Break Free

Chapter 54 - Return

After Negan declares all out war on his subjected communities, he and a select few take one truck and head off to Alexandria. The night sky illuminates in Negan's focused eyes as he drives down the long road, his only thought is Jack, the rage burning inside him, he can feel the fire burning in his veins. He is pissed beyond his imagination.

His plan is to mostly negotiate with Rick, like he tried before but he has no idea how to even go about it. Negan has to figure out a way, to even get him to come to the gate and he knows that they most likely have Jack tied up or locked away, and that makes him even more uneasy.

Jack has been through all of that before, and it hurts him so much that she is in this situation again, but he will get her back if he has to kill everyone or if it's the last thing he does he is determined to save her from hell once again.

Back in Alexandria, Jack stares out the small window in her cell, she looks up to the sky and sings a song to calm her shaken up nerves. Next thing she knows is the door opens and in walks Rick, holding a tray of food. He waits for her to make a move before he sets the tray down. "You going to tell me what i want to know?" He says through the bars and Jack sits up but doesn't answer him.

"Fuck off Rick, i already told the widow that i'm not giving up Negan and our home so do what you fucking want i won't do it" Jack says back to him, but she can faintly see him. He slides the tray under the bars.

"Well we're not complete monsters so eat up, you can't starve in there we don't plan on hurting you...yet we need you alive and well for out little deal with your boyfriend, and if he cares about you at all he will comply"

"Well good fuckin' luck with that Rick, because i know you won't win, in fact Negan is most likely going to kill all of you for this so you just take all of this bullshit you're talking and shove it way up your ass, real fucking far too" Jack feels so damn proud of herself right now, if Negan heard her talk like that, he would most likely fuck her brains out and she gets chills down her back.

Rick doesn't say another word and he just leaves, but Jack is reluctant to even trust the food on the plate. Believing they can poison her, but she takes a chance taking the Sandwhich off the plate and devouring it in no time. If they wanted to kill her Rosita would have then and there, and Rick would have by now as well.

Jack looks back down at the plate and sees something that intrigues her a fork. She picks it up and fidgets around with it, she thinks that maybe she can try and pick the lock with it, she will try like hell too if that. Jack makes sure she is not being watched and she steps off the cot and crawls across the floor. She takes off her leather jacket, revealing her tank top underneath, and she raise her arms to steady herself.

Lifting her shirt up, Jack can see the bruising in her ribs has gotten deeper and it pains her to move around to much but she has to try and get out of here and now. Jack wants to get back home and she knows it will take her forever too, since the sanctuary is far but she will do it for her love. She will do anything for Negan, risk her life for him and he would do the same for her.

Jack stands up to feel for the lock and she takes the fork slowly raising her arms to grasp the lock and the fork. She bends the fork trying to get it inside the lock and she picks at it for quite some time, until the fork bends in half but she doesn't give up. After a while she, cuts her finger on the pointy end, and she still doesn't give up. Negan is worth it to her, as blood drips down her hand.

Finally after a while, she struggles to pick the lock but a snapping sound rattles her ears and she drops the bent up metal fork. She rips her tank top at the bottom, revealing her bare stomach, but she doesn't give a shit she would escape in her bra if she had too. Jack wraps the fabric around her finger, and she gets to her feet painfully, to open the cell door grabbing her jacket as well. She makes her way to the other door, but it's jammed shut.
