You can save all the words. Lori, Shane, Andrea, Glenn...They're all dead, and somewhere along the way, Officer Friendly died right along with em. Just like I did with them.
That's what I know, Rick." The man said.

"Wait, no!" Rick yelled but Daryl pulled the trigger and the arrow hit the man in the face before he could shoot us.

I threw the machine gun to the side and pulled out the rifle. I cocked the gun and shot him in the stomach.

Rick was yelling at me but I kept cocking the gun until there was no stomach left. I pulled the arrow out and threw it behind me. I looked at Morale's face and grabbed the machine gun.

I straddled him and bashed the butt of the gun into his face until it looked just like Glenn. I pushed myself off his body and stood up.

I picked up the other gun and looked at what I did. I was panting and it felt like the best choice I had made in a long time.

"You good?" Daryl asked Rick and we both looked at him. Rick was looking at the body with wide eyes.

"That-T-That was..." Rick started.

"I know who it was. It don't matter. Not one little bit." Daryl told him.

"We knew who he was then and we know who he was when he died. He went from a man trying to help his family through this, to Negan. He admitted it, I know he did." I told Rick and wiped the blood from my face.

Daryl picked up the arrow off the ground and Rick was still looking at us.

"You find them guns?" Daryl asked and there was silence.

"They aren't here." Rick informed us.

"What?" Daryl asked. Rick looked from him to the body. Rick grabbed his gun off the ground and was grabbing for something else.

"He called the Saviors back from the courtyard. We gotta get out before--" A door thudded open in the distance and we all looked at it.

I moved to the corner and Daryl was next to me against the wall.

"They're here." Rick said.


Daryl was running and the two of us were following him. I held up the machine gun and Daryl went around a corner.

"Clear." He whispered.

There was gunshots and it was the door to the elevator.

"Damn it!" Rick yelled and we went out of it.

"I would say the stairs, but they're gonna be there." I said and looked around.

"It's them!" A man yelled.

"There! Go!" Rick said and Daryl started to run but the men were coming down the hallway. On both sides.

I leaned over and shot them coming from the right. Rick was doing the same thing but they were hiding around the corners.

There was a man running down the way Daryl was and I stepped into the hallway to shoot him dead. Rick pulled me back and I was behind the wall again.

We were still shooting and Rick ran out of ammo. He leaned back and I shot down our side of the hallway while he grabbed his handgun.

I was still shooting with the machine gun and they were looking at each other. I shot one of the men but they're were still more.

The three of us were still shooting at them and it would be a matter of time before something big happens.

"Hey! Hey!" Daryl yelled and we looked at him.

"I'm out!" Daryl yelled and the people on his side we're moving in.
