s this guy?” questioned John with an angry face.
“This is Tony, he can help us get to the rocket,”replied Jackie terrified for what John may say next.
“No!” screamed John, “We are going to get there on our own. We don’t need help from some stranger.”
Jackie didn’t reply and got in the car with John. They continued to make their way to the lab and Jackie shared everything Tony told her with John. The car ride was long and silent as John was frustrated as he drove and Jackie didn’t want to make him angrier by saying something. They didn’t stop during the ride, even when zombies were in the middle of the road John refused to stop and went right through them.
