Lewis listens to one of Negan's men yell out

"on behalf of Negan let this be a lesson to all of you these few boys and girls about to die are an example of what happens when you betray Negan. this is mason's fault, remember that as you watch your friends die."

a few of negan's men point their rifles down into the pool at the large group of boys and girls with their arms linked. one of the boys begins shouting loudly

"fuck negan"

the boys and girls in the pool begin chanting together

"fuck negan!"

Lewis grips the younger kids closely and whispers

"it will be okay"

negan's men begin to fire down at the group of boys and girls and jade watches from above but hears one boys yell out.

"save the kids!"

she watches as the boys around her begin charging at negan's men and watches as negan's men fire on them. she goes to turn but is jammed in the face with a gun and falls back into the pool. she blinks hearing the screaming of the boys around her

"link up, save the kids!"

she breathes out hearing the guns fire and hearing the screaming of one of the boys

"lay on them!"

she breaths out looking up at the bodies falling down into the pool and flinches as she comes in contact with a dead body. she breaths out eyeing the refile in his hands and takes it. she checks the clip but hears the screeching

"walkers!"

she aims her gun firing it at the dead body next to her killing the walker. she again hears the screaming as she gets to her knees she stops looking at the pile of bodies and turns her head hearing the loud screams from above her and the sounds of gun fire. she gets up pushing her back to the wall and eyes the movement in the pile of dead bodies. she places her back to the pool wall and begins counting the movements

"one, two, three-"

she feels her hand shake as she hears screams from above sounding like some boys

"don't let them live! kill them all!"

she turns hearing a loud scream and watches a body fall from above her. she breaths out hearing yells and grips her gun tightly hearing more screams

"don't!"

she hears the loud refile shots and bites her lip as she watches the movement of the pile of bodies in front of her. she keeps counting.

"eleven-"

she walks closer with the refile drawn and begins shooting the dead in their head as she counts the movements

"fifteen-"

she stops hearing a voice whisper and watches lewis crawl out from the pile whispering

"23 in all-"

he kicks out from under the pile but stops feeling something grip his leg and yells

"shoot it now!"

he stares down at the dead girl and yells

"jade!"

her body shakes and she whispers

"it',s it's just a child, i"

Lewis reaches for his leg knife and jams it into the girls skull. he turns back to jade shaking his head

"that was a fucking walker-"

he crawls to his feet and limps towards jade asking

"how many survived?"

Jade shakes her head.

"i, i don't know Lewis-"

Lewis grabs the refile from her and shakes his head.

"what the hell were you doing huh? If something happens to me your in charge here. why did you let them act like that?"

Jade stares to Lewis and shakes her head.

"they just did, they wanted to save the kids-"

Lewis shakes his head whispering.

"you better hope we killed them all if we didn't Negan will find out and Mason will be screwed."

Lewis looks around eyeing the pool and nods to himself.

"I'm going to need you to bend down so i can hop up and get out-"

Lewis motions down and Jade whispers.

"maybe i should-"

Lewis shakes his head.

"no, it has to be me."

Jade crouches down and Lewis takes a running start pushing his foot off her shoulders and garbing the pool edge. he pulls himself up and as he does he eyes the scene. He drops himself back down into the pool and shakes his head.

"a lot of dead bodies. Listen closely to me jade I am going to pull myself up, turn and pull you up no hesitation we stick side to side we kill everything then we sweep back to the woods."

Jade whispers.

"why the woods?"

Lewis whispers.

"it provides cover and the murder twins camp out there. if any of the boys wanted to escape they would lead Negan's men there so the twins take them out one by one-"

Lewis pulls himself up and turns gripping onto Jade's hand. He pulls back but watches as another hand comes down gripping onto jade's and pulling her up. He turns eyeing Evan who nod's to him and whispers.

"thought you could use a hand-"

Evan and Lewis pull up Jade. Evan eyes her up and down and grins then turns to Lewis.

"I know what your thinking. Look I lead Negan's men into the woods they should be as good as dead soon. they won't escape. I circled back around to come back here and help you all out. Once they are dead we should move their bodies to the road make it look like an attack-"

Lewis shakes his head.

"you betrayed us-"

Evan looks down into the pit of dead bodies.

"i did what i was ordered Mason told me to go to Negan, I went to Negan."

Lewis whispers.

"Mason?"

Evan crouches down eyeing the dead bodies.

"I didn't expect this, the kids? I mean Negan is bad but killing kids?"

Lewis shakes his head.

"he wanted us to fear him but he just pissed us off-"

Evan grips Lewis arm shaking his head.

"the leadership here was weak without Mason. You need to regroup the survivors, burn the dead, and we need to take care of Negan's men. Ill report back to Negan saying we were attacked. I'm gonna need you to shoot me Lewis-"

Lewis smiles gripping the rifle and whispers.

"what leg?"

Evan pushes the gun down.

"not yet Lewis we should make sure all of Negan's men are dead I'll help out but I need a rifle?"

Lewis laughs.

"so you want me to trust you with a weapon?"

Evan motions down at a rifle.

"we need to get this done, now."
