Take some risks! 
"Lose the car?" tobin asks, walking up to the group as they walk through the gates, "Uh, it's somewhere safe." Rick says "You didn't find anything." "No. Listen, we need to get everyone ready. The–". Iris stops walking, she turns and watches the saviours driving towards them, she watches them stop inside Alexandria, "Rick. Hello. And...hello again." Simon says, walking up to the group with his saviours behind him, "We thought it'd be longer." Rick says. 
"Do you think we're here for a tribute? Do you?" Simon asks "Is there another reason?" Rick asks, "There is. We're here for Daryl." Simon says "Negan took Daryl." Iris snaps "Oh, but... then you showed up and your son showed up, Daryl went missing -- might those two things be connected?" Simon asks "They're not. We didn't know he was gone till right now." Rick says, "Then this should be easy. Now, everyone find a buddy. Gonna have to follow us around. If he's here, we really need you all to see him die." Simon says. 
Iris watches the saviours destroy Carol's house, she crosses her arms over chest holding back from killing them, she follows them as they make their way to the pantry, Rick looks to her silently checking on her "Wow. These are some bare shelving units. You guys have a barbecue or something and not invite us? Seriously, this is sad. Hope you're not trying to hide stuff from us, 'cause that generally doesn't go over very well." Simon says, looking around the garage. 
"We have a lot of people. It's...getting harder to find stuff, and our focus lately has been on finding things that Negan might want. We're still adjusting to the new system." Aaron explains "We were gonna scavenge more today. If you just wait, we'll...bring something back. We'll find more." Rick says 
"Relax. I'm not here for a pick-up. Good thing. But that day is coming, so you best do whatever you need to. Dig deep. Go the extra mile. Take some risks!" Simon rambles. "We will." Michonne says "Well, we will appreciate that." Simon says walking away. 
"Thank you for the cooperation, Rick. My apologies for leaving the place a bit of a mess, but we got a litany of other shit to attend to. So do you, I guess." Simon says as the saviours start driving away, "Oh! And, Rick... if Daryl does turn up here two days from now, two months from now... hell, two years from now, just know there's no statute of limitations on this. Keep that hatchet handy. You're gonna need it if he turns up with you people. And it won't turn out the way it did for your boy." Simon explains, tapping on the truck door and driving off. 
"What happened to the pantry?" Rick asks when the gate closes "We don't know. And we need to talk about Gabriel." Aaron says "Where is he?" Iris questions "He was on watch the night you all went to scavenge. I was supposed to take over for him in the morning. He wasn't at his post. Pantry was cleared out and a car was gone." Tobin explains. 
"No one's seen him since." Eric says, "That son of a bitch. He stole our shit and ran." Rosit says, "That's...what it looks like." Tobin says "Well, I don't want to believe it." "I don't believe it. That's not Gabriel. He wouldn't do that to us." Rick says, "I thought he changed, too, but it can't be anything else." Rosita says "Yes, it can." Rick says before walking away. 
Iris sighs, looking down at the floor, "you okay?" Aaron asks her, "i'm fine" she answers looking up at him, "you good?" she asks, the man nods yes, Iris gently pats him on the arm before walking away. "I can't believe he would just take our stuff and go. I mean, that's -- that's not who he is." Tara says as they look around Olivia's house. 
"Well, he saw Olivia and Spencer die right in front of him." Michonne says "I know. I just... He found his courage, you know? I want to believe he held on to it." Tara says, "Why wouldn't he have taken this with him? Why would he leave it on the floor?" Rick questions, Iris looks at the bible in the mans hand, 
"There weren't tracks out there before. We didn't find anything now. Maybe Daryl could've picked something up." Aaron says "He left. He didn't leave a note. He obviously doesn't want to be found." Rosita says, angry about the mans actions. "Yes, he does." Rick says, showing the book to Aaron "How would he know we were out there?" Aaron questions looking at the word 'boat' written in the book "I don't know." Rick says.
