As they finished breakfast, Max offered to do the dishes in return for letting him stay with them. Zach and Victoria headed upstairs to check the Internet for latest news.

"So – Where is Ben and Max sleeping – Are they going to share that room downstairs?" Victoria asked

"Yeah – It was my mum's old room" replied Zach

"Ok – Is there a computer downstairs in that room also?" she asked

"Yeah – It was my mum's"

"Okay – you said when I get here that there was three bodies in that room next door – who are they?"

"My Mother, My Sisters Girlfriend, My Mother's boyfriend and now – My Sister – well they were in there I moved them into a shed outside" said Zach "I'm going to clean that room back up – I'm leaving the window open for air to circulate. It smells like shit in there" he added

"Okay"

Zach turned to his computer.

"Latest news is: Wow, They've managed to clean out 20 states of America already, Also the South Island is cleared"

(New Zealand, is split into two islands, North Island and South Island. But the islands are close to make them one country)

"Shit – I bet there starting on the north island now?" she said impressed that the South Island had already been cleared.

"Yep, that's second on the military's list, then they're going to help overseas" said Zach also impressed.

Zach gave a small whine of pain, he looked at his arm, his scratch had gone a purple colour.

(Color – American, Colour – Everywhere else)

Victoria looked at his arm. Zach looked at her, saw her face turned towards the scratch, he moved it away from her vision and muttered something like "It's just a scratch!" Victoria couldn't help but cry, a silent tear ran down her face. Zach looked at her, he saw the tear fall from her beautiful face on to the carpet below.

"Hey – hey" He put his unscratched arm around her and pulled her in for a hug. She leant into him, this time she let her emotions take the better of her and started crying loudly on Zach's shoulder. Zach rubbed her back with his hand, trying to sooth her.

"I – I – Don't – Want – You – To – Become – One – Of – Them" she sobbed loudly

"I won't - I'll make sure of it" Zach replied
