First contact with the hospital

"I need a doctor, help!" 

Airon closed his eyes trying to keep his patience as he saw how Merle was acting beside him, he thought at first not to bring him at least when they were about to have the initial conversations with these people, but it always takes someone out of the blue to distract the adversary. 

"Ah damn, isn't this supposed to be a public hospital? Help, I feel really high..." Merle de held on to a metal shark while sticking his tongue out between the open spaces of the door. 

Bob, who was on his right side, looked at Merle as if he was actually sick. Truth be told, who wasn't crazy these days with walkers roaming the streets? 

"Auge!" 

At that moment, some time after Airon spoke and Merle started screaming, Dawn ran out of the front door of the hospital, a little less than a dozen policemen came out at once following her, and in an instant almost ten policemen raised their guns as they looked at a man sticking out his tongue like a dog, a black-skinned man with a somewhat embarrassed expression and a man with his eyes closed, all of them standing in front of the outer door. 

At first glance, the man with closed eyes was the most serene and calm of them all, so they immediately knew that this was the leader of the trio. When this man opened his eyes, he looked at the policemen pointing at him and there was no trace of tension in his indifferent eyes. "Oh! Quiet officers, it seems I should introduce myself in this situation? I'm Airon, commander of the army operating in Atlanta! Come on, no need to be so nervous, am I not calm enough?" 

Dawn looked at Airon, her eyes roamed over the uniform that only seemed to be in the hands of the military nowadays, but she didn't want to show happiness at meeting someone from the army, so she first turned her gaze to the people behind her and then slowly walked towards that man named Airon. 

"Oh yeah, we can get into a much deeper relationship!" Merle stepped to the side and looked at Dawn with a cynical smile.

Airon's eyes jumped as he pictured Merle with this policewoman, this would definitely be a somewhat explosive relationship. Thinking no more of nonsense, he paid no attention to Merle's words and looked at Dawn intently. 

There was no hesitation on Dawn's face. Walking in front of three men posing as the army, she could only hear Merle's annoyed words off to the side, but she didn't want to act rashly before without verifying the identity of the other party, so her tone was respectful and somewhat doubtful.

"Are they really from the army?" Diverting her gaze to Merle, who the latter smiled at him while showing his yellowed teeth, she turned to Airon and asked, "How could you tell that what they say is real?" 

"From your uniform I must assume you are a police officer, and since we are now talking I must also assume you are the one in charge of keeping this place safe along with the people below you..." Airon pointed to the other police officers and then saluted, "Am I correct?" 

Dawn looked at Airon in silence, she must admit that this man is very observant and seems to always appear to be in control, so this time she took a step back and remarked, "My apologies commander, my name is Dawn Lerner, I never thought there could be such a young commander." 

Hearing these insinuations, Airon smiled modestly and noted, "Well, with the chain of command down someone had to take control of the situation, right now we are taking back the areas around Atlanta..." 

This time Airon was in no hurry to enter the hospital, his words were clear and were at all times within the role of a commander. Even so, he is clearly a commander of his armed forces, at the same time that he is also the leader of the S.C.T. community. 

"You must be somewhat confused, I heard that the largest hospital in Atlanta and Georgia had been left at the hands of some cops, my people plan to take over the area around this place considering the large and comprehensive facilities of this place." 

"But that we shouldn't talk about it in this place shouldn't we, we bring you some food and basic supplies so you can recover while we talk about what will happen next." 

After saying that, under everyone's observation he signaled for everyone to come with him. With some hesitation, a group of people walked beside Airon and his people before he looked at Bob. Understanding what Airon was saying, Bob took a step forward and knocked on a hatch next to the modified RV, with a noise this hatch opened and revealed the space inside. 

There was all kinds of food, medicine and water, all of these items were found on their way to this place. They had their own supplies so there was no problem giving this to the people at the hospital, after all those people will become members of the S.C.T. community. 

Several policemen who had come over to watch were stunned, all of them wanted to step forward and take all these things. These basic supplies were after all something they needed badly, they had known for a while that supplies in Atlanta were getting harder and harder to come by. This stockpile of food they were seeing would not hurt them at all. 

Airon, who had seen the behavior of all these people, easily noticed the glint of greed in their eyes. This was normal for any survivor nowadays, so he didn't mind too much and then said a few words. 

"For now, you can go take these supplies as support from us. If you are in this place you should have noticed that not far away a shelter is settling, all of them are from my community that right now we protect and we are not lacking any of the basic necessities." 

"Walkers!" 

Hearing this, Airon looked off into the distance as a walker approached with slow and steady steps. When he saw the nervous look on people's faces, he extended his hand and pointed to the walker not far from their position. 

The group of policemen thought the other party was just making strange movements, but the next moment, the walker's head exploded and a mist of dark blood spewed out. 

At that moment, when the police heard the gunshot echoing between the buildings, they were all shocked and quickly lowered their heads while looking at the surrounding buildings, trying to find the sound of the gunshot, but their attempts were in vain. 

"Bang!"

"Wow, what a fucking good shot." Merle looked at the policemen with a smile and when they themselves looked at Airon, there was clear fear in their eyes. 

On the other hand, Airon pressed a button on his chest and said, "Nice shot Liam, you did good!" 

"It was Sasha, sir..." 

He must say Sasha is a fast learner, under Jon and Liam's guidance she would become a good sniper. When he looked at the upset policemen, he held up his hands and calmed these people down. "Well, we've been standing in this place for a while, isn't it better to talk inside the hospital while you people take these supplies?" 

Unlike the others, Dawn's face is grim and frightened at this point. To her, replenishing supplies is not important at all! The people in front of her are definitely military and she still doubts whether they are the good guys or bad guys. 

"You're right, staying outside for a long time can be a bit tiring, let's go inside." Dawn said after some thought. 

"We'll follow Dawn, we'll keep an eye out for your needs." Airon stepped forward and Merle along with Bob followed at his side. 

The policemen on their side walked towards the open space with the supplies on display and then saw Glenn who was wearing sunglasses looking at them with a smile. When they saw this man, they also smiled and waved before going back to their work. 

At that moment, a building hundreds of meters away from where Airon's group was, led this time by Daryl, they started to move after they saw that the group did not suffer any attack. 

According to the plan, they were now to meet with Glenn and wait for the next movements of these people ready to provide support to the group in case they needed help. 

Some people quickly went through some buildings and arrived at the side of the modified RV while the others were clearing the walkers that had approached. 

"Is everyone okay, I just heard gunshots!" Tyreese who was on top of the modified RV stood up to look at his companions. 

Sasha shook her head, patted her brother and said, "We're fine, we didn't get hurt!" 

Just as the group was reassembling to await Airo's next orders, the trio had already entered the hospital. 

Airon, who was following Officer Dawn, was looking all around. At every step he took, he looked at what was going on around him and from time to time he saluted people when they heard that they were military. 

Dawn, who didn't want to lose control, quickened her pace but no matter when she insisted on picking up the pace, the trio of men didn't follow her "Here, here you go! A big lollipop of candy, you can have it." 

"Thanks grandpa..." Murmured a mystic girl looking at Merle with teary eyes. 

"Hmm..." Merle snorted when they called him grandpa. 

Finally arriving at a room similar to a conference room, Dawn opened the door to find a patient in a hospital gown cleaning the room. 

She looked at the patient, then jerked her head out of the room to signal her to quickly leave the room. The woman understood and took the tools from the ground and went out. As she passed by everyone, she looked at Airon with surprise, these were soldiers, but then she looked at the policemen and left without saying anything.

Seeing her wasting her time, Dawn couldn't help but scold her loudly, "Listen to me! Why are you wasting our time?"
