The start

Be My Sharp Shot

He then opens it as Sasha not as a person but as a walker tackles Negan to the ground.

"Holy goddamn!" Negan falls off the truck as bullets go past my head. I jump off the truck and shoot. I take cover over by Simon as walker Sasha takes out one of our guys. Negan crawls over to us as Simon helps him.

"Plan "B" it is!" Negan shouts. We scatter around the place and take down as much people as possibly. Negan, Dwight, Simon and I head to the center field where we waited for their leader. Jadis walks up to us with the leader as one of our guys kneels down a kid. The kid stares at me uncomfortably.

Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.

"Hello again." Negan smiles as Dwight hands him Lucille. The guy looked injured. I'm sure Jadis put a bullet or two in him.

"Down. Or again." Jadis tells the guy as he gets on his knees.

"Well, shit, Rick. You just couldn't stick with us, huh? You had to go with these filthy garbage people? No offense." Negan looks at Jadis.

"Deal is for 12, yes?" Jadis asked.

10, People are a resource." Negan corrects her. They stare off at each other as I held my gun close.

"10." Jadis agreed.

"Rick. This is just gonna make you sad. Broken. You're gonna wish you were dead. I like having fun. I do. But maybe you think that the guy that did what he did to your friends wasn't me, like that was some sort of a put-on, like I'm not the guy with the bat -- I'm just the guy that makes your kid spaghetti." Negan reminds him. Negan paces around as I stood next to Dwight.

"Oh. Oh, shit. Maybe this is on me. Maybe this is all on me. I gotta make it right. I guess I gotta start all over again. I gotta tell you, Rick, if I had a kid, I'd want him to be just like your kid, which makes this so much harder."

"You're not gonna win." The kid looks up at Negan.

"Carl. It is over. Why don't you point your one ball up the street there and take it all in?" Negan suggested. It was silent as I look around the place. Bodies were becoming mountains. I didn't know how I should feel about this. I shouldn't feel anything. A scream interrupts my thoughts as I see further in the distance a woman falling out of a balcony hitting the ground.

"Ohh. Oh. Wow." Negan kneels beside the guy.

"You just lost somebody important to you right now, like just now. Jesus. That is timing. Well, Rick you chose this. I truly don't know what more I could've done to warn you. And this isn't a warning. This is punishment. I'm gonna kill Carl now. I'm gonna make it one nice, hard swing, try to do it in one because I like him. I just want you to put that in your brain and roll it around for a minute. I'm gonna kill Carl, and then Lucille here, she's gonna take your hands." Negan threatens.

"You can do it right in front of me. You can take my hands. I told you already -- I'm gonna kill you. All of you. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but nothing is gonna change that -- nothing. You're all already dead." The Rick guy threatens us. I pull out my knives and start forward.

"Ah ah ah. Its alright Harls. The man made his choice. I've got this." Negan assures me. I step back and put the knives back.

"Damn. Wow, Rick. Okay. You said I could do it." Negan stands up and takes the hat off te kid. He gets ready to swing but before he could do it a tiger attacks one of our guys. A. Tiger. In shock I grab my gun and take cover with Negan. Men on horses come running in side. I was trying to decipher what the man in dreads was saying. Sounded like he was from the Renaissance era. My eyes stayed locked on the tiger. Like where did it come from?

"A goddamn tiger!" Negan comments. Dwight tripped as I help him up and pull him along.

"That widow is alive, guns a-blazin'!You taste that, Simon? That is the taste of shit! Lets go Harls." Negan laughs as I shoot a couple of guys that were getting close to Negan. We head back to the trucks. Flares were being shot as smoke cans were thrown.

"Be my sharp shot Harls. Your transportation will be waiting for you." Negan tells me as he gets into the truck.

I nod my head and run to a truck that was sturdy. I climb up on top and start shooting. While the rest of our team was trying to get out I kept shooting. The ragged man stops shooting in my area and runs toward me. I kill one last person and then jump off the truck. I look around for my get away car or something and saw a motorcycle. I get on and ride out of the place.

"Harley!" The ragged man stares at me. I felt like I knew him. I head back to the compound. I park the bike as I go straight to Negan. He laughs and smiles as his hand goes up to my cheek and rubs it from my cheekbone to my temple.

Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.

"Glad you came back." He chuckles. I nod my head as Simon, Dwight and Eugene joins us.

"Getting preparations in place." Simon clears his throat as we walk out.

"Everyone's on blue level. You say the word, they're ready to go." Dwight spoke.

"That's good." Negan tells them. He turns around and points Lucille at Eugene.

"How the hell do you think she wound up dead in that box?" He asked.

"My, um, best possible posit fingers the tarp. That sealed up said box good and tight. She ran out of air." Eugene answers. Negan gets closer to Eugene and looks him in the eyes.

"Maybe." Negan sighs. He turns around as we face the crowd.

"So we are going to war!" Negan yells.

"Yes, sir!" everyone spoke. Negan looks at Dwight, Simon and I as we nod our heads. Its war.

Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.
