WA - Washington DC - Cabin In The Woods
A cabin somewhere in the woods slightly away from the open road. Enid eventually found it to settle there for a while.

*** Negan, Nora, Hazel, Javier and Dwight enter from WA - Open Road ***
All they could do at this point was keep pushing forward, training their sights on the smoke still rising into the sky. The world seemed hushed by the blanket of snow except for the crunching of their foot falls. Eventually they could see a log cabin through the trees, its chimney the source of the smoke. No doubt they all coveted the roaring fire that must be inside. Without knowing who or how many were inside, Nora and Dwight fell into their practiced mode of clearing a building. He would take the back door, Nora would cover the front. As he unshouldered his shotgun and made his way around the house, Nora walked slowly up to the front door, her gun held at low ready. The windows on either side were boarded up and afforded no good view of the interior space. She winced as the deck's floor boards creaked under her boots. Walkers weren't the enemy now, it was the living -- and they were far more unpredictable. Nora positioned herself to one side of the door, her gun in one hand and the other stretched out to the doorknob. She looked at Negan for his go-ahead before actually turning it.

Negan couldn't help but smirk at the sudden image of Nora falling back into full officer mode. One might call it an odd fetish, maybe it was, but it just kind of was turning him on everytime he witnessed her doing that. He was, of course, sensible enough of their situation - certainly not as for the interpersonal part but for the element of surprise - to not let it show verbally. He didn't spare with looks though.
When Nora positioned herself to one side of the front door, looking up at him for approval, Negan first turned his head back towards Hazel and Javier to give them a silent sign to stay back. Then, instead of giving his go-ahead, he passed Nora - not without one of his challenging grins of course - and reached out to the doorknob himself. It was one thing to use random people that meant nothing to him emotionally as a human shield, but another thing to watch Nora walk into a potentially dangerous situation while he was waiting behind - especially after what had happened only weeks ago. Oh, Negan knew that she would start an argue with him about that sometime later, but that prospect actually was driving him on even more.
Once Negan had tore the door open, he shouldered Lucille and walked inside like a real macho, his lips whisteling the sweet melody of a Savior approaching.

The cold didn't bother Javier at all, sure he was cold but warmth would soon come. Either way they would be staying in that cabin, he knew that. Negan wouldn't allow anything else, he just hoped whoever was inside would fall in line.
Javier stayed back but close enough in case he needed to help.

Hazel followed closely behind the group as they reached their solitude. Hopeful that they could rest in this place or at least wait out the rest of the snowstorm, Hazel longed to get out of the cold and into some shelter. As Negan and Nora approached the door with arms at the ready, Hazel nodded understandably as Negan gave the silent order for her and Javier to stay back. They had no clue what or who was in this place. It looked abandoned, but they couldn't tell for sure. There was only one way to find out.

*** Meanwhile, inside the Cabin ***
Enid had taken note of rustling noises that were heard amidst the silence that had fallen over the cabin interior. She had ignored it of course, simply assuming that it was just the wind from the storm pushing the snow around the outside of the house. That was, until a loud bang was heard coming from the front of the house. Withdrawing her hands from the crackling fireplace, she drew in a frightened gasp as the startle of the front door being kicked in made her jump to her feet. Wide eyes of terror, her breath quickened as she panicked. She darted into the kitchen, leaving behind the warm blanket that had rolled off of her shoulders. Grabbing a sharp, large knife from the block that sat on the island in the middle of the kitchen, Enid ducked down behind the island as she hid from the intruders. Huddled on the kitchen floor with her knees in her chest, Enid's back pressed hard against the side of the kitchen island as she remained frozen in terror. Knife grasped in one hand, her other hand suddenly clasped over her mouth as she heard the slow steps of boots clanking on the ground and a whistle that one could describe as something you'd hear in a horror movie scene where the victim is about to die. Enid hoped this wasn't the case for her, as she was ready to put up a fight. JSS.

Once Negan had made his subtle entrance, she followed him through the doorway. Most of the light was coming from the fireplace, and it took a while for her eyes to adjust after all the blinding whiteness outside. Inching further into the room, she noticed a crumpled up blanket on the floor in front of the fire. No other signs of an occupant like empty plates, glasses, or cans. No other sound beside the popping and crackling of the burning wood. Whoever had been sitting there had moved quickly. But there was little space in that room and not many places to hide.
There looked to be a bedroom to one side and a kitchen to the other. Dwight would soon be entering from the back door and making his way to meet them in the middle, assuming he hadn't met up with anyone in the backyard.

Once inside, Negan continued what not exactly could be called team play, and just walked past Nora who seemed wanting to wait for Dwight to enter from the back door before going on exploring the place. Negan would make her decision easier and just take one of the two directions first - that being the kitchen as it happened.
He continued the whistling, making no secret of their forced entry. The person who lived here couldn't have gone very far anyway since there were only two exits, both of them leading to the arms of his people. So, why would he want to play hide and seek on the hiding side?
Negan took one long breathing out, as he leaned his elbows on the kitchen island, watching Lucille in silence. He could have sworn he heard someone breathing, but would he wait at least for Nora and Dwight to catch up on him, after the realization of having found nothing for their parts.

Javier moved inside behind and stood just inside the doorway, stepping aside and taking a look around. He noticed the details, the fireplace, the blanket, someone was here, and Negan would find them. He moved in closer to the fire to warm himself and kept a close eye on the room.

Hazel entered closely behind Javier as Negan, Nora and Dwight scouted the house for any other living - or unliving occupants that may have been inhabiting the cabin first before they were able to decompress and make themselves comfortable until the storm would pass. Hazel came to a halt at the entrance of the den as Javier proceeded to warm himself up by the fireplace. "Who started that fire?" Hazel inquired with hesitation as a strange feeling overcame her. She slowly walked behind Javier to the middle of the den, bending over slowly to pick up the knitted blanket off the ground. It was warm, as if someone had just been using it before they barged in.
"Javier," Still crouched to the ground with the blanket in her hands, Hazel shed a concerned gaze in Javier's direction as her tone grew heavy with panic, "I don't think we're alone...,"

Enid heard them enter. How many of them were there? She couldn't tell, but there were quite a few of them. The man with the brutish sounding voice and the loud, clanking boots had entered her vicinity. Every vein in Enid's body pulsed as she began to sweat with panic. She could hear the man lean against the very kitchen counter she hid behind, she could feel his every moment and hear his obnoxious breath. In this moment, her adrenaline was through the roof and it was either fight or flight. And like a typical Snow, Enid was not one to run away from a fight.
"STAY BACK!" Enid finally couldn't take the anxiety of hiding anymore and lunged out from hiding. Pushing her back up against the cupboards across from the man, she held the large knife straight out in front of her in defense, "Don't come any closer...I will hurt you." The fear dripped from her uncontrollably, but she wasn't about to back down as she furiously stared the strange man down in the kitchen.

"STAY BACK! Don't come any closer...I will hurt you."
Nora came running at the sudden sound of a voice in the kitchen, and trained her gun on its source. Dwight, who had entered from the back door, did the same. Then she saw that it was a girl, not more than 14 or 15, defiantly but shakily holding out a knife. "Hey, hey, no one needs to get hurt," she declared in an effort to de-escalate the situation. "Let's all just take a breath. We're gonna' put away our guns, you're gonna' put the knife down, okay?" Nora slowly but deliberately moved to re-holster her gun and gestured for Dwight to do the same.
"We're just lookin' to talk, kid," Dwight said in a soothing tone. "Is it just you here?"

Negan was patiently and admittedly joyfully waiting for the rabbit to leave the hole itself, out of the sheer panic caused by the unknown that was waiting on the other side of it. Yah, Negan liked games, an old habit he'd never given up. He did some more exaggerated breathing while leaning over the kitchen island like this wouldn't be more than a usual Sunday morning where you just relax, while you wait for your coffee finishing to brew - Sunday mornings as they had been usual back in a time that surely felt longer ago than it actually was.
And then the rabbit finally left the hole.
"STAY BACK!" A smirk appeared on Negan's lips and grew wider, as the girl went on. Wow, she didn't look older than 14 or maybe 15. He wondered if she was living here all on her own. "Don't come any closer...I will hurt you."
Lucille lying on top of the kitchen island, Negan glanced down at the knife, shivering in the girl's hands, with amusement. She had guts though, he thought. He didn't make any move, nor did he really react to her sudden announcement of herself, for he knew Nora and Dwight would be entering any moment. Not that he was dependant on that, but he liked to watch for a while before saying his hello to someone.
There was something about this girl that was strangely familiar...
And then in came the police - heaven sent. Negan kept on the smile for the whole time of just watching and saying nothing.
"Hey, hey, no one needs to get hurt,""Let's all just take a breath. We're gonna' put away our guns, you're gonna' put the knife down, okay?"
"We're just lookin' to talk, kid,""Is it just you here?"
Before the girl could have reacted to Dwight's question, suddenly Negan interfered after all. "I'm Negan. What's your name, girl?", he asked like someone seriously interested to know. This might not be what had come to standard as for starting a conversation nowadays, but Negan wasn't someone coming up to standard at all.

"Javier," Javier looked over to Hazel, "I don't think we're alone...," He agreed they were certainly not alone, someone was here.
"You're right." Before he could elaborate any further, a voice rang out from the kitchen.
"STAY BACK!" A girl- she sounded young. Inching closer he peered in to see a young girl pressed against the cabinet, knife in hand. "Don't come any closer...I will hurt you." He doubted she would be able to get anything but a few swings in, if possible.
Nora and Dwight would take care of it...
"Hey, hey, no one needs to get hurt, Let's all just take a breath. We're gonna' put away our guns, you're gonna' put the knife down, okay?"
"We're just lookin' to talk, kid, Is it just you here?" Javier didn't see many places to hide, the girl was alone- Javier was sure.
"I'm Negan. What's your name, girl?"

"You're right."
As if the timing of the events fell completely in sync with their speculations, the loud voice of a defensive yet scared young girl boomed from within the kitchen. Hazel's body shot upright as she twirled around rapidly to face the commotion in the kitchen.
"STAY BACK!" "Don't come any closer...I will hurt you."
Hazel entered just in time to see the young girl threatening to spar Negan with a kitchen knife. Hazel put both her hands up as she was about to negotiate with the frightened kid before Nora and Dwight entered to help diffuse the situation.
"Hey, hey, no one needs to get hurt, Let's all just take a breath. We're gonna' put away our guns, you're gonna' put the knife down, okay?"
"We're just lookin' to talk, kid, Is it just you here?" Javier didn't see many places to hide, the girl was alone- Javier was sure.
"I'm Negan. What's your name, girl?"
Silence filled the air as Hazel's anxious gaze panned back and forth between Negan and the young woman fiercely staring him down before she surprisingly began to lower her weapon...

"Hey, hey, no one needs to get hurt,""Let's all just take a breath. We're gonna' put away our guns, you're gonna' put the knife down, okay?"
Enid breathed heavily through her gritted teeth, her heart continued to pound against her chest as she glared at these strangers. They may not mean harm now, but Enid was not about to give in so easily. Keeping her eye on the big bag wolf looking brute, she pointed the knife in the way of the man and woman who entered the kitchen. They tried to get her to surrender but she did not show any signs of letting up.
"We're just lookin' to talk, kid,""Is it just you here?"
"What if I'm not? They might be back soon, and you don't want to be here when they get back...," Enid spoke sharply as she snapped at the man who was trying to reason with her. Both hands holding onto the knife, her arms began to tremble and her palms grew sweaty. There was nobody else, just her. Enid gave everything she had to defending herself, but she had a feeling that they knew there was no one here. It was just her. It had been for a long while up to now. She thought about giving in, accepting their help. But she was also afraid to learn about what would happen if she let her guard down in this new and scary world. The people weren't the same anymore. They had changed, and so had she.
"I'm Negan. What's your name, girl?"
Enid's full attention pointed to the man who called himself Negan. Her complexion grew rather confused as she stared at him in silence with eyes that were trying to recall something from the life from before all of this. The name was ringing a bell, yet it was just barely scratching the surface of the fog of memories from her past. She wasn't sure who he really was or where they may have met, but something deep inside her compelled her to trust this man as she began to lower her weapon slowly, staring at him with large, green eyes.
"Enid...I'm Enid." She spoke in an audible whisper as her tone reflected her defeat in her surrender to these strangers.

"I'm Negan. What's your name, girl?"
"Enid...I'm Enid."
Nora's posture loosened only slightly as the girl lowered the knife. It was still in her possession, thus still dangerous. Nora placed her gun back in its holster, but her hand continued to hover close to it. Since Javier and Hazel had now joined them in the kitchen, the girl had to see she was outnumbered. And Nora doubted the girl's shakily voiced claim that others were on their way.
"Enid, my name's Nora," she offered. "We're just looking for somewhere to wait out the storm. Same as you. Since you got here first, you got dibs. But we've got food and water, we'll share if you'll let us stay. Sound fair?"

At no time, Negan had given a hang about the girl making them wonder it could be not only her here - because he didn't wonder. Negan was pretty good at reading people, and she here - she was just trying to protect herself. All alone. And even if not, they were a whole group of armed people. And fucking hell, not only any people but The Saviors. Yes, he was proud of the community he had built up during all this time of surviving shit. Anyways, he wasn't going to harm an innocent girl. He was no bad guy. When the girl suddenly stared at him like he would be some kind of ghost, Negan came to wonder even more about why she was looking so familiar to him. He was sure that they never had met but yet - there was something about her face that reminded him of someone he knew. At least he thought that must be it. But then again, the way she was trying to read him as well... "Enid...I'm Enid.", she finally said, the knife lowering in her hand. And while the conversation was going on with Nora picking up the thread, a knowing and a somehow satisfied grin appeared around Negan's lips. Not one of those from spite but instead one of advantaged knowledge over everyone else in this room. And also one of surprise and gladness. "Enid, my name's Nora,""We're just looking for somewhere to wait out the storm. Same as you. Since you got here first, you got dibs. But we've got food and water, we'll share if you'll let us stay. Sound fair?"Negan was keeping up eye contact with Enid in an almost pressing way, yet still with this knowing grin on his face until she seemed to take notice of it. "Oh, we have more than just food and water.", he suddenly intervened and started a walk around the kitchen island before the girl could have replied to Nora. Then he came to a halt in front of her, the grinning lowering into an actual smile. "We have a mutual friend. Or shall I say... sister?"
Negan was sure about it right from the moment where he had heard her name. This was Ingrid's sister. And also Lucille's. And kind of his as well. Of course, he was not actually related to them, but after all this time, Ingrid had become family to him, blood-related or not. Negan and Enid might have never met in person but he had seen pictures in his wife's family portraits and the resemblance to Ingrid was clearly recognizable.

Javier had nothing important to add; he stayed silent and let everyone else talk. She was just a young girl, scared, alone, and Javier felt that Negan would not harm her. Even if the girl tried to hurt him- not that she would. However, times like these, Javier couldn't be so sure. The end of the world makes people do the craziest things, and he had done something he never thought he would.
Javier kept an ear for anyone else, just in case, but he had seen no signs of anyone else. More pressing, the dead, the cold would not deter them from a meal. If they picked up any kind of scent, they would follow it, and the group would be trapped.
"We have a mutual friend. Or shall I say... sister?"
Now Javier was confident that Negan would not harm her if he thought she was family.

Hazel silently sighed in relief as the young girl lowered her weapon. They were making progress with the poor girl who was clearly scared and alone. Perhaps she thought that she didn't stand a chance at wielding a kitchen knife against tall and stocky Negan as she stared at him rather strangely. Hazel figured that it was because the girl was frightened. Yet, things were about to get more weird than any of them could have ever imagined on this little road trip.
"We have a mutual friend. Or shall I say... sister?"
It took Hazel a minute before the light bulb would ding off in her head. Her eyes grew wide in surprise as her mouth rudely hung open in utter shock. Ingrid ... had a sister? All the way out here? Hazel's gaze was spanning from person left to person right as if she was in the midst of the plot twist of a popular soap opera.

"Enid, my name's Nora,""We're just looking for somewhere to wait out the storm. Same as you. Since you got here first, you got dibs. But we've got food and water, we'll share if you'll let us stay. Sound fair?"
Enid slowly drew her gaze that had melted from the hard glare to a pair of softer, saddened eyes from Negan over to Nora. Her pout remained closed, yet she slowly nodded as she began to abandon all efforts to ward these strangers off. Being alone for so long, she had forgotten what it was like to be surrounded by people who had a shred of care to offer. And being alone for so long, she was terrified of getting attached to anyone in fear of losing them. Being alone was easier, yet it was so incredibly lonely.
"Oh, we have more than just food and water."
Enid was skeptical of this large man who spoke rather proudly. Too proudly for Enid's liking. She wasn't particularly fond of the vibe that she got from him, especially as he waltzed closer and closer to her with a massive grin on his face. She watched him with careful eyes, yet she did not move from her place. She had a feeling these other people wouldn't let anything happen to her.
"We have a mutual friend. Or shall I say... sister?"
The knife that had retreated to Enid's side fell to the ground as she was wrapped in an overwhelming feeling. It took her a few seconds for her brain to begin to process what this man was trying to tell her, but when she clued in she grew flustered with a million emotions at once. "What?..." Enid grew completely flabbergasted as her breath began to quicken. Her eyes welded up with tears as she smiled with both joy and disbelief, "Ingrid's...alive?! How?! We had heard reports...the hospital her and Lucille were at was completely overrun...barely any survivors...we just thought...," Enid clasped her hand over her mouth as she grew emotional. She wasn't alone anymore.

"We have a mutual friend. Or shall I say... sister?"
"What are you talking about?" Nora scoffed at Negan's leap of logic. That this girl in a snowstorm in the middle of nowhere was related to him, or maybe to his ex-wife. It was beyond unbelievable, more like impossible.
"What?...Ingrid's...alive?! How?! We had heard reports...the hospital her and Lucille were at was completely overrun...barely any survivors...we just thought..."
Nora's skeptical scowl softened as Enid seemed overwhelmed with emotions of her own. Knowing Ingrid's name, knowing that she and Lucille were at the hospital, all seemed to confirm Negan's proclamation. This was the sister Ingrid had spoken of, the one she had never given up on reuniting with. That didn't make the situation any less unbelievable.
"Uh, Negan, Ingrid, and I were together for a long while," Nora offered hesitantly. She looked across at Dwight, wondering who was going to be the one to tell this girl that they had no idea where her sister currently was or if she was even still alive.

Negan didn't let the clang the girl's knife made as it fell to the ground, nor the fact that all eyes were glued at him like flies on one of those disgusting fly strips people had hung up all around their house in the 90s, put him out of this triumph he was feeling ever since he had figured it out - first, at that. He also ignored Nora's question. She would find out what he was talking about soon enough, oh, and then she would be thankful for him to have led them through this shitty weather, although she still had no idea why they actually did so. And now where they had found the long-lost nestling, Negan was more confident than ever before that her older sister, who was miss-badass-with-a-bow had survived all shit those people might have made her go through. And what was almost equally important to him: he would get a chance to make them fucking pay by not only letting off his steam on them but also by walking away with her, by the time everything was over.
"What?...Ingrid's...alive?! How?! We had heard reports...the hospital her and Lucille were at was completely overrun...barely any survivors...we just thought..."
At the mentioning of Lucille, there was a moment where something else mixed up with the smile still on Negan's face, yet it didn't vanish completely. Before he could have replied to the girl's emotional outburst himself, Nora spoke up first, rather clumsy at that. A cop could be as tough as shit but handling a teenager could be something quite out of their league as well, Negan thought with a little smirk of amusement. Then he suddenly chimed in - probably to the surprise of everyone who knew him as their ruthless leader but not as the teacher he'd been back in the past (admittedly, a teacher sometimes just as ruthless as he was a leader, but every team had their mental crack-ups, buck fevers and setbacks, and whose task was it then to put the meat back on their bones? Exactly, the task of a good coach).
"Uh, Negan, Ingrid, and I were together for a long while,"
"Let me tell you a story about your sister, Enid." Negan started with an encouraging tone as he kneeled down to the girl. "In this overrun hospital, Ingrid had not only survived shit, but she also had saved my ass when I was acting like a sissy who couldn't..." It surely was not a good idea to tell Enid that they had to fire a bullet into her other sister's head, for none of them, and so he decided to skip that part. "On our way out, we happened to get separated, and, after we'd managed to make it out alive, we thought her to be dead for more than two weeks. But you know what? She had survived shit - yet again. All on her own, just like you." Even if he didn't put it into words, it was clear how impressed he was that Enid had made it so far all on her own as well. If Negan had learned anything in all the years of having been married to Lucille, watching her fight with cancer, and later having survived shit on Ingrid's side, then it was that the Snow family was flipping their one finger right up fate's ass. This family tradition seemed to include the little one as well.
"Ingrid's one of the bravest and most persistent persons I've ever met in my whole life.", Negan continued as he rose back to an upright position, still with an encouraging smile on his face, though. It was time for the moment of truth - to everyone in the room. "It's true that we got separated again a while ago. But do we believe she's dead? No. We are, right now, on a mission to get her back and kick their kidnapper's asses so that they wish they'd never been born with one."
Now the cat was out of the bag, that being the fact that he had yet again failed to protect his family, just as the reason for this whole journey.

Javier didn't have much to say, he just sat back and let them continue on. He listened and took in this new knowledge, this girl they were going after was a big part of Negan. He would do whatever it took to get her back and Javier would do what he could to help. If only to get back to Santana, he just hoped she was safe. He didn't trust the people that Negan left in charge and if they hurt her, he would lose all control.

Listening to Negan's speech to this young girl, Hazel's heart tightened in her chest as her eyes began to glaze over with tears of emotion. Seeing Negan in a light that she had never seen him in before, Hazel was rendered speechless. Under all the confidence and arrogance, Negan was a family man who only ever wanted to protect his own. Noting that the situation was diffusing rather well, Hazel took a few steps back beside Javier to allow the reunited family to have their moment.

"Ingrid's one of the bravest and most persistent persons I've ever met in my whole life." "It's true that we got separated again a while ago. But do we believe she's dead? No. We are, right now, on a mission to get her back and kick their kidnapper's asses so that they wish they'd never been born with one."
Tears streamed silently down Enid's face as Negan told the emotional story of their journey with her sister, Ingrid. There was no doubt in her mind that Ingrid had made it this far, she had always known her sister to be a fighter. The more that Negan spoke of Ingrid, the more Enid grew to trust this man. Brutish and intimidating when they first met moments ago, now gentle man of love and loyalty for his family. If Ingrid had trusted him with her life, Enid felt compelled to do the same.
"Ingrid's gotta be alive, you wanna know how I'm so sure?," Looking up at Negan and Nora, Enid nodded. The last half of his speech amped Enid up with the same determination that set a fire in Negan, and there was no surprise to any of them there that she would join the fight, "She's got the same secret weapon that I have, something special passed down from our father. J.S.S...Just Survive Somehow. It's saved my life, and it sounds like it's saved hers too," Enid spoke with a newfound assurance that this group was seeing for the first time, "Those kidnappers messed with the wrong family."

"...Those kidnappers messed with the wrong family."
Nora's face scrunched up in confusion as she looked from Negan to Enid. Okay, so this kid was Ingrid's and Lucille's sister, and Negan's sister-in-law as well. And they were now on the way to Georgia where he knew that Ingrid was being kept. A trip that had been arranged by Negan's newest wife, Hazel. How long had he known? How long had she known? And did he even stop to consider they were being led into an ambush?
"Okay, great. Fun times, family reunion," Nora said, with feigned enthusiasm. Everyone else in the room seemed to be relaxing, but the fuse on her anger was just starting to spark. "Negan, we need to talk," she advised, nodding toward the doorway.

At one moment, Negan was almost peacefully listening to Enid's words, proud of this whole setting, when only one moment later, he found himself confronted with something he admittedly hadn't been prepared for.
"Okay, great. Fun times, family reunion," Nora's anger.
"Whoa!" At this moment, Negan actually wanted to react respectfully, but he just couldn't. She was furnishing him a fit occasion over and over again. No, it probably wasn't her fault, but instead, it was just the fact that he was an asshole. And most of the time, he was enjoying just that. And so his Whoa had not only come off as a cry of astonishment, but rather as that, mixed with a tone that turned her whole reaction into ridicule.
"Negan, we need to talk,"
She was really pissed. Hell, was she pissed. Now Negan sincerely tried to hide the upcoming smile, but this was just too hard. And so, instead, he turned his head around to the others and gave them a Give me a second, I handle the bitch look - which most probably didn't make it any better.
Following Nora's nodding towards the door, Negan passed her in his usual macho way of walking by until they were outside. He was just going to turn around and to make a sassy comment, but, this time, she surely wouldn't let him.

Nora didn't stop walking until she was in the bedroom beside the kitchen. She waited for Negan to clear the room's threshold and closed the door. Before any snide remarks could issue from his condescending grin, she slapped the side of his face with such force that it made her hand hurt.
"You lying son of a bitch! How long have you known, huh?" she cried. "Ingrid is my family, too. Why didn't you tell me?" Somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew she should be grateful that they had a possible location for the missing woman, that they were en route to get her back. But right now, all Nora was feeling was betrayed and angry, and she wanted to make him feel that hurt.

No. We are, right now, on a mission to get her back and kick their kidnapper's asses so that they wish they'd never been born with one." Javier did what he did best and stayed silent, just listening and gaining more information.
"Okay, great. Fun times, family reunion, Negan, we need to talk," Nora wasn't happy, it was clear- the sarcasm in her 'fun times' it reminded him of Santana. He let a small smile escape and watched as the two walked off. Javier decided this would be a good time to introduce himself to the girl.
"Hi, I'm Javier." He took out a little bottle of water and extended it to her. "not much but it's a little something."
