As I approached Salt Lake Angel wakes up and starts to fuss around I try to keep her calm so she won't bring those things near us. Those things the zombies I first saw them when it was hour 3 of driving. When I neared them they tried to scratch through the car but I quickly drove away and some tried to chase us.

Angel would not calm done so when I saw an building that looked like it was abandoned and nothing was near there so I drove there in top speed.

When I stoped the car I unbuckled Angel from her seat and tried to rock her back to sleep but she would not be quiet so I checked her diaper but she did not need to be changed.

So while I was holding her I reached into the backpack for her bottle of milk but as I was doing that I heard a noise from the back so I put Angel down in her seat and put her pacifier in her mouth.

Then I took out my glock when the figure neared us I was getting ready to shoot until he said "no need to shoot me after I rescued you."

I then realised who it was and internally sighed I then said to him"that you need to go and that we are in Salt Lake right now".

He responded with "I didn't know you were a mom, thought you were a senior in highschool or freshman in college".

I then said in an annoyed voice "that you should mind your business and leave".

"I can't because I decided to help you."

"Don't you have anything better to do."

"No I don't as you can see it is the end of the world but it seems that you have a plan for  safety."

When he said that I warily looked at him and said that "my plans are my own and if you interfere with does plans I won't hesitate to end you."

He then put out his hands and said that "I can drive while you take care of your baby."

And with that Angel started to whine so moved over a little bit so he could get in and drive.
When he got in the car I put the gun in the glove box in front of me and took out the bottle and feed Angel while he drove.

"The names Matthew but people used to call me Matt."
"Name is Madison and this little girl is named Angel." I questioned him "why is it used to call me Matt." His response was "that they are all dead." I then apologized to him.

He then asked "why are you alone." I responded with "that when I had the baby they all left me." "Sorry" he says "It's okay it's been six months and I rather this happen then watch them die." He ask me "Where I am from because my ascent does not sound from here." I say "Washington D.C." "Ohh" is all he says.

When I finish feeding Angel he then ask while i'm putting Angel in her car seat "how old are you." I say "18." He tells me "you should go to sleep while I drives us through Salt Lake" I say no because he does not even know where I'm going to.

He ask me "where are we going" I respond with "where I'm going is into Canada not where you are going" he tells me "that is where he is going to" I scoff at him and say "do you really want to follow me" and he says "yes" I tell him " if he wants to follow then he will need to follow my rules. That he can not stop the car without my permission, tell people where we are going, or offer people to come with us." I ask home " if he agress" and he says "yes."

And with that are fates is sealed together and as I look ou the window to see they glowing sun setting sending rays of orange, red, and yellow he ask me " I still need to tell him where to go".I tell him "once we leave salt lake city to drive into Idaho and use the map I have because I out lined what back roads we will need to use and that I estaimate that the drive should take 6 hours."

He nods his head and says "we are planning to go into Canada which part and how cold is it because I do not have any winter clothes."              
I tell him that "once we reach the boarder of Idaho that is bordering Canada we will try and find clothes for him and the part of Canada we are planning to go to is Yukon and it is near Alaska so guess how cold it is."

He then says "you said We not you/your baby. You are including me."

I then give him a funny look and he says " you should sleep" and I do but while sleeping I wonder if will regret it.
