disclaimer: I'm disappointed that I do not own z nation or its characters except for the OC's

"Again with this..." 13 spoke sighing not wanting to hold onto the side of the car anymore so they sat on the engine, all the others walked back to the dump of the car. 10k sat next to him.

Slaughter climbs onto the roof and watched 13 closely, couldnt uelp feeling a bit lonely but she was glad 13 was making friends
10k sat beside 13 holding onto his gun as the others got in and they drove off

13 was a little embarrassed at the fact him and 10K were sitting basically ontop of each other, the young boy held tightly on to his rifle.

Slaughter smiled softly at 13 as she watched before she looks up at the sky and watched as it turned darker,
garnett smirked and watched 10k and 13.

The group drove up the Street more too see the family getting eaten by Zs, 13 immediately pulled out his slingshot and killed the 9 Zs. "1,395." He whispered standing up out of the engine bay.

"Looks like we get our truck back..."addy said smiling happily as she runs over to it...slaughter goes over to the truck and climbs i to the back of it and sits against the door of the back waiting for the other
Mack climbs in with addy and slaughter.

"We need to get off this road." Garnett said getting into the drivers side of the car, as they drove they found an old drive through. "Guys stop here let's see if I can try to reach citizen Z." Addy spoke as Garnett started to pull up to it.

Garnett nods and pulls over
"Whos citizen Z?"Slaughter asked curiously.

"Someone who can help us." Addy spoke getting out of the truck, 13 followed. "A-addy I can help..." He spoke walking over with addy as the others got out of the car.

Slaughter goes over and stands near the drive thru machine.

After a good couple of hours they finally get to Citizen Z, Addy made 10k and 13 hold up the satellite.

10k and 13s hands were touching as they held up the satellite
Slaughter sat against a pole and shook her head from mild dizziness

Addy started talking to Citizen Z and they were told that there was a helicopter on an army base. They all got back into the car and started to drive off to the army base.

Slaughter groans quietly as she closed her eyes and leanz her head agaibst the edge of the truck the cool metal feeling nice on her skin
10k was polishing his gun barrel.

"Slaughter you okay?!" 13 asked moving away from 10k and over too his friend. They were almost to the army base.

Slaughter nods "y...yeah...im fine..."she said as she tries to stand but stumbles and falls off of the truck.

"Shit." 13 yelled jumping out and ran over to them. "Come on please be okay." 13 spoke hugging the older teen tightly. Warren stopped the car when Addy and 10k yelled at them to stop.

Slaughter had passed out due to a fever which was caused by sleep deprivation and high stress levels her breathing was un even
Addy and 10k ran over to them "what happened?!" They cried out together

"T-t-they have a fever..." 13 spoke pulling slaughter closer to him hugging her to his chest, he hugged her tighter crying quietly.

"Come on...lets get her back intor the truck..." 10k said as he went to gently take slaughter not knowing if the putcome.

13 shook his head. "10k you need to get my bag please I have medicine that will help please." 13 said hugging her tighter.

10k nods and grabs 13's bag and ran back over to them after telling warren too come over with the others, Slaughter was panting and was sweating.

13 grabbed his bag and got out the pills and shoved them into her mouth. "Please be okay..." 13 spoke crying putting his head on her chest crying.

Slaughter soon started to calm down as she fell into a dreamless sleep
"Come on...we should get going..." warren said "sit her in the back seats with murphy and cassandra, so we can meep a better eye on her.

13 nodded and picked her up and walked back to the truck, putting her into the back seat. "I'll look after her, I promise nothing will happen." Cassandra spoke getting into the car, 13 just nodded and hopped into the back with Mack, Addy, Doc and 10K.

Addy looks over at 13 "dude...she'll be okay..." she said as she sat infront of him.

"I'm sorry she's like my older sister, I love her..." 13 spoke wiping the rest of the tears away

Slaughter groans "k... Kai?" She says softly forgetting to call him 13.

13 looked into the truck and opened the back window. "Yes? Are you okay?" He asked looking at her.

"It hurts..." she whimpers holding her head tightly as she squeazed her eyes shut.

"H-hey it will be okay just take these and go to sleep..." 13 spoke handing her some very strong pain killers. 13 sat back down and sighed.

She took the pain killers and fell back asleep. "You seem to what to do...has this happened before?" 10k asked as he watched 13.

"Yeah it has, she doesn't sleep enough..." 13 spoke looking at 10k hugging his gun.

"Why doesnt she sleep enough..." he enquiered scooching closer to 13.

"She stays up to make sure I'm okay..." 13 said sighing, doc just looked at him.

"What did you give to her?" Doc asked watching as 13 put the bag of pain killers into his bag.

"Just some really strong pain killers..." He said looking down as the truck came to a stop meaning that they had arrived at the ex military base

Warren got out of the car and walks and opens the back "someone has to stay down here until we have the chopper..." she said as she looks at the others

"10k and I will, I need someone to help with with her." 13 spoke standing up with 10k by his side, all the others agreed and go off to the guard that was watching them closely.

Addy walks beaide mack "do you think they'll steal truck?" She asked with a small laugh. Slaughter slowly started to calm down.

"No 10ks with them it will be okay." Mack spoke as Doc was told to go into the building. After hearing them screaming and Garnett forced the guard to let them in.

Addy nods and they walk into the elevator once they were let in
10k was sitting on the roof of the car

13 sighed and looked at 10k. "Looks like we got to watch out for Zs here." 13 spoke using their sling shot to get ready to kill some Zs.

10k killed some zs that were approaching them and tallied them off in his head before watching 13.

13 whispered numbers as he killed them. "So... Anything to talk about..?" He asked looking at 10k.

"Why did you head up to Philly..." 10k asked as he watched 13k "that place is a z town...nothing left there..."

"We were looking for one of my friends who went missing a while ago but then it turned out that she turned... Even though I hated Connie she was my best friend... At least I got to mercy her not like the others..." 13 spoke softly and spoke even softer when it got too talking about all the others.

10k jumped down beside 13 and looked at him "im sorry...you dont have to tell me if it makes you upset..."

"No it's okay, I just get really upset cause I have knew those people for over 10 years..." 13 spoke sighing and looking at 10k.

10k looked sadly at 13 "still...im sorry...if you want we can talk about something else..." he said.

"It's okay really, I just miss them I mean they help me a lot back in Australia." 13 spoke smiling sadly remembering all the good times

"Your from australia?" He asked a bit surprised at this.

"Yeah my mixed martial arts gym were over here for a tournament when it broke out." 13 sighed remembering the day that this all started.

"Ahhh man im sorry about that..."he said rubbing the back of his neck.

"No it's okay..." The two kept talking until the group walked out without Doc. "Um where's Doc?" Both 10K and 13 asked looking at them.

"Doc...didnt make it..." Warren said sadly as she looks up at 10k.

Both 13 and 10k were in shock neither of them spoke, Garnett pointed out that there were Zs someone closer. Warren pulled out her gun. "Doc I give you mercy." She spoke and shot the gun, missing, doc just looked at her.

"What you trying to kill me warren?"

"We thought you were dead."

"I thought so too, now get me a kiss." He said walking over to us as he was thrown a towel.

Everyone laughed at doc as hebsaid that ,10k looked relieved as he sat down on the back of the truck.

13 smiled even though he hadn't known Doc they long he felt a lot like his father, everyone got into the truck and they started heading off.

Doc sits between 10k and 13 as he continues to wipe blood off of him and yawns "damn."

Cassandra looks over into the back " we were gone for several hours...what the hell did you gove her?" She asked 13

"You haven't been gone hours and I had to do what I had to do." 13 spoke watching Cassandra looking over Slaughter who was still asleep.

Cassandra nods and looks out the window, If it weren't for her breathing most would think that she is dead.
