t didn't take Sky very long to locate the place Negan had talked about, and just like he said the side entrance was still chained shut. Of course she didn't have the key, that would just be too damn easy. But what she did happen to have was a pair of bolt cutters in the trunk of the car.

She parked by the door and scanned for walkers before she got out. It took a few tries with the bolt cutters for her to finally break through.

Since it was still all locked up from the saviours previous visit, she was confident she wouldn't have to deal with too many walkers inside, if any. What she was worried about was any coming through the door behind her.

After a bit of careful thinking Sky backed the car right up to the open door. She removed the keys from the car so that no one could come along and drive off with it. Of course she knew it was better to have them in the ignition ready to go in case of walkers, but she couldn't risk losing her ride or her supplies either.

She pulled down the seats in the back so she had more storage space before climbing over the trunk and into the open door. She unlocked the trunk with the key and then set out on her little mission.

She found a small billboard that had a map of the complex and showed where everything was. She decided to go to the grocery store first. The way Negan was talking, they had practically cleared the place out, but she knew they wouldn't have been looking for baby supplies so she might be in luck.

Grabbing a shopping cart she made her way through the store, making sure she had her knife at the ready and her pistol was tucked into the waistband of her pants for easy access in a jam. She started at the checkouts grabbing anything that was left, from packets of jerky to candy bars.

At this point anything would help. Walking through the aisles it didn't seem like there was too much of anything left but she grabbed what she could find in the way of medications, hygiene products and foods.

Sky was delighted when she made it to the aisle of baby products, it was practically full. She grabbed everything from baby wipes to cans and jars of food and almost every tin of formula and packet of diapers she could fit in the cart.

She intended to try and breastfeed her babies, but she knew there was a chance she may not be successful, especially if she didn't have the right nutrition, so it payed to be prepared.

When he cart was full she pushed it back through the complex and loaded all her goods into the trunk of the car, even going back to the grocery store for a second load, making sure she had grabbed all diapers and baby food available. She knew she had to make the most of this trip, they probably wouldn't come back this way again.

There wasn't much left in the way of canned foods but it would do. She also grabbed boxes of crackers, cookies and anything else she could find.

Chances are they would be expired and stale, but food was food. At the end of the world, you couldn't afford to be picky. After loading the second cartful into the car, Sky made her way to the sporting goods store.

She was a little disheartened to find that it was practically empty. Negan and his men had taken all the guns, which of course were now in the hands of Rick and his people. She scouted around the rest of the store, placing anything that might be useful into her trolley.

Hunting knives, hatchets, a couple of sleeping bags, camping lanterns, batteries even some MREs and more jerky. As she neared the back of the store she saw a gun case that still had guns and boxes of ammo and she wondered why the guys hadn't raided this one.

Upon closer inspection the cabinet was locked, but unlike the other glass ones, this one was reinforced with metal bars, so breaking the glass was no good.
