Lining up cars with large metal sheets at the entrance of the Savior Outpost, Rick and his group finally arrived. Using the metal and cars for cover, the Hilltop's, Kingdom's, and Alexandria's people with Rick, Jesus, Gabriel, Maggie, Ezekiel, Aaron, Jerry, and Terra exited the cars, armed with guns. After firing a symphony of bullets to get Negan's attention, the group patiently waited.

Negan soon showed himself, holding the iconic bat Lucille, Dwight, Simon, Gavin, Regina and Eugene behind him. "Well, shit. Sorry, I was in a meeting." Negan remarked with a wide, surprised smile, noticing the crowd. "I see you got your little mud flaps with ya." Negan said, pointing at the metal sheets attached to the cars.

"So, I'm not exactly feeling a reason for us to try and throw light at each other." Negan paused for a moment, scanning the crowd before gesturing to himself with a hand. "I care about my people. I don't want to march into the line of fire because I want to play My Dick is Bigger Than Yours." He remarked again, becoming amused by his own words. He paused for a moment before saying, "It is. We both know that."

"But I'm also comfortable admitting if it isn't. I'm certainly not going to let my people die over that shit." Negan continued, pointing Lucille toward Rick behind the metal while remaining on the top of his lowered staircase with his trusted members. "Like you're about to." Rick then began to speak, trying to negotiate with Negan.
