It's been close to a month since you've first became chancellor of the Oasis.

People prospered and got to live life as they should. It's been a complete 180 of when Carver led the community.

You and Clementine managed the community together. The both of you were respected and looked up to in case of conflict, which hasn't happened for some time.

Within the Air Force base, there were blocks of houses that people could live in. They held up pretty well, you assume the base was taken over immediately after the initial outbreak and was kept in good condition.

You and Clementine had a house in a culdesac. Since the prison, you've felt as if you can finally thrive once again.

You, Louis, Aasim, and Clementine were playing UNO on the coffee table.

Louis: Dude, if you save your wild card till the end again, I'm going to punch your eyes.

Aasim: You gotta do what you gotta do, man.

Clementine: Loser.

Aasim: What?

You chuckle as you shuffle cards. You start handing them out.

Aasim: So, Louis....you mind talking to us about the new girl, Hana?

Hana was girl brought in a couple weeks ago with her mother.

Louis: What's there to talk about?

You: I mean....we've seen you guys walking and talking for the last few days.

Louis crosses his arms.

Louis: My lips are sealed.

Clementine: Booooo.

As the three of you continue playing, you hear a knock on your door. You get up to answer, and it turns out to be Wyatt, one of your lead guards.

You: Wyatt? What's up?

Wyatt: Sorry if I'm bothering you, but there's a problem. It's about that scouting unit we sent earlier....

••

You and Clementine were in the conference center with Lee, Alvin, and Wyatt. Other people and lead advisors were there too.

One of your scouts began to speak.

Scout 1: They came out of nowhere. We were checking the estates near Westphalia when they began shooting.

You: Were any of you hurt?

Scout 2: Taylor was shot in the arm. He'll recover.

Clementine: Do we know who they are? Were we in anybody's territory?

Lee: We don't know.

Alvin: Did you get any of them?

Scout 2: We killed a couple of them. That's when they retreated.

One of your lead advisors representing the citizens began to speak. Her name was Shel.

Shel: So what are we going to do? You think they might venture closer and try to attack the Oasis?

You had soldiers and guards, not enough like Carver had before, but enough to protect the Oasis. If this group was a threat, you felt that scouting them out near the estates would be beneficial.

Alvin: We should go back to the estates, and secure the area. I'll lead the team.

Lee: You sure about this?

You: I agree. We see who they are and what they have. If they attack, then we fight back too.

Lee nodded.

You: I'll go with you, Alvin.

Clementine: If you're going, I'm going too.

You nod at Clementine.

Lee: Fine. Count me in.

Wyatt also agrees to go.

You: All right. It's settled. We go tomorrow at noon.

••

It was the next day, and your group took one van to check out the estates. Omid and another guard named Russell came along with you. The group consisted of you, Clementine, Lee, Alvin, Wyatt, Omid, and Russell.

Omid: So these motherfuckers just opened fire at the scouts?

You: Yeah. Thankfully nobody got killed.

Alvin: Aside from two of there's.

Alvin smirked at his own remark.

Wyatt was driving the van, and looked at Alvin through the rear view mirror.

Wyatt: We're some tough sons of bitches aren't we?

Omid chuckled.

You were nearing the same area the scouts said they were attacked at. Wyatt stopped the van a block away from the small office building they said the men were shooting from, and left the vehicle.

You and your group walked through trees towards the building. Once you made it, you all hid within the shrubs and looked on at the building. You saw several men with rifles walking about.

Lee: Bingo.

Omid: What do we do?

You: They shot first. They're a threat. I don't want to take chances.

Alvin nodded. Russell did as well.

Russell: Let's rain hell.

You all began to spread out. Lee and Omid went to the left side. Russell and Alvin went to the right. You, Clementine, and Wyatt stayed where you were.

You saw two men conversing at the side of the building. You aimed your rifle, and fired.

BRAKAKA!

The one man fell, and Clementine shot the other one before he can react.

BRAKAKAKA!

The rest of the men began to react.

???: In the trees!

They began to fire back at you.

BRAKAKAKA!

Lee began shooting as well, taking down one man.

BRAKAKA!

You: Move up!

You all ran towards the building, and took cover behind abandoned cars.

BRAKAKAKAKA!

BRAKAKAKAKA!

The two sides continued to fight. Omid shot one man that went near his cover.

BRAKA!

There was only two left. Things seemed to have been going without a hitch.

Russell shot one man who ran out of the building.

POW!

The last man went running towards another cover when you shot him in the leg.

BRAKA!

???: Argh!

He fell to the ground, holding his leg and dropping his rifle.

You motioned your group to get out of cover, the threat was dealt with.

You started walking up to the injured man, who was groaning in pain. You knelt on one knee beside him him.

You: Who are you? Why are you attacking people who go near this place?

He didn't answer, and just began to laugh.

You brought out your handgun, and cocked it.

You: Who are you?

He continued to smirk and looked at you.

???: I'm Negan, asshole.

He then let out a laugh.

You shook your head. It was a very familiar name to you, but you ignored it.

You holstered your gun, and got up. You didn't have it in you to execute him, but you didn't want to help him either. You look around, and see walkers stumbling towards the area.

You: Leave him. Let's go.

The rest agreed, and followed you.
