He stared at her, gawking, then groaned in exasperation. "Jesus fucking Christ, Erin!" He frowned at her, upset and worried and broken-hearted. "You keep this up, Erin...we're not gonna make it."

Zippy looked at him, and grabbed hold onto the counter, steadying herself.
He was right, something wasn't right here. She couldn't...she couldn't believe what she just accused him of. But she was scared shitless anyway. "I'm...I'm sorry." she whispered, confused.

((Night!))
He took a deep breath, calming himself down, then walked over to her slowly. "Sweetie...sweetie, I'm really worried about you..."

She didn't look at him. "I think...I'm going to go to sleep." she turned towards her bedroom, confused and still shaking.
Zippy knew she didn't want to lose him, but it terrified her that it was, in her mind, completely probable that he was on their side.

He followed her carefully, helping her get into bed, tucking her in. "Do...do you want me to stay..?"

Zippy shook her head and turned away from him.
It was then that Eli walked into the apartment. He had forgotten his hard hat and he desperately needed it. "Dave? What are you doing here?"

His stomach clenched, but he left Zippy's bedroom, closing her door. He frowned, moving to the living room before he answered Eli's question. "She showed up at school today."

"she what!" Eli groaned, shaking his head. "I'm so sorry, David. What is wrong with her?"

"She's lost her goddamn mind, that's what's wrong with her." He flopped onto the couch, rubbing a hand over his face. "She accused me of working for them."

Eli gave him an apologetic look. "enough of that drink. It can't be helping....its probably only adding to her delusion."

He blinked at him. "You've been giving her that sleep stuff? Eli, what if she's addicted to it or something!"

Eli shrugged, heading back to the door. "she's not sleeping. I'm worried about her too. But it's affecting her funny, unless she truly lost it. Let's see how she is once it leaves her system. Have her drink water." Eli knew it was a bad idea to tell him that the drink had both opium and bourbon in it.

David sighed heavily. "Do you mind if I stay here for a few days? You have to work, and I don't want her by herself. We'll call the bookstore, tell Shelly's she's sick and needs some time off."

"go ahead. We don't have a phone though," Eli pointed out, his hand on the door. "just quit yelling at her, will you?" he left.

David sighed, making a mental note to use the phone in the hall that the building shared. When Eli was gone, he got up, opening the Zippy's door a crack to check on her.
