It's been about a week since you first settled into the prison. You've been doing jobs around the place such as keeping watch, killing walkers around the fences, and watching over Carl when Rick would go off to do a task.

That morning, Rick, Daryl, T-Dog, Clementine and you were bringing your cars inside the yard. Clementine had finished bringing in the SUV.

Rick: We need to load up these corpses, so we can burn them.

T-Dog: Gonna be a long day.

Clementine: Where's Glenn and Maggie? We could use some help.

Daryl pointed up at one of the guard towers.

Daryl: Up in the guard tower.

Rick: Guard tower?

You: They were just up there last night.

Daryl began to call out.

Daryl: Glenn! Maggie!

Moments later, Glenn and Maggie stepped out from inside the guard tower and went onto the balcony. Glenn was shirtless and putting on his pants.

Glenn: Hey, what's up, guys?

The five of you laughed as you looked at them from below.

Daryl: You coming?

Glenn: What?

You and Clementine chuckle at Daryl's remark.

Daryl: You comin'?

Glenn looks at Maggie in confusion.

You: Come on down, we need your help.

Glenn: Yeah, okay. We'll be right down.

Rick, Daryl, T-Dog, and Clementine continue to chuckle as the five of you walk off.

Before you can continue working, Daryl spots Axel and Oscar by the gates. This angers Rick. He looks at you.

Rick: Follow me.

You all follow Rick, and meet up with Axel and Oscar.

Axel explains how he doesn't want to live in the cell block filled with his dead friends and memories of what happened. He pleads that Rick allows the both of them to join the group.

Rick: Our deal is not negotiable. You either live in your cell block, or you leave.

Oscar: We've all made mistakes to get in here, chief. And I'm not gonna pretend to be a saint, but believe me....we've paid our due....

You continue to listen.

Oscar: ....enough that we would rather hit the road, than go back into that shithole.

Rick looks at you, then at Daryl. Daryl shakes his head.

Rick decided that sending Axel and Oscar out on the road would be best. Daryl had just came back from locking them out at the front gate as you conversed with Rick. Rick began talking to T-Dog, who was willing to bring the prisoners into the fold.

Rick: Are you serious? You want them living in a cell next to you? They'll just be waiting for a chance to grab our weapons. You want to go back to sleeping with one eye open?

T-Dog: I never stopped.

T-Dog sighed.

T-Dog: Bring them into the fold. If we sent them off packing, we might as well execute them ourselves.
