We walk into an old-time looking place. People are walking around cattle, hanging clothes on a clothesline, and walking around a garden.
I walk alongside Daryl and look around at everything.
"There was a materials yard for a power company nearby. That's how we put up the walls. A lot of people came from a FEMA camp. Trailers came with them." Jesus explains
"How did people find out about this place?" Michonne asks
He points to a big town-hall looking house
"That's called Barrington House. The family that owned it, gave it to the state in the '30s. The state turned it into a living history museum. Every elementary school for 50 miles used to come here for field trips. The place was running a long time before the modern world built up around it. I think people came here because they figured it'd keep running after the modern world broke down. Those windows up there let us see for miles in every direction. It's perfect for security. Come on. I'll show inside."
We follow Jesus into a big mansion. We all look around looking at every detail in the house.
"Most of the rooms have been converted to living spaces. Even the ones that weren't bedrooms."
"People live here and the trailers?" Rick asks
"We have to build. There are babies being born."
Two double doors open from behind Daryl and out walks a man in a suit.
"Jesus. You're back. With guests." They say
The man has a strong receding hairline with a grey beard to pair with it. He's wearing a dark grey tux with a blue button up shirt underneath.
"Everyone, this is Gregory. He keeps the trains running in time around here." Jesus says
"I'm the boss," Gregory says
"Well, I'm Rick. We have a community-"
"Why don't y'all get cleaned up, hmm?" Gregory interrupts
'Red flag #1' I tell myself
"We're fine," Rick says
"Jesus will show you where you can get washed up. Then come back down here when you're ready. It's hard to keep this place clean." He says getting close to Rick's face
I step forward but Daryl puts a hand on my shoulder, restraining me from doing so.
"Yeah. Sure."
"Follow me," Jesus says
We all walk up the stairs behind Jesus. I listen in to Rick and Maggie's conversation.
"You clean up first. You talk to him with Karma."
"Why?" Maggie asks
"I shouldn't. And you gotta start doing these things."
Rick falls behind and comes to talk to me.
"I heard." Is all I say
He pats my shoulder proudly
"You're there just in case things go south." He explains
-time skip-
"Gregory," Maggie says through the door
"Natalie, right?" He says
"Maggie." She corrects
"And...Carly, right?"
"Karma," Maggie says for me.
