passenger side window. She quickly darts back out and runs back to the car with our bag in her hand. She slings the door open and jumps in.
    “See no biggy,” she says tossing the bag back to me. I quickly catch it before it hits Emily. “Hey watch it!” I scold.
    “Sorry. I forgot she was back there, she is so quiet,” Liv says.
    “What is in that bag that was so important that you had to risk your life for?” Tony asks Liv with bitterness in his voice.
    “You didn’t seem to mind me risking my life back at the apartments while that leech’s hands were all over you,” Liv snaps.
    “Oh give me a break Liv!” he says rolling his eyes. “She was scared!”
    “And that makes it okay for her to be on you like white on rice?” She barks back and slams her foot on the gas pedal, making us all jerk back in our seats as the car accelerates.
    “Liv you know you are the only one for me. She was just scared that was it. If you weren’t such a hot head you would see that,” he says in a much calmer, sweeter voice.
    She cuts her eyes at him then back at the road. “Whatever Tony.”
    Becky is sitting back here with a shit eating grin on her face like she likes the fact that they are arguing. I jab her with my elbow.
    “Ouch!” She yells.
    “Oh my bad,” I apologize with a devious smirk on my face.
    She just rolls her eyes and looks out of the window.
     
     

Chapter Six
    Olivia
    We drive in silence for the next several miles passing town after town. Each one filled with more flesh eaters than the next. Finally after what seems like endless hours of driving I spot a parking deck in one of the many cities we have went through.
    I whisper to Tony, who is the only one left awake with me. “Do you think that will be a good spot to stop  and get some rest?” I ask.
    “Sure just pull to the very top. Less of those things up there I am sure.”
    “Okay,” I agree as I pull in.
    I look around and surprisingly it is deserted. Not a car or eater in sight. I make my way up the loops and curves until we reach the top. I park as close to the exit as possible, killing the ignition. I hit the lock button and hear the click of the locks. I recline my seat back as much as I can without hitting Wil in the knees. I close my eyes and start to drift off to sleep hoping this day will all just be a very bad dream.
    “Liv I am glad you are safe.” Tony’s admission makes me open my eyes and look at him.
    “Are you? Cause it looked like bimbo was keeping you pretty occupied.”
    He reaches over taking my hand. “Babe I swear nothing happened with her. She came banging on our door begging for help. And you know Dev he was always the helping type. So he let her in.”
    I look at him. “Why didn’t you want to go with Devin? You knew Wil was with me. Did you not think to come check on me like I did you?”
    “God Liv! You were the first thing on my mind. But I didn’t want to leave with a half ass plan. I wanted a real plan before going out in this.”
    “We didn’t have a plan. All we thought about was making it to you and Dev.” I turn my head looking out the window not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry.
    He reaches over and gently pulls my face toward him, making me look at him again.
    “Babe look at me. Why are you crying?” he asks, running his thumb over my cheek wiping away the tears that have fallen.
    “I…I don’t know maybe it is the fact that I had to kill one of my best friends today or the fact that I had to explain to a five year old that her mommy didn’t try to kill her or maybe just maybe it is the fact that I think you have a thing for Ms. Sex on legs back there.” I nod my head to the back seat to where Becky is.
    “You had to kill Devin?” The shock in his voice makes new tears form in my eyes
    “Yeah he was going straight toward Willow and I knew she couldn’t do it so I had to.” Tears are now streaming down my face.
    He pulls me over into his lap and into a hug and I let
