[ Michonne nods and that's it. She's never lied to him before, never kept anything from him. It took her a while, but she opened up, eventually. Judith very obviously couldn't have been hers, but he never asked, he let her tell him, and it went a long way.
They're done and Michonne reaches out to clap him on the shoulder. ]
Judith said it was your turn to tell her a story tonight, I'm gonna find Jackie and talk to her before turning in. See you in the morning.
[ She isn't going far, just to the back of the store into a stock room where Jackie's set up. The kids are all there, sitting quietly and staring up at her when she walks in. Michonne smiles at first, but when they don't smile back, it becomes unnerving and she frowns at them, questioning aloud. ]
Where's Jackie?
[ They don't respond, but as she looks at their faces, one pair of eyes looks to the right. Just as Michonne turns to see Jackie, she's hit hard right between the eyes and everything goes black. For a few seconds she struggles to hold onto lucidity, hearing Jackie prop the backdoor open, instructing the oldest to lead the youngest out. As her hands are being tied, she loses consciousness completely, the pain in her head overwhelming.
The next time she wakes, it's because of searing pain in her lower back competing with her head. She's strapped to a table; to her left, medical instruments that don't look like anything she'd want cutting into her. Her movement causes Jackie to appear, staring down at her.
I heard you and Amos. You wanted to keep my kids? You don't deserve the one you have, you sure as hell don't deserve another.
It becomes clear in that moment what Jackie's going to do, and Michonne begins to struggle, trying to get loose, only to agitate whatever wound on her back is fresh. It's agony and she screams behind a gag before going still, sweating.
Don't worry, we'll go back for Judith and I'll raise her right.
Jackie walks out of the small room, and Michonne tries to scream after her. At the very least, she knows Amos won't let Jackie get anywhere close to Judith, so she can focus on herself and getting free. But she can't figure out a way to do it, the pain she's in almost causes her to black out again, and her hands and feet are still strapped down.
She refuses to die this way, and all she can do is try to bargain.
Outside of the old warehouse Jackie has taken Michonne and the kids to, the oldest children act as guards with guns, instructed to shoot to kill. The younger kids have knives waiting and hiding inside, while Jackie prepares to forcefully take Michonne's baby in the deepest interior room. ]
