        it  barely  felt  like  any  time  at  all  had  passed  since zachâs days of running around with his own group of assholes.  funny how some memories could feel so  far away  while others only stayed two steps behind him, breathing down his neck no matter how long it had been.  the way dustin spoke about these supposed saviors made his stomach turn.  it was almost like hearing himself all those years ago.  although the lines between  good and bad  were now blurred, they still existed.  bad news was bad news was bad news.      Â
        â  by the sounds of it, leaving was  the best thing  she couldâve done.   â    zach didnât care if that comment put him on dustinâs bad side.  the decisions brandi made were the best for her family, and he wasnât about to let this kid think anything otherwise â especially of dustinâs own mother.    â  if your dad was off fighting some war, why wouldnât he tell your mom?  why keep that shit a secret?  from what your mom told me, that baby was  no accident.  I think whatever you dad got himself into with these folks â-  â    a dead-ended pause.  zach hated to say it out loud.  this kid, his mom â they all had hope that skip was still somehow alive out there waiting to be found.  and maybe he was â but again, maybe he wasnât.  his own group of assholes sure as hell wasnât.    â  look, weâre gonna search high and low for this dude, alright?  what are we up against if we go confronting these saviors?  you thing we should stay back or go knockinâ on their gates?  â
              â  brandi  .  you can just call her brandi  .   â  it was a subtle sign of his hostility---- how he never referred to brandi as his mom  ,  but by her name  .  he liked when others did the same  ,  but they hardly did  .  â  iâd think youâd know her name  ,  since it sounds like youâre already her bitch  .  â dustinâs opinion of zach currently wasnât too high  .  â i get thereâs not a lot of girls around  ,  but going after a single mother  ?  i wonder what your search history looked like  .   do you prefer the term MILF or cougar  ?   â   heâs only somewhat joking  ,  but he truly does doubt zach is acting from the goodness of his heart  .   that & heâs just permanently scarred from his memories of his friends being attracted to his mother  .  your mom jokes used to be the worst   .   â believe her if you want  ,  i donât give a shit  .  iâll prove it to all of you  .  â
â  the saviors would recognize me  . they donât take kindly to strangers or traitors ,  so knockinâ on their gates is about the dumbest thing i ever heard  .  i ainât lookin for a bullet in my brain today  .  we gotta work around them---- ask other communities  ,  that sorta thing  .   â
