CONQUER

Me, Glenn, Carol and Abraham went to see Rick. Michonne was watching him. Glenn opened the door and we all walked in. We looked at Rick who had a bunch of bandages on his face

"Where'd you get the gun?" Michonne asked him

"You took it, right? From the armory? That was stupid. Why did you do it?" Carol asked

"Like, I'm all for beating the shit out of that misogynistic pig but.. Rick, what the fuck?" I asked. Rick looked at us

"Just in case" Rick said

"Deanna's planning to have a meeting tonight. For anyone who wants to" Glenn said

"To kick Rick out?" Abraham asked

"To try" Carol said

"We don't know that" I said

"Maggie's with Deanna right now. She's gonna find out what it is" Glenn said

"At the meeting, you say you were worried about someone being abused and no one was doing anything about it. You say you took a gun just to be sure that Jessie was safe from a man who wound up attacking you. You say you'll do whatever you want them to. Just tell them a story that they want to hear. It's what I've been doing since I got here" Carol said

"Why?" Michonne asked

"Because these people are children and children like stories" Carol said

"What happens after all the nice words and they still try to kick him out?" Abraham asked

"I've got a bone to pick with that balding bitch anyways.. you won't have to worry about that.." I said

"They're guarding the armory now" Glenn said

"We still have knives. That's all we'll need against them" Carol said

"Well, tonight at the meeting.. if it looks like it's going bad, I whistle. Carol grabs Deanna, I take Spencer, you grab Reg, Glenn, Abraham, and Y/n, cover us, watch the crowd" Rick said

"We can talk to them" Michonne said

"Yeah, we will. If we can't get through, even with Y/n's underhanded methods, we take the three of them and say we'll slit their throats" Rick said

"Like at Terminus?" Glenn asked

"No, we just tell 'em. They give us the armory and it's over" Rick said

"Did you want this?" Glenn asked. Rick shook his head

"No. I hit my limit. I-I screwed up. And here we are. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm just gonna sleep some more" Rick said as he laid down. We all walked out

I was in the bathroom. My knees against the floor as I leaned over the bathtub. Lyra was splashing in the water as I bathed her. She giggled
