"You really think it's a grand idea to fucking torture my people? If you'd like not to get killed, I suggest you stop this and apologize."
"Are you kidding me?!" Nora hissed. She inwardly panicked and wondered if she should have pulled Negan back the moment he started to walk away from their hiding spot. But it was done now. Their enemies knew they were there. Well, they knew Negan was there. If they were smart, they'd guess that he wasn't alone, despite his cocksure attitude.
Nora turned to a couple of the others behind her, ones she trusted to keep a level head. “You guys backtrack and see if you can find a way around to the other side. Do not make a move until you get a signal from me," she instructed. With a silent nod, they were off back into the shadows. Nora resumed her stance, peering around the corner and anxiously watching.

While Negan was, of course, tensed and insecure deep down, not so much for himself but all the people he was putting into potential danger here, he remained self-assured on the outside. It was important that they thought he was quite sure about their victory. First of all, though, they seemed just surprised; So surprised that, in the next moment, Ecksley started to chuckle and, lastly, to break into a burst of laughter. Negan despised this man from the bottom of his soul. But what he did was join in, not even for a second giving the other what he wanted, which was to make him feel insecure.
"Aren't reunions something sweet?" Negan said after some more moments of awkwardly laughing with Ecksley while everyone else seemed too confused to move any muscle. Then their laughter died down after all, but on Negan's lips, there would remain a bit of it at least. "And now - apologize," he repeated like this stage was all his, pointing at Dwight and Greg, whose faces were covered in dirt and blood.

Dr. Ecksley - tempplay by Kristi Lynne -
"Aren't reunions something sweet? And now - apologize.""Well, well, well. If it isn't the man himself. Been a long time, Negan," Ecksley hissed, no warmth in the greeting. "See, these two guys told us they had no idea where you were. Said you got separated somewhere around Roanoke. Guess that was a lie, huh?" He bent down in front of Dwight and gave him an accusing look before straightening up and addressing the rest of the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the man who caused the fall of Fort Belvoir," he announced. "The man that destroyed everything we built, the man that shattered your safe haven and put you and your families in danger. Of course, he couldn't have done it without his sister and his little blonde girlfriend. Are they here, too?" He turned to begin a scan of their surroundings.

"Aren't reunions something sweet? And now - apologize."
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the man himself. Been a long time, Negan," "See, these two guys told us they had no idea where you were. Said you got separated somewhere around Roanoke. Guess that was a lie, huh?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the man who caused the fall of Fort Belvoir," "The man that destroyed everything we built, the man that shattered your safe haven and put you and your families in danger.

Ingrid was shaking at this point. How dare this man speak this way to Negan. All the bad this man had done, and yet he tried to look like the shining light and redeem his image. Not for long, Ingrid thought inwardly, as her hand laid against the end of the arrow and the bow's string. She wanted to dearly to pierce a hole right through Ecksley's skull this very moment. But she knew that she could not blow their cover, or else the ones she loved might die. A gentle hand cupped over her two that rested in her armed bow. She peered upwards to find Roger's sympathetic gaze staring straight at her. He was from the Fort, he knew the horrors this man had done. But he was also willing to be a sound mind in a scenario where Ingrid was thinking of impulsively acting. Ingrid looked into his eyes, finding a shred of comfort and let out a silent exhale. "Thank you," Ingrid mouthed in Roger's direction. They hadn't known each other for too long, but he had a magical way of knowing when she needed some grounding. The three continued to pay attention to the action that was happening below.

“Oh, I’m here, alright, you lying son of a bitch," Nora uttered under her breath. Though she would much rather say it to Ecksley's face, now was not the time. She regretted having made the effort to save the horrid man from that hallway full of walkers. Even though she'd taken an oath and worn a badge proclaiming her duty to help others, this time it had come back to haunt them. And now Dwight and Greg were innocent men suffering the consequences of that wrong choice.
Sadly, all she could do at the moment was hang back in the shadows and observe Negan's actions. If all of these people had really been convinced that Negan and his friends were the cause of the fort's downfall, it was difficult to see any road forward. There would be no cooperation, only hatred and blame for what they had lost.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the man himself. Been a long time, Negan,""See, these two guys told us they had no idea where you were. Said you got separated somewhere around Roanoke. Guess that was a lie, huh?"
Again, Negan despised this man from the very bottom of his soul, and, again, he wouldn't let that show, for that would mean to give Ecksley what he wanted. Instead, Negan let another chuckle follow, with a silent message that games like this weren't working with him, not this way around. Despite the facade, a slight hint of anger was visible on Negan's features for the short moment of Ecksley nearing Dwight with this accusing look. Stay away from him, asshole. These men belonged to him, and only to him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the man who caused the fall of Fort Belvoir,""The man that destroyed everything we built, the man that shattered your safe haven and put you and your families in danger. Of course, he couldn't have done it without his sister and his little blonde girlfriend. Are they here, too?"
"Oh, is that what you told your people?" Negan asked between chuckles over this man's dumb audacity, ignoring the question about Ingrid's and Nora's whereabouts. He stepped closer towards Ecksley while his features turned into disgust after all. A little quieter, he added: "Too gutless to tell them the truth?" before turning his attention back to everyone around again, speaking louder once more. "Maybe I should tell them where you put their dear family members in. Not just in danger but something even darker than death while they served you as little guinea pigs for your experiments, wasn't that so?"

Ingrid watched closely as Negan took a stride in Ecksley's direction, while continuing to survey the gathering below in case one of the opposing side's men made any sneaky moves. She was nervous about this entire scenario. Ecksley was straight up horrible for everything he had done up to this point, especially now for torturing their friends. She wondered if exposing him on the spot like this was the right call to make, uncertain as to how things were going to pan out. Yet, she knew that she had to trust the process, and trust in Negan.

Not just in danger but something even darker than death while they served you as little guinea pigs for your experiments, wasn't that so?"
Ecksley uttered a scoffing laugh. "Why would I lie to my people?" he countered. "Ever since the world fell, I spent my time and energy on helping them. Protecting them from the dangers outside. The danger that you and your friends brought inside. "I've always been protecting them. I was there when their son broke his arm on the playground," he continued. "When their daughter woke with a fever, when their husband was up all night coughing, when their wife was stricken with blinding migraines. I'm the same person now as I was before. Their healer, their counselor, their savior. What were you before, Negan? "Some lone wolf in a leather jacket," Ecksley stated. "I told Colonel Luttrell not to let you in, but he wanted to see the best in people. Give everyone an equal chance. So we gave you food, shelter, jobs. And you, and Nora and Ingrid, used us to get what you wanted. That's the truth."

Negan listened to Ecksley's ridiculous speech with a mix of disgust and amusement on his features. How does he have the audacity to present himself as their hero while, in truth, he was their captain of this sinking ship called Fort Belvoir?
When there came no more shit out of the man's mouth, Negan decided for a quiet chuckle as his first reaction. A chuckle though, that quickly rose into laughter, making him bend his whole body backwards.
"So, you ACTUALLY want ME to tell them what YOU brought inside the place that you call their safe haven?" Negan asked with still an amused tone in his voice, ignoring everything else that Ecksley had said before, for he already had figured this man just liked to hear himself talking, even more than he did himself. Before the other could say anything more, Negan turned his attention towards his people around. "I'm sure you all would like to hear how your grand hero helped the sick citizens when the fever became high enough to give them no other option but wait for their death. He gave them worse than that. He let them turn into those fucking monsters you thought he'd protect you from. Because it's so much more interesting to study them, isn't that so?" he turned with a question, still in mocking amusement, back towards Ecksley, giving him a chance to explain himself while he was sure he'd reject everything he said anyway.

As if Negan and his traitorous friends could be trusted. “Sometimes science demands sacrifices," Ecksley declared. "We were fighting something we’d never seen, and we were losing. The situation had to be contained, or it would have gotten exponentially worse. Those people, those few brave souls -- they gave their permission to be detained and observed. So that we could learn and somehow find a way to fight it."

“Sometimes science demands sacrifices. We were fighting something we’d never seen, and we were losing. The situation had to be contained, or it would have gotten exponentially worse. Those people, those few brave souls -- they gave their permission to be detained and observed. So that we could learn and somehow find a way to fight it."
The more Ecksley talked, the more the terror of those last few days at the fort came rushing back to Nora. Her own curiosity having caught her in a trap, helpless and left to die. She stared at an old oil stain on the concrete floor and tried to breathe deeply. Her grip on her gun tightened until her anger erupted.
"Bullshit!" she shouted, leaving the shadows and walking out onto the open floor, her pistol steadily trained on Ecksley's head. "I never consented to be your lab rat, and neither did they! I saw something I wasn't supposed to see, and you tried to kill me. If it weren't for Negan and Ingrid and Dwight, you would have done it."
The element of surprise was now shot to hell, and Nora didn't even dare to look at Negan. Once the wrathful wave had subsided, she realized she was now being observed by a crowd full of fear and confusion. "Please, everyone," Nora began, lowering her gun. "Whatever Ecksley told you, it's not true. We were your friends, your neighbors, your coworkers. This man took advantage of all of us. He is not your savior."

"Bullshit!" "I never consented to be your lab rat, and neither did they! I saw something I wasn't supposed to see, and you tried to kill me. If it weren't for Negan and Ingrid and Dwight, you would have done it."
"Please, everyone," "Whatever Ecksley told you, it's not true. We were your friends, your neighbors, your coworkers. This man took advantage of all of us. He is not your savior."
Ingrid was enraged by the claims Ecksley was making. He was an evil man, conniving, full of lies and manipulation. The fact that he dared to downplay the events in which took place at the Fort was enough to make Ingrid boil with rage. Her body was shaking, she was aware that Roger could feel it emulating off of her. And yet the way she felt was out of her control. She watched nervously as Nora stepped out from the shadows to share her testimony, lowering her weapon to show Ecksley's members that we were one of them, on their side. Ingrid knew her position, and yet could not contain herself any longer. Impulsively, Ingrid lunged in front of the two on each side of her towards the staircase when a hand gently grabbed her wrist in warning. She turned her gaze over her shoulder towards Roger who was giving her a concerned yet warning look. She nodded towards him with a look that spoke that she would be alright. She knew that he would look after the boy in her company after all. Succumbing to his failed attempt, he loosened his grasp and she quickly made her way towards the stairs.
"She's right," Ingrid's voice suddenly entered the large warehouse as she cascaded slowly down the stairs, keeping her eye on Ecksley, "He robbed you all of a good, comfortable life. Killed your friends, your families. And for what? It certainly wasn't for the greater good, I can tell you that," Ingrid confirmed as her feet finally met the concrete floor at the bottom, her bow securely fastened in her hand, "If you honestly think you got away with your heinous crimes, Ecksley, know that you truly have fucked around with the wrong family. And you're about to find out." Ingrid stood her ground as she firmly snapped in Ecksley's direction, holding eye contact with the devil himself.

And just like expected, Ecksley broke forth with more rejection and lies, now towards his people to make them stay by his side. But Negan saw something in at least a few faces that told him of Ecksley's defeat. Maybe not today, maybe not even tomorrow, but one day. And although they all weren't his problem anymore, it gave him satisfaction, regardless of what would happen to himself.
However, when suddenly someone he would have preferred to know save in the background spoke up as well, stepping out of her hideout with her gun aimed at the man himself, satisfaction changed into a bit of anger. Not primarily towards Nora, for he got her stance, but instead, over the fact that the situation was slipping out of his hands.
"Bullshit!""I never consented to be your lab rat, and neither did they! I saw something I wasn't supposed to see, and you tried to kill me. If it weren't for Negan and Ingrid and Dwight, you would have done it."
Negan remained silent, realizing Nora's way of avoiding eye contact with him.
"Please, everyone,""Whatever Ecksley told you, it's not true. We were your friends, your neighbors, your coworkers. This man took advantage of all of us. He is not your savior."
"She's right,""He robbed you all of a good, comfortable life. Killed your friends, your families. And for what? It certainly wasn't for the greater good, I can tell you that,""If you honestly think you got away with your heinous crimes, Ecksley, know that you truly have fucked around with the wrong family. And you're about to find out."
And of course, Ingrid would follow suit. But that fact didn't anger Negan at all. They were family, and they would step into hellfire for each other. He would have done exactly the same. Negan was just glad that his sister refrained from shooting Ecksley with one of her apt arrows right away. The people of Fort Belvoir were not yet there, accepting their leader being shot, that was.
Instead of reacting to his people's not-so-well-thought-through action of accompanying him at the front, Negan stoked the hellfire just some more by making steps into Ecksley's direction as well, until he stood right in front of the man and also right beside Ingrid. "They know as well now," he said with a pointer around them. "And unlike you might think, they will see even more of that if you should go on torturing our people like this." At that, his pointer met Dwight and Greg for a moment. "So, what we're going to do is this: We make you choose. " You've long lost whatever you'll do, Negan added only in mind. His people surely were aware of that. In the end, he'll make this man pay, one way or another. "Redemption or death. Now choose, asshole," The last words, Negan almost whispered, much more intense though.

So, what we're going to do is this: We make you choose. Redemption or death. Now choose, asshole."A defiant laugh escaped Ecksley's lips. "You really think you're in charge here," he scoffed. Despite the sudden appearance of Negan's allies, Ecksley still had the numbers on his side. "You've appointed yourself judge, jury, and executioner? My redemption is in your hands? I think I'll pass," he declared. "I would have offered you the option to take your pair of spies and leave," Ecksley continued. "But I think we're past that now. You know where we are. You could come back, with more people, more firepower. I'm not letting you take everything from me again."

I'm not letting you take everything from me again."
"He offered you a choice, Ecksley. Does he need to say it in your other ear so that you hear it right?" Nora offered in a cold and detached tone, to remind him of the consequences of crossing her. The choice was probably more than he deserved and if she were honest, she didn't know if she could handle Negan actually giving this monster a chance at redemption.
The majority of the crowd was still on Ecksley's side, and why wouldn't they be? He had led them to this safe place. He'd given them no reason to doubt his good intentions. She needed to make this personal. Luckily, she had a good memory for names, ones she'd seen on all those locked hospital rooms.
"All your family and friends that were transferred to the fifth floor of the fort's hospital -- did you ever hear from them again? Were you told that they were too sick to see you?" Nora searched the gathered survivors for familiar faces from the nearby houses or from work. "Sanderson -- your mother. Durant -- your son. Harrell -- your sister. Sizemore -- your grandfather...
"No, they were locked away, alone and scared, left to turn into something inhuman," she informed the attentive audience. "You didn't get to say goodbye. You didn't get to bury your dead, to give them the respect and dignity they deserved. Doctor Ecksley took that from you, from all of you. And he'll do it again, if he hasn't already."

Ingrid kept her sight set on Eckley, her bones not moving in an inch away from the monster as Nora and Negan spoke the truth. Little did she know that Chase's quiver was loaded, and ready to shoot. She was so in the moment and had yet to inform her own protégée to stand down. The sweat was beaming down from his face onto the palms of his hands as they bean to shake. Roger finally clued in at the last moment, his final pleas begged Chase not to let go. But it was too late - and with a silent yet swift whip of an arrow, all that had been heard was a slight echo through the room before the arrow had pierced one of the men closest to Dwight. He fell to the ground, immediately succumbing to his injuries.
No, Ingrid thought inwardly to herself, taking a few steps backwards from the scene of the crime. The man was most definitely dead. She did a double take, looking from Ecksley back to Negan, waiting for orders regarding what exactly to do in this dire moment.

While, in one moment, Negan had felt proud of his family, of the smartly speech coming from Nora, he, in the next moment, was anything but proud of them, or rather one of them. Chase, this damn rookie! And although he probably shouldn't, he also blamed Ingrid for he was one of her apprentices. Anyway, there was no time for blaming anyone right now. The man Chase's arrow had met seemed dead as a dodo. Shit.
Negan quickly had himself back under control, and wouldn't allow Ecksley to take any action before he did. Fortunately, he still stood close enough to this man to grab him and hold a knife to his throat. "Opportunity missed," he whispered towards the man himself before raising his voice towards his people around. "Now, if anyone makes a move, he's dead, too," Negan warned them, well aware that they still weren't ready to watch a man die who had given them a more or less safe place to live. And those who would out of an affection for the dead guy might be still too shocked.

Dr. Ecksley - tempplay by Kristi Lynne - Ecksley barely heard the whistle of an arrow zipping by his head before one of his men fell quickly to the ground. He didn't even have time to register where it came from before Negan was upon him, the sharp point of a knife lingering dangerously close to the skin of his throat. "Opportunity missed. Now, if anyone makes a move, he's dead, too.""You overestimate your charm, Negan," Ecksley coughed, unwilling to recognize that the situation was spinning out of his control. He futilely tried to pull the other man's arms from around him but was locked in Negan's grip. "Even if you kill me, they won't follow you."

When the man fell from the arrow hit, Nora's muscle memory kicked in and prepared for self-defense, holding her gun out at the ready. Only the shot came from her own side. It clearly wasn't Ingrid, and she looked up to see Chase on the balcony above. Whether it was an accident or intentional, his strike had just escalated things.
Unfortunately, the others that she had sent around to the other side of the building took this as their signal to join the fight. They emerged from the shadows on the opposite wall, guns at the ready to confront the crowd. None of them knew whether to try to escape or where to go.
Nora took advantage of the confusion to focus on their primary objective of freeing their people. She holstered her firearm and switched over to the knife. With care but also quickness, she began to cut away at the ropes that bound Dwight to his chair.

The entire room lit up with instant chaos as man sought out violence against one another. Ingrid's gaze flashed upwards towards the upper balcony only to find that Chase and Roger were suddenly nowhere to be seen. She dodged a hook, swirling her head under an arm before bringing herself upwards and swiftly bearing her weight into her elbow to knock her opponent down to the ground before surveying the room. Immediate violence erupted within the room as she scanned the situation, looking for where help may be needed. Ingrid took note of Nora's rapid decision to attempt to cut their friends loose of their bonds and without any doubt in her mind did she turn to cover her friend of any threats. While in the process of doing so, she unfortunately allowed her guard to slip and a sharp knife dove her way. Ingrid only realized the threat heading her direction as a battle cry ensued, the blade almost piercing her skull. Before she could comprehend what was happening, a strong arm intercepted, disarming the man followed by a cry of agony from the opponent that had charged at her. Ingrid looked upwards at Roger standing in front of her, looking over his shoulder to give her a look that searched for her to be alright before continuing the fight. The fact that Roger had her back gave her a newfound source of confidence, fueling her adrenaline even more. And damn, was he ever attractive in a mode of protection. Ingrid allowed arrows to fly in all directions as Nora continued to free Dwight, both knowing that Negan had their entire fates in his hands.

"You overestimate your charm, Negan,""Even if you kill me, they won't follow you."
While the first comment brought forth no more than a quiet chuckle of amusement, the second caused him to respond immediately, the war around them already in full swing. "They might not. But you'll die anyway. They will remember my words, and they might not be as fucking stupid as you deem them to be."
Negan took a moment to scan the people, differentiate the view between his and theirs. Any fight had a bitter taste to it when your own people were involved, but he had trust in their ability to survive, in most of them at least. Only when he saw Ingrid almost getting beheaded on her way to help Nora free their friend, did Negan's features freeze for a moment. No, he knew she was one of the strongest at surviving. He turned his gaze back at Ecksley, who was still in his firm grip.
"Besides," he attached to his former words as if the fight scene hadn't just interrupted everyone's thoughts and actions, "this has never been about addition to the team. It's something personal with you."

Despite the surrounding chaos, Nora focused on the task of freeing Dwight with near tunnel vision, blocking out any other sights and sounds. When Dwight's arms were undone, he was able to help remove the restraints around his legs. Nora then helped him to his feet, trying to assess his condition. "You okay?" she asked.
"I will be," he said weakly. He began to look around with concern. “Is Sherry here?”
“No, she’s back at camp," Nora replied. "I told her I’d bring you back in one piece. Don’t make a liar out of me.” She placed her own gun in Dwight's capable hands, entrusting him to cover her while she went to work on the restraints that held Greg.

Dr. Ecksley - tempplay by Kristi Lynne - "They might not. But you'll die anyway. They will remember my words, and they might not be as fucking stupid as you deem them to be. Besides, this has never been about addition to the team. It's something personal with you.""That's why you'll always fail, Negan," Ecksley declared through gritted teeth. "You can't save them all. Sometimes you have to decide who to let go." With one hand, he continued to try to loosen Negan's grasp, while the other hand began to reach for the knife that he kept hooked to his belt. Just a few inches out of reach.

The fighting pressed onward all around them with no sign of stopping in sight as Ingrid continued to provide cover for Nora. Her arrows whizzed through the air towards their targets, landing hits every single time. The smell of blood grew stronger as knuckles and faces took more beatings, some even to death. The last thing Ingrid wanted was for anyone to die today, but one thing was clear - no one messes with their crew without facing consequences. Yells and cries of all sorts echoed through the warehouse, some familiar ones that made Ingrid's heart jolt. But she couldn't look, because she knew that if she did then she would have no choice but to try and save them. Ingrid knew deep down that they couldn't save everyone.
Ingrid's surveying gaze darted over in Negan's direction, Ecksley still in his tight grasp. An inward gasp shrilled through Ingrid's throat as she realized that Ecksley was just a touch away from grabbing the weapon that was on him, "Negan!" Ingrid shouted, pointing her head rapidly towards Ecksley's belt.

Negan had almost allowed himself to neglect his focus on Ecksley's actions, too deep into thinking that he had gotten the upper hand at this point anyway. But a call from Ingrid made him realize how much of a wrong thought that had been.
"Negan!"
He turned around towards her for a second, one second too long as it seemed. In the next moment, Negan felt a sharp pain running through his leg, forcing him to curve for a second, but this time, a second not too long. Despite the moment of surprise and the loss of his own knife in his hands, he quickly was back to focusing, thanks to his pain, on the right spot.
With one hand, the leader of the Saviors managed to take a grip on Ecksley's armed hand, and, with that, also to take back full control of the situation. His own knife had fallen onto the ground when the other surprised him with an attack, but Negan had a talent for improvisation, naturally. Despite the pain in his leg and the heavy bleeding he could tell from it, he localized all his strength to finally set an end to this, the end that had to come eventually anyway.
"Missed chance, asshole," Negan whispered to the man he had a very personal problem with before he used Ecksley's knife to slit the man's throat once and for all, fatally and deadly.
He allowed himself a few seconds, not more, to breathe in the air of this execution, the scent of blood and death. Then he took care of his injury by tearing off a scrap of Ecksley's clothes to position it around his leg, serving as a tourniquet sufficient enough for the moment. A quiet hiss through clenched teeth escaped him as he tightened it, but, again, he didn't allow himself a moment too long. As soon as the bleeding had stopped, he somehow managed to move, Ecksley's dead body dragged along, heading for the top of the platform. Only a few people took actual notice of him and the fact that Ecksley was dead while he neared his destination. Once there, Negan finally allowed himself to take in another breath, not just to get rid of the tension in his muscles due to the injury and the effort his walk had meant to him, but also a breath of satisfaction.
He took out Lucille and started banging on the railing so that he would get everyone's attention. Once everyone's eyes were on him, he declared: "Ecksley is dead! He had chosen his own fate by opposing me. If you wouldn't like to follow him to death, then choose to come with the Saviors! Choose Negan! Because THIS is MY-fucking-place now!" His last words and especially the tone with which they were spoken were making it clear that this was not really about giving choices, but, instead, about declaring them either one of them or dead.
