Negan was paying no attention to Dwight and Ingrid's little chat as they climbed up the stairs to that mentioned fifth floor. While he appeared to be focused on handling the doctor, all he could think of was Nora. Yet besides that familiar anger and hatred toward those who were responsible for a situation like this - one of them right here in his grip -, usually predominant, Negan felt a tension inside of him that he had never felt before - or at least not in a long time. The fear of losing someone who he deeply cared for, with a lot of things still unspoken, a few of them even unspoken to his mind. Shit, he couldn't even remember what their last words to each other had been before she got wheeled away into this very building. Probably the usual venoms, although both of them aware of the fact that, deep down, they cared for each other, maybe even in the same way, whichever way that might be.
As soon as they had reached the fifth-floor door, all of them were silent. So silent that Negan could swear to hear his own heartbeat. But he wouldn't allow his stress to get the better of him, not at this point. They still knew shit about what was going on behind that door, but they were about to find out soon enough.
"So, who's gonna be the lucky one to find out what's behind door number three?""My hopes for the shiny new car are riding pretty damn low."
Negan knew what she was doing there and wouldn't blame her, of course, but joking was the last thing he wanted to do right now. And that coming from him really had to mean something. "Go ahead," he said in a harsh tone as he grabbed Dr. Shaw by his lab coat to pull him closer to the door in front of them. The man was wise to not object, yet surely as strung up like everyone else. Negan waited for him to do as told anyway and open the door to unleash the horror show behind. And a horror show it was, for there were not only one or two of them, patients who the doctor had called the Resurrected, but instead ten or more. They seemed to be focused on one door that was still closed but soon had their attention drawn towards them, finally nearing them with the familiar growling sound.
Without a word, Negan shoved the doctor aside, after all, to make way for himself, Dwight and Ingrid first instead. He knew that his two companions behind wouldn't allow that man to beat a hasty retreat. But it wouldn't be helpful to serve the dead with a meal, along the lines of 'the appetite comes with eating'. Taking some swings with Lucille, for the first time not even getting a spark of fun out of it, Negan fought his way forward, leaving the rest for Dwight and Ingrid, knowing they could handle those on their own. In his focus, there was just this one closed door, silently hoping he would find not more of the dead but instead the living behind. And not only any living, but Nora. However, Negan was no fool. If it were the dead he would find, then he won't walk in unprepared.
Using Lucille as a shield, ready to use her once again if needed, Negan opened the door with one hard kick of his boot. He had only done one step inside when suddenly something big and sharp was straight coming at him, leaving him no time to think but only to raise his bat in defense.

Nora had been keeping her eye on the door, judging its progress with a sinking feeling in her stomach. If the cavalry never came, at least she would go down swinging and not make it easy for the walkers. "Get behind the bed," she directed Ecksley as she switched her position to the opposite wall. "Our best chance is to create a bottleneck. Kill the first few and hope they slow down the others."
She nodded to confirm her plan, since it was the only available plan, and tightened her grip on the axe handle. Seconds went by, then minutes. She inhaled slowly, willing her heartbeat to calm. Suddenly the door swung open with great force. She reacted by swinging the axe overhead and when it met with resistance, she froze in shock. Then she realized she'd just firmly planted the blade in a baseball bat. Covered with barbed wire and wielded by the man she worried she would never see again.
"Negan?!" she exhaled in shock. Nora retracted the axe and let it fall to the floor as she flung her arms around his neck, holding tighter than probably she'd held onto anything ever. She clasped the hair on the back of his head and clenched the thick fabric of the fireman's coat that he'd newly acquired just to be sure that it was true. "You're here, you're really here," she exulted through tears of relief.

There was a moment of intense silence, probably only for a heartbeat, though, in which both weapons interwined, the sharp axe that had been coming for him and the barbed wire baseball bat, saving both armor-bearers from a tragedy none of them would want.
"Negan?!"
It felt like, for the first time after days, Negan's heart was sinking back into its initial place in his chest. Nora was alive, and she was here. And she... flung her arms around his neck. That was new.
"You're here, you're really here,"
It was only a second after she had been letting the axe fall onto the floor that the noise of another weapon filled the echo of metal meeting with the ground. Suddenly Negan moved again, wrapping both his, now free, hands around Nora's backhead to pull her closer towards him once more. "You're alive," Negan whispered as he held her tight for another moment, feeling his heart going faster once again, something she even might be able to notice whilst her face was resting close. He knew that time always was right behind them, but in this very moment, Negan didn't fucking care. He hadn't even noticed Nora's unusual outfit, nor was he bothering the fact that she just had mutilated Lucille, not until later at least. That all didn't matter right now.
However, when Negan's eyes suddenly met with someone lurking behind the sickbed, that moment of not caring about anything but them would be gone, after all. "Who are you?" he asked with regained harshness, yet still holding Nora, only very slowly letting up on her, even primarily to pick his weapon back up, though.

There was no time to hesitate. No time to think, or be scared. The adrenaline pumping wildly through their veins reminded Ingrid of that as she put all of her trust into Negan and immediately followed right behind his lead. He had pushed himself to the front and began to swing his bat away at the walkers that intruded on their path. Blood and guts began to decorate the floor and their clothes as it splattered everywhere. Surely, some time had passed since they have had to fight walkers. Yet, Ingrid felt as if she never forgot how to, as if they had been still slaughtering them like it was yesterday. Her gaze narrowing on the live targets that Negan had left for her and Dwight to clear, Ingrid let arrow after arrow slip swiftly through her fingertips and into the rotting scalps of the 'resurrected.' A slight smile flexed momentarily in the corner of her lips. With her bow back in action, Ingrid felt like herself again for the first time in months. Negan had traveled up further, leaving Ingrid and Dwight to make sure the reanimated bodies were no longer alive. Ingrid bent over one of the dead to pull one of her arrows out of it's skull. The sound of the broken, rotting flesh filled her ears as she pulled the bloodied spear free. At that moment, Ingrid's head suddenly snapped upwards as she heard a commotion of voices and weapons clanking to the floor. "Nora," Ingrid's eyes widened in her breathless whisper, and a glimmer of hope finally allowed itself to jolt from within. Running as fast as her feet could take her to the doorway where Negan stood in, the world stopped spinning and nothing else mattered. Not until Ingrid could see for herself...
...And she did. A tidal wave of every emotion humanly possible hit Ingrid's chest as she took in the beautiful sight of the two people she loved most in the entire world together again. In awe at this universe given miracle, Ingrid was left absolutely speechless. Her mouth formed the biggest smile, one that hadn't been seen since Lucille's diagnosis. The floodgates opened as tears began to pour down Ingrid's cheeks as she finally found it within to bring herself into the picture. Nora was still latched onto Negan, but Ingrid didn't care. In fact, Ingrid wrapped her arms around both Nora and Negan as she sobbed with relief. Nora was home.
"Who are you?"
The sound of Negan's surprised voice made Ingrid's gaze turn upwards and then over to the spot where Negan was staring. Behind one of the sickbeds was someone who had been hiding amidst their little reunion. As Negan began to pick his weapon back up, Ingrid followed his lead as she effortlessly took her bow back into her hand and drew an arrow, stepping defensively in front of Nora and in the lurker's direction.
"This guy give you any trouble, Nora?" Ingrid threw her question over her shoulder to Nora, all while still keeping her sight perfectly set on the man.

Nora knew this little moment of calm shared between her and Negan wouldn't last long, so she should enjoy it while lasted. But suddenly, there was another set of arms tightly embracing the two of them. "Oof -- hey, Ingrid!" she greeted, maybe with a little less passion but still a great deal of affection and appreciation. They'd both faced the danger and defeated it just to be with her. She couldn't ask for anything more in this world, or what was left of it.
"Who are you?"
"This guy give you any trouble, Nora?"
"Oh, yeah, this is Dr. Ecksley," Nora replied. "He tried to kill me. Twice." She untangled herself from Negan's embrace, somewhat reluctantly, and bent down to retrieve her axe. "And it was his bright idea to fill this place with walkers. Him and the Colonel. Even Dr. Shaw knew about all this. Why the hell did I ever trust him?"
Dwight had continued on clean-up duty in the hallway until the rest of them were no longer moving, and then he approached the doorway. "Hey, don't I get a hug?"
Nora was prepared to honor his request, until she observed how drenched he was in guts and gore. "Uh, maybe later, but thank you for coming."
"Not a problem. But we still need to find Tina," he insisted.
Dr. Shaw finally spoke up from the shadows that he'd clung to by the stairs. "I...I think I can help with that."
"Why are you here?" Nora hissed. "Why is he here?" she then demanded of Negan.

For the little while their embracement had been lasting, Negan hadn't even realized another pair of arms joining in at some point. And if joking, for once, hadn't been the last he could have thought of at that moment, he probably would have come up with one along the lines of not having expected to ever find himself back in a sandwich kind of situation. Or maybe he would have said so if there wasn't still this figure in the background, drawing his attention away from this sweet reunion.
"This guy give you any trouble, Nora?"
"Oh, yeah, this is Dr. Ecksley,""He tried to kill me. Twice."
At that, Negan's head turned back to Nora for a moment, after all, yet only long enough to not give the man behind the sickbed a feeling of getting spared from more of his glares, now even more brutally. So, when Nora went on explaining her statement, his eyes wouldn't leave from the sight of that man.
"And it was his bright idea to fill this place with walkers. Him and the Colonel. Even Dr. Shaw knew about all this. Why the hell did I ever trust him?"
Negan could only hope that Dwight was making sure the doctor was still in their clutches, since now he, all the more, didn't want to miss the chance of a one-on-one with that asshole; once they would be out of here, that was. And, of course, after dealing with this other asshole first.
"Hey, don't I get a hug?"
"Uh, maybe later, but thank you for coming."
"Not a problem. But we still need to find Tina,"
Negan's features remained unchanged for the whole while of this sudden chat around him.
"I...I think I can help with that."
A quiet yet intense hissing sound left Negan's throat. There was no need to turn his head around to know who had been joining them, daring to offer help.
"Why are you here?""Why is he here?"
"Because I said so," Negan replied rather harshly, triggered by the way Nora demanded an answer of him, but then gave her a slight glance as if to apologizing in silence, after all. Then, instead of giving in to the doctor's words right away, he stepped closer towards the other man first, who was still cowering behind the bed, and stretched Lucille out in his direction while, at the same time, addressing the doctor with words. "I'm listening. You've got two fucking sentences to convince me to believe you and not to kill you and this piece of shit here right now. So shoot." He wasn't even keen on getting a story from the guy right in front of him. At this point, Negan had just enough of this place anyway. He wanted to leave, with his people, with Nora. For good.

"I'm listening. You've got two fucking sentences to convince me to believe you and not to kill you and this piece of shit here right now. So shoot."
Ingrid paid no attention to anything else except for the straight line that stretched from the point of her arrow to the Doctor that Negan was threatening. He had this, and she knew that. Hell, Negan could probably take on both men and entire hospital at this rate. If Negan decided to do something about these men who almost cost Nora her life, Ingrid wouldn't stop him. These men brought death upon themselves, whether they enticed it on others or on themselves. Negan gave these men a moment of grace which Ingrid thought was honorable, yet they still had to find Tina. Though through her urgency to do away with these evil men and press onward, she continued to keep her bow raised to cover Negan in case anyone tried anything funny.

"I'm listening. You've got two fucking sentences to convince me to believe you and not to kill you and this piece of shit here right now. So shoot."
"Why don't you ask your girlfriend here?" Ecksley taunted. "She's the one that chose not to let me die out there."
Nora cautioned him with a glare. Maybe she had made the wrong choice in that moment, but it was too hard to let go of that pesky oath to preserve and protect life. Though the doctor certainly wasn't helping his case by riling up Negan and Ingrid, who were already angry and armed. She inserted herself between them to grab Ecksley roughly by the arm and shove him out into the hallway, trusting Dwight to keep an eye on him.
"Look, I know you won't get it," she tried to explain to the two of them. "But I'm still a cop, and he's a suspect. One who's guilty as hell, but still a suspect. We can't abandon justice. He and the Colonel need to be held accountable for what they did. The people here – our friends, our neighbors – they need to know what's been done."
She didn't stick around to argue but proceeded into the hallway, meeting the sheepish gaze of Dr. Shaw. "Thanks for doing the right thing," she remarked, "eventually. Help Dwight find his sister-in-law, then meet us at the loading dock. Think you can manage that?" He nodded silently, then ushered Dwight back to the stairwell.
“Well, I'm ready to get the hell outta' here," Nora declared. "But first, I have a going-away present for the Colonel. Anybody know how to drive a tractor-trailer?”

"Why don't you ask your girlfriend here?""She's the one that chose not to let me die out there."
Negan was just going to react to that - and surely not in the most friendly way - when suddenly Nora interfered by grabbing the doctor and shoving him out into the hallway right into Dwight's arms. Killjoy. Well, maybe it was better this way, for they still had to focus on finding Tina.
"Look, I know you won't get it,""But I'm still a cop, and he's a suspect. One who's guilty as hell, but still a suspect. We can't abandon justice. He and the Colonel need to be held accountable for what they did. The people here – our friends, our neighbors – they need to know what's been done."
Negan turned around back at Nora while she was explaining her stance. And, surprisingly, he actually got it, which didn't mean that he liked it. Before he could have said anything, though, she headed for the door to join the assholes in the hallway.
"Cops, huh? A bunch apart," Negan mumbled in Ingrid's direction, for the first time ever since they had entered the hospital, a slight grin of amusement back on his features. Everything would fall into place now where the trio was reunited. Well, Dwight and Tina as well, but there was no team like him, Ingrid, and Nora to lead the way.
“Well, I'm ready to get the hell outta' here," Nora eventually declared when Negan and Ingrid were meeting them in the hallway as well. "But first, I have a going-away present for the Colonel. Anybody know how to drive a tractor-trailer?”
This proclamation was intriguing, so Negan replied that with the grin on his features widening. "Not yet, but I got fucking god-given talent." Then he turned towards Dwight, giving him an almost amicable pat on the shoulder. He was now part of their team, and so would be Tina and Sherry. "We're gonna build a better place." Leaving the man no time to react to his words, Negan started to walk past them, although allowing Nora to let them in on the next step on their agenda. Before they could start working on that vision of his, they had to leave this place, with the whole team. And a going-away present, of course.

Ingrid stepped back immediately as soon as Nora got in between them all to grab the man by the arm and throw him against the wall. She never ceased to amaze Ingrid, even in a state where she had been not only weakened by her illness but also threatened with her life by the horrific unexpected series of events that had unfolded rather quickly.
"Cops, huh? A bunch apart,"
Ingrid returned Negan's amused grin with one of her own, giving him her attention long enough to see him start to relax for the first time since entering this hospital before looking back over into the hallway at Nora who still had the man pinned. Watching her slip into instinct at the snap of a finger, Ingrid realized that she never really had felt compelled to ask Nora for her story. The whole story. She's sure she had heard hers and Negan's on repeat, but after going through what they did in this Fort, Ingrid decided that she would try to get to know Nora better. Even if getting close to someone in this new world could risk broken hearts and lives.
“Well, I'm ready to get the hell outta' here," "But first, I have a going-away present for the Colonel. Anybody know how to drive a tractor-trailer?”
"Not yet, but I got fucking god-given talent." "We're gonna build a better place."
Standing by Nora's side, Ingrid watched wordlessly as Negan strolled past them on his own. She studied his silhouette in the dimly lit hallway, broken lights flickering over bodies of the undead as they lined the hall in a bloody mess. "There he goes, the Savoir of the apocalypse," Ingrid joked with a half hearted chuckle. Though, deep down she knew that part of her wasn't joking. Negan carried a new brand of confidence, knowing he protected and rescued his family. His people. Filled with pride, Ingrid stood by her words from earlier. She would follow him wherever he goes, starting with this very moment as she started to walk out after him. Out of the monstrosity that was Fort Belvoir was born a leader, one that would change their world as they now knew it to be.

"Not yet, but I got fucking god-given talent. We're gonna build a better place."
"There he goes, the Savior of the apocalypse."
“Jesus, don't let him hear you," Nora groaned. "His head’s already too big to fit through the door.” Not that his confidence wasn't well-placed. For Nora had believed herself utterly lost in this hospital, never to see her family, her friends, or the outside world ever again. It would take a force of nature to rescue her, and Negan had proven to be exactly that. If she stuck with him, if she and Ingrid could temper the highs and lows of this mercurial man, he just might lead them through this wasteland to something better.
As the group made their way down the stairs and to the loading dock, Nora explained about the tractor trailers full of walkers -- former citizens of the fort who had been cast aside by the doctors at the Colonel's orders. Out of sight, out of mind. And Nora was planning to park one of them right at the Colonel's front door. The truck had been sitting idle for who knew how long, so it took a considerable amount of persuading to even get her into gear. But luckily for them, Negan was the persuasive type and the vehicle was soon underway, despite some very noisy protests from its engine. Not to mention the chorus of snarls and growls that was increasing inside the trailer.
Nora was in near tears at being united with her own truck, but blamed it on the exhaustion of the day. Ingrid rode shotgun with her, and Dr. Ecksley sat in the middle seat between them, being smart enough to keep his mouth shut. Dwight, having found Tina, took off in the Suburban to round up Sherry and whatever they could pack before meeting at the Colonel's house. Navigating through the hysterical and confused crowd that still encircled the hospital wasn't easy, but they soon had a clear path. Most people got out of the way of an 18-wheeler that showed no sign of slowing.
The truck finally came to a stop with its air brakes hissing outside the picturesque, well-manicured lawn of the man that had greeted them all those months ago. Nora was saddened and humbled that what looked like a bright new beginning had come to such a horrible end, but at least it would be ending on their terms now. She slid out of the driver side and roughly pulled the doctor out to join her. Ingrid posted herself in the truck bed, bow at the ready and pointed at the Colonel's front door. Negan had disembarked from the trailer, the fireman's coat having been traded for his usual black leather jacket, and walked back to meet her.
"Let's go say hi, shall we?" Nora asked Negan, still holding Dr. Ecksley firmly by the arm. "I'll follow your lead."

"Let's go say hi, shall we?""I'll follow your lead."
Negan was reacting with no more than an approving nod to that before heading up the stairs that led to the front door, somewhere behind of it lingering their friend of the recent months, unaware that they had a present prepared for him before they would leave this place for good. As soon as he was standing right in front of it, Negan reached one hand out, looking like he was going to give the door a soft knock. Pausing in the middle of that act, he suddenly turned his head back around to Nora, a grin spreading on his face as if to silently say just kidding. Then, finally, Negan addressed himself back to the door, giving it a hard kick instead.
He was not too surprised to find the very man they had been meaning to pay a visit standing in front of a window, watching the scared-up crowd outside from a safe distance and in the protection of these walls around him; Or so he thought at least. With a slight shock on his face, the man turned around to his uninvited guests.
"We're taking all your shit," Negan started unceremoniously, not being in the mood for any more games. He was so done with this man and this whole place, so he made this short and crisp. "And you're not gonna stop us."

"We're taking all your shit. And you're not gonna stop us."
"Feel free to add that door to our tab," Nora remarked, following Negan and dragging Ecksley along inside. "You've also got a helluva mess to clean up at the hospital. Right, Doc?" She released her grip on the man's arm while shoving him in the direction of the Colonel.
"What's the meaning of this?" the Colonel demanded.
"Just came from a stay at that hospital which was very eye-opening," Nora answered. "Yeah, we know all about your ward full of walkers, your experiments, treating your own people like lab rats. You recognize that truck parked out front, don't you?" She nodded toward the road outside. "Chock full of the mistakes you didn't wanna' see? You're gonna' give every one of them a proper burial and let the families see to their dead."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Fine," Nora sighed, picking up the walkie on her hip and bringing it up to her mouth. "Ingrid, open up a few of the Colonel's windows so he can see better." If the man doubted she was being serious, he wouldn't for long.

Crouched in the bed of the truck, Ingrid had her bow loaded with an arrow pointed right at the Colonel's door. Watching Nora, Negan and the doctor bust through the front entrance, Ingrid remained on the defense in case her family ran into any confrontational trouble. Things went rather silent for a moment upon their entry into the house, some murmurs of muffled voices coming from within signaled that they had found the corrupt asshole himself. Then suddenly, the walkie sitting beside Ingrid beeped and Nora's static filled voice came through.
"Ingrid, open up a few of the Colonel's windows so he can see better."
"Gladly," Ingrid affirmed out loud, the corner of her mouth curving into a satisfied side grin as she lined up her first shot with the window she had heard the voices come through. Ingrid made sure that she would shoot high enough as to not risk anyone's life. Yet she would be lying if she said she wasn't thrilled to make a piercing statement. Allowing one arrow after another to slip through her fingers, the glass of the windows shattered upon impact, sending the final arrow zooming right over the Colonel's head and into the wall behind him. "Bullseye," Ingrid chuckled to herself. She lowered her bow and hung an elbow out the truck window, "Hey Colonel! Ya wanna take a wild guess as to what's in that trailer?!" Ingrid smirked as she bore witness to the shock that washed over the Colonel's face.

For once, Negan left the field completely to his companions while he just watched the show from the background, a filthy grin on his face. There had never been a voting as for who was in charge of their trio, but Negan had always seen himself as their leader, or at least the one they would rely on. So he was seeing this now as his gift to Nora. After all the shit these people had made her go through while she stayed in that hospital of fucking Silent Hill, he found that she deserved her revenge, just the way she wanted, at that.

"Hey Colonel! Ya wanna take a wild guess as to what's in that trailer?!"
Though Nora flinched at the sudden noise of bursting window panes, she trusted in Ingrid’s accuracy and knew that neither she nor Negan were in any real danger. “You know exactly what’s in that trailer,” she remarked. “The proof of your mistakes and your arrogance.”
“I was simply trying to protect people.”
“From what, Colonel? The truth? Keeping people in the dark won’t keep them safe.”
“The people are safe within these walls. Isn’t that what you wanted so badly when you first came here?” he countered. “Isn’t that what I gave you, all of you?”
“You didn’t exactly tell us what it would cost.”
“Safety comes at a cost. You knew that when you took the badge.”
Nora gave him a mirthless laugh. “Yeah, well, that badge doesn’t really mean anything anymore, does it? Just like those medals on your chest and chevrons on your sleeve. I used to look up to men like you. I thought you’d actually done something to earn them. But it turns out you’re just a liar and a coward.”
“And what were you before the world ended, Deputy Carico?" the Colonel scoffed. "Some cow-town cop with an inflated sense of her own importance, who now spends her days handing out cafeteria trays. You couldn’t save dear old Dad and you won’t be able to keep yourself alive out there, much less your friends. It’s not too late to apologize, undo the damage you’ve done. You need this place. ”
Nora turned away from him dismissively. “We’re leaving.”
“You won’t get far.”
“I’ll get farther than you,” she declared, as she retrieved a gun from the holster on Negan’s belt. She glanced up at him, the anger and resentment clear in her eyes so that he wouldn't dare question her, before she aimed and fired a shot into the Colonel’s leg. It might have been a waste of ammo but it felt damn good. Not really caring whether he bled out or not, she placed the gun back in the holster and retreated through the doorway outside.
"Ingrid, gonna' need your cover," Nora instructed. She unlocked the roll-top door of the trailer with some effort and prepared to unleash the growling walkers clattering on the other side of the metal.

"Ingrid, gonna' need your cover,"
In sync with the moment Ingrid heard Nora's instructions, she felt a slight rattle in the truck as she heard the humming of the trailer door begin to slowly lift upwards. At that moment, Ingrid understood her assignment and kept her eyes on Nora and Negan as they began to make their retreat. "I gotcha, fam," Ingrid affirmed as she sent her arrows flying, clearing a path for the heroic duo as the emerged from the house and killing anything that tried to scratch them on the backs. Ingrid had heard the gun shot and saw the Colonel sink to the ground. Though, she knew that Nora didn't let him off so easily by killing him instantly. With the roaming walkers now circling the yard and infiltrating the inside of the house, she heard yelling emulate from within, knowing that the Colonel was about to pay for the evil he had caused.

When Nora helped herself with the gun in his holster, Negan was already fascinated; Not only because of her hand so close to his belt but especially because of the badass figure she made. One might call him queer, but when she fired that shot and turned towards Ingrid with that instruction, it was even turning him on. Not that Negan would have come up with feelings like that only just, though.
Negan had still this fascinated, same as slightly turned on look upon his face when they began to move. This all scenario was simply right up his street and watching it from the passenger seat's position this time wasn't less. At least not with Nora next to him.
Almost like in one of these action movies, Negan and Nora stepped outside, leaving the bad guy behind, and through the dividing herd of growling walkers. Either they actually walked with long steps, or it was just the adrenaline pumping through Negan's veins that made him experience this as they did. All the following felt like sequences as well; Their climb back into the truck, the muffled screaming from inside the house, the sound of Ingrid's arrows getting fired next to them, and, lastly, their retreat - no, their victory over this place.
