The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

41

A truck pulls up to a large row of houses and Negan gets out of the back looking around.

"well, isn't this surprising"

Lewis gets out after him and comments staring at the large group of men in military attire.

"don't make any sudden moves, these people, they don't like strangers"

A man in military attire comes up to lewis and Negan and salutes Lewis.

"lieutenant, I haven't seen you in a while"

Lewis nods his head and the man holds out his hand to Negan.

"and you are?"

Negan stares down the man's hand and presses his hand over the other man's lowring the man's hand down as he states

"what exactly is this shit lewis?"

Lewis nods to Negan

"the patriot's, a  group who now answer to Mason. They belong to special forces of the army"

The man in military attire nods his head

"very good Mr. Hirst. we are also known as-"

the man points to a large patch on his arm with the number 8.

"division 8, we operated across the country. however, we are the original team our job was to ensure the safety of the last seat of government. so that once our teams wipe this walker plague from America we can regain stability and rebuild"

Negan turns his head sideways asking

"you think that's possible?"

The man eyes over Negan

"i do Negan, that is your name correct?"

Negan nods his head and the man smiles

"don't look surprised we have eyes in every community, even yours and we take note of leadership and how communities are run. Your barter system is unique a sort of barter trade system with one leadership"

The man steps closer to Negan and eyes him over

"but its not perfect, we need to reestablish stability"

Negan looks down at the man

"well sometimes-:

Negan eyes Lucile and smiles

"you need to use a little force"

A man interrupts walking up to the man in military attire and whispers something into his ear. The man nods his head and the other man walks away. He turns to Lewis nodding.

"it seems Alpha has made her move on the estate and as my eyes have told me she also made a move on Alexandria. We are planning to get teams together to help clear the estate that is priority right now"

Lewis nods his head and motions to the man

"i need a team of my own"

the man looks him over and shakes his head

"no, you will stay here, protected as ordered. my men will take care of the clearing you know the rules Hirst"

Lewis steps towards the man nodding.

"i do, but its my home"

The man nods his head understanding 

"you are not needed at the estate. you will lead a small group to the kingdom and head negotiations with the king"

Lewis looks over the guy and comments

"your joking?"

The man reaches in his pocket and pulls out an envelope and Lewis takes it looking down at it and runs his fingers over the seal with the dark R and the man nods his head 

"orders are orders Maosn gives them and we follow, for now"

The man walks off but Lewis interrupts him yelling.

"what about Alexandria?"

The man smiles to himself and looks back.

"what about it?"

Lewis steps forward looking at the army of men and back to the leader.

"people are there, kids are there. we need people"

The man taps his gun and Lewis steps closer whispering.

"let me go. All i need is a small group, we help them and they will return the favor"

The man glances to Negan than to Lewis and shakes his head.

"do as ordered, go to the kingdom, negotiate with Ezekiel. then to the hilltop and meet with their new leader Maggie is her name"

Lewis steps closer but the men around him raise their guns and the man nods.

"i get your stance Lewis but they aren't our people. we have an agreement with Mason. we keep that estate safe for the future of this country. Don't let your kind heart rule your decisions"

The man taps Lewis on the side of the head and the man looks to the envelope.

"read your orders, Mason is at Alexandria now let him hold it down there trust in your leadership as we do"

Lewis steps back and looks to Negan who turns his head sideways.

"I've only seen that shit face one other time. The day we met"

Lewis eyes the patriots and motions to Negan as he asks.

"would you be able to regroup everyone?"

Negan grips his bat and eyes over the army and asks.

"everyone?"

Lewis grins and turns to Negan as he whispers.

"the woods, go to them and see for yourself and don't let anyone follow you there"

Lewis glances to the patriots and whispers to Negan

"the whisperers aren't at their camp. we only have one shot to do this"

Negan turns his head sideways and asks

"what is it you want us to do?"

Lewis smiles to himself and turns to Negan

"you want your revenge right?"

Negan eyes his bat and Lewis whispers to him

"just find the cabin there will be something there that can help the saviors"

Negan eyes the men around him packing up as he tightens his grip on Lucile ad asks

"why, i know damn well you didn't like the saviors. I wouldn't doubt if you helped the whisperers destroy my home"

Lewis grins and turns to Negan

"if i destroyed your home Negan do you really think people would have lived?"

Negan laughs to himself and Lewis nods to him.

"the world needs its saviors"

Lewis whispers to Negan as he nods to him.

"find that cabin and wait"

Lewis goes to walk away and Negan asks.

"what exactly would i be waiting for?" 

Lewis turns back and nods

"you'll know when you see it"
