Senator Reid sits in a chair and hears a voice and looks up eyeing Miya as he nods.
"you made the right choice this job isn't easy but with my help, this community can remain a safe place."
He smiles to himself and Miya comes up to his side as he motions to the chair next to him.
"take a seat."
She sits next to him and he goes through some papers eyeing the writing as he smiles.
"that son of mine he was a born leader his notes are so detailed he had eyes everywhere in every community even inside Negan's. It's possible these outsiders this Rick and Michonne killed him. We can't trust outsiders again not after what Negan did and the children he killed."
Senator Reid places his hand over his eyes and reads his son's words and nods to himself. He skims the pages looking for answers and looks up to Miya.
"the pain he endured for all of you its not something I could ever do right"
He closes the book over and gets up. Senator Reid walks over to the large glass window and stares out it at the green grass and smiles to himself.
"I hope I never have to see this grass die again which is why Miya you have to do exactly as I say. Understood?"
Miya comes up to his side and eyes the grass and feels senator Reid place his hand on her shoulder as he smiles down towards her.
"Mason he may very well be dead allying with alpha and her group is the best option. For now we house them for five days and let them go. During that time we gain as much information as possible and hand it over to alpha as a show of peace. We make sure alpha knows we are of service to her just as mason did with Negan. Its smart and allows us to move more freely and gain the information we need"
Miya looks to senator Reid.
"Negan was more of a human, Alpha shes barbaric. They rape, they murder they don't have names-"
Senator Reid nods understanding.
"society is what society is dear we don't have to agree with their ways we just have to make peace with it and not get in the way. We remain neutral and it allows us to build and strive and then when the time is right we clean up our mess"
Miya clasps her hands together looking out the large glass window and Senator Reid looks her over. He steps closer and places his hand around her pulling her in towards him giving her a small hug.
"it's not an easy choice which is why I will make it and ill deal with the consequence because that's what a father does."
Senator Reid turns back to the desk and sits slowly in the chair. he opens the book again and turns to a small page and stops eyeing a picture of himself, his two sons and his wife. he runs his hands over the picture and hears Miya behind him.
"so is that sam?"
He closes over the books and tucks the picture into his inside pocket nodding to Miya.
"Mason must have so much guilt. He did everything for his brother the kid idolized him and Mason, he just let him die. his own brother he just sent him out there and he knew his brother wouldn't come back"
Miya stares out at the grass and squints eyeing a large crowd. She reaches to the side for the binoculars and puts them to her eyes. her hands shake as she watches the large swarm of walkers coming towards the estate. Miya turns her head and brings down the binoculars and looks out the large glass window. She again lifts her binoculars up and looks more closely as she yells out to Senator Reid.
"we have a problem."
She holds out the binoculars and motions to them.
"take a look."
He stands walking over to her and takes the binoculars looking out as he whispers.
"what am I seeing, a horde?"
Miya replies looking out the window.
"no."
He takes the binoculars away and asks.
"what's going on?"
Miya motions towards the window and eyes the horde of walkers. She sighs and looks at the green grass and turns back to Senator Reid.
"alpha is coming."
He shakes his head disagreeing with Miya.
"that's a horde, not people, it doesn't make sense."
Miya stares out the window eyeing the large horde and shakes her head watching them make their way closer to the estate.
"that's what she wants you to believe. we have to prepare."
Senator Reid eyes her over and shakes his head disagreeing.
"it's a big horde yes but we have weapons. this estate has the advantage our men can handle it. we will send a team out to handle this situation and you can lead them."
Senator Reid smiles to himself and turns to Miya.
"I'm sure being my son's wife and how resourceful you are, you can handle this small task, can't you?"
Miya stares out the window and eyes the horde and turns back to Senator Reid.
"you want me to lead?"
Senator Reid eyes Miya and turns to the window.
"we could debate about who would be better but I am needed here you already told me you cant do this job so I assume you can handle a small horde?"
Senator Reid smiles to himself and looks out the window as he laughs.
"unless I'm wrong? You do want this estate to remain safe, don't you?"
Miya nods her head and eyes the walkers. she stares out the large window at the green grass and bites her lip.
"tell the team to get ready we leave within the hour."
Miya walks out of the office and shuts the door behind her. She walks down the hallway and stops hearing some talking.
"he's trying to take us apart, to ruin what Mason built here."
Miya enters the room and the group grows quiet she walks up to Lewis and whispers.
"we need to talk."
He nods his head nodding the men.
"get ready, we leave as soon as i give the word."
the men nod and Lewis walks off with Miya down the hall. She remains staring forward as she speaks.
"I don't want to risk our men."
Lewis stops and stares at the front doors of the estate and nods his head.
"then we make a deal."
Miya bites her lips and whispers.
"a deal?"
Lewis smiles and stares at the door.
"with Rick, we make a deal he helps us, we help him."
Lewis puts out his hand to Miya and smiles.
"so, do we have a deal?"
