Heaven and Monsters

Chapter 4. Fake smile from a liar. Pt.1

A half of a week passed for the run-down mansion and Negan barely made a scratch of dusting away the cobwebs to any room he's allowed to enter. He had thought to himself that he can clean this place by himself but he is so exhausted that sleeping it off won't work. He doubts that his captors would give him a break, as they give him the lease comfy bed he has. Like someone pulls out all of the softness and only left with rusty springs. He wipes his forehead and saw a glimpse of Sally running through the halls. He peaks his head out of the door to see at the end of the hall that Hoodie is talking to Jane while Sally is only bothering them.

He only heard mutterings he can't understand what they're saying and shrugs it off, he isn't planning to bother them to help them with their problems. He's about to resume picking up the rubble until he heard Hoodie yelling "Shut up Sally! Just shut up! Go somewhere else!"

He frowns that Sally of all people would be yelled by her only friends. He hears her footsteps passing by with a deep sadness on her face. He sighs but he knows he should leave her alone a bit. Followed by the yelling, he hears a door slamming very loudly that it echoed the hallway. He hears stomping coming up to his room and looks back to see Hoodie stands there at the door frame with an angry look on his face.

Negan didn't say anything and went back to his work, but he didn't know the reaction from Hoodie as he was decked in the face by him. Stumbling back to the wall, he holds his cheek and glared at him.

"Yo what the f*ck man!" Negan said to him with a bruised cheek. He didn't know how strong Brian is, only smacks behind the head was the case. Brian is pissed. If he breaks anything in this place, he had to clean it up.

"What was the f*cking deal!" Negan demanded in his anger, rubbing his cheek. Brian looks away for a second to think to himself, to mustard up words in this heated argument.

"None of your business, freak!" Brain said to him as he was about to leave until Negan response back " It would be my business if you started to use me as a punching bag!"
"So what! You can heal from it!"
"I can heal, but I still feel pain! Now ex-" Brian interrupts Negan. "I've told you! It is not your business! You just clean!" He yells at him full of anger in the voice.

Negan glares at him for this and wonders a jerk would stay hear like this. Brian seems to calm down a bit that he isn't yelling anymore.

"It...it's complicated," Brian muttered. " You just clean this place. We do our business when we go out." He crosses his arms and tilts his head down.
Negan stands there and continue to glare at him for this, he still wants his answers. The two is silent for a moment until Negan said something to Brian." Whatever it is. I'm sure it's important. So what is it asshole?" Negan said to him, he stopped rubbing his cheek as the bruised healed away.
"I've told you it's-" Brian was stopped as Negan talks over him.
"I know! I know! Why not you tell this, and I can help. So I can get my stuff back and...I'll be out of your guy's hair. Capeesh?" He wanted to make way to help each other, he hopes this deal would work for him.

Brian looks down to thinks about this and groans in annoyance "Fine...Whatever" He looks at Negan " Some of us got caught by the cops and lock up. But the rest of us have to stay here as we can't go out." Brian told him

"Why?" Negan asks him. Brian replied to him "Reasons. Before you got involved. We had to go out during the night but that was shit as...one of us got caught the other day ago." Negan understands this more and more about their problem. "Then his girlfriend tried to find him...than we haven't heard chaser for a while right now.."
Until one more question wants to ask "Where does the part of me getting punch?" "Jesus you're full of questions..." Brain exhausted "Because Jane, Toby, and even my buddy told me we can't get them back. Because 'We would be caught when we try to get them back'. Just... I'm not exactly the one who leaves people behind who's valuable in this place " Brian sighed, slopping his shoulders and stare down his feet.
