"Sir,"
Negan turned around, still a satisfied smile on his lips. One that even grew somewhat with the realization that this was a meeting between BFFs, sarcastically spoken of course.
"I just spoke with one of the building crew. They're replacing the fence that was damaged by fallen trees last week." Negan nodded in a silent notice of that information and at the same time gave her a look asking anything else to keep me from my well-deserved fun?
And of course, there was something else. "And we should talk about the...situation with Santana," The smile vanished. Negan didn't like smart-alecky advises unless he hadn't asked for them; which hadn't happened very often yet.
Releasing Hazel out of his arm, Negan walked up towards Nora, yet again crossing someone's line of comfort zone.
"Nora...", he started with a tone sounding half annoyed and half amused, a kind of inconsistent mix yet Negan made it possible. "Don't you see I've other business to take care of right now? So, please don't keep me from getting a little break from the shit of the day... unless..." With a sudden grin on his features, Negan was taking also the last inches between them to speak right next to Nora's ear. "...you wanna join."

"Nora...Don't you see I've other business to take care of right now? So, please don't keep me from getting a little break from the shit of the day... unless......you wanna join."
Nora backed away from him just enough to give him a look that would kill, or at least severely maim, any mortal man. But Negan seemed to feed off it. "Hard pass, thanks," she replied. Not willing to show dissension in the ranks, she kept her place close to him and her voice low but insistent. "Are you some kind of masochist?" she inquired. quickly followed by a roll of her eyes and a shake of her head. "Nevermind, I already know the answer. But in case you forgot, a teenage girl pointed a gun at you in front of everyone this morning, and now you're taking her to the honeymoon suite?" she asked, an incredulous look thrown at Hazel. "You should not be thinking with your downstairs brain right now."

"Nora...Don't you see I've other business to take care of right now? So, please don't keep me from getting a little break from the shit of the day... unless......you wanna join."
"...But in case you forgot, a teenage girl pointed a gun at you in front of everyone this morning, and now you're taking her to the honeymoon suite?" "You should not be thinking with your downstairs brain right now."
Hazel had stood to the side while Negan exchanged words with Nora, and although Nora spoke in a lowly manner Hazel's gaze perked up from the floor as her presence was finally mentioned by the harsh blonde who seemed to have her panties in a bunch. Though, the woman seemed uptight to Hazel ever since their first encounter, one of which could have been Nora's last. Sure Adam paid the price for his own impulsive actions, but perhaps if Nora's demeanor hadn't have pushed him over the edge then maybe they could have all come to some sort of agreement. Perhaps he would still be alive. Thinking on this, Hazel's eyes narrowed into a rather intense glare in Nora's direction, noticing the faint scar that left it's healing mark along her neck in hopes that it gave her hell.

"Hard pass, thanks,"Negan couldn't help quietly chuckling at Nora's step back. What a pity though... "Are you some kind of masochist?""Nevermind, I already know the answer." Oh yes? She really thought so? As a matter of fact, sometimes there simply was no answer. Sometimes you just gotta fall out of what people called alignment, for no particular reason. Something Nora should take heed of as well at times. Negan was actually waiting for that to happen since they had first met. But then again, they had had their little moments... "But in case you forgot, a teenage girl pointed a gun at you in front of everyone this morning, and now you're taking her to the honeymoon suite?"Oh, he would have lied if he said that Nora's sudden bitchy look at his newest wife wasn't peculiarly turning him on. "You should not be thinking with your downstairs brain right now."Negan's joy seemed to vanish at once and instead got replaced with a somewhat hard expression. There were some moments following in which he led her to believe that this time she would have gone too far.
But then he once again overstepped her line of comfort, new amusement growing on his features as he whispered: "Why don't you think with your downstairs brain more often? Don't you tell me you got no needs..." Negan's face wasn't far from hers, his lips close enough so that she could feel his warm breath on her skin.
A grin spread around Negan's face before it was him this time who backed off again. "I'll take care of the kid later. So... if there isn't anything else..." He threw Nora a look of farewell.

"Why don't you think with your downstairs brain more often? Don't you tell me you got no needs..."
Again, she gave him a look of indifference. Certain that her needs were very high on his priority list. Meanwhile, there were mouths to feed and walkers to kill and walls to reinforce. Who had time for anything more than basic survival? Apart from him, of course. But she knew such sincere concern was just meant to get a rise out of her.
"I'll take care of the kid later. So... if there isn't anything else..."
"Nope," Nora replied, forcing a cheerless smile. "Just wanted to wish the blushing bride congratulations on her special day. You two crazy kids have fun." She clapped Negan on the arm, adding, "And keep her away from sharp objects." Having said her peace, she continued walking away.

"I'll take care of the kid later. So... if there isn't anything else..."
Hazel lingered in her angst towards Nora for a moment more before softening her complexion as Negan began to back off. The tension between Negan and Nora was undeniable, and for a slight moment Hazel wondered about their story. And then she remembered who they were and what they did. What she caused.
"Nope," "Just wanted to wish the blushing bride congratulations on her special day. You two crazy kids have fun."
At Nora's farewell to Negan, the knot in Hazel's stomach made it's infamous return as she knew what was finally to come. She had only wished Negan's distraction had carried on, even if it was just for a minute more before she would regretfully disappear into his den and taint her dignity.

"Nope,""Just wanted to wish the blushing bride congratulations on her special day. You two crazy kids have fun."
And there it was! That teasing sense of humor that he so loved about her. That, in fact, made him see her as the pick of his bunch. Not that Negan would ever let her know. Nah, it was just more efficient to hold her down just a little bit. Or sometimes just a little bit more, for mere entertainment.
"And keep her away from sharp objects."
At that Negan's eyes wandered down to the faint scar along her neck for a moment, saying nothing.
And when Nora moved along her own way, Negan suddenly turned around to his new wifey. "So. No more disruptions. I'm all yours now.", he stated with a smile that could have been called friendly, even lovely, if one wasn't aware of the circumstances. Then he drew closer to her, his legs a little bent to make up for their difference in height, to give her yet another sensitive kiss, not bothering if Nora was still around somewhere or not.

"So. No more disruptions. I'm all yours now.",
"In sickness and in health. I'm a lucky girl," Hazel quickly drowned the swirling whispers of shame and disgust by resuming a pleasing grin that only invited Negan in closer. As he leaned in closer to Hazel, her eyes couldn't help but to side glace over in Nora's direction who had her back turned against them, making her way down the hall and away from them. Their chemistry was an infamous mystery to Hazel, it had intrigued her ever since Negan cared for Nora on that dreaded night where both women almost lost their lives. Hazel was almost tickled to wonder if they were ever an item. But yet here they all were. And Hazel had an inkling that this Nora cared for the boss in some way. Though, Hazel was spiteful towards this woman not only for what happened to Adam but for all the verbal jabs and mental daggers after the fact. Closing her eyes, this spite fueled a vengeful spark of passion as her lips pressed deeply against Negan's, hoping that Nora had witnessed their lip lock and knew that no matter what she said or even thought about Hazel, that she was now the outsider while Hazel was the one enveloped in Negan's embrace.

Even though Nora didn't want to, she looked back down to the corridor to see if Negan and Hazel had continued upstairs, only to see them sharing a passionate kiss. She could swear he only did that kind of thing to hurt her, but that was a selfish, shallow thought. Thoughts that belonged to the world before. Like being upset that he hadn't asked her to prom or something equally ridiculous. All these women he'd curated and collected, carefully dressed and groomed and placed in their well-decorated dollhouse inside the Sanctuary. It was stupid and petty to be jealous of them. But every now and then, the feeling would creep in.
She knew Negan cared about her, despite all words and actions to the contrary. He showed it in the ways that mattered, and in the fleeting moments where their lives weren't on the line. Where it was about just two people connecting. Like in that record store in the middle of nowhere, northern Virginia. Moments that were few and far between, and almost always were crowded out by tears and screaming and fear. It was a mutual need, and maybe that was it.
She ran a hand through her hair with a sigh and turned back in the direction of the factory floor, hoping to find Dwight and a six-pack. Maybe they could both convince Fat Joey to deliver a lukewarm bottle of champagne to Negan's room.

"In sickness and in health. I'm a lucky girl,"
Negan let out a short chuckle of amusement while his lips were still very close to hers, his warm breath tickling her skin. So, she was playing along with this game of brides and weddings. Good for her. And good for his spirits to make this fucking disaster of a day a good one after all. Well, with a happy ending at least, Negan thought with one look too late into the direction Nora had just disappeared, by that time no more than an empty spot. A sudden grin formed dimples on his cheeks before he finally turned his full attention back to the young woman in his arms.
"Then let me lead the way to our honeymoon, dear wife.", he said as gently as a real husband would have said to his new-fledged real wife before placing one hand around her waist while the other casually swang to his side as if Lucille was naturally with him. But right now she actually wasn't for once. Instead, was she waiting in his room, accurately placed where he loved to see her whenever she wasn't right with him or being in use. Well, who could blame a man getting some nostalgic feelings when coming up with some totally different feelings at the very same time?

The currently situation had Javier on edge but the bed was a nice change. The hard floor hadn't been ideal but he adapted and now he was back with his daughter- but for how long? Santana's stunt gave him a bad feeling, what punishment would she be given? If it was fair, Javier would stand down but if the punishment was severe- Javier didn't know what he would do. "I need to stretch my legs, come with me." Javier smiled and held out his hand for her, he smiled when she took it. "You need to learn to hold your tongue and your temper. You can not let this man get to you, he's dangerous, unpredictable and he's now our boss. Do you understand?"
Santana Lopez - tempplay by Lady Lee-o -
Santana hadn't slept much, she was worried about what was coming. She made a mistake and she knew it would have consequences. Nora tried to warn her but Santana's anger got the better of her, now, a punishment was coming but she had no idea when. Her dad extended his hand and she took it, just glad to have him back. The thought of him in those cells, it made her blood boil. "Yes, I understand but he put-" Javier silenced her. "He is dangerous, Santana, unpredictable. Everyone here is loyal to him for one reason or another, you need to get there. He can protect you, he's made that very clear. He could have killed you the moment you came for him, do you get that?" "Yes, sir. I'm sorry." "I know you are but don't be sorry, be better. This is not the world we knew, this world is different and people like him- they won't hesitate to kill us."

Once everyone had been gathered down the public area, Negan made his appearance upstairs, as bossy and cocky as usual. The noise his boots made when they met the ground was silencing the crowd to his feet. Unconditional loyalty mixed with a little bit of fear or rather respect was what had made this community standing and what would it keep standing in the future, be it for another months or even years; maybe until either all the shit around would collapse and bury all of them underneath or even until they would have built it up to something that would be towering in the middle of just that shit to show the world that they were going to fuck it after the world had fucked them a lot of times before. Damn... this would make quite a good speech, Negan thought with an inner smirk. Yet his features hardened more and more with every step he did closer towards the handrail.
"Stand!", Negan suddenly spoke up as if talking to some dogs that had to obey, not immediately obvious if the undertone of amusement in his voice was because of joking or because he was enjoying his power just a little too much. Everyone who knew Negan long enough though would be aware it was the latter mixed with a little bit of the first.
"You may wonder why I called all of you over here in this early hour.", he then started while leaning over the rail to look everyone in their eyes - or maybe not everyone but the ones he loved to tease the most; which were Dwight, Nora and their newcomer Javier, to name but a few.
"Well, my lovely new wife down there" Negan paused for another teasing look at someone. Hazel. "She'll give some of us a grand tour to a place in Georgia. SO!" And with that he suddenly raised the bat in in his right hand to start slow movements in the attendants' direction as if playing a game. "I'm... taking a trip... and I am going to pack..." A playful grin spread over his face as he took great pleasure in turning the announcement who would be joining the save-Ingrid's-ass team into ridicule just before he had given any information what this trip would be about in the first place.

"You may wonder why I called all of you over here in this early hour. Well, my lovely new wife down there ... She'll give some of us a grand tour to a place in Georgia. SO! I'm... taking a trip... and I am going to pack..."
Usually Nora had some inkling of what these public meetings were about. Whether it was good news or bad news. But this time she was blindsided. Skeptical of any venture that involved traveling that far from their home territory, and even more skeptical of one that involved Negan's new wife. "Did he say anything about this to you?" she whispered to Dwight as he stood beside her in the crowd.
He shook his head in response. "Not a word."
She anxiously stuffed her hands into the back pockets of her jeans and continued to look up at their leader, wondering what could be so interesting about Georgia.

Many had whispered among each other, speculating what Negan had called them all here in the public gathering area. Speculations and rumors circulated throughout the room, yet the only person in the room who knew the truth behind the mysterious public announcement was the tiny, dark haired wife standing in the middle of the collection of wives who stood in a single filed lineup below the railing encased platform. With her hands folded in front of her lap, Hazel's gaze bowed to the floor silently as they all waited for the sound of clanking boots and ominous whistling that signaled the arrival of the boss with the message to share.
"Stand!"
The fools that had still been sitting upon Negan's entrance shot straight to their feet. Flinching out of surprise, Hazel's gaze snapped up to her husband up above at sound of his booming voice that rattled her straight to her bones, a commanding volume that she felt that she would never get used to.
"You may wonder why I called all of you over here in this early hour. Well, my lovely new wife down there ... She'll give some of us a grand tour to a place in Georgia. SO! I'm... taking a trip... and I am going to pack..."
Hazel felt some eyes fall onto her, yet she didn't pay attention to anyone else's gaze except for Negan's. Those who dared to disrespect Negan and allow their gaze to wander while he was trying to command the room would have a price to pay, and Hazel was too far in debt with Negan to owe him anything more other than her services to Georgia to find Ingrid.

"The two lovebirds there in the third row.", Negan suddenly spoke up again, stopping the moving of Lucille at the spot Nora and Dwight had just gotten into a huddle. "How could I do a trip without my favorite officer and... Dwighty Boy?", he added chuckling, leaving them no time to raise an objection (not that he would accept any objection anyway) as he continued his little game by moving Lucille once again. To force the pace of this a little, Negan was listing several names at once, mostly selected by the use they would be on a long journey like this. Simon, his right-hand man was, of course, none of them for he needed a loyal man like him to represent this place for the while of himself not being around. "Oh!", Negan turned to the audience once more, a devilish grin spreading over his face. "And Johnny-raw of course.", he was adding with a hint in Javier's direction. "We might be needing a doctor in our squad. Details will be given later. Dismiss!" Negan simply couldn't resist showing off his pleasure in being the boss in every one of these public meetings, like leaving no room for discussions unless he's asking someone to raise a word. Anyway, it might be wise to not let every Savior know the exact route and motive of this journey. He had dealt with enough mutineers to know it better.

Javier listened intently to Negan speak, seems like a little outing was in the near future? "And Johnny-raw of course. We might be needing a doctor in our squad. Details will be given later. Dismiss!" Okay, so they were going on a little outing. Javier wasn't sure if Santana would be included but if she was left behind- he would have no say in it.
"Papi," Javier took her hand and sighed. "Don't leave me again."
"That is up to Negan, come on let's go." Javier sighed and started to walk off with Santana.

"...Details will be given later. Dismiss!"
So they were going to Georgia. There was a whole lot of bad between here and Georgia. "Any idea what he's going after?" she asked Dwight.
"Nope, but I guess we best be packin' our bags," he replied. "I need to check on my bike, make sure it's gassed up. See you at the motor pool later?"
"Yeah," Nora said with a nod. But her eyes were still on Negan's retreating form. He better be damn sure his shiny new wife wasn't leading them into an ambush. She turned away and began to work her way through the crowd back to her room.

"How could I do a trip without my favorite officer and... Dwighty Boy?"
When the spotlight was moved off of her and onto two other saviors, Hazel slowly tore her gaze from Negan and to whom he was pointing everyone's attention to. Dwight and Nora. Hazel groaned internally as she rolled her glaring eyes. You've gotta be fucking kidding me...of course Negan just had to place officer stone cold in their party, for he put the woman on a pedestal. Even more so after she almost lost her life, resulting in the loss of Adam.
"Oh!", "And Johnny-raw of course.", "We might be needing a doctor in our squad."
Hazel's eyes caught sight of the man that Negan was referring to in the crowd, who appeared to be comforting a woman in emotional distress. Hazel recognized the girl as Santana, as Santana had visited the wives room with Negan a couple of weeks prior. Her heart went out to the poor girl then, and her heart clenched for her now. Hazel remembered how terrified she was when she first entered the Sanctuary, how horrified she was of Negan.
"Details will be given later. Dismiss!"
The crowd dispersed in multiple directions back to their posts, yet Hazel's gaze still held onto Santana and the man who Negan singled out who she now pieced together that was Santana's father as she overheard their exchange of words.
"Papi," "Don't leave me again." "That is up to Negan, come on let's go."
As the father and daughter walked past Hazel, she extended a gentle hand out to Santana's arm in comfort.
"Hey...," Was all that Hazel could muster as she exchanged a momentary glance with Santana, one that felt the pain and terror that the girl was most likely experiencing.
"Hazel," Snapping her head to the side, Hazel didn't realize that Sherry was standing right beside her. Looking around, Hazel hadn't noticed that the rest of the wives had cleared out and it was just her alone. Looking from Sherry and then back to Santana, Hazel bowed her head to the floor apologetically, lifting her hand from Santana.
"I'm sorry, I just-" Hazel began to apologize to Sherry before she immediately got cut off.
"If it were Negan who caught you abandoning your post instead, do you think he would put up with excuses?" Sherry looked sternly upon Hazel. Hazel felt embarrassed, yet knew that Sherry was saving her ass from getting into some serious shit, "Let's go, the other women are waiting."
*Hazel exits*

Santana Lopez - tempplay by Lady Lee-o - The hand on her arm had her freeze but she relaxed when she saw it was Hazel. "Hey...," She cracked a smile but it faded when the one called Sherry butted in. "Hazel,""I'm sorry, I just-""If it were Negan who caught you abandoning your post instead, do you think he would put up with excuses? Let's go, the other women are waiting." Santana didn't know every detail of Negan's wives but she knew that was a life she did not want. She watched Hazel leave and sighed, turning back to her dad.

Santana Lopez - tempplay by Lady Lee-o - Santana spent most of her time alone, waiting for her Papi's return. People left her alone mostly but they were watching her; she could see them all staring. After all, this girl did pull a gun on their leader. Those left in charge gave her tasks, simple things to earn her keep. After, she would just go back to her room and stare off into space. Without her Papi, she had no one to help silence the memories. The guilt of not being able to protect her or the others with them. The memory of a tall blonde with a dazzling smile ran across Santana's mind so vividly. She had been Santana's word, a constant friend, even if most days she hadn't deserved it. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ *-FLASHBACK- West Virginia - Day 20*"We have to watch the perimeter, Britt. Papi will kill us if we let our guard down." They had been attacked on the road by a small raiding party. They were able to escape by taking down a member or two, which only made the group angry. They swore they would pay and Javier believed they'd make good on that promise. "I have a surprise for you, close your eyes." "Britt." "Trust me." Brittany leaned in and pressed a kiss to Santana's lips, rendering her speechless and compliant- as always. "just for a second." "Okay." Santana closed her eyes, few seconds later Brittany's hands positioned Santana's palm up. "Britt." Something crinkled and Santana's eyebrow raised. "Open." When Santana looked down in her hand, she saw a few wrapped pieces of chocolate. Crunch bars, her favorite. "I found them a couple of days ago, in that house we stayed in." Moments like these made remembering worth wild, the small things that Brittany did for her. Finding her favorite chocolate, saving her the last sip of her water, a warm hug during a cold night. Sharing a piece of chocolate was enough to distract Santana from the approaching men. She didn't hear them until it was too late; they set off firecrackers. This alerted the walkers in the area and it didn't take long for them to be at the door. The group of men was already gone, the revenge would be carried out by the dead. The walkers broke down the door and pushed inside. They led them down into the basement and then started for the doors that led towards the outside. As they went up the steps, a walker rushed forward and grabbed onto Brittany, biting her. "Go, just go!" Brittany cried out and started the other way, leading them back to the other side of the room. Javier had barely grabbed hold of Santana and pulled her up and out the doors. “I can’t leave her, please Papi!” “Nothing we can do for her now, I’m sorry, we have to go!” ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Santana held the wrapped piece of candy in her hand, the crunch bar, and let the tears fall. "Please God, don't take him from me too."
