Chapter 5

*Carl's P.O.V*

We were just leaning in to kiss when we heard a noise. I don't even know what it was. I stood up and Ali did too. I grabbed a gun and started to walk towards it but not before I turned back to Ali who was following me.

"Stay behind me." I instructed and she nodded.

I walked into the direction where I heard the noise and saw a man. A man who I didn't know at all. Why was he in my house?

"What the hell are you doing in our house?" I asked putting a gun at him.

"I'm uh, sitting on the steps, looking at this painting, waiting for your mom and dad to get dressed." He said. I titled my head.

"Hi, I'm Jesus." the guy said.

I then heard noises and Ali and I turned to see my dad and Michonne. What the?

"Carl." My dad said.

Then the rest of the gang came up and was putting a gun to him.

"It's okay." Michonne said.

"He said we should talk." my dad said.

"So let's talk." my dad then said and we all had to go.

I gave Ali a look to let her follow me and she did. We went into a room and we all sat down. Ali was next to me. I put my hand around her chair as a way of protecting her.

"How did you get out?" my dad asked Jesus.

"One guard can't cover two exits. Third floor windows, knots untie and locks get picked. Entry comes from order, right?" Jesus asked.

"Right." Dad said.

"You're well equiped. But your provisions are low, very low for the amount of people you have. 54?"

"More than that." Maggie said.

"Well I appreciate the cooking, compliments to the chef." Jesus said.

"She ain't here." Daryl said.

"Look we got off at a bad start but we're on the same side. The living side." Jesus said.

"You and Rick had every reason to leave me out there but you didn't. I'm from a place that is just like this one. Part of my job is to search sentiments to trade with. I took your truck because my community needs things and both of you look like trouble. You're good people, this is a good place. I think our communities is in a position to help each other." Jesus said.

"Do you have food?" Glenn asked.

"We started to raise livestock, we scavege, we grow everything from tomatoes to sorgen." Jesus said.

"Tell us why we should believe you." Dad said.

"I'll show you. We take a car, I can take you back home in a day and you can all see for yourselves who we are and what we have to offer." Jesus said.

"Wait, your're looking for more settlements. You mean you're already training with other groups?" Maggie asked.

'Your world is about to get a whole lot bigger." Jesus said with a grin.

What is with the grin?

They had decided to go and I just went back to the living room with Ali.

"Do you believe anything that he is saying?" she asked me.

"I have no clue. But I guess we are gonna have to find out." I said.

"Are we going with them?" I immediately shook my head at her question.
