We just got to go now"
"Okay,Show me first" Jesus nods and gets ready to jump out the truck.he waits for a clear path and jumps, once he is out,he hides behind a car.i don't jump out, I can't, I have to get there now. I wave to him from the front of the truck.i hide behind the crate again.
I grab the machine gun that was in the Box at the back of the truck and load it ready.the truck stop and I hear Negan.
"Okay, boys, let's get this haul unloaded and inside.I want to get back in there and unload a little myself" I hear Negan say.
"Negan, I need to talk to you about redirect" I hear a man say.
"What about the redirect? It got screwed up?"
A man enters the truck and starts to unload everything, I feel my heart beat faster as he comes closer to me.
"Son of a bitch!What the hell?" He says as I shoot him.i run to the front of the truck and point my gun at the men.
"Stay back! Drop your weapons.I only want Negan.He killed my friends" I hear whistling, I look to my side seeing Negan smiling and walk closer to me.
"You are adorable.Did you pick that gun 'cause it looks cool?" He chuckles "You totally did, right? Kid, I ain't gonna lie you scared the shit outta me" one of his men runs towards me but I shoot him, Dwight pushes me to the ground and points the gun in my face."Dwight.Back off.Is that any way to treat our new guest?Come on, kid." Negan hands his hand out to pull me up, I accept it.

I look to my side seeing Daryl, he has a worried expression on his face, where's Ariana? I look back to Negan giving him a dirty look. "You know, you do the same damn stink-eye as your dad, except it's only half as good 'cause well, you know, you're missing an eye" I carry on starring "you're lucky you even still have a hand.Same as your boy Daryl over here, now that I think about it" he points to Daryl "How's the job going, Daryl? Hot enough for you?" He chuckles, looking back to me.
"Where is Ariana?" I ask.
"Now come with me" he ignores my question
"Dwighty-boy, why don't you grab Daryl, take him to the kitchen, do a little grub prep,New plan, boys.Let's burn the dead, unload the truck later.Damn, I am not gonna have time to screw any of my wives today" wives? "I mean, maybe one" he says looking at Dwight."Come on"
"What are you gonna do to me?" I ask.
"Number one, do not shatter my image of you.You're a badass.You're not scared of shit.Don't be scared of me.It's a disappointment.Number two you really want me to ruin the surprise?" He pushes me in front and we walk up some stairs. He opens the door and I walk in to the room where many people are below us."watch this" he says whispering in my ear. He walks up to the front, I stand next to him, everyone kneels down to him. "The Saviors have gone out into the world and fought the dead and come back with some really good stuff.Some of that stuff can be yours if you work hard and play by the rules.
Today, everybody gets fresh vegetables at dinner.No points needed." Everyone starts to clap. "You see that? Respect" I look around the room to see if Ariana was here but there was no sight of her.is she dead?
