Don't Leave- 10k - Z Nation -

1.1

Cassia's eyes fluttered open and panic set in. She bolted up from where she was laying and looked around the bed of the truck for Addy or 10k.

"Hey your okay." 10k said kneeling down next her.

"You got shot pretty badly. Lost a lot of blood, almost died." He said looking down at her with glossy eyes.

"Hey I won't ever leave you okay." She whispered placing a hand on his cheek and kissing him.

The truck slowed to a stop and Cassia groaned getting out of the truck with the help of 10k.

"Cass!" Addy yelled running to Cassia and hugging her tight and Cassia half winced half laughed.

"Great now you guys know my name. Thanks 10k." She said turning to glare at him.

"Addy and I are gonna go scout ahead for gas." Mack said grabbing Addy and pulling her toward the motorcycle in front of the truck.

"Be safe." Cassia whispered pulling Addy back out of Mack's grip into a hug.

"Always." Addy said kissing Cassia's forehead.

Addy had become an older sister to Cassia over the past couple months. And they were inseparable.

Cassia nodded and walked over to the car where Warren sat with the window down.

"Hey." Cassia whispered and Warren just shrugged her off.

"It's gonna be okay. It gets better." Cassia whispered giving Warrens hand a squeeze and hopping in the passengers side next to 10k who had managed to get the truck started and was now driving.

The car jolted forward and Cassia leaned forward grabbing onto the dashboard.

"I just woke up from almost dying and now your trying to kill me again." She said glaring at 10k.

"Whoa! Whoa! Easy there, kid! Easy! Who taught you how to drive?" Docs asked and 10k laughed.

"Ahhh no one."

"Oh god I'm gonna die." Cassia whispered shaking her head.

"Hands on the ten and the two. And easy on the gas." Doc instructed and 10k nodded

"Go right." Murphy said when the group got to a fork in the road and 10k nodded and turned right.

"Why right?" Doc asked.

"Why not?" Murphy retorted.

"No Zs. That's a good sign. Getting interesting. Liquor! Now you're talking." Doc explained reading the signs and Warren perked up.

"Murphy, we're gonna have to let you navigate more often. Congratulations, son. You're now the designated driver." Doc said patting Murphy on the back and Cassia groaned leaning back in the seat.

"What's that mean?" 10k asked confused.

"It means step on it!" Doc explained.

"Well slap my ass and call me Sally if it ain't Sketchy McClain." Doc explained stepping forward to the guy in the top hat.

"How'd you get way out here?" Doc asked as the group followed Sketchy.

"We traded our way up in the world." Sketchy explained as they neared a shipping truck with people surrounding it.

"Hey, Skeezy! Look what the living dead dragged in!" Sketchy yelled and a real skinny guy jumped out of the truck.

"Doc! I heard you were toast back at Camp Blue Sky! Don't just stand there. Get your ass in here." Skeezy yelled pulling doc in for a hug.

"Uh, over there is the FU-Bar. Home to the finest and probably actually the only corn whiskey and moonshine between here and the Miss Whoa." Skeezy explained pointing to a building and Warren walked away.
