Sky was working in the infirmary the following morning when Negan stopped by to see her. "How are you feeling today Darlin?" he asked as he placed a kiss on her cheek.
"I'm ok at the moment, but I guarantee it will hit me after lunch" she sighed. This pregnancy sickness was really starting to wear her down.
"You'll be through the worst of it soon" he reassured her. "Look Darlin', me and a bunch of the guys have gotta go out for a while, the compound is gonna be pretty empty. There's a new group of people that are causing me a whole lot of problems".
"How long will you be gone?"
"Don't know for sure Darlin', probably overnight. All I know for sure is someone is bound to fucking die tonight" he told her seriously.
"These the same guys that killed a bunch of your men a few weeks back?" Sky asked.
"Yeah. It seems like they are working with the fucking group at the hilltop, so a whole lot of people need to be shown what the fucking rules are in this world".
"You do what you have to do baby. I'll be waiting for you" she smiled as she pressed her lips against his for a quick kiss.
"I fucking love you Sky… I'll see you soon Darlin'" he grinned as he kissed her hard.
"Stay safe" she whispered.
"Always do Darlin'… always do" he smiled.
Negan and his men had round up the guys from the Alexandria safe zone as they were trying to make their way to the hilltop. Simon had them all on their knees in the dirt, waiting for him to come out and wave Lucille around in his usual threatening manner.
As he swung Lucille over his shoulder he strolled out into the make shift arena of sorts and paraded in front of the group before him. Singling out the man who appeared to be the leader, he sauntered over to him. "Hi… you're Rick right? I'm Negan. And I do not appreciate you killin' my men" he spoke seriously. The man looked up at him with rage in his eyes, so he continued to speak. "Also, when I sent my people to kill your people, for killin' my people, yoouuu killed more of my people. Not cool, not fucking cool". He said as he eyed him carefully. "You have no fucking idea how not fucking cool that shit is. But… I think you're gonna be up to speed here shortly" he smiled somewhat sadistically. He knew what he had to do to make these people understand the rules. He knew that someone was going to have to die.
"Yeah… you are so gonna regret crossing me in a few minutes" he said as he stared the leader down. "Fuck yeah you are" he grinned.
"You see Rick, whatever you do, no matter fucking what, you do not mess with the new world order. And the new world order is this and it's really very simple. Even if you're fucking stupid, which you very well may be. You can understand it" he continued on as the bearded man stared up at him. "You ready? Here goes, pay attention" he began as he pointed Lucille in the man's face. "Give me your shit, or I will kill you" he stated simply with a smile.
"Today was career day. We invested a lot, so that you would know who I am and what I can do. You work for me now. You have shit, you give it to me" he stated as he waved Lucille around some more for dramatic effect. "That's your job. Now I know that's a mighty big nasty pill to swallow, but swallow it you most certainly motherfucking will. You ruled the roost, you built something. You thought you were safe. I get it. But, the word is out. You are not safe, not even fucking close. In fact you are fucked, more fucked if you don't give me what I want, and what I want is half your shit. And if that's too much, then you can go make find or steal more and it'll even out sooner or later" he told them. "This is your way of life now. The more you fight back, the harder it will be. So… if someone comes to your door, you fucking let us in! We own that fucking door. You try to fucking stop us… we will fucking knock that fucker down. You understand?" he asked as he approached Rick once more and leaned in close with his hand to his ear.
