I laid there listening to Negan breathe as he slept. We were all in danger and time was running out. Hader didnât just let me go. I know him, I know he is a man that never gives up. I chuckled a bit at the similarities between the two of them. Both of them were bat shit crazy. I could play them both like a damn fiddle. But Hader, he scared me. He just let me go but when I saw that smile on his face as I pulled away, I knew deep down that he is coming for me. He is going to get his revenge on me in one way or another.Â
My first thought is Jax. I have to get him out of here. Hader will go after him first. It is the direct line to hurt me the most. It would cause the biggest blow. My stomach knotted up thinking about him even touching my son.Â
Negan grunted and it made me jump from the sound. He rolled over and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me to him and nuzzling his face in my hair. He moaned and went back to sleep with a slight snore. I rubbed my hand on his back and he moaned again with a slight upward turn of his lips. He took a breath and whispered softly âI love you baby. I will never let anything happen to youâ He took a deep breath again and fell back asleep. I felt a tear roll down the side of my face. For the first time in a long time I was terrified. If Hader gets to Negan, he will torture him and kill him. Just to hurt me. I took a deep breath and realized I had to come up with a plan. First, I needed to get Jax out of here. I am going to send Jax to stay at Hilltop with Maggie and Glen. I knew exactly who I was going to trust with this too. Dwight.
Negan got up early and kissed me as he left. As soon as he walked out the door I sprung out of bed and ran to get dressed. I pulled my hair up and walked out the door. I needed to catch Dwight before he started making rounds. I walked quickly up the stairs to his room and knocked rapidly when I got there. Sherry opened the door and scowled at me. âWhat are you doing here?â
âI need to talk to Dwight, alone.â She stood int he doorway to block my entrance but I rolled my eyes and pushed past her. âI am not leaving. Whatever you want to say to him, you can say in front of me.â
âSherry, I donât have time for this, get out!â She scoffed and looked back at Dwight, who was laying in bed but starting to get up.Â
She crossed her arms and spoke directly to him. âShe is the reason Negan beat the shit out of you. She cannot barge in here and demand that I leave. Tell her Dwight.âÂ
He looked at me and looked down. âSherry, please give us a minute alone.â
Her mouth dropped and she turned to stomp out. She looked at me with such disgust. Normally I would have said something else but I didnât have time to worry about Sherry and her feelings. She walked out and slammed the door making Dwight jump a little. He shook his head âWell, I am never going to hear the end of this.â He stood up and I got a full look at him, He was bruised all over. I felt angry at Negan for beating him that way. Dwight followed my orders and paid a large price for it. Now I was there about to ask him to smuggle my son out of here. Â
âI am so sorry Dwight, I never meant for that to happen, but please know that if I didnât do it, they would have killed us all. They would have killed every one of us. I tried to get back as fast as I could. I really did. But I am so sorry.â
He just looked at me with those sad little eyes of his. âWho are these people?â
âIt doesnât really matter who they are, all you need to know is that they are dangerous. We are all in danger. They let me go but I am pretty sure they are coming for me. They will torture and kill everyone who tries to hide me. I have to figure some things out but I need you to do something for me. I hate even asking you but please realize that it is only because I trust you. I trust you with my life. You are my friend, I trust you completely.âÂ
He looked at me bewildered. âWhat? What is it?â
âI need you to smuggle Jax out of here. I need you to take him to Hilltop and leave him with Maggie and Glen. They will keep him safe. Tell them I need them to keep him there for a while until I come up with an idea to deal with Hader. I know them and I know they will do everything they can to keep him safe. If for some reason you run in to someone on the road, donât tell anyone who he is. Donât tell them that he is my child. Do you understand? Will you do this for me? I need it to happen today. And I canât tell Negan yet. Jax already needs to be gone and then I will tell Negan.â
Dwight looked at me bewildered. He shook his head and paced around the room. âYou have got to be kidding me? Negan is going to go nuts. You saw the beating I took last night, what the hell do you think he will do to me?â
I walked up and put my hand on his chest and looked in to his eyes. âDwight, If Hader gets a hold of my child, he will rip my world to shreds. I only trust you Dwight. It has to be you.â
He pulled away from my touch. âWhy? Why does it have to be me? Everyone here follows your orders, everyone here would give their life to protect you or your son. Why me?â
âBecause despite everything I have put you through, you love me. I know you love me. I know you love Jax. You would die before anyone hurt him, or me. I hate that I am even asking you, I hate what I do to you. I really do, but I trust you. You are my best friend Dwight. I trust you with my life.â
A slight smile appeared on Dwights face. Just a faint glint but the frown returned. â I do love you. Loving you has been my biggest curse. I love Sherry, she is my wife and I love her. But you, I would do anything for you. So it looks like I will be smuggling your kid out of here.âÂ
I sighed and rushed up to hug him. He winced from the pain of the bruises. I kissed his cheek. âThank you Dwight, I really donât know what I would do without you.â
He laughed âWell, it would probably be some other sucker in this position.â
I stepped back. âDonât worry, I will make sure Negan pays for what he did to you.â
His smile grew bigger. âLike what, with hold sex from him? You know that never works.â
I rolled my eyes. âOkay, I was thinking right after lunch today. I will pack a bag for Jax and put it in his room on his bed. After Jax eats, I will ask you to take him back to Maria for a nap. Just take him and go. Take the walkie talkie and leave it with them so we can talk to Jax. Tell him he is going on a vacation and we will see him soon.â
âYou are not going to tell him?â
âYeah right, tell a five year old that he is going away without his parents and dropping him off somewhere he has never been to. I donât think so. He would tell Negan. And Negan would never let him go.â I turned to walk out. âYou know, it wouldnât be a bad idea to take Maria. She can stay there with him so he knows someone.âÂ
Dwight nodded. âOkay, I will take care of it.â
I walked out of the room expecting Sherry to be standing there but she was gone. I headed back down the stairs to Jaxâs room. I walked in but he was already gone. Probably at breakfast with Maria. I packed a bag for him and left it on his bed. I dropped a couple of toys in there and realized as I packed his stuff that something may happen to me or to Negan. I wanted Jax to have something of ours just in case. I walked back to my room and grabbed my bracelet. I grabbed one of Neganâs scarves and went back in to throw it in the bag. After I laid his backpack on his bed I looked around. I realized I didnât have time to be upset and I needed to keep my emotions in check. Negan could read me like a book sometimes and I needed him to not be suspicious about anything.Â
I walked down to the breakfast area and found Negan standing at the front of the room talking to some of the men. He looked pissed but I blew it off. I walked over and sat next to Jax as he ate his cereal. His eyes lit up and he smiled and giggled as he hugged me. âMommy, guess what I can do?â I pushed his hair off his face and held him.Â
âWhat can you do baby?âÂ
âI can spell my name. Maria showed me. I can spell daddy and mommy too.â
I smiled âThatâs amazing baby. I am so proud of you.â
âYes, Maria taught me to spell my name. I am a pretty good speller now.â He sat back down and shoved another spoonful of cereal in his mouth. I just looked at him and took a deep breath. I looked over and noticed Negan walking towards me. I stood up to greet him and he walked directly past me to talk to Jax. He hugged him and talked with him for a minute before kissing the top of his head and finally turning back to me.Â
âCan I talk to you for a second, dear wife?â He pointed his finger and I turned to walk. He grabbed a hold of my arm forcefully and ushered me out of the cafeteria. I yanked away from his grasp and he grabbed me harder, almost pushing me back to our room. I didnât say anything. He opened our door and almost threw me in.Â
âWhat the fuck is your problem Negan, donât you ever treat me like that again. What the hell?â
He stood there with Lucille over his shoulder. He turned to slam the door.
âYou want to tell me why the fuck you were in Dwightâs room alone this morning?â
