“Well, it’s her lion!” His blond friend shook his head and took the gun away, setically at me “I’m sorry We didn’t mean to intrude We didn’t know anyone still lived here”
“It’s okay,” I shrugged “We’re intruding, too They have sood” Without further invitation, the for over the couch on his race to the kitchen I glanced back at Ripley to make sure that she didn’t decide he was food, and she watched hiuy said, nodding at his friend, who shouted happy expletives in the kitchen “I’m Blue”
“What? You mean like your name is Blue?” I raised an eyebrow “Like the color?”
“My parents were hippies”
“I’m Remy” I decided that I didn’t have estured to the cat “She’s Ripley, and Harlow is upstairs”
“Is it safe fordown the steps
I looked back at Blue “You guys are safe, right?”
“Yeah,” Blue nodded “I’ to be a doctor,” I said He only looked to be in his ,” Blue explained, then lowered his eyes, the way everyone seemed to when they talked about what life was like before the zombies “So, no, I’ that’s out there now”
“What’s going on?” Harlow caed her clothes, another skirt that she had to tighten with a belt, and it still looked loose on her slender hips Her hair was pulled back more neatly, now devoid any specks of blood
“This is Blue” I gestured to the ave a half-wave, but she stared at hi at hi room His mouth was full, and he had a half-eaten can of SPAM in one hand and a Fiji water in the other Without the gun, he wasn’t inti tee shirt and jeans, he looked co?” He gestured to Harlow, spitting little chunks of SPAM out when he spoke
“Oh od” Harlow did a sharp intake of breath, and her eyes widened when she saw him “You’re Lazlo Durante!”

They were radio-friendly punk, kind of like a boy band with guitars, but their music had been catchy Even I had their albu Stone, looking rather sexy in a shirtless pose
“The one and only” Lazlo choked down the massive chunk of SPAM in his ed to look proud I guess it nized after the apocalypse
“What are you doing here?” Harlow asked, in awe
“Probably the sa useful” Lazlo took a swig of water and pointed to the hole in the wall froht she was gonna eat et a lion anyway?”
“Found her on the side of the road,” I said
“Sorry I’ I just haven’t eaten in a while” He looked at Blue and motioned to the kitchen “They have other stuff in there, if you wanna eat And not just SPAM I know you’re not that into it”
Lazlo smirked, and in a falsetto, he said, “I don’t like SPAM,” and then went back to his norht?”
“What’s Monty Python?” Harlow asked, and I rolled et so to ed “Just leave some for us”
