After sitting in a diner with Eli for hours, Zippy was in a daze. She could hardly believe what was happening, for her questions finally had some answers.
Eli walked her back, promising to stop by again the next day. After signing the ledger, Zippy went to go sit down, needing a few moments to take it all in.

David was already in the parlor when she arrived, sitting on the couch and frowning. He'd come by after school, frustrated when he couldn't find her there. So he'd waited. And waited. And waited.

((oh no))
When Zippy walked into the room, she beamed when she saw Dave. "Davey!" She was tired, but it was great to see him. She couldn't wait to tell him everything. She plopped down on the couch next to him and snuggled into him immediately.

He frowned at her, but put his arm around her, anyway. "Where were you?! I waited for ages!"

"Oh David. It was amazing! I was with Eli," she began, kissing his neck. "I'm sorry you were waiting."

He froze, frown deepening. "You went out with him? Alone? Without telling anybody? Zippy, what were you thinking?!"

((its interesting that David doesn't trust Eli!!))
Zippy scowled at him. "I was thinking, IT'S MY BROTHER. What the hell, Dave!"

((Oh, he doesn't trust him AT ALL!))
"Yeah, you're brother that was willing to kill us for a goddamn necklace! Did you forget about that?" David huffed, annoyed and concerned for her.

"He thought we were rich," Zippy explained, crossing her arms at him. "We were making out outside of a fancy restaurant. He wouldn't have done it if he knew we were poor. And he wouldnt have killed us, he was using a pocket knife."

"You don't know that, Zip! You don't know him! You have no idea what he's really like now, or what he's capable of!"

Zippy looked down, suddenly miserable. David was right, of course. But Eli seemed just the same.
"He's my brother, David. He's my blood. He's family. He cried with me today for 15 minutes. You can't fake that..." Plus what could he get for her? The worst that could happen, Zippy decided, would never happen.

David let out a breath, raking a hand through his hair. "I just...I'm worried about you, Zip. I don't--I don't want you getting hurt." He was worried about how she'd react if Eli disappeared again.

"what am I supposed to do? I take the same risks with you everyday," she told him, frowning. She had to give Eli the benefit of the doubt. His story made sense and he was just as happy to see her as she was him.

That made him glower angrily. "Are you seriously putting me in the same category as him? You really saying you don't know that I won't hurt you?"

"come on Dave that's not fair. You know that's not what I mean. But who says you won't steal me and sell me off into sex slavery? Its the same thing." she kissed his shoulder, looking up at him with tired eyes. "this is one of the greatest things to ever happen to me. I found you and him in the same year. Don't ruin this for me."
