2. "What happened to your eye?"
Benny raises an eyebrow. You know, the one left.
"I could ask you the same question, bro," he drops his hand, raises it to his face. Fingers around it, winces. "Dunno, man. Woke up, it was like this. Maybe some shrapnel hit it or something? It fucking smarts, though."
"Yeah, the same thing happened with me," you say.
"Weird. That kid missing an eye too?" Benny asks, squinting against the headlights at her. "Hey, anyone ever tell you it's not polite to point?"
Nicole drops her hand.
"What's your name, tits?" Benny says.
You narrow your... eye... at him. Nicole makes no reply, just goes on staring.
"It's Nicole," you say. "And watch your mouth."
Benny laughs. "My mouth? Sure, why not. I mean, we've got fucking penis zombies and shit running around outside, but whatever sucks your balls." He makes a motion like zipping his mouth, and grins. "So, I got some food back here, and water. I guess you helped yourself to the store."
"Yeah. There a generator back there?"
"Eh? Dunno. What do they look like?"
"Uh. Depends on the generator... I guess... I'd think I'd recognize one, if I saw it. You know. Gasoline motor for the power."
"Oh. Maybe. Be my guest," he says, standing aside, arms inviting you in.
You step past him, into the room. Taking a quick look around, you spot what looks like...
"This is it!" you exclaim, rushing over to a square object in the corner.
"Cool," Benny says, opening a twinkie and biting into it.
Nicole walks in, and Benny watches her, bemused.
"Don't talk much, do ya, kid?"
Nicole ignores him and walks over to a shelf. She lifts a hand, takes down a sucker. Silently she unwraps it at sticks it in her mouth.
"Oral fixation, huh?" says Benny. "Just the way I like 'em."
You turn from your fiddling. "What did I just say?"
"Sorry," Benny says, but his eyes are amused. "I hung out with a pretty rough crowd. You know, the streets and sh-- all."
"Uh huh. I'm sure," you say, getting the generator started.
The lights come back on, flooding the back room and store with sudden brightness.
Benny lets out a little yell. "Good work, man. Uh, what did we need the power for, again?"
"I'm getting gas," you say, as you brush past him.
"Oh man," Benny says, following you. "You have a car?" That semi out there is locked. No keys in it anyway, so I figured I'd hole up here."
"Yeah. Found it on the highway. The previous owner... didn't have anymore use for it."
"Nice," Benny says, grinning at you as you release the pump from the register.
"Nicole! Sweetie, why don't you come outside, I'm gonna fill up the car."
Benny and Nicole follow you outside. "What kind of gun is that?" asks Benny.
"Dunno," you reply, popping the gas cap off and inserting the nozzle.
"You kill any of those zombie dudes?"
"Not really," you say.
"Hey, I didn't catch your name," Benny says, fingering his ear stud.
