All Out War

Chapter 15

After a surprisingly comfortable ride, we'd reached the Sanctuary. Daryl parked across the gates.

"Check it out," Daryl said handing me a scope.

I nodded and looked out toward the entrance. The walkers were still surrounding it.

"Here. It's still holding up," I said handing the scope to Michonne.

She looked through the scope and looked satisfied.

"What do you need us for?" Rosita asked.

"To end this thing. Right now," Daryl said.

He put the truck in reverse and moved it a little closer. He parked and we all got down. It was time to explain what we had in mind to Michonne and Rosita. Daryl went to keep an eye on the entrance while Tara explained the plan to the two of them.

"Our people are gonna be at the Sanctuary soon. Asking for their surrender," Rosita said after Tara had explained the plan.

"We're almost there," Tara said.

"That's why we do it. We make it happen," Daryl said.

"So we cover you with crossfire from the upper windows. You crash into the walkers and through to the building," Michonne repeated.

"Yup. Crack it wide open. Savior buffet," Tara said.

"And you know the workers will make it away? Up the stairs?" Rosita asked.

"They're on the other side of the building. They should make it," Daryl answered.

"You sure?" she asked again.

"After we do this they're only choice is to give up," Daryl said.

"It's risky. They could see the truck coming," Michonne said.

"Yeah. They could. But with us already hauling ass, they couldn't do anything to stop it," I said.

"There weren't any more weapons at the Saviors warehouse, right? No more rockets for the RPGs. We work with what we got," Tara said.

"You got me," a familiar voice said.

I turned and saw Morgan walking toward us.

"Morgan. Thank God. We weren't sure what had happened to you," I said going up to give him a hug.

"I'm still here. And so are other snipers. Saviors see you coming, we got you covered. Whatever it takes," he said.

"That's more than enough," I said turning to look at the others.

"I want it done. I want them done," Morgan said.

"Good. So we doing this or what?" Daryl said.

"Why don't we wait it out like we planned? I...Michonne's right. What you're talking about is risky things could go bad," Rosita said.

"The truck with the speakers almost took all those walkers away. It almost did go bad. Something else could," Tara said.

"Even if it don't, we don't got the Kingdom fighters no more. And if the Saviors want to put up a fight, we don't got the numbers to make them surrender," Daryl said.

"He's right, guys. If the walkers can take out half of their fighters, we can put an end to this today," I said.

"And that's why Rick is talking to the Scavengers," Rosita said.

"Which is not a guaranteed thing. Those assholes cannot be trusted," I said.

"And you got shot. They lied to us. You...you believe them now?" Tara said.
