Me and Carl wake up and hear someone in the house. He picks up his gun from off the bedside table and we walk out of our room. We see and guy sitting on the stairs. Carl walks up behind him slowly and pulls out his gun and aims it to the back of his head.
"What the hell are you doing in our house" Carl says
"I'm, uh, sitting on the steps looking at this paint waiting, waiting for your mom and dad to get dressed" the man says "Hi. I'm Jesus"
Carl doesn't have a mom anymore so who the hell does this man think is Carl's mom, and who the hell calls himself Jesus. Then a door opens and people walk out. Me and Carl look behind us.
"Carl, Lilly, hey, um" Rick says
Behind us there is a shirtless Rick and Michonne coming out if Rick's room. Then Daryl, Glenn, Maggie and Abraham come upstairs with their guns drawn.
"It's - it's okay" Michonne says fixing her shirt
"You said we should talk. So let's talk" Rick says to Jesus.
We all go downstairs and sit at the table.
"So how did you get out" Rick ask Jesus
"Well one guard can't cover two exits or third floor windows" Jesus says "Knots untie and locks get picked. Entropy comes from order, right"
"Right" Daryl says
I see Carl keep looking the Michonne. She turns away from him. I kick Carl's leg making him look at me. He gives me a look that says "what" I give him and look back and he just shakes his head and turns back to the conversation going on.
"I checked out your arsenal" Jesus says "I haven't seen anything like that in a long time. You're well equipped, but your provisions are low. Very low for the amount of people you have. 54?"
"More than that" Maggie says
"Well, I appreciate the cookie. My compliments to the chef"
"Yeah she ain't here" Daryl says
"Look, we got off to a bad start. But we're on the same side, the living side. You and Rick had every reason to leave me out there, but you didn't. I'm from a place that's a lot like this one. Part of my job is searching out other settlements to trade with. I took your truck because my community needs things, and both of you looked like trouble. I was wrong. You're good people. And this is a good place. I think our communities may be in the position to help each other"
"Do you have food" Glenn ask
"We started to raise livestock. We scavenge, we grow. Everything from tomatoes to sorghum"
"Tell is why we should believe you" Rick says
"I'll show you. If we take a car, I can take you back home in a day, and you can l se for yourselves who we are and what we offer"
