Rita POV

Rita just sits there against the pillow. She can't believe she slipped up about the brains. She is Rita du Clark, she doesn't slip up. But it was hard not to slip up when all she could think about was Liv's pale hand around her throat and her other hand in her hair.

Liv stares at her and Rita knows that she can't just sit there forever. She tries not to look disappointed when Liv puts her shirt back on.

"I..." she starts but stops. If Vaughn saw how speechless she is he would surely disinherit her.

"Tell me." Liv pushes out. Rita can tell that Liv was barely containing her anger.

"Major works at Max Rager." She begins.

"I know, personal trainer." Liv's nose twitches. Rita can tell that this bothers Liv. If this bothers Liv she may not survive the information she tells her next.

"Yes, he is the personal trainer of Vaughn du Clark... I'm Vaughn's daughter."

Liv's mouth opens wide and then she closes it. Slowly she takes a tentative step backwards.

"No...no, no, no..." Liv says.

"I'm sorry."

"No you're not. Vaughn sent you here to spy on me. He knows about zombies and he knows I'm one of them. Does he spy on every single zombie?!"

"No."

"Why me?!"

"You were getting too close to...stuff. You work with the police."

"That son of a bitch."

Rita doesn't flinch. Liv is right about calling him that. She calls him that sometimes.

Liv stares at her but then her eyes widen.

"What role does Major have in all this? Why did you sleep with him? Was it just because of his looks or...?" Liv asks tentatively. Rita can see the fear in her eyes and wishes she hadn't asked that question.

"It might be better if you don't know."

"Why are you even telling me all these things?"

At that Rita looks away. Liv was right, she shouldn't be telling her anything yet the words flow out of her mouth so easily. If she didn't know better she would think Liv had put a spell on her.

"Because you deserve to know."

Liv smirks but there's no joking in it.

"Yeah, I do...How could you?" Liv asks quietly. Rita can see that Liv is on the brink of tears. She isn't sure if it is the betrayal of her as a roommate or the betrayal of letting things go this far, all the way to bed.

"I...I can't do this." Rita finally says and gets up to walk over to the tall window. She stands in front of it and lets the breeze wash over her and wake her up from this strange dream or nightmare.

"You betrayed me."

Rita swallows. It's like an invisible slap on her face.

"Yes."

"I suppose it's in your blood." Liv says angrily.

"Don't compare me to my father."

"You and Vaughn are no different." Liv nearly yells.

"Maybe." Rita replies looking down at her hands. She suddenly has the need to wash off anything that shows how much she's Vaughn's daughter.

A tear is nearing the surface of Rita's eyes and she pushes it away.

"Why do you care? So I slept with your fiancé. It's not like you were treating him well anyways. And he's even worse. He's lying to you and I know you can feel it. And you let him. You deserve better than that." Rita snaps, turns around to face the zombie and yells at her. Liv's eyes widen.

It's Liv's turn to stumble. "I...I don't care. I mean I do...You have no idea what it's like to have a brain's personality intruding in on you!"

There's silence.

"How do you know that he's lying about something?" Liv asks dangerously.

Rita sighs. She slipped up again. Maybe she had nothing more to lose, might as well come out with all of the truth. Well, nearly all. Right now she just wants Liv to see that her beloved Major isn't perfect. Why? That she'd rather not think about.

"Because Vaughn is the one making him lie."

"About?" Liv asks with her jaw tightening.

"He's the Chaos Killer."

"No."

"He has special 'tracking' abilities for zombies and Vaughn is using that to eliminate people from a list of potential zombies."

"He wouldn't agree to this."

"He doesn't have much choice. Vaughn threatened to take you out first if he didn't do it."

Liv's eyes close.

"He wouldn't protect me by killing hundreds of innocents. You're lying."

"People do strange things for the people they care about." Rita looks down.

"I can't deal with this right now." Liv says backing up towards the door.

"Wait." Rita walks towards Liv and reaches out to grab her arm before she can think better of it.

"Let go of me." Liv says angrily.

Rita lets go.

"You were right. You aren't the same as Vaughn...You're worse than him." Liv says with her voice cracking and walks out the door.
