Chapter 99

I leaned forward, resting my hands on the footboard of the bed.

"So half of everything you have right now or the deal's off. You see? I have leverage." I replied.

"Congratulations," He groaned. "You have yourself a deal. You want anything else? Kidney, maybe?" He asked.

-

"You did good today." Rick stated as I walked up the porch steps.

"Thanks." I mumbled.

"We'll win." He assured me.

"We will." I replied, nodding my head.

"Carl, you here?" Rick asked as we walked inside.

"Yeah!" I heard Carl yell from upstairs.

I smiled, taking Judith from Carl's arms as he walked down the stairs.

"How'd it go?" Carl asked.

After informing him on everything, Rick took Judith from my arms.

I walked to the front door, hearing three knocks on the wood.

"Hey." Adam breathed as I opened the door.

"Hi." I mumbled.

"Congrats on the baby." He replied.

"It's already out?" I asked.

"Kinda. I took care of the tape while you were gone." He stated.

"How?" I inquired.

"Broke it." He replied.

"But did you take it away from everyone's minds? Did you take everyone's hurtful words back? Did you take the dirty looks back? Did you tell everyone that I'm not the bad guy?" I fired back.

"Sam, you know I'm sorry. I swear I tried everything, and there's nothing else I can do." He replied.

"Just forget about it, okay?" I replied.

"Will we ever be back to the way we were?" He asked.

"I don't know." I mumbled.

"Look up." He ordered.

I stepped off of the porch before looking up at the stars.

"What's the first word that comes to your head?" He asked.

"Beautiful." I replied.

"That's the first word I think of when I look at you." He replied.

"Where'd you learn that one?" I asked.

"Ah, I found it in a book." He replied, laughing.

I laughed before he dropped to his knees, a bullet through his stomach.

I gasped, my eyes widening as he looked up at me.

"I love you." He replied, his eyes locked with mine.

I looked to where the bullet came from, finding a man with bruises all over his face, standing with a gun.

Rick ran out of the house before Carl pulled me on the porch.

"No!" I screamed, watching as the man pulled the trigger two more times, hitting Adam.

I watched as Rick pulled the trigger on his Python, sending him to hell.

I watched as Rick helped Adam up before helping him get to the infirmary.

"Come on, there could me more out there." Carl replied, attempting to drag me in the house.
