CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE,
survival of the fittest.
Aiden watched as Dwight got to his knees from where he had been on the floor. "Look at me." Rick growled. "Why?"
"Cause I want it stopped. I want Negan dead." Dwight replied.
"So why don't you kill him?" Rick asked.
"Can't just be me," Dwight said, "they're all Negan."
"That girl you murdered... she had a name." Tara stepped up, "her name was Denise, and she was a doctor. And she helped people."
"I wasn't aiming for her." Dwight said. Daryl lunged forward and grabbed the man. He shoved Dwight against the wall and held his knife inches from his face.
"Do it. Do it." Tara encouraged.
"You wanna end it this way... you go ahead. I'm sorry. I am. I know you want to." Dwight apologized.
"He could just be here to see if you were here." Rick said and Aiden looked at him. She hadn't even thought of that. If that was the case, the couple was screwed ten times over.
"We can't trust him."
"He owned me. But not anymore. What I did, I was doing it for someone else. She just got away." Dwight stated. His wife, Sherri. Daryl told Aiden about her. "So, now I'm here. So are you because of her."
"Do it!" Tara nearly yelled.
"There's another choice." Dwight said.
"Daryl. Daryl, you knew her." Tara was ready to watch this man die for what he did to Denise.
"Negan trusts me. We work together, we can stop him." Dwight said. "You know me then, and you know me now. You know I'm not lying. I'm not."
"Do it. Do it!" Tara yelled. Daryl dropped his arm but kept his hold on Dwight's neck.
"They have Sasha, if she's even alive." Rosita said. Aiden looked down at her hands.
"Why didn't you say something? He could be our only chance to get her back." Jesus said.
"Because I don't trust him. But I trust Daryl." Rosita stated.
"Negan's coming soon. Tomorrow. Three trucks probably. Twenty Saviors and him. I can slow them down, bring some trees down in the road, buy a little time for you guys to get ready. If you can take them out, that's where we start. You kill them, I radio back to the Sanctuary." Dwight said.
"The Sanctuary?" Rick quizzed him.
"Where Negan lives. That's what they call it. I can radio back to them and say everything's okay. You drive the trucks back, and I can lead you right inside, and, with the right plan, we can wipe out the rest. Check to see if your friend's still alive. Then, we get the workers on our side, build our numbers up, and go from outpost to outpost and end this." Dwight said to them all.
"Keep talking." Rick said.
