Cat and Simon spent time looking at the map during their three days of respite and had come to the conclusion that they wanted to turn south. They presented it to the group one night.

"We haven't checked out a real city yet," said Cat. "South of us is one called Salt Lake City. Simon and I would like to see it."

"There are cities west of here," said Morgan.

"No, there aren't, not until you reach the coast, and we don't even know where the coast is anymore. Nick and Jason said the coastline has probably changed. It could be a lot further inland than it used to be, and those cities might be gone. If we go down to Salt Lake City, it's probably still there to some degree. Nick and Jason also said that the Great Salt Lake is worth seeing. From there we can decide whether to go west or a little further south."

"Yuki and I agree," said Wade. "We're with you."

"I'll go with you," said Harry, who had begun to hang closer to Cat and Simon.

"I'm in," said Zack. He looked at Darcy by his side. "So is Darcy."

Diana and John looked conflicted, but finally Diana said, "John and I will come."

Morgan had a decision to make. If he agreed to go south with the group, how would he be seen by his two most loyal friends? John and Diana, who were on the fence to begin with, had made their choice.

"We'll come part of the way, then see how it goes," he said. Then he looked over at Zack, who was smirking, and said, “You gotta problem?”

“Nope.” The smirk remained.

“I’ve had just about enough of you.”

“Then leave.”

Morgan jumped up and attacked Zack, who was sitting on a rock. As Zack rose, Morgan hit him full force with his body. The two went tumbling. Zack jumped to his feet and took a swing at Morgan. But the punch was too slow and Morgan smacked Zack in the face, Zack’s punch ineffectively bouncing off Morgan’s shoulder. Zack went down and was slow to get up.

“Knock it off,” yelled Simon.

Morgan looked at Simon with hatred. “This is between me and him. Stay out of it.”

Zack tackled Morgan as he was talking and they both went down in the dirt, slugging away. It only lasted another few seconds, as Cat, Simon, Wade, John, and William pulled the two apart.

The fight was over. Zack had definitely received the worst of it, and was bleeding from his nose and mouth. Morgan shrugged off the others, got up, and walked away.

“It ends here,” said Cat.

“Go screw yourself,” said Morgan.

“You want to try that again?” warned Simon.

“Seriously, Morgan,” said William. “It ends here.”

Morgan shrugged again and sat on the ground. Darcy was fussing over Zack, while shooting Morgan daggers with her eyes.

Morgan was the clear victor, and Cat wondered what it would do to Zack’s self-esteem. She knew he was done trying to lead. For Morgan, it was a little different. He would continue to try to lead the group, but he also knew that Zack would get a lot of sympathy.
