(Y,NN)= Your nickname.

She drilled holes in the roof of a car as another Alexandrian placed sharp spears in each one. For the past three days, they've been doing nothing but planning an attack on The Saviours, for the past three days she's been doing nothing but keeping busy afraid that if she stopped or stepped foot inside that house again her world would come crashing down and she'd be nothing but an empty shell.

"Is he..." She couldn't get the words out her mouth before tears fell as Carl held her close on the couch, 

"No, no, Daryl said someone had broken in the house and taken him. By the time he saw who it was they were already over the wall with Tony, (Y,n) I am so sorry baby... I'm so sorry this happened".

Ignoring the worried stars from Maggie as well as her friends she continued to work on armoring the Vehicles. As far as any could tell... 

All of her hope was gone. 

"When I first met him... Jesus said that my world was gonna get a whole lot bigger" Rick started off holding a rifle in arms while looking around, many of The Hilltop, Alexandria and The Kingdom all had guns and stood around waiting for orders. "Well, we found that world. We found each other. And that... 'Bigger world' is ours by right" Some of the heads in the crowd nodded up at Rick as he stood on the back of a truck, 

"That we've come together for it, all of us... It's that much more true-- It's ours by right and any person who would live in peace and fairness, who would find common ground... It's their right too. But those of us who use and take and kill to carve out the world and make it theirs alone-- we end them" 

(Y,n) gripped her gun as she felt eyes burning a hole in the back of her head, turning around she saw Walt frowning at her probably upset that she's been ignoring their attempts of trying to make her feel her feel better, "We don't... Celebrate it, we don't have shame about it, either. There's only one person who has to die..." Rick held up his index while looking around at everyone, 

"And I will kill him myself".

"I don't know about that..." (Y,n) whispered under her breath causing Maggie to look over at her but once again she paid no attention to her sister in law. 

"But if it's the others... The others who prop him up, stand by his side, even those who just look the other way-- so be it. Then... We keep making the world a bigger place. Together" He smiles and looks over to Ezekiel, "Together" He repeats in his rough voice. "Bound forever! To quote The Bard, 'For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother'" he turns to Maggie and points to her after Rick, 

"And she today... My sister"

The tiger, Shiva, roars a bit as she sits in the back of a pickup truck. It was still a little weird and scary to have an actual tiger in the walls and be so tamed. As Maggie moved to step up onto the truck Walt took her place next to his friend. 

No words were said until Maggie began to say her speech which they both only listened to it halfway, "You know... Usually, when your friends try to cheer you up it works" she didn't say anything as he sighed and shook his head. "If it was The Saviours that took him we'll get him back, I promise"

"No... If anyone but The Saviours took him he's dead. It-It's like he has some kind of radar to where he can tell if someone is bad or good and if he was taken by a Scavenger he's going to cry the entire time Walt-- Walt I don't want to talk about this right now" her voice began to break as he strapped his gun around himself and opened his hand out to her, (Y,n) looked down at it before looking up and shaking her head, "You should hate me" he grabbed her hand when she took to long too take it and smirked,
