Willows

Andrea POV
We all made sure that they were all either knocked out or you know, dead, but they were all still breathing and I gave my team work to do,“Good work team, now let’s move out, Sean, Oscar and Adam, pick those two up. Come on team, let’s secure the place to see if there are any more campers here, Kitana, you’re on lookout” She nodded and ran to the front,”This is gonna be one long ass haul back to base camp”
“Andrea, is this really necessary?” I nodded instantly as I turned to her and walked to her,”Would you prefer if I killed them?”
“You could’ve left them alone after, i mean shooting that guy was not…” I sighed,”He was still breathing, so it was clear that he had a bulletproof vest on, that woman right there confirmed it” She looked over at her,”Who even is that? She looks familiar”
“No name, not yet anyway, when one of them wakes up, we’ll be asking the questions and show them how we interrogate” I was about to walk away,"How does she look familiar Michelle?" She shrugged,"No clue, few of them look familiar" When we got back which unfortunately we had a delay with walkers, so we were gonna have to break the news to the ones that we took, well the remaining, we had 2 women and a man in the room with us because they seem like they were leaders and the others were in the room behind them

Chloe POV
I groaned and woke up in a chair tied up,”Ah shit” I looked around me,”Don’t tell me that we’re back in Oregon” I asked the person on guard,”Willows”
“What?”
“You’re in Willows, but still in California and welcome to a place we like to call Counterpart. Erm what’s your name here?” I said my name and he said that his name was Finley McKinley and to not make fun of his name,”Why did you take us?”
“Andrea said so, she has her reasons and we usually don’t know until well you get what I mean” I nodded as my breath was trembling,”Are you going to kill us?”
“Well considering that those two right there, tied up Adam and Sean, we did the same to all of you, but no I don’t think so, we’re not that bad”  I scoffed lightly that he didn’t hear,”Are you sure about that?”
“We have children”
“Hard to believe that”
“Their names are Sarah, Trey and Emery, Sarah is 8, Trey is 3 and Emery is 5” I nodded,”We needed the supplies for them Chloe, you know you would’ve done the same if you had someone like that”
“We did” I said softly to him,”Their names were Marilyn and Fynn, she just turned 11 that year we lost her and Fynn was 15” He nodded,”We taught her how to shoot, fight, everything she could do to defend herself because we all knew that we couldn’t be there to protect her at all times”
“That’s pretty smart of you guys”
“But in the end, it feels like it was our fault” Then Blaire groaned as she was slowly coming out of it, as time went on, it felt like we were in there for hours wherever the hell we were and this woman comes in,”This is how we interrogate” She pulled out a chair and sat in front of Blaire,”Explain yourself like start with your name”
“Blaire Primus” Then a woman in the corner asked her,”What? Repeat that again” Blaire groaned,”Didn’t hear me the first time?” Then the woman in front of Blaire slapped her,”Don’t answer her like that smartass, now say your name again” She enunciated,”Blaire Primus”
“Blaire?”

Blaire POV
I looked around in the room,”Blaire? Oh my God” This woman came out of the shadow, she had short hair and I remember that voice,”Michelle?”
“We got a reunion in a room now”
“Andrea, no don’t hurt them anymore, they’re good people” Andrea got up,”When was the last time you saw them?”
“About 6 years ago, before I found out that I was going to have Emery” She had a child? Andrea looked at her and I,”She could have changed”
“She did, she changed into the person I knew that she was going to turn into, Blaire where is Dylan?” I looked around for him and I found him,”Can’t believe you guys are still alive, I-I-I thought you were at The Organization by now”
“We were set back, not too long after you left, we got kidnapped into a place for about 6 years, these people here with us, they just wanted out like the 4 of us”
“What about Courtney?” I didn’t answer, it was too much for me, even Chloe, she choked up when she told her,”And Missy got shot when they were caught trying to escape” I remember trying to keep Missy alive after she got shot, I carried her back, but Ronnie pushed her out of my arms and threw me in the cell with Courtney,”Jesus….I’m sorry, I can't believe she did that"
“Wait wait wait I hate to interrupt this little family reunion here, but how do you know each other?” Michelle looked directly at me,”Her and I used to travel together, she looked after my brother and I along with Chloe, Javier, Dylan that helped, we all looked after one another” Andrea was shocked, she didn’t look like it, but I could tell then she walked to her,”What kind of person did you think she was going to turn into?”
“A Leader that she was born to be” I was silent for a moment as she was looking at me,”Release them, if they’re with her, they’re good” She said to the boys, I was released and then counted,”Where are the others?”
“We lost a few on the way over” I counted and Chloe did,”We lost Nolan and Samwise”
“Aw shit” I squatted down,”God damn it” Andrea squatted down with me,”We tried, but there were too much”
“How did we even get here?” Where we were seemed like was in a warehouse or something, it was open spaced though,”You all got here by a wagon, we carried you in wagons, we have remaining donkeys and horses, the walkers were everywhere on our way back” I nodded slowly,”What about the others?”
“They’re in the room back there” I looked behind me, Chloe and I walked over there,”Gwen, Patrick, Tawnin, Skylar, Pete, Arwen, Cayden wait, no, no no”
“Javier’s not in there, where is he?” Andrea looked down,”What did you do to him?”
“I’m sorry” I sighed and I wanted to cry, I wanted to get mad, I wanted to beat the shit out of her, but it wasn’t her fault, Dylan got up and hugged me,”Not another”
“Hey hey Blaire, look at me, look at me” We looked into each other’s eyes,”We lost him Dylan, We lost Nolan and Sam”
“Breathe” He said to me and we took a deep breath together,”We’re gonna get through this” I nodded,”We gotta keep moving, okay Blaire? For them, they would want that”
“For them” He had his hands on both sides of my face, I guess Michelle kinda figured out then and there that him and I are now together, she didn’t really say anything. Andrea came over to us,”I would like to speak with her” He nodded and walked away to Chloe and the others, she sighed,”I’m very sorry for your losses” Did I want to beat the shit out of her? Yes, I really really wanted to, but was it gonna bring all of them back? No, it wasn’t, so I forgave her,”It’s gonna take me a while to trust you, but with Michelle here, it won’t be long, I forgive you” She nodded,”Understandable”
“You know….if she wasn’t here-” She cut me off,”I know, she told me all about you guys, I wasn’t really surprised when she recognized you guys, well Dylan more than you, she said that you had short hair and….” I nodded slowly,”Yeah” She put her hand on my shoulder,”Headed to The Organization?” I nodded again and she smirked,”Why don’t you show us the way?”
