AS THE GROUP loaded their weapons and sharpened their knives, Rick began to speak.
"They think they're in control. We're in here and they could be anywhere." He began grimly. "But we know exactly where they are."
"Plans got stones, I'll give you that." Abraham admitted from his seat next to the Espinosa sisters.
"Make our move before they do." Glenn nodded along.
Rick nodded as well, glancing at the young man. "That's right. They're not counting on us thinking straight."
"Are we?" Rosita piped in. "I'm just making sure. It's a big play."
Rick stepped closer to her. "Remember what these people are capable of." There was a long moment of silence. "Tyreese?"

When those who would fight left, Gabriel locked the back room with Ellie, Carl, Mimi, Rosita, Tara, Bob, Tyreese, Eugene, Judith, and AJ inside.
Carl was standing anxiously, tapping the grip of his gun, just waiting for something to happen.
Ellie was leaned against the wall next to where Mimi and Rosita sat. It was the perfect place to keep an eye on AJ, who sat tucked in the corner with Judith held tightly in his arms.
