i followed behind carl who was walking behind his father. negan and a mix of our people and the saviors were in the crowd.
"what do you got for me, rick?" negan asked
rick handed over the guns that had been wrapped up in a black cloth.
negan chuckled and turned to face rick, "well, would you look at that? they were here after all! funny how a little 'holy shit! somebody's gonna die!' lights a fire under everyone's ass." negan mocked
the sound of olivia crying could he heard, negan and rick both looked at her for a moment.
"so, tell me, rick. which one of your fine folks almost cost olivia the rest of her days?" negan asked
"it doesn't matter anymore," rick said
"no, it matters. see, you need to get everybody on board. everybody. or, we just go right back to square one." negan said

the back of one of their trucks closed, they pulled half way out of the gate, negan drove up and parked inside.
he got out of his car and rick met him half way before they walked alittle, negan turned to rick.
"hell of a place you got here, rick." negan said
"give me a second." rick asked
negan turned his head, meeting the gaze of michonne who was watching from the porch. when he saw her she immediately went back inside the house.
whatever their planning is not gonna work now...
"no." negan replied
rick looked down at the ground and nodded his head while he spoke.
"please, can you just..give me a second." rick asked again
negan wore a smirk on his face. happy that he was making rick partially beg for another second.
negan gave a slight nod and rick was on his way. i stood outside, not stuck with negan. but unwilling to move.
negan hummed to himself, i looked around. i heard rick talking the other day. probably to someone else, he was telling someone how we needed daryl back somewhat or another.
i had an idea, but i didn't know if i wanted to go through with it. daryl stood idly by, waiting for negan to give him a command.
not long passed before heavy footsteps repeatedly hit the ground, michonne came down the road with an animal on her back, and a bag in her hand. rick walked a little behind her.
negan turned around, "look at this!" negan said excitedly
"i thought she was scavenging. she was hunting. this one never came inside, we kept it near the line." rick said handing negan a gun.
"look at this! this is something to builds relationship on. good for you, rick. this is readin' the room and gettin' the message. i've said it before, im gonna say it again. you, sir. are special." negan explained
"now that you know we can follow your rules..." rick started
"yessss..?" negan asked
"id like to ask you if daryl can stay," rick asked looking at the ground
"not happenin' " negan replied almost immediately
rick moved his head to the side and gave a look at negan, which negan mocked and gave it right back.
"you know what? i don't know. maybe daryl can plead his case, maybe daryl can sway me. or you can make a trade that i'll like." negan said, he turned towards daryl.
daryl stared at the floor and didn't say anything,
"daryl?" negan asked
nothing. negan smiled and let out a low chuckle after a while of daryl not replying.
"well, you tried. now what you gotta do is get over that tall wall of yours and try harder out there. earn for me. because we're coming back soon , and when we do, you better have something interesting for us, or lucille, she's gonna have her way. i want you to hear that again. if you don't have something interesting for us, somebody's gonna die. and no more magic guns."
negan told his men to wrap everything up and get loaded up.
"wait." rick called out
negan turned around and raised his eyebrows at rick, "wastin' my time, hurry it the fuck up." negan replied
"the trade, what..what do you want?" rick asked
negan smirked, "we'll talk about it next time."

rick, michonne and carl were in the dining room, i originally just wanted to talk with rick. but michonne stuck around and then carl did.
im gonna have a lot more trouble getting this past all of them now..
"you want daryl back...yes..?" i asked
i already knew the answer.
"yes. why are we bringing this up?" rick asked
"because, i have a question. if we have to trade anything, why don't we trade me..there's not a chance that he'll actually take me. but what if we tell them that i've been bitten but haven't yet turned. there's a little bit of a higher chance they'll take me. and you'll get daryl back" i explained
"or they'll kill you," michonne added
"i'm willing the take that chance." i replied
"are you sure this is what you want to do?" rick asked
"yes. i'm sure,"
"ok-"
"dad." carl said
"let her do what she wants to, she's trying to save someone." michonne said to carl.
"yeah with her own life. we can find another way to get daryl back. i'm not letting her go in by herself. " carl said
i just kinda stood there awkwardly, i knew this is what i wanted to do. for everyone else,
