Jade looks at the bat and then back up at the man as he turns his head sideways.

"now, don't be so rude! Introduce yourself!Lucille here is so, so hungry after dealing with the constant bullshit-"

Presley walks up beside the man and interrupts.

"her name is jade, she's-"

The man turns his bat pointing it at Presley and smiles.

"well my god look who it is Presley, so tell me where is that little shit bag husband of yours huh? Old Lucille would love another swing at him"

Lewis steps through the crowd of boys and nods to the man.

"it won't be necessary Negan. Mason dealt with Konnor like he promised you-''

Negan moves his bat pointing at Lewis and turns his head sideways.

"well that's good but see we have a bit of a problem here Lewis because Konnor, well he killed some of my men. I am glad Mason did the right thing here but if Konnor was an issue than-"

Negan moves his bat back facing Presley.

"isn't it only natural that his wife should be dealt with too?"

Presley stands still eyeing the bat and glances up at Negan. Lewis reaches out placing his hand on Negan's wrist.

"Negan, she's not an issues you have my word-"

Negan shakes his head staring down Lewis.

"see your word to me is as good as a pile of steaming hot dog shit thrown at rick grimes-"

Negan looks between Presley and Lewis.

"but-"

He lowers his bat and nods to himself. He grins to Lewis and looks back at Presley.

"you know what Lewis, i feel good today, in fact i feel so damn good that i am going to be oh so generous.."

Negan swings his bat hitting Presley in the leg and she falls over screaming. Lewis goes to step forward and Negan shakes his head.

"now, now, now Lewis rules are rules! Konnor broke the rules and someone has to pay. so, we have a bit of a game to play tonight! which one of you is going to feed Lucille?"

Lewis shakes his head and looks to Presley.

"Negan, Mason is loyal, he won't disappoint you-"

Negan nods his head.

"you see now I know Mason is loyal because me and him we go way back before i had the kingdom, or the hill top, before this whole rick grimes pissing on my operation bullshit. i know oh boy do i know how much i can trust Mason but you see every community has its issues. Konnor, was a big issue"

Negan points his bat at Presley.

"and see she happens to be that issues wife..."

Lewis nods his head understanding.

"so the question Lewis we have to ask ourselves is do I put my trust in you?'

Negan turns his head looking at Lewis and Lewis shakes his head.

"no, put your trust in Mason. he, trusts her-"

Negan laughs shaking his head as he grips his hands tightly on his bat and closes his eyes.

"ill tell you what Lewis you bring Mason out here and we will talk. i'll see what he says about her"

Negan points his bat to Presley and he grins to himself.

"we will let Mason decide-"

Lewis nods his head and whispers.

"just, just don't decide without him here-"

Lewis backs away and runs back towards the house and Negan smiles down at Presley.

"I would just like to say Presley from the bottom of my heart I am so, so sorry that you have such poor taste in men"

Presley turns her head sideways and smiles.

"eat shit Negan-"

Negan grips his bat tightly and smiles to himself.

"well you are making this easy. for a minute i had a bit of self reflection on my friendship with this community about what i owe to mason for being an upstanding friend to me"

Negan lifts his bat and takes a few fake swings stopping the bat right next to Presley's head. Negan begins to hum a song to himself and nods his head as he keeps pretending to swing the bat and stops it right before he hits Presley's head.

"I bet you know a lot of Elvis song's don't you?"

Presley nods her head and Negan and his men laugh. Negan whispers as he swings the bat closer to her head.

"any requests?"

He grins swinging the bat but stops close to her face hearing a voice.

"Negan..."

Negan looks up eyeing Mason and then looks down at Presley as he nods.

"well look at you! it's been months since I had the time to see your bright face. i must say you clean up well Mason a little less blood on your face this time huh?"

Mason nods his head and Negan laughs.

"so i was just asking Presley here if she had any requested songs she would like to hear-"

Mason walks up to negan and whispers.

"what are you doing? We have a deal Negan-"

Negan places his hand on Mason's shoulder shaking his head.

"I am doing you a favor here Mason. think about this her husband Konnor he caused a lot of fuck ups in our plan here. She-"

Negan points to Presley.

"is Konnor's wife. Now i have to say you are my eyes, ears and my masterful mind, pure genius Mason, the IQ, the strategies. You and me together built this society, built the saviors. I owe you more then anyone. So, trust me Mason this girl is trouble she needs to be dealt with now if she isn't she will cause problems for you-"

Negan leans towards mason and Mason looks up at him nodding his head.

"then shes my problem Negan let me handle her-"

Negan takes a deep breath and Mason nods his head.

"have i ever not handled my problems I always deliver Negan. In fact-"

Mason takes out a gun from his belt and motions towards Presley.

"i'll deal with her right now as a show of good faith. we are loyal Negan and I see your point she needs to die-"

Mason turns shooting Presley in the chest three times. the crowd of boys grow silent and Presley falls forward. Mason breaths out eyeing the body of Presley and tucks his gun back in his pants. He turns back to Negan bowing his head.

"my loyalty is to you, she was a problem, i dealt with her myself-"

Mason turns back and waves to two boys.

"put her body in the dump and deal with her. I don't want her turning here it could get messy-"

Two boys nod to him and drag Presley's body off and Negan nods his head.

"calculated like always Mason. I think its time we discussed what to do about Alexandria. I feel its time we as a community came together and deal with our enemies."
