We wake up getting everything ready who knows we are going to go maybe somewhere
Hey Maggie calls to us i looked up to see Maggie Sasha with someone
Everyone...
Who is that Cameron asked
This is Aaron Maggie tells everyone everyone looked up pointed at Aaron Then daryl leaves checking out if anyone has come in
We met him outside he's by himself we took his and we took his gear Maggie tells us as Daryl checks him We all looked at him not saying anything
Hi he said then Judith started to cry
It's nice to meet you he said trying to step forward but he stopped
You said he had a weapon Rick question Then Maggie went over to rick giving it Rick then he puts his in back pocket
There's something you need Rick asked
He has a camp nearly he wants us to audition for membership Sasha tells Rick
I wish there was another word Audition makes it sound like we're some kind of a dance troupe that's only on Friday nights he tells him i raise a eyebrow to him
Um and it's not a camp it's a community I think you all would make valuable additions but it's not my call my job is to convince you all to follow me back home he tells us
I know if I were I wouldn't go either not until i knew exactly what I was getting into Sasha can you hand my pack he asked I walked to him I grabbed his pack I give it to Rick
Front pocket there's an envelope he tells Rick Rick goes through it taking a look
There's no way I could convince you to come with me just by talking about our community that's why I brought those I apologise in advance for the picture quality we just found an old camera store last-
nobody gives a shit Daryl speaks up
You're absolutely 100% right Aaron tells him I chuckled quietly Rick takes a look at photos
That's the first picture I wanted to show you because nothing I say about our community will matter unless you know you'll safe if you join us you will be
Each panel in that wall is a 15-foot-high 12-foot-wide slab of solid steel framed by cold-rolled steel beams and squares tubing he tells us
Nothing alive or dead gets through that without our say so like I said security is obviously important in fact there's only one resource more critical to our community's survival the people he stops
Together we're strong you can make us even stronger he said A continual on when Rick was walking up to him and punched him in the face then he went down to the floor
Ohh that's going to hurt I whispered Then everyone went to check up on him
Yeah no your not wrong Cameron tells me
Everybody else we need eyes in every direction they're coming for us rick tells us
We might not know joe or when but they are he tells us
Me and Sasha we didn't see him if he had wanted to hurt us he could've Maggie tells Rick
Anybody see anything Rick asked
Just a lot of places to hide Cameron letter rick know
All right keep looking Rick demented
You get it boss I said looking around
That's a hell of a right cross there Rick Aaron tells him
Sit him up Rick tells Maggie then
I think it's better if...
It's okay he said groaned
He's fine sit him up Rick told her again then michonne does sit him up
You're being cautious I completely understand Aaron tells them
How many of your people are out there? Rick asked
I mean you have a flash gun you have it to signal your people how many of them are there? I asked him
Does it matter Aaron sighs
Yes yes it does Rick agree with me
I mean of course it matters how many people are actually out there but does it matter how many people I tell you are out people because I'm pretty sure no matter what number I say...eight, 32, 444, zero, no matter what I say you're not going to trust me he tells us
Well it's hard to trust anyone who smiles after getting punched in the face Cameron tells him
How about a guy who leaves bottles of water for you in the road? He spoke back we all looked back at the bottles of water then we looked back at him
How long you people been following us daryl asked
Long enough to see that practically ignore a pack of roamers on your trail long enough to see that despite a lack of food and water you never turned on each other you're survivors and you're people like I said, and I hope you won't punch me for saying it again that is the most important resource in the world he tells us we all stayed quiet as rick walks up to him Ellie holds my hand I looked at her
You okay I whispered
I don't know maybe he's right she tells me
We're see if he's right or not okay I said she nods her head then she wraps her arms around me
How many others are out there? Rick asked again
One Aaron tells Rick
I knew you wouldn't believe me. If it's not words if it's now pictures what would it take to convince you that this is for real? He asked Maggie gets up
What if I drove you to the community? All of you we leave now we'll get there by lunch he tells Rick
I'm not sure how the 17 of us are going to fit in the car you and your one friend dove here in. I told him
We drove separately if we a found a group we wanted to be able to bring them all home. There's enough room for all of us he tells us
And you're parked just a couple miles away right? Carol asked
East on ridge road just after you hit round 16. We wanted to get them closer but then the storm came blocked the road we couldn't clean it Aaron tells us
Yeah, you're really thought this through rick said
Rick if I want to ambush you I'd do it here. You know light the barn on the fire while you slept pick you off as you ran out the only exit you can trust me Aaron tells him we all stayed quiet not saying anything
I'll check out the cars michonne tells him
There aren't any cars Rick tells her
There's only one way to find out
We don't need to find out Rick tells her
We do you know what you know and you're sure of it but I'm not she said
Me neither Maggie speaks up
Your way is dangerous, mine isn't. Rick tells michonne
Passing up someplace where we can live where Judith can live? That's pretty dangerous we need to find out what this is michonne tells him
We can handle ourselves so that's what we're gonna do she said
Then I will too I'll go Glenn tells Rick
Count me in Ellie tells them
You sure I asked
Yeah I need to get out she tells me I nodded my head I kissed her head
Abraham rick calls to him Abraham nods to go with them
Yeah I'll walk with them he said
Rosita rick asked
Okay she said
I'm going with them dad Ellie tells him then I walked to Ellie
Be safe okay I told her
You know I will she said we both shared a kiss then Daryl picks Aaron up takes him to the corner and sits him down
If you're not back in 60 minutes we'll come which might be just what they want Rick tells them then they went out
She will be alright she's strong Cameron tells me I nod my head
If we're all in here we're target rick tells us
I've got the area covered daryl tells him then he goes outside
All right groups of two find somewhere safe within eyeshot I went outside then rick stops me and Cameron
I need you two stay rick tells us
Get it boss I said
When the world was still world I worked for an NGO our mission was to deliver medical and food to the Niger River delta bad people pointed guns in the face every other week you're not bad people you're not going to kill us and we are definitely not going to kill you
Just because we're good people doesn't mean we won't kill you Cameron tells him
If the five of them aren't back in an hour I'll put a knife in the base of your skull Rick tells him rick close the door
___________________________________
I cleaned up my knife then Cameron comes up to me
I think I remember rick he tells me
How I asked
You remember how I told my dad was Shane he asked
Of course
Well I think remember him he tells me then Judith started to cry
You did see the of application in my bag right? Aaron asked
This isn't a trick this isn't about trying to make you like me too it's self-preservation because if the roamers hear her and come this way I know I'll be the first to go Aaron tells him
Go talk to Rick he will understand I told him he nods head then he went up to talk to him then I continue to clean my knife
______________________________
Everyone was back Aaron was telling the truth he came with 2 things car and van and yeah food too
This this is ours now rick tells Aaron
There's more then enough it's our whether or not we go to your camp rick tells Aaron
What do you why wouldn't we go Carl asked
If he were lying or he wanted to hurt us...but he isn't, and he doesn't. We need this so we're going all of us Michonne tells us
Somebody say something if they feel differently
I don't know man this Barn smells like horse shit Daryl tells us
Yeah we're going rick agree
So where are we going rick asked
Where's your camp I asked
Well every fine I've done this, I've been behind the wheel driving recruits back I believe you're good people I've bet my life on it I'm just not ready to bet my friends' lives just yet
You're not driving so if you want to get home you'll have to tell us Michonne tells them Then rick kneeled down with the map
Go north on route 16 Arron tells him
And then I asked
I'll tell you when we get there Aaron tells me
We'll take 23 north you'll give us directions from here
That's.. I don't know how else to say it that's a bad idea we've cleared 16 I'll be faster Aaron answer back
We'll take 23 we leave at sundown Rick tells him
We're doing this at night Sasha asked
Look I know it's dangerous but it's better then riding up to the gates during the day if it's isn't safe we need to get gone before they know we're there Rick tells her
No one is going to hurt you you're trying to protect your group but you're putting them in danger Aaron tells Rick
Tell me where the camp is we'll leave right now Rick tells him
It's that fucking simple I told him He looks away
It's going to be a long night eat get some rest if you can Rick tells us then walks off then I went outside
Rick I don't want to be that's a tough situation but I think Cameron wants to talk to you whenever you have the time I told him
Talk to him ash don't worry have something to eat first then I talk to him thanks for letting me know kid he tells me I nodded my head then I went inside had something to eat then Ellie lays down next to me
You okay I asked
