-negotiation-



Glenn explained his plan clearly as everyone listened carefully. 

"So?" Glenn asked, looking around the room at everyone. 

It was silent until it broke into an argument, making Glenn sigh. 

"You are not going on your own!" Theo demanded

"I agree, and I don't even like you that much," Daryl said, earning a sharp glare from Glenn.

"It will be faster, in and out, go down this alley", he said, following a stapler over the map he had drawn up. "I do this all the time, alone. I always come into the city on my own, and funny enough, as soon as I bring people with me...shit hits the fan. So, can you let me do this?" Glenn sighed as everyone continued to listen. 

He continued with his plan.

"What did you do before this?" She asked Glenn, realising she didn't know.

"Delivered pizzas", he said, raising a brow with a small smile, causing Theo to laugh. 

She smiled at him before they carried out the plan.

Theo followed Rick and T-Dog, while Daryl and Glenn went another way.

"Is this dumb?" She asked, checking her gun.

"Stupid", T-Dog answered without turning to look at her. 

They waited, only knowing that they were there as things went south

Suddenly, there was a lot of shouting in different languages. This caused the three to wait down a different road to run in that direction.

They turned the corner and were met with Daryl.

"What the hell, where is Glenn?" Theo asked, panicked; she knew he shouldn't have gone on his own

Rick shoved Daryl off of a strange boy who they didn't know. Or where he came from.

Theo walked over to him, stopping the young-looking boy from running, causing him to punch her in the face. 

She wasn't too taken back by the pain, only knocking her slightly, making T-Dog step in, but when she was back and steady, she managed to place a clean, hard punch across the boy's face, sending him to the floor in pain.

"You alright?" Rick asked her as she wiped the small amount of blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand before nodding. She ran her tongue over her teeth, checking they were all still there.

"They took Glenn," Daryl yelled, flustered and mad.

"To the ladder, go!" Rick yelled as walkers blocked them off from the other side.

As they all ran to the ladder, Rick grabbed the boy to follow, and Daryl ran next to Theo.

"Ya alright?" Daryl asked, her concern.

"He punches like a girl," she laughed as the young boy looked back at her, scared, Causing Daryl to smile, too.

They finally got to safety, and all entered a room and started interrogating the guy.

"We just want to know where your men went," Rick calmly stated as he looked down at the boy they had tied to a radiator. 

"I'm not telling you shit!" he answered, making the rest of them sigh in annoyance.

"They took Glenn; they could have taken Merle too," Daryl thought, making everyone silently agree.

"Merle? What sort of name is that? I could have named my dog Merle," the young boy answered with a hysteric laugh. This caused Daryl to fly his foot at the boy, only to be blocked as Rick pushed him back.

Daryl walked over to his bag, grabbing Merle's hand that he collected earlier.

"Wanna see what happened to the last guy who pissed me off?" he asked while throwing his hand into the boy's lap, sending him backwards and freaking out.

Rick moved Daryl back again, moving him over to Theo.

"Pussy", Daryl spat, making her laugh.

"We will talk to them, trade something with them, just take us to them," Rick said, causing the boy to agree.

"Under one condition..." The boy looked at the three men before looking at Theo. 

"We keep the girl" He smirked, causing Rick to grab him by the shirt. 

"Dad!" Theo stood pushing him off. 

She stood in front of the kid.

"How old are you?" She asked, looking at him in the eyes. 

"19" He smirked. 

"And if you get you keep me...what's in it for me?" She smirked, making Rick and Daryl share a concerned look. 

"You'll get the luxury lifestyle; we take care of our women," he laughed as Theo nodded and walked closer to him. 

"Okay, how about you trade with my father, and I'll make sure that when I leave, you won't ever forget who I am?" she flirted, making the boy smile. 

"And does that mean I get to keep you?" He asked. 

The boy looked the girl up and down with a lustful smile. 

Theo placed her hands on the boy's shoulders before gripping them tightly, pulling him towards her, where she sent her knee to his dick. 

"Sure, because your dick won't work, asshole", She spoke down to the boy, who rolled in pain. "Now take us to Glenn, and I won't cut it off" She crouched down to his height, where he gripped his genitals tightly in pain, tears pouring from his eyes as he nodded. 

She turned back to her father, Daryl and T-Dog with a smile. 

"That's how you negotiate." She smiled before walking off to the side, the three of them looking at her in shock.

The boy took them to a well-hidden place; after arguing with Rick the whole way about Theo helping, she was made to wait outside.

"One wrong move, and I will put an arrow up your ass." Daryl threatened

"Put an arrow up my ass and G will pull it out and stick it up yours" The boy responded

"You want me to kick you in the dick again?" Theo threatened as the boy looked at her, scared. 

Daryl grunted with a slight smirk about how easily she scared the kid. 

Theo waited behind a wall as the men left to do manly things.

She couldn't hear exactly what was going on, so she made sure her gun was ready, just in case.

She looked up to see Glenn. As she began walking forward, he was getting pushed slowly off the edge. But she realised that if she was spotted, who knew what they would do, so she stopped herself.

"Shit!" She whispered to herself.

Moments later, the others returned with the boy still in their custody.

They headed to a small shop nearby, and now they had their weapons; they could either hand them over or fight.

By the look of it, Theo was sure her dad was going to hand the guns over, but apparently not.

"You guys should all get back to camp," Rick suggested, loading his gun to the others.

"No", Theo snapped at her dad, walking over and grabbing a gun from him, "No offence, dad, but you ain't that great at being into teamwork here", She said, looking over to see Daryl and T-Dog grabbing a gun too.

Rick smiled as the kid panicked.

"Girls and guns don't match, senorita" The boy smirked, trying to get under her skin on purpose. 

"Is that why you don't get given a gun?" she asked sarcastically, causing the rest of the room to laugh.

"Bitch"

"One more word and I placed a bullet in your head", Rick threatened, turning suddenly.

He soon went quiet, and off they went again.

Again, Theo stayed back, and T-Dog joined her this time.

Theo knew she wasn't great with a sniper rifle, but that's all she could do.

It was quiet for a while when chatter started up inside.

But then, once again.

Silence.

The wait was antagonising, like waiting for a bomb to go off.

Eventually, they all came out with Glenn.

Theo ran down from her position and ran to the boys, hugging Glenn as he hugged back.

"What the shit happened?" she asked, seeing he looked fine, untouched.

"There was an old people's place there; it didn't come to a showdown," Rick explained.

"Seriously?" She asked, shocked, wondering what the hell that place was.

"Yeah, let's get home," Rick said, grabbing her shoulder and leading them back to the truck.

"We gave them a couple of guns, not all. But they won't be a problem." Rick explained to everyone, slightly relieved that this small encounter wasn't leading to a fight, a fight that they probably would have, but with more blood on their hands than they would have wished 

They began to get close to the tracks, where they had parked the truck when they realised it was gone.

"Who would have taken it?" Theo asked, looking around like she was about to see it in the distance.

"Merle" Rick snarled.

"He would have taken it back to camp," Daryl told him confidently.

"Yeah, so how the hell do we?" Theo wondered, seeing no other cars nearby, making everyone go silent.

"Run," Her father said

"You're shitting me?" Theo asked, but her dad didn't respond, so that's what they did. 

They ran.
