Can't believe I have already done 10 chaptees. I was originally planning on this story only being 10 chapters, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Lol. Sorry this chapter is a bit shorter than the rest.

Regan wakes up to the smell of something wonderful smelling and looks over to see Tyson making fried peaches. "That smells heavenly."

Tyson laughed. I'm pretty sure now a days anything cooked smells heavenly." He smiles at Ray when he enters the room.

"Well you seem chipper this morning." He sat down, eager to try these fried peaches.

"I am. For once, things seem to be going well for us. And I think that I'll take you up on that offer of joining you. If you'll still have us , that is." He mainly looks over to Regan, knowing she has her doubts about them. "Besides, I know I can trust you guys. You saved my brothers life which speaks wonders in this world."

Regan sighs. "Yah. You're right. I would be glad to have the two of you travel with us." Tyson's face lit up bright.

"Would you mind getting Hiro up? He will be glad to hear this news. And I think he is a bit infatuated with you." They both laugh.

Regan goes over and opens the door. "Hey Hiro, breakfast is ready is you want to eat. Oh, you're already up." She sees Hiro standing their not really moving much and murmuring to himself. "Are you okay?" He twitches as she steps closer. "Hiro?" She reaches towards him. At that same time he turns around with clusters growing on his face, eyed glazed, and screams as he launches at her. Regan stumbles back "Ray!" She tries to keep him from biting her but she trips and falls through the door into the view of Tyson and Ray.

"Oh shit! He's infected!" Ray runs over and rummaged through his bag to grab his gun. As he pulls it out, a shot is fired close to his hand. "The hell are you doing?"

Tyson has the gun pointed at him. "No, what the hell are you doing? That's my brother!" He has tears running down his face.

Ray doesn't have much time to try and figure out how to get out of this. "Screw it." He lifts up his gun about to shoot Hiro, when a bullet flies through the infected brothers head.

Tyson's gun chatters to the ground followed by him collapsing in his knees.

Ray goes over to Regan and pulls her out from underneath Hiro's dead body. "Are you okay?" She nods scared and clutches onto Ray.

"This is your fault." Tyson says softly. "This is all your fault." He picks up his gun and points it first and Regan then at Ray.

Ray stands in front of Regan. "Hey, now let's talk about this. This is no one's fault."

Tyson stuggles internally with himself. "He was supposed to make it. It's your fault. It's your fault." He turns the gun on himself and pulls the trigger.

"Oh my god." Regan gasps.

Kai and Aubrey were driving a few hours in silence, when Aubrey, who just can't help herself, broke the silence. "So I kind of stole something from Kenny's. I thought that you might like it and since radio no longer exists…" pulls out a cassette tape. "I thought maybe we could listen to this." Waves it in front of him. "Does it make you all nostalgic?"

"Um I'll have you know that those were before my time. And how old do you think I am?" Kai looks over at her.

She shrugs. "I don't know. I was only 5 when it all went down."

"Yah well I was only 10. We're born in the same generation. Put the damn thing in." She laughs at how angry he got for calling him old and sticks it in and presses play. What cam out was good ol' classical music.

"Um… I'm sure that this was popular at one time."

"Yah like the 1800s. Kenny is crazy about his music." He shakes his head.

"So where are we going?"

"Jackson, Wyoming. I know someone out there who used to work for the fireflies. He could tell us exactly where we need to go. Maybe stretch our legs a bit too." He adjusts himself, trying to get comfortable for the long car ride.

"How do you know the people out there will help us?"

"There's a guy I used to know a few years back. He's trustworthy. I know it's hard to believe but I would actually trust him with my life if it came down to it."

She yawns. "Well I trust you and your judgement. Since this is going to be a long drive, I'm gonna catch some 'z's. Wake me up if you need anything." She rests her head on the door frame.

"Sleep well. I'll wake you up when we get gas." She was out before he could say that.
