From the moment Merle had his grimy claws around her neck, Ingrid knew that this was not going to end in her favor. With the big bad wolf attempting to make amends with his brother whom was more of a man than he'd ever be, and offering his place of stay to them, Ingrid knew that Rick would be stupid to refuse this deal. All he had ever wanted was what was best for his family and his people, and Ingrid respected that. Which is why she remained collectively silent as they rounded everyone up and informed them of what was going to happen. Ingrid knew that the place they were all headed was Woodbury with no doubt, and as the group followed Merle down the path she wanted to make her break for the hills. She knew what was coming for her, and it wasn't anything better than what she had experienced at Woodbury the first time. But Rick and Daryl's eyes were onto her now, especially with how Merle reacted to her presence among the group. Ingrid knew she had to tell Rick everything, she just didn't know how.

*** Negan, Nora, Dwight, Javier, Hazel, and Enid enter from WA - WDC - Open Road ***
More than two weeks had passed since Negan, Nora, Dwight, Javier, Hazel, and Enid got back on the road to continue the trip. While their journey had started rather rocky and especially snowy, the rest of it had become a long but smooth ride. Almost too smoothly, making everyone feel the same, even though nobody was speaking it out loud. The calm before the storm. Negan was awaiting quite a storm. He still was hopeful that Ingrid was alive, but he also had a feeling that she was in trouble. When they were only a few more miles away from their target place, the mentioned wall around it already rising in the distance, Negan suddenly stopped the car. As much as he wanted to just barge in and get Ingrid out of there, of course not without taking actions of revenge on their kidnappers first, he knew that this time his way of acting impulsively could cost him everything. It had so often in the past, and almost in the present. Usually, Negan wasn't someone who made an effort in behavioral changes, but the latest events had made him wonder if he really wanted to be the man he was if being that man meant to lose the only few persons left he actually cared for - emotionally. Negan pulled the parking brake - although more to make clear that they would stay for a while longer than just for a pee break - before he turned his gaze away from the windshield for the first time after a long ride of doing nothing but holding the wheel. On the passenger seat right next to him sat Hazel as this had been her place when they had set out. Not only for reasons of confronting her with their strained relationship ever since she had decided to just watch Nora die had Negan not allowed to let her take a seat in the rear bench but also for reasons of not wanting her to be close to Nora. He wouldn't like to admit that, but Nora had been right about her. Negan surely never would have staked his life on Hazel's loyalty yet had started to trust the girl too early. Maybe because she was the only key he had to get Ingrid back. Now it was on time to use that key for its original purpose. "Guess it's your turn now," Negan suddenly said with a stern look to his side. "How do we get in?"

Nora's eyes scanned the unfamiliar scenery along the Georgia highway as she absent-mindedly chewed on her thumbnail. What should have been a straightforward trip had been complicated by weather, walker herds, washed-out bridges, and roads blocked by fallen trees or other abandoned vehicles. She'd never been this far from the Sanctuary, and it felt unsafe. But they also hadn't been this close to finding Ingrid again. So much time had passed, how could they even know she was in there behind those walls?
"Guess it's your turn now. How do we get in?"
As Negan finally spoke, her gaze shifted from him to his passenger, the less-than-trustworthy girl who unfortunately held the keys to open the locked door. Their best bet, in Nora's mind, depended on whether Hazel had left Woodbury in good (or at least ambiguous enough) terms to sweet-talk her way back into its leader's good graces. Tell him she had been so wrong to leave, could he ever forgive her, and oh can these other people come in and stay -- they've been ever so helpful.
Dwight, sitting beside Nora, had his own questions regarding their strategy. "And what do you think they've changed since you left?" he asked. "More security? More guns?"

"Guess it's your turn now. How do we get in?"
Hazel had been in quite the daze before Negan's harsh tone snapped her out of her thoughts. How long had she been dissociated from the interior of this damn car with these people - all who had judged her greatly since she screwed trust along with everything else she had going for her was beyond her. She was pretty sure that after this operation was over, Negan would find no more use for her and discard her for the sake of winning back Nora. A possible, similar fate to Adam's loomed mercilessly in her brain as she saw his head getting bashed into the dimly lit gravel over and over again. She knew that if she wanted to survive this, then she would have to get innovative. But first, she wanted to win back everyone's trust, even if it was just a piece. Starting by helping them get Ingrid back.
"And what do you think they've changed since you left?" "More security? More guns?"
"No," Hazel shuffled slightly in her seat as her expression panned through the car to address everyone, "One thing Philip wanted to accomplish was to keep a sense of normalcy within the community, as if it was untouched by the rest of the world. He's got the townsfolks eyes completely veiled from what really goes on, from who he truly is," Hazel spouted with slight anger before brushing past her emotions as quickly as she could, "Woodbury is enclosed by a wall, armed with men and women day and night. The only thing that got me passed those guards unnoticed was the stir that me and your sister in law caused. They unarmed the wall to try to come after us. If we can create a distraction large enough to disarm the wall again, we have a good chance of slipping inside." Hazel suggested.

Enid sat in between Javier and Nora as she listened intently to the conversation that was beginning to unfold. She was anxious to find her sister, but she was also afraid of finding out a reality that she did not want to come to terms with yet. Though, she knew Ingrid was a fighter and had an inkling of hope within her that her sister was still alive. And if anyone was going to get her back, it was this group of people. Some of the most peculiar people Enid had ever come across. But they loved Ingrid, and Enid felt she was in the best company she could have hoped for.

"And what do you think they've changed since you left?""More security? More guns?"Usually, Negan didn't appreciate anyone adding their own questions before he got an answer to his, but this whole situation had become an exceptional state anyway. And so he didn't comment on that this time but instead held his gaze upon Hazel, watching her as she was about to answer the questions she'd been asked. "No,"
It was only when she spoke up that Negan realized they hadn't heard her voice for weeks. Still, he had no feelings of sympathy for her. Not anymore. Or not right now, at least. There still was a chance for her though, to regain his trust. But that remained to be seen.
"One thing Philip wanted to accomplish was to keep a sense of normalcy within the community, as if it was untouched by the rest of the world. He's got the townsfolks eyes completely veiled from what really goes on, from who he truly is," The fact that she was speaking of Woodbury's governor as Philip was telling Negan that she might have had a significant role there, at least enough to be on a first-name basis with this man. That could mean she might be able to play him false, although Negan was not so sure if it would be still false by this point. Even if he had her loyalty, which he wasn't so sure about anymore, she surely was miffed about the way all of them were treating her lately - namely, ignoring her. Well, until now, that was, wasn't it? This was her great moment of proving if she was trustworthy or not. If she was Negan or not. Negan tried to focus back on what Hazel had to reveal instead of the potential mindset she might have, keeping in mind that not everything she was saying had to be the truth. The sudden change in her features told him though, that it was. There was this hatred in Hazel's voice, almost as much as it had been back at the time when he beat the fucking daylights out of her boyfriend. Oh yes, he had been at full blast with him, Negan remembered with almost nostalgic feelings. He was no monster, but, granted, he enjoyed killing assholes who deserved it. He would do it again and again and again. Just as he would make the dead asshole's girlfriend becoming part of his wife club again and again and again. After all, that had led them right here where they were now. On a mission to get Ingrid back. "Woodbury is enclosed by a wall, armed with men and women day and night. The only thing that got me passed those guards unnoticed was the stir that me and your sister in law caused."
A twitch of one vein on his forehead was the only yet distinct reaction to that.
"They unarmed the wall to try to come after us. If we can create a distraction large enough to disarm the wall again, we have a good chance of slipping inside." "Dwight, Nora, and I will take on the distraction job," Negan suddenly said, and with a determination that left no room for objections. If this was a trap, or Ingrid not being inside anymore, he didn't want Hazel to be the one being in charge of a wall that would be either end up disarmed, like she said, or actually not because they had been tricked. He couldn't risk all their lives based on no more than her word. Among the team of those going in first, she could do less harm. And who knew? - Maybe she even was good for an exchange in case all chips were coming down. He rather not wanted to contemplate that, but ever since he had seen the girl lifting no finger to rescue Nora's life, Negan didn't really see her being part of them anymore. And his people always came first. Especially when it came to either Ingrid or Nora, which was why he made the latter part of his team, irrespective of her combat skills. "Everyone else will be waiting for our sign before slipping inside and keeping a low profile as long as we won't have closed up to you."

"Dwight, Nora, and I will take on the distraction job. Everyone else will be waiting for our sign before slipping inside and keeping a low profile as long as we won't have closed up to you."
So it was not gonna' be the subtle, understated approach but the loud and noisy one, Nora realized. Fine with her. She shoved open the car door and climbed out, taking a cursory glance around the landscape as Dwight exited the vehicle on the other side. "If anything goes wrong, you keep moving," she instructed Javier and Enid. "Stay close to each other and don't let yourselves get surrounded, by walkers or people. We won't be far behind you."
Nora then walked around to the back of the truck, where Dwight was already sorting out bags and equipment. "What are you thinkin'?" he asked.
"A little shock and awe oughtta' do the trick," she replied. "If the people inside are as naive as she says there are. Whatever we can do to create a commotion, draw away their defenses." She retrieved one of the spare gas cans and an old quilt.
"Spread 'em thin by making them fight a fire and the dead," Dwight surmised.
"Exactly. Let's go start some shit," Nora declared, slamming the tailgate shut. She and Dwight began walking through the trees, closer to what they assumed would be Woodbury's main gate, knowing Negan wouldn't be far behind.

"Dwight, Nora, and I will take on the distraction job," "Everyone else will be waiting for our sign before slipping inside and keeping a low profile as long as we won't have closed up to you."
Hazel nodded in game mode, she was raging to help get Ingrid back. Even more so, a part of her wanted to avenge the part of herself that died in this place long ago. Philip's haunting gaze played over and over again in the back of her mind every now and again like a flashback no one wanted. If she avenged her old self, perhaps she could finally reinstate some sort of peace within. The main objective was operation save Ingrid.
"And what can I do to help?" Hazel looked to Negan for direction before he would hop out of the vehicle after the others.

Negan kept his seat next to Hazel for another while after Nora, Dwight and Enid had left the car. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw them chatting outside - probably about how headlong this all looked - whilst getting prepared and equipped. This was not a headlong decision at all. Negan had been thinking and brooding over a way to save Ingrid, protect his people and get himself the revenge he longed for. It was especially the last point on the agenda that kept him sitting here with Hazel while everyone else was getting ready for action.
"And what can I do to help?", she suddenly asked as if reading his mind.
Negan stayed quiet for another minute before finally launching into an answer. "Actually," he replied with a stern expression on the face, turning his whole upper body in Hazel's direction. Negan was speaking quietly, although, by now, nobody else was with them in the car. "There is something." She seemed to wait for him to go on, and so he did. "Remember you told me about that piece of shit who had harmed Ingrid?" A little pause was following his words, yet too short for her to react already now. And then his stern expression changed into something of profound hatred and disgust as he added a more specific question. "What I mean is... do you remember his goddamn face?"

As they continued to walk with the leaves crunching underfoot, Nora glanced back to see that Negan was still in the car with Hazel. Geez, this was hardly the time for teary departures. She shook her head and started walking faster. Once the main gate was in sight, they held back and moved more deliberately among the trees and abandoned houses. Nora used hand signals to direct Dwight to a two-story house that would give them a good view.
They snuck in the back door, as silently as possible, weapons drawn for whatever might await them. The place seemed quiet and empty. They set about methodically clearing the house, Dwight taking the upstairs while Nora continued among the rooms of the ground floor. Satisfied that there was no unwanted company, they met back in the kitchen and tossed their bags on the table. Nora began tearing off fabric strips from the quilt and laying them out. Dwight managed to find a milk crate full of empty glass bottles. "Lucky for us, they were into recycling," he remarked as he sat it down with a collective clank.
Nora nodded wordlessly as she continued to work. "What's it look like upstairs?"
"Pretty much what Hazel said," he replied. "Three armed men positioned on top of the fence, packin' some heavy firepower."
"Well, so are we." She began removing the glass bottles from the crate and spacing them out on the kitchen counter, unsure of how many they would need. Then she went back to ripping the fabric into strips.
Dwight removed a funnel from one of the bags, placed it in the neck of the first bottle, picked up the gasoline can and began pouring the clear liquid into the bottle with a steady hand. The smell of the fuel soon filled the room. Once it was halfway full, he moved onto the next one in line. Then Nora was behind him, threading the fabric strip into the bottle and letting it soak up the gasoline.
"Feels like the old days, doesn't it?" Dwight remarked, as their assembly line of molotov cocktails progressed.
"What does?"
"This. Bringin' the fight to somebody else's door, makin' 'em wish they never heard the name Negan."
"We're here for Ingrid," Nora insisted.
"Yeah, I got that. But you been stuck at the Sanctuary for weeks, warmin' the bench like some pansy-ass --"
"I nearly died, Dwight!"
"Since when has that ever stopped you?" Dwight countered. "I'm just sayin', it's good to have you back on the front line. If I gotta' watch anyone's six, I'd rather it be yours. Just don't tell Sherry."
She stifled a laugh as she continued to work. "Don't worry, I won't."
They judged that eight of the fuel-laden bottles should be enough. Easier to transport but enough to make an impact. If they needed a bigger fire, they could always use the gas left in tanks of the abandoned cars on the road. They packed up and left the house, still careful to stay out of view of the guards atop Woodbury's walls. Nora unholstered her gun and took position behind a tree, ready to provide covering fire to Dwight, and they both anxiously waited for Negan to join them.

"Actually," "There is something."
Hazel's eyelashes fluttered slightly as if to process his words. She had merely asked out of respect as Negan was still her husband and boss. Loyalties were sworn, after all, even if she didn't appear to be the most devoted of the bunch. She grew elated by the fact that he would even consider to enlist her for any kind of help, especially after witnessing her behavior and loosing his trust as well as any shred of respect he had for her. Sitting quietly, suspense grew from within the pit of her stomach as Hazel waited in anticipation for Negan's answer.
"Remember you told me about that piece of shit who had harmed Ingrid?" "What I mean is... do you remember his goddamn face?"
Merle, Hazel thought to herself as her mind could immediately recall his gruesome smile and the evil that flickered in his eyes. The thought of him was enough to make her hurl. Merle had caused so much pain and grief under the service of the Governor. The only thing that ever protected her from being harmed by him herself was Philip's care that he offered her until her unexpected departure, "It's not an easy face to forget. What does he have to do with finding Ingrid?" Hazel asked through the icky shudder that sent a shrill down her spine.

"You do," Negan guessed in a whispered tone already before she could have answered herself. That hadn't really been a question anyway, but rather an introduction to the job Negan had for her. He wouldn't swear to it but had a feeling that the piece of shit this was about had not only harmed Ingrid. At least, he saw enough disgust in Hazel's face to get that idea. Negan might be an asshole, same as he was aware that he didn't treat everyone well, but there was one thing that was unforgivable in his eyes. And if it were not for Ingrid, then it would still be for Hazel, or any other woman, at that. No man shall emerge unscathed for any kind of violence towards a woman.
"It's not an easy face to forget. What does he have to do with finding Ingrid?"
"He has to do with correction," Negan replied, his features still rigid and full of disgust. Then he looked Hazel directly into her eyes. "I want him to survive..." There was only a short pause following his words before making sure there wouldn't remain any open questions or misunderstanding with his next. "... to meet Lucille."

"He has to do with correction," "I want him to survive..." "... to meet Lucille."
Hazel felt a gasp draw inward through her nostrils as Negan's minor speech full of vengeance sparked a new purpose within her. She knew that he would want her to stay put, just like the rest of them probably wished. And yes, Hazel knew of the damage she had caused within the group due to her latest stunt. Yet, if she can win back any morsel of Negan's trust in any way, he was giving her a gateway. It was somewhat narrow and could be slightly difficult for her to navigate. But it was a gateway. And she would dedicate her life to making sure that his wishes would be carried out.
"No one knows the inside of these walls better than me, let alone where his sleeping dogs lie. I think I can handle this request," Hazel nodded in Negan's direction. Before Negan could remove himself from the vehicle, something within Hazel pushed her forward. Out of impulse, she grabbed the top of Negan's arm ever so lightly, "Negan," Hazel paused for a moment, aware that time was of the essence, before looking upon him with pure sincerity for the very first time, "I won't let you down this time. I promise."

"No one knows the inside of these walls better than me, let alone where his sleeping dogs lie. I think I can handle this request,"
That was what he had wanted to hear and also what he had expected to hear. Negan could read in Hazel's face that she was feeling miserable, maybe even sorry, for her latest act. So, this would be her chance to make good for that. People were making mistakes, but only a few were allowing themself to admit they had and have regrets about those. Hazel was one of them.
Just when Negan was going to leave the vehicle to catch up with the others, Hazel suddenly held him back.
"Negan,"
He turned, his facial features remaining unreadable while hers seemed to be of that regret he'd been awarding her with just before.
"I won't let you down this time. I promise."
Suddenly there appeared a smile on Negan's face. "I know," he replied much more compassionately before leaning forward to give her a soft kiss on the lips. Not with devotion or even passion but instead with gratitude from himself. He would still keep an eye on her, but he also knew that he could count on her now.
Then, with no more words, Negan let up on her to leave the vehicle. They got work to do.
Giving Javier and Enid, who had been waiting outside the car a nod in passing, Negan walked up towards the path leading to Woodbury's main gate, bordered by a high wall. Once in sight, he moved among the trees and abandoned houses, hoping to find Nora and Dwight, who had had a head start. Eventually, he saw Dwight giving him a silent hand signal from their position behind one of the trees close to the gate, yet not too close to risk being discovered.
With careful steps, Negan joined them at their chosen post. "So what's the what?" he quietly asked once standing right beside them. He was quite sure that they had been using the time of his delay to get an overview of the situation.

"So what's the what?"
"Just in time for the opening act," Nora remarked as Negan joined them. She gave a nod to Dwight, who took off around the back of the house. "There are two abandoned cars in the driveway. Chances are one of them has enough gas in the tank to go boom. Once that goes up, we light these," she said, indicating the glass bottles in the bag, "and toss them at the main gate. They have to come out to fight the fire, meanwhile the walkers start wandering this way like we rung the dinner bell."
Nora then trained her eyes on the guards atop the gate, making sure none of them took notice of Dwight's movements. "After that, we'll have to find the back door. Sure hope Hazel wasn't lying to you," she declared, sparing him a sideways glance. If the girl wanted to redeem herself, she had a long way to go. But if this mission did bring back Ingrid, well, that would go a long way.
The crunching of leaves meant Dwight was returning. "Both are set to go," he informed them, then began taking his half of the molotov cocktails and finding a position where he could hit the main gate. Nora nodded and went back to watching the gate. Now all they could do was wait. One-Mississippi, Two-Mississippi, Three --
There was a deafening blast from the cars' location, and she could feel a wave of heat wash over them. "Boom goes the dynamite," she smirked, before lighting the fabric strip hanging from a bottle and then lobbing it across the road. It fell just short of the gate itself but ignited a big enough inferno. Dwight started firing from his position, so she lit the next one and threw it.

It was never a surprise to Hazel whenever she felt Negan's lips on hers. Negan always did what Negan wanted, and her job had always been to give him what he needed from her in support. Though, this kiss was something different that Hazel hadn't experienced with Negan before. A genuine sense of gratitude filled her being, and for once she felt compelled to lean into the kiss to seal the promise she made to him. Dead or alive, Ingrid would surely be avenged by the end of today. Hazel vowed to make sure of it.
Hazel waited when Negan was out of sight before jumping out of the vehicle and in front of Javier and Enid. A fire ignited within her as she tried to work quickly with no time to loose.
"Javier, you still got that gun of yours?" Hazel asked rapidly, as they only had a small window to work with before everything went to hell.
"Yeah, of course I do. What did you have in mind?" Javier asked, noticing the crazy look in Hazel's eyes that only overcame her in rare circumstances. It was surely a look Negan had seen quite a few times at this point.
Hazel nodded intently as her gaze panned from Javier to Enid, "We don't have much time. There's a promise I made to Negan, and like hell am I gonna let any more of my people down - out here," Hazel pointed her gaze to the Woodbury walls in the near distance, "Or in there. And I can't do it alone." Hazel could only hope that her desperate plea would sway them to help her. Otherwise, she'd be going in alone and who knows who she might encounter on the way in.

"We don't have much time. There's a promise I made to Negan, and like hell am I gonna let any more of my people down - out here," "Or in there. And I can't do it alone."
Keeping securely close to Javier, Enid nodded as she listened closely to everything Hazel had to say. Enid was still very confused about this girl. One moment she shed compassion, the next she was leaving someone to die. She didn't know how to trust this strange girl that she had only known for a while. What Enid could tell was that her words were sincere. At the end of this day, it appeared that all Hazel wanted as to do the right thing and make up for the trust she broke.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Enid asked Hazel, then turned to Javier, "My sister's in there somewhere. She's still alive. I don't know how I know I...I just do. I think we might all have something to lose if we don't." Enid spoke the truth, as much as Javier might not like it. But from his stories, Enid knew he had a daughter back at the Sanctuary. The faster they found Ingrid, the sooner he could see his daughter again. Enid felt as if she didn't have to tell him that though, he already knew.
The ground shook suddenly as they heard nearby explosions going off and guards running off the walls to go inspect. Perfect timing. That was their cue. With a grunt and eyeroll, Javier didn't know what they were about to get themselves into but he gave the final seal of approval before the three of them stealthily moved towards Woodbury and behind the unarmed walls.

Negan was confirming their whole plan with no more than a slight nod. He knew that he could count on Nora and Dwight's outstanding minds for strategic planning. Unlike himself, they also possessed the ability to keep a cool head no matter what. If Negan had a weak point, that might be it, especially when things got personal, like involving people he seriously cared for. And this was very personal. However, the plan sounded bright and solid, so he had no objections nor additions to make.
Of course, Nora's little remark about Hazel hadn't slipped his attention, but he had decided to leave it uncommented, same as she seemed to have decided to not give him that accusatory sideglance that certainly had been about to rise. Their little fight over decisions and things they would have stopped talking about, back at that cabin, surely wasn't forgotten, but it was just not important right now. Hazel wouldn't let them down this time. Negan had seen it on her face. And he'd had a lot of looks into people's faces to see the difference.
"Both are set to go," Dwight informed as he came back to join them at their post.
And yet again, Negan confirmed with just a nod before blending in the plan. While Dwight was taking position close to the main gate, Nora and Negan started to head back to theirs behind the trees. All they could do now, though, was waiting for the first round of dynamite to go boom.
There was a little moment that Negan's head turned to the side to watch Nora, who was looking highly concentrated on the mission. Somehow, Negan wanted to do something to make this waiting part less awkward, maybe making a joke, something along the lines of this feeling like in the sweet old days, but then, suddenly, he realized something. This was actually nothing like the sweet old days. Not really.
Negan kept his mouth shut and turned his head back forward.
And yet, in this very moment, with both of them being here to save their friend's ass, it felt like just that. Maybe for the first time in a long while. Nora had been right about them, and he was seeing that now. Something basically had changed. And something had changed again after their conversation over at the cabin. Not only between them, but also, or maybe essentially, with him. He wanted it to be like in the old days, between them. Once again, he had to remember her words about leaving them once they would be back. If only he could --
Finally, the explosion coming from the car's location send Negan's mind straight back onto the mission. Keeping a cool head was now more important than ever before, he reminded himself. No time for waxing sentimental.
"Boom goes the dynamite,"
He replied her smirk with one of his own before joining her in serving Dwight with the next round of dynamite until, eventually, they heard the growling of a nearing walker herd accompanying the noises of their firework and the stressed-out guards at the wall, maybe their best chance. "And here we declare the buffet open."

"And here we declare the buffet open."
"Well, let's hope they brought their appetites," Nora retorted. Their plan seemed to be working so far -- the urgent combination of the walkers and the raging fires set the perimeter defenses into a panic. All their attention was focused on the main gate, which meant there should be no obstacles on their way in. Once all their makeshift bombs had been thrown, Dwight rejoined Negan and Nora, and they made their way back toward the vehicle to find whatever entrance Hazel had left open for them.
