Welcome to The End ( Daryl Dixon x Winchester!Reader )

Chapter 19

The group of you made it back to the car after leaving the Kingdom. You ended up squished beside Tara in the passenger seat together while Rick drove and the others all piled in the backseat.

Everyone was silent in the car as Rick drove down the highway, taking a short cut back to Alexandria before your fathers voice suddenly started talking over the walkie talkie that Jesus had stolen.

You closed your eyes, silently telling yourself that it wasn't your dad. But, hearing his voice again hurt and Rick must have noticed.

"It's not John." He whispered, resting his hand on your knee as he glanced over at you and you met his eyes with a small nod before Rick focused back on the road.

It didn't take long before he quickly came to a stop, drawing your attention way from Negan's voice as he spoke about Fat Joey who he had finally found dead. Shit, they were going to realise that you and Daryl were gone soon then.

"Someone's trying to block the way." Rick suddenly said.

You looked up to find a bunch of cars all parked in a line, blocking the highway off completely.

"Gotta be the Saviours." Jesus responded before something caught your attention out the corner of your eye and you glanced out the passenger side window past Tara's head and that's when you spotted it.

The Saviours compound in the distance. That's where the Sanctuary was.

"Look." Carl suddenly said, clearly spotting the compound the same time you did.

"That's the Sanctuary. They must be trying to make it hard to get to them with these road blocks." You said, glancing back at the lined up cars.

"We gotta keep going. We'll move them and then we'll move them back. They don't need to know we were here." Rick announced and with that the group of you climbed out the car and got to work on shifting the other cars.

It wasn't as hard as you thought it would be. None of the cars had any fuel in them, but with your strength it was easy to just push the cars out the way while someone sat inside steering it in the right direction.

"Rick, come take a look at this." Michonne suddenly said, but you were too busy pushing one of the cars while Carl steered, to take much notice of what she was talking about.

"Guys, let's go have a look at something." Rick called out, but there was a slight uncertainty to his tone that you didn't like, but you quickly followed him and Michonne down the highway towards two more cars and that's when you spotted it.

There was a thick cable running from one car to the other and along the cable were bundles of dynamite tied to it. What the fuck. Why would the Saviours put that here?

"What's all this for?" Michonne asked, thinking the same thing you were.

"Wait. When I was hiding in the back of the truck, I heard a couple of them talking about this. This is for a herd." Carl responded as you crouched down in front of the cable and inspected the explosives.

"That's why it's a steel cable. It's not just for one walker. It's for a lot." You commented,

"We need these explosives. But, we gotta figure out how to disarm it first." Rick responded.

You watched Rosita who seemed to know what she was doing as she started to work with the wires.

Suddenly, Negan's voice filled the air through the walkie talkie again.

"We got ourselves a red situation. I need a search party. See if Daryl and his girl ran home like the dumb animals they are."

"On it. Be there in time for lunch." Simon's voice responded.
