"Where are we." I ask looking over to Niall who was driving.

"Ah, she speaks." He said laughing.

I look at him waiting for him to answer. "We are in, uhm, ask Mikey." He said chuckling.

I look over to a sleeping Michael and tap his shoulder, "What?" He grumbles out.

"Where are we?" I ask him.

"I don't know." He said shrugging his shoulders. "Can I go back to sleep?"

"No." I said smiling and putting my head on his shoulder.

"Are you okay now?" Michael asked looking down at me.

"What do you mean?"

"You don't remember?" He asked, worry in his voice.

"Should I?" I ask sitting back up.

"Audrey, what happened the last two days?" Niall asked me.

"I drove then-" I start to think, "Hmm, I really don't know. Why what happened?" I asked looking at him.

"Nothing." He answers concentrating back on the road.

"You drove, then fell asleep." Michael fills in.

"Oh, well yeah I'm fine." I shrug my shoulders and put my head back down.

"How much longer are we going to be driving?" I ask yawning slightly.

"Liam said until we get there. Unless you need to take a break?" Niall said looking at me.

"No I'm good." I said staring at the road.

"What else do you know about Project Run?" I ask Niall.

"All that I told you pretty much."

"Do you think Fort Benning is going to have the answers we need?" I ask.

"Well, I don't know, but it's the best shot we have." Niall says looking at the road.

"Why?"

"Well, that's the base your sister was going. Along with the others."

"So?"

"They probably are working on some kind of antigen to reverse the virus, or something." Niall clears his throat.

"Someone paid attention in school." Michael teased.

"A little." Niall said shrugging

"Do you think Tess is there?" I ask sitting up from Michael's shoulder.

"Uhm-" Niall said shrugging.

"Of course. Where else would she be." Mikey finishes smiling and pulling me back to him.

I hear a ringing sound, like a phone going off. "Did you hear that?" I ask looking around.

"Hear what?" Niall asked looking at me.

"It sounded like a phone going off." I said continuing to look around.

"It could still be your ears ringing, mine do that from time to time." Michael says with his lips pressed into a thin line.

"That would explain it." I say putting my head back down on his shoulder. After a while of silence I bring up something that takes them back, "What do you think when you see the dead?"

"Uhm what?" Michael looks at me up and down worried.

"What do you think when you see them?" I ask looking at the road.

"I see dead people." Niall says not wanting to continue the subject.

I look up at Michael and hold his arm. "What do you think?" I asked.

"Fine. I'll play," Mikey said giving in, "I think about what their life could be, if whatever happened never happened."

"Like?" I said sitting up straight and looking at him.

"Uh," he clears his throat, "that one," he said pointing to a random man on the street who was dressed in a blue suit," he was going to a meeting that could make or break his career. He was married with two kids and didn't pay enough attention to them, he loved his job more than them. Him and his wife got into a fight-"

"Michael." Niall says making him stop.

"No I want to hear more." I said looking at him.

"No, you should go to sleep. You are driving next." Michael said touching the tip of my nose with his finger and kissing my forehead.
