Chapter eighty six
"I don't think these are walkers." 



Making it to hilltop, they headed up the road, Scarlett found it strange seeing a field and donkeys but nobody was out there, as Siddiq road behind her, DJ was driving the wagon with the others, as they headed up to the gate, they stopped in front of it, Diane who was the guard on the wall looked down at them "state your business." she said "we're here for our own. Two of your guards met us on the road and told us you have Rosita and that she's injured." Scarlett shared "and the others?" Diane asked "they're good people looking for a home. I told them hilltop would consider taking them in." Scarlett shared.
As Diane leaned against the wall, Scarlett held her axe up and threw it down and as she did, the others began doing the same with their weapons "your gun." Diane told her "I am not throwing it down. It's my husbands and I don't go anywhere without it." Scarlett shared, and as she did, the gate then opened, as they all got off and began walking inside, Tara was standing there "where's Jesus?" Scarlett asked her "out with a search party looking for Eugene." Tara shared "Eugene's missing? Since when?" Scarlett asked "I don't know. Thought you'd know. He went out with Rosita, but he wasn't with her when we found her." Tara shared.
"Damn it." Scarlett said, underneath her breath, Siddiq stepped toward's Enid and Alden "how is she?" she asked "she was unconscious when she got here, but she'll be fine. it's dehydration and heat exhaustion, mainly. She should be wake up soon." Enid shared "wait a minute. If she was unconscious how do you know Eugene was with her?" Scarlett asked "Aaron told us." Tara told her, as Scarlett huffed "great he's here too." she shared "no, he's with Jesus and Daryl. Daryl came down from his mountain with Carol and Henry. It's like the old gangs back together." Tara shared "do you know what direction they went?" Scarlett asked.
"You can pick up their trail but you'e not gonna catch them before nightfall." Alden shared "I'll be fine." Scarlett told him "it's Daryl. Probably on their way back already." Tara shared, as a group of people came by carrying their weapons "you can have your weapons back when you leave tomorrow." Tara told them, looking at the gun in Scarlett's holster, she then look to those behind her "as for the rest of you, you're gonna have to wait till Jesus gets back. And if you're gonna wanna stay stay I'm gonna have to talk to him. And you're gonna have to earn you're keep." she shared, as Connie stepped forward "she says, thank you. We all do." Kelly told her "okay." Tara said, as she turned walking off with Enid and Alden, DJ and the others began walking off.
Siddiq looked at Scarlett "it's good we're here." he told her "no it's not." Scarlett told him, walking off, Siddiq followed her "Scarlett.." he told her, as Scarlett turned to him "what else do I not know?" she asked him "I didn't know anything about Eugene and Rosita.." Siddiq shared "god! How am I supposed to believe you when while I've been trying to keep my family alive that you and Aaron have been working a backchannel.." Scarlett shared "hilltop is not a backchannel, Scarlett. We're talking about our friends here." Siddiq told her "these people aren't my friends!" Scarlett voiced.
And as she did, Carol walked up to them "hi, Carol." Siddiq told her "Saddiq." Carol said, hugging him, she looked to Scarlett and as she did, Scarlett looked down, as Kumiko, Magna and Connie walked up "who are your friends?" Carol asked "we're not friends. I'm Magna. This is Kumiko and Connie." Magna shared, as Carol signed to Connie, Connie signed back "I'm sorry that's all I know." Carol shared, chuckling "it's nice to meet you too." Kumiko shared "come on, let's figure out where they're putting us up." Saddiq shared, as he walked off with Magna, Kumiko and Connie "Scarlett? How are the kids?" Carol asked "they're fine." Scarlett told her, not looking at her "why are you here..not that..you shouldn't be I just.." she shared, wanting to not talk about her.
