A loud bell can be heard by Jack's ears before the sounds of the gates to Hilltop Colony open as the roar of the saviors trucks enter the gates. Jack stands patiently inside the huge house awaiting their arrival. She takes a few more sips from the bottle of gin, leaning against a chair. The door opens and countless saviors file in with their guns and serious looking faces.

Jack has to laugh at how some of her boyfriends men look, they never make any type of face, they are always so up tight. As they file in slowly, Gregory comes out of his office, and greets them. He gives Jack a reassuring look over the deal they just made. Jack feels a lot better now that Cash will be safe here, she can't always keep him safe at the sanctuary, and here he will have a barn to sleep in and food.

Simon makes his way in behind the other guys, they make eye contact with Jack and they immediately know who she is. "Jack, how come you're here Negan is about ready to lose his mind cause you left" Simon looks to Jack and tells her.

"I got lost on my way back this morning, so they found me and brought me back here" Jack crosses her arms as the mustached savior looks to her. She assumes that Simon is not up Negan's ass anymore, since Jack was found. Simon knows that Negan is whipped big time, so he honestly thinks to himself that Jack must have good pussy, because he has known Negan for years and he believes that this is the first girl he has been this serious about.

Even when Negan was with Lucille, he wasn't like this, and Simon is happy for him in a way. Most of the saviors have noticed, that Negan has gone a little soft other than burning people but other than that he has changed.

"Well that is good to know, when we're done here you can come back with us, Negan needs you back in the worst way, he was pretty damn mopey all night so this is good that you are here and not lost out there or worse"

"Really, i know that he was mad at me for leaving but i just needed the night to think about it"

Gregory walks out of his office as two men carry in a box. "Simon..hello" his raspy voice says out loud and Jack rolls her eyes. Gregory is such a weasel it's pathetic. He better keep his word or Negan won't hesitate to come back here an do some punishing with Lucille.

"Right back at you Gregory, hello" the two men bring their hands together for a handshake.

"We weren't expecting you back so soon, you want to talk in my office, Jack here has some gin we can crack one open and have ourselves a drink, you're a gin man right?"

Jack sits back on the chair taking one more sip before putting the cap back on and placing it in the box. She listens carefully as Gregory tries to persuade Simon for a drink, but he has other things on his mind. Jack knows and remembers what Negan said before she left last night the spare doctor carson.

He must have meant this one here, Harlan but she wonders if he is related to the other Dr. Carson who unfortunately is dead now.

"Oh, i'm a man of...shifting specifics of tastes in transition, so right now not really into gin, more so into tequila now...Anejo. Reposado, sipping, mixing. Gin seems like turpentine, it happened quick with a gimlet the other night.

What the fuck is he talking about, i really have no idea. To me Simon is speaking gibberish and Gregory looks rather confused to. I wish he could get to the point of why they are here so i can get home. I can't spend another minute without Negan, every aching second without him is making me feel horrible. I need my man to hold me again and never let me go, so come the fuck on Simon and get with the damn program.

Simon takes a deep breath. "I'm an unusual kind of creature" he says flat out and Jack cracks up hiding her face as she laughs. She doesn't know Simon that well but from what she can tell he really is a character. She can see why Negan admires him well, she can tell they get along rather well.
