•••{Corey's POV}•••

Des Moines, Iowa

These niggas ask a lot of questions. Like A LOT. And I get it, stranger you're traveling with, suspicious, gotta get to know them, all that shit. But they just keep throwing them at me like dang. Maybe I should start asking questions cause it feels like they know everything about me but I know nothing of them, or of where we're going.

"Can you guys uh, tell me about the place we're going to?" I asked making the girl, Taylor, turn back to me since the guy was driving. We slept for the night, taking turns to watch but I think none of us actually slept out of skepticism of each other. At least I didn't, not when I had Juno. I had to keep her safe.

"Yea. It's like plains up there. Lots of space to build and stuff. Y'know we came from a community. More out east, I cant remember what state it was. I'm not good with maps, he is," she nodded to Louis who was still focused on driving, then looked back to me and continued, "but he's teaching me how to work it. In case I get lost."

I nodded as I looked out the window patting Juno's butt as she napped. Seven was lying behind the driver's seat, panting with squinted eyes. We should probably take a bathroom break soon.

"What happened to your community? Why'd you leave?" I asked. It seemed weird to leave a community where you could rely on each other. Unless it was overtook by zombies.

This time, Louis spoke.

"Hmm. Well, it was a nice community, but it was governed by some assholes who liked to keep shit to themselves. We knew they had the stuff we need, like medicine, perishables. We had people go out and raid factories for them, but they acted like they couldn't find shit. It was stupid. And it one day backfired on them..." Louis said in a gruff, resentful tone. I tilted my head at that. Backfired?

"What do you mean?"

"That fuckwad got what was coming to him. Some group of people were fed up with the unfair rationing, so they, not us, but they tried to kill the guy and his subordinates. And it..kinda work? We didn't stick around to find out because people were quick to pick their sides and a little war broke out. There were about 80 of us living there, and more people were gonna keep coming. We left so we didn't know who won, but I hope the group one," Taylor said looking out the window. "I gotta pee, can we stop?"

"What? But we just-.." Louis tried to speak.

"I gotta piss too, can we..?" I asked.

Louis looked at both of us, then at the sky, checking out daylight, then sighed nodding his head as he pulled over. "Ten minutes." Ten? Nigga when I'm done I'm done...lemme stop before they leave me. I had to wake up Juno to pee as well.
