I spin my bat in my hand making wide circles. I let it drop and swing back up only stopping when I hear a throat being cleared.

"Rick. What can I do for you today?" I ask.

"I need you to meet Negan today. He said that there is a gas station off the road a ways past the old square in town. He said the name was the stop shop." I nod my head. Its the only place Negan will meet our people when he is out.

"Why not just come here?" I ask.

"Honestly Charls I have no idea. Its like the idea has quit appealing to him. Not that I'm complaining the less he is here the better for me and my health." I laugh and look down at my bat. Its gotten worse since Negan killed Glenn and Abe. I quit staring and look up at Rick his blue eyes staring straight through me.

"When do I leave?" I ask. Rick looks relieved that I don't argue with him.

"As soon as you grab your gear." I nod and leave Rick by the gate.

I lean against my bike waiting on Negan and his convoy. I play with my bat spinning it in my hand and throwing it in the air catching it. My eyes keep going to the machine gun Rick made me bring as a offering to Negan. I wait and listen to the bird chirping and the wind making the leaves rustle. The sound of a truck coming up the road makes me look up. I lift myself away from my bike and tighten my grip on my bat. The truck stops and a huge grizzly man steps out coming towards me. I move and swing the bat. I hear it connect with his face and the next man comes at me and I duck under his arm yanking it back with me. I hear the snap of the bone and then I can hear his yelling.

"Well done beautiful. I knew Rick was hiding a jem in that damn town." I look up and my yes meet Negan's deep brown eyes. He has a smile plastered on his face. I can't help but stare. All things aside he is a very handsome man. 

"I got your shit." I say. I reach into my satchel and grab the bag and then pull the machine off the back of the bike and toss it towards hi.

"You know for a pretty thing you sure do have a filthy mouth." Negan chuckles.

"You'd like to know wouldn't you, but it will be a freezing day in hell when you find out. Alrighty boys well im off and you can go fuck yourselves." I hop on my bike and flip them a bird. "Nice day doing business." I blow Negan and kiss and leave.

"You did what!" Carl is laughing hysterically and Im holding my sides as he mocks Negan.

"You have big balls Charls. Im telling you. No one stands up to Negan or even gets the chance to say what you said." Carl says. I look at him and he looks at me and shakes his head.

Rick looks at me and  he has a fear in his eyes. I stand up and motion for him to follow. He follows me out to the gate. 

"Its fine Rick I promise. Its not the first time ive done something like this. We have to live and fuck that prick. I could care less what hurts his fucking ego. He is a grown man acting like a toddler who didnt get his way. Remember I dealt with people like him before the world took a shit. Hell I was only 19 when it all went to hell so I say live." I hug Rick and let him go home to Michonne and stay on guard duty.

"Hey Charlie." I look down from my perch and see Spencer. He has a gun on his hip and a nag on his shoulder.

"What the fuck are you doing this time?" I say. He tries to leave like twice every week.

"We have to get more supplies we are going to die in these walls." He says. I roll my eyes and climb down to stand in front of him.

"Your a fucking twat, but you know what Im gonna let you go but when I come for you in a few hours you better have something to show for your fucking crusade. I swear you have become a even bigger pain in my ass lately then usual." I open the gates and he disappers.

"Dumb fuck." I groan. I climb back up the wall to my perch and watch as the sun begins to rise. I climb down and let Eugene take over. 

"Hey Eugene let Rick know I have to go after Dumb ass later. He decided he was gonna leave in the middle of the night. I just need a few hours of sleep and Ill head out to get the fucker."

"Will do." I shake my head and head to my house on the outskirts of the community away from everyone and everything.
