He shook his head. "They won't. You cut off the head of the snake, the body dies. And anyway, Tristan swore up and down they would leave you alone from now on."

"Tristan is a piece of work," Zippy replied, sighing. "Of all people, I didn't want him knowing....."

He sighed. "That's my fault. I just...I knew Eli couldn't handle it, and I knew you'd be devastated if anything happened to him."

"I just...don't think its over, David. I really don't." She rubbed her eyes, and stood up, and began to wash away the ashes of the burnt tallit. "Would you...be devastated if I skipped town for awhile? Just to make sure?"

He stood up when she did, then froze. "You....wanna leave? And go where?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. Out of the city. Those guys knew about the Hattan LH. I saw a few of his guys checking up on me a few times. It would only be a matter of time until they found me here."

He frowned at her. "Erin, you don't need to be paranoid about this. I don't want you leaving."

Zippy looked David right in the eyes. "Are you telling me that you, of all people, isn't worried for me? who else would order to have Joe killed off?"

He scoffed. "You really think a guy like that hasn't made more enemies in his life? He's a gang leader, Erin! And don't ever accuse me of not worrying about you. I worry about you every fucking day!"

She glared at him. "There was a reason I didn't go back there, why I moved away. There was a reason why I didn't just go to fucking Tristan myself!"

Now he really didn't believe her. "You didn't go to Tristan, because it's Tristan."

"No, I didn't go because they would get me if I did!" She was truly scared of his gang, and even Joseph, even if he was dead. " I didn't want to get caught up in a mess like this! I've heard stories from Raven. Even from Tristan. Once it starts, it doesn't stop."

He frowned at her, then pulled her into a tight embrace. "Erin, it's over. It's over, okay. You need to calm down."

She didn't believe him. "You don't know, Dave. You just don't know!"
((how ridiculous would it be if Zippy was the one that leaves? she's always terrified he'll leave her then BAM she's gone?))

((Oh, man, David would be completely crushed!))
"Neither do you!" He sighed, kissing her forehead. "Please, Erin. Just trust me, goddammit."
