Malone: *driving* WHAT THE HELL ARE WE EVEN SUPPOSED TO TELL PAUL?!? HES GONNA KILL US!!

Katelyn: fuck I don't know kiddo but we gotta tell him before she ends up dead

Malone: *parks at the gates and gets out limping*

Paul: *runs up* what the hell Malone are you ok?!

Malone: *shakes head* I thought it would be easy to run but my legs are broken

Katelyn: *goes over helping them get inside* no shit

Paul: what happened?! Where's Jackie is she ok?!

Malone: *looks over* no..

-meanwhile....-

Jackie: *sitting in a chair arms tied down to arm rests*

Mark: *steps into room closing door* if I holler come in and shoot her got it? *looks back at the door where his men are hiding behind and looks back at her*

Jackie: *staring at floor in distance*

Mark: I heard somewhere.. you killed a group of negan's people is that true? *tilts head*

Jackie: *remains silent*

Mark: damn hunty.. it was YOU! *chuckles lightly* wow impressive I must say.. *walks up closer*

Jackie: *watches his footsteps and sighs*

Mark: listen Jackie.. we both hate negan very much that's why I would think there's still a chance of us working together with whoever you're from ya know? *shrugs taking out gun unloading it*

Jackie: *watches him unload the gun*

Mark: if only you would tell me who you work with then maybe we could.. become allies? *raises eyebrows* defeat the saviors together and then work together?

Jackie: *scoffs lightly and finally glances up at him* if you wanna work with my people so badly.. why you got me tied down? Why did you kidnap me started a gunfire back there huh?

Mark: *takes a deep breath* you got me there.. I have you tied down for safety and I started that gunfire cause you refused to behave for me..

Jackie: You're that desperate for allies you throw a tantrum with a gunfire if two people wanna walk away? *raises eyebrows* man I wonder what your people went threw you probably forced them into this place

Mark: *glares and steps up wrapping hand around her neck* you know NOTHING! Of what I do here and how I treat my people! Does it look like I wanna put innocent people threw a war with Negan?! That's why I need other people to fight for me

Jackie: does one person not know how to kill here?

Mark: 30.. still not enough I'm not gonna make the young children fight or the mothers who need to remain home to raise their kids

Jackie: *sighs and looks back to the ground once he let go of her neck*

Mark: *inhales* now tell me where you are from

Jackie: *remains silent*

Mark: ...hard way now eh? *walks up behind her and kicks the back of her chair then pulls her back in tugging her hair* tell me *pulls knife out pressing it against her lips* now!

Jackie: *tried to remain calm but starts to whimper softly*

-meanwhile-

Malone: we still need more people Paul! Katelyn is back at the hilltop injured! I can barely walk but I need to save my friend!
