[ Beth hadn't killed anyone else on her way out, managing to navigate herself out of the building without being seen by sneaking and hiding in the shadows. But by the time she's outside to join Rick and the others, some of Negan's men have gathered to stop them. They don't know Negan is dead yet, but they don't need orders from him to shoot at Rick's group. Beth ducks behind the nearest cover she can find, eyeing the getaway car nearby.

Beth knows they need to take out the men as quickly as possible before others come. The rest of the group Rick brought with him seem to be armed as well and Beth joins in on shooting at them, managing to shoot one down. She can feel Daryl's shocked eyes on her when it happens, but there's no time for Beth to shoot him a smirk that says I told you so. She told him she could look after herself. ]

Rick, behind you! [ She calls out as a warning when she spots a Savior about to attack Rick with his bare hands. ]

[ Blood and screams painted everywhere as Rick made it outside and closer towards the car they needed to use on their way out and back towards Alexandria. Leaving wouldn't be the end of things, of course, not once they discovered Negan dead. If they worked quickly they could hopefully put Dwight in power and take out anyone else who opposed such a thing. Bringing all the communities together to work and survive.

The chaotic scene before him shouldn't have surprise him and yet. Rushing forward, he just barely heard Beth's voice screaming out the warning. He managed to turn quickly enough to push at the guy but he swiped at his legs and Rick went down hard. The wind knocked out of him but he rolled over to pin the guy and stab at his throat with a nearby pipe. Blood covered him from the incident and he stumbled back to his feet, shooting and pushing everyone towards the car. ]

Beth, you drive! We got to get out of here.

[ Beth watched with panic as Rick went down, wanting to rush towards him to help but feeling herself being pulled back by Rosita. ] Rick!

[ Luckily he recovers quickly and takes out the man who attacked him, Beth breathing a sigh of relief. If he'd died during that moment, she would have never forgiven herself.

Following Rick's instructions, she doesn't need to be told twice to drive. She flings herself into the driver's seat and once everyone is in - regardless of whether doors have been closed - Beth slams her foot on the gas. A gunshot narrowly misses her head, breaking the passenger window, but they manage to get away. She has no idea where she's going but Rosita gives her directions back to the Alexandria safe-zone. She drives fast and won't slow down until someone tells her to, even if they're a safe distance away from the sanctuary. She just wants to be home. She just wants to jump in a shower and wash herself clean again. ]

[ Flinging himself into the passengers seat, Rick managed to shut the door before Beth took off back to Alexandria. There were so many things to go over and his mind kept bouncing around to each and every one of them. What would they do without Negan in the source of power for the saviors? Without the overbearing cruelty? They needed to act quickly, of course, to place Dwight in power but first they needed to regroup.

His fingertips reached out to touch Beth's wrist. ]

You're okay, Beth, we all are.

[ He voiced, twisting his body around to check and make sure everyone made it into the vehicle. ]

First thing is gettin' clean. After that we got some meetings to have.
