Because we love them, they're targets.

[long silence -- she's crying, but not in the sobbing way that he'd could hear. When she does finally speak, though, her tone's definitely watery, but it's also firm and determined enough to try and hide it.]

If they do ... How do you kill a zombie?

... Take out the head. Don't let 'em get close.

... Okay. Okay, I can ... remember that. [She wasn't going to say she can do that, because just thinking about it is twisting her heart in uncomfortable ways.]

It's just a precaution, Claire.

I know. I'm not going to jump the gun or anything, don't worry, I just ... It figured it'd be too good to be true, you know? I was so happy to have them back.

Don't worry about us, ok?

[identity profile] autophoenix.livejournal.com 2010-03-28 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Or ... try not to, at least. We've got things under control here.

[identity profile] like-dillinger.livejournal.com 2010-03-28 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we'll see how long that lasts.

I'll make sure the facility we wind up picking out for the Company is 100% zombieproof.

[identity profile] like-dillinger.livejournal.com 2010-03-28 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'll warn you. They can pick locks.

[identity profile] autophoenix.livejournal.com 2010-03-28 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
... Zombies aren't supposed to be able to pick locks. That's cheating!

So, that's a yes on springing for deadbolts.

[identity profile] like-dillinger.livejournal.com 2010-03-28 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely.


Take care, alright?

I'll do what I can. You too, okay? Be safe. Relatively.
