I exhale, slumping against the wall. Taeyang chuckles, dropping his hand from my mouth and pulling me off the wall into his arms.

"What are you doing here?" I ask, holding onto him tightly.

"Getting my girl back and making sure Maggie doesn't kill me for not," he answers.

"She's okay?" 

"She's fine. She just wants us to get you back," he assures.

I pull back, placing my hands on his cheeks just to make sure he was real.

"Hi, baby," he smiles, kissing my hand.

If I hadn't had that breakdown earlier, I was certain I would be crying now.

I look over seeing Ben was the one that grabbed my bat. Glancing past Taeyang to Sherry, I see Jae was the one that held her there.

And yet, there was only one person I could think of.

Tara.

More specifically, Tara's sister.

Sherry had no place in this mess, she was just dragged into it by Negan. Just as Tara's sister was by the Governor.

I wanted Negan dead- possibly more than I wanted the Governor dead back then. But, I know better.

The best apology is changed behavior.. I couldn't make the same mistake twice.

"Jae, it's okay. She's okay," I quietly call.

"Okay?" he repeats, looking to me over his shoulder.

I step away from Taeyang, closer to him, "Really.. She's okay. I promise."

Jae looks to Taeyang and Ben before his eyes land on me once more and slowly nods. He keeps his eyes careful on Sherry as he takes hesitant steps away from her. Sherry takes a few breaths to calm down, not pulling herself off the wall.

"We were waiting outside and saw Negan leave so we took the chance. He had Carl with him," Ben remembers.

"Long story," I sigh.

"A long story you guys don't have time for.. You need to get the hell out of here," Sherry speaks up.

Surprised, the guys look to her but she only looks to me.

"Daryl too," I add.

Sherry grimaces, "I.. Hana, I don't know if that's possible."

"We'll make it possible," Jae says.

"Sherry," I beg, "Please."

"Okay," she agrees after a few seconds, "But, we have to be smart."

Sherry looks to each of us before waving her hand for us to follow her. The guys don't move as I chase after her and I look back to them, motioning for them to hurry. At once, they begin moving.

She leads us to a room, the same one I was at when I first got here hours ago.

"Hide here. Just give me five minutes. If someone comes, the guys hide and Hana just play it safe," she whispers before closing the door.

I could hear her heels as she walked away and I lean against the door.

"We're trusting one of them?" Jae asks quietly.

"She's not one of them," I deny, "She wants out."

"Look, we'll talk about this when we get out. Until she gets back," Taeyang says, looking to me, "Jesus is outside."

"Jesus is here, too?" I question.

"He snuck onto the truck when they took you, made it back, and led us here. He's keeping watch so we can make it back out," he explains.
