2. Never Tear Us Apart

-tension boiling-

MEETING

Over the next following days, the group received a letter from Andrea, telling them that the Governor wanted to sort something out for the goodness of his people and to save his damn ass.

Rick, Daryl, Theo and Herschel were the ones visiting.

Theo's bruises were healing, but emotionally, she was still struggling with the news of losing a baby she didn't even know she had; she was worried about seeing the Governor simply because she might kill him as soon as she saw him.

Daryl took his bike while the others went in the car. When they arrived, it was quiet, too quiet.

"Herschel waited in the car and came round after a couple of minutes when we knew it was safe. You two were with me," Rick explained.

They slowly flanked around the area when they came across a large warehouse. Rick signalled for Daryl and Theo to go around the back while he went in the front.

"Can we talk yet?" Daryl asked, keeping an eye out

"Yeah, only if it involves what to do if the Governor turns up", Theo said, not making eye contact. Daryl was about to say something else when they caught sight of the Governor in the window.

They ducked down and watched through the window.

Theo noticed Daryl become tense.

"Not now", Theo reminded him, pulling his arm down.

"You attacked us; you hurt my daughter," Rick said from inside the building, venom lacing his voice. 

"Imma kill him", Daryl whispered, biting his fingernails.

"You shot first, and I am truly sorry about your daughter, but I can't help but think I sent the right message, not to piss me off", The Governor announced.

"Daryl." She tried to calm him by looking directly at him. 

"Imma send a bolt...right through his other eye," Daryl whispered angrily, his nose scrunching.

"Daryl", Theo made him look at her.

She looked at his eyes.

"Please", She begged; his voice made him stop. 

He instantly calmed down before they slowly backed up, noticing Herschel entering the area.

"Anything?" Herschel asked, heading over to the others. 

"He is already in there, but something doesn't seem right", Daryl explained, pulling his crossbow off his shoulder.

But just in time, one of the Governor's trucks arrived, Andrea and two other men jumping out.

"Rick here?" She asked, looking at them.

"Your man is already inside", Daryl informed her

Andrea sighed before walking inside the building.

Theo watched her walk away. 

She was pissed off that someone that once stood with them now stood opposite and against them. 

One of the men was Martinez, the Governor's right-hand man; the other was Milton, whose purpose was unclear.

"Who are you?" Daryl asked, looking the nerdy-looking man up and down.

"Milton" He nodded

"Great, he bought his butler," Daryl sarcastically said, causing Theo and Martinez to smirk.

Theo hadn't seen Martinez before; she didn't remember seeing him anyway.

Theo jumped on the car's hood, playing with her bat, her sight not leaving Martinez.
