Victor smiled warily, still seeming to be very nervous. " What if.. one of them get my problem? " his tone was very nervous, but not scared.


" Maybe.. but the zombies don't eat the cats or dogs. "

"It's fine. We'll work through it. You don't hurt anyone that you're friends or family with, so neither will the kid. It will be fine."

"Are you sure about that?" She asked, regretting her words as soon as they came out of her mouth

Victor nodded, starting to calm down. " Alright, I believe you. You wouldn't lie to me. " He said confidently, just holding her in a loving embrace.

Maria shuddered. " Well if they do, I don't really wnat to find out anytime soon... "

"No, I wouldn't." She was glad that he trusted her. "Besides, I'm sure you would see right through it. I wish I had that superpower."

"Yeah, me neither."

" it isn't a superpower, I just know what to look for when a person is lying or not lying. "

" Can Bailey stay with me tonight? "

"Like what?" She asked, really wanting to know

"Yeah, of course. You don't have to ask. She's your dog too."

" Lack of eye contact, fidgeting, very little detail, and constant denial. Listing a few of them. "


" But I just wanted to make sure. I don't wanna do anything wrong. "

"I've also heard that their eyes get dilated. But then again, I've just heard that from some random person."

"Are you kidding? I'm pretty sure it's impossible for you to do anything wrong."

" I don't that that happens, that one if more for fear I think. "

" My other dad said I did a ot of stuff wrong. "

Alaska nodded. "Right. Well, I will definitely look for those things the next time someone talks to me. Besides you."

"Yeah? Well your other dad was a...he was a bad person. I know it might hurt to hear it, but he wasn't the best."
