What Happens Next

The Coast is Clear

When I woke up, I looked at the ceiling, I looked over to a clock seeing it was 10 o'clock. I got up and put my shoes back on and walked out of the room, "here, food before you leave," the man from the night before said coming up to me with a plate of eggs and bacon. I smiled a bit taking it gently, "thank you," I say softly, "my name is Kal," he says, "Jessica," I say back smiling as I broke a piece of the eggs off eating it, "this is really good," I say looking at Kal, "we have a good Chef," he chuckled, "just to be nice, I think it'd be good if you got checked out by our doctor before you go." I listened to him and nod a little, "maybe," I shrug a little, "I'll bring you there, it's on the way of the wall so," he says walking me there, "see ya," Kal says waving to me, I waved back going inside.

"Dr. Carson?" I call out. Kal told me the doctors name as I looked around, "yes?" I heard a males voice call back walking over, "hi, uh.. I'm Jessica. I was just staying the night, Kal wanted me to get checked up before I left.." I say softly looking at him, "oh, yeah he told me. Go ahead and sit down," he said smiling. I went over sitting on a bed as he walked over to me. He checked me up, "you seem good, is there anything bothering you?" He asks putting his tools away, "no, I feel-" I say as we heard Kal yelling to some people. I got confused and got up going outside.

I walked outside seeing Kal yelling at people over the wall. Watching him, I see some people open the gates as I see a man with long brown hair walk in with a group of people. Looking closely they were, my people?

My eyes widened as I saw them, even Glenn. "Glenn!" I yelled running to them. I saw Glenn drop his gun running back hugging me tightly, "Jessica, thank god you're ok, what happened?!" He asked looking at me pulling from the hug, "I'll tell you later, ok?" I say looking at him, "why didn't you come back?" Rick asks walking to me, "I was today, I found this place and I asked if I could stay the night and get some food," I say looking at them, "Carl was worried sick and felt bad," he says. I smiled a bit with a small chuckle.

I followed them as we went back inside the building when the older man came out, "Jesus, great to see you again," he says and looked to me, "aren't you uh, supposed to be leaving?" He asks looking at me, "I will, when my people leave," I say looking to them then to the man. The man that the leader called Jesus looked at us and sighed, "Gregory, I found this group to trade with," he said, "why don't you get washed up, then we'll talk," he says, almost like he was shooing him away. Glenn had me go with them as we went upstairs.

Everyone went into another room to clean up besides Daryl, Abraham, and me. We stayed out and talked about somethings as they looked at me, "so who in the hell took you?" Abraham asked. I was sitting in a chair and looked to the two men as they wanted an answer. I sighed a bit, not wanting to say as I stood up going to them, "I think it was the people who almost killed you two and Sasha," I ask as they immedietly knew, "Negan?" He asks, I nod a little as people started coming, "I'll talk to you guys about it more later, right now let's keep it between us, please," I say some what begging as we go back downstairs.

I went and sat outside as Glenn came out, "hey kid," he says sitting down next to me with the casual smile, "hey Glenn," I say smiling back. We sat outside looking around the community, "Maggie is talking to Gregory," he says. I nodded as he looked at me, "can we talk about it now?" He asks looking at me, "about what happened yesterday?" I ask looking to him. He nodded as I looked forward sighing, "sure. After Carl ran, thinking I was behind him, I was attacked by a walker, after I killed it, I went to run, but, there were men on the street and they heard us, one of them stopped me bringing me back to the rest of the men on the road. He took my weapons and ended up looking at my locket, he saw one side being the picture of us, the other side being a picture of me and my dad, he turned out to be-" I was explaining when yelling came from the gate.

I stood up looking to see what was happening when there were two men and a woman coming in yelling and complaining.
