"Stop right there!" A mans voice shouted.

A split second later you all had your guns aimed up at the men on what you assumed was Hilltop's watch platform, but the men only had spears pointed towards the group of you. What the hell were they going to do with spears from this distance?

"Ya gonna make us?" Daryl spat, his shotgun trained on one of the men with spears, your handgun aimed at him too.

"Jesus, what the hell is this?" You questioned.

"Open the gates, Kal. Freddie's hurt." Jesus responded, staring up at the men before he turned back to the rest of you. "Look, sorry about these guys. They get antsy standing there all day doing nothing." He explained turning back to his friends with an annoyed look causing you to chuckle softly, lowering your handgun.

These people weren't a threat, especially with just spears.

"They give up the weapons. Then we'll open the gates." One of the men responded and you just rolled your eyes because you knew Daryl and Rick weren't going to lay down their weapons any time soon.

"We vouch for these people, alright? They saved us out there." Dr Carson was spoke up from behind you somewhere.

"Look, I'm not taking any chances. Tell your guy Gregory to come out here." Rick said, speaking up for the first time as he took a step forward until he was beside Jesus who quickly shook his head.

"No. Don't you see what just happened? I'm letting you keep your guns. Look, we ran out of ammo months ago. I like you people. I trust you. Trust us. Open the gates, Kal." Jesus ordered, turning away from Rick and looking back up at the two men and to your shock the gates suddenly opened.

You stood back for a moment, letting Jesus take the lead as you, Daryl and Rick followed him inside, the others trailing behind you as you took in the large community.

The first thing you noticed was the large mansion looking building in the middle of it which just seemed completely out of place compared to the old wooden barns and small crops that were scattered around the rest of the community.

You took note of the portable trailers lined up along the right side of the community as you eyed the civilians inside cautiously. Jesus had said not many of them were fighters and you figured he was right because most of them didn't even have a knife on them.

You heard Dr Carson say something to Maggie and Glenn about seeing him in the medical trailer when they had time and you smiled softly at the couple who both nodded before Dr Carson walked off with his friends, helping the injured man to what you assumed was the medical trailer.

"There was a materials yard for a power company nearby. That's how we put up the walls. A lot of people came from a FEMA camp. Trailers came with them and that's called Barrington House. Those windows up there let us see for miles in every direction. It's perfect for security. Come on, I'll show you inside." Jesus explained, pointing towards the large mansion, but you were too busy scanning the rest of the community, trying to remember all the buildings and people.

The group of you followed Jesus up the stairs of Barrington House and into the main lobby. It was clear that this building used to a be a museum of some kind with the ancient furniture and paintings on the walls.

Jesus said that they had turned most the rooms into living quarters, but confirmed that it used to a museum.

Suddenly, the door to your left opened and you turned to find an older guy with a grey beard walking out.

"Jesus. You're back... With guests." The man said, looking at the group of you with an unreadable expression.

"Everyone, this is Gregory. He keeps the trains running on time around here." Jesus introduced.
