As they approach the gruesome scene, Candy grabs onto Kevin's arm with a terrified expression on her face.

"You think that's scary, try putting a junkie in cuffs", he scoffs.

"God their sick looking."

"Ehh they look about the same as the zombies."

"Kevin..." Candy points.

The zombies peak their heads up from their mangled dinner as they catch the scent of Candy and Kevin. One lets out a hungry, sick, gurgle as they all rise and puts their arms out in front of them and begin to walk toward the two.

"Jeese look at them, it's like they work as a team, hunting in packs."

"Well Kevin they're packing this way, and its freaking me out."

"Ok, hold on."

"God just shoot them Kevin I'm getting sick." Candy says as one corpse coughs out a huge chunk of coagulated blood.

"Ok don't get your panties in a knot, Im trying to get a good shot." he says as he aims his gun.

Suddenly the first zombie lunges toward them, teeth chomping, but is immediately stopped with a bullet between its eyes. It hits the pavement, blood oozing out of its head, body twitching. The other two hungry corpses trip over it, lunging toward the two potential victims. Candy screams, exiting them even more, which causes them to zero in on her.

"Sorry boys, she's with me tonight." He says as he pushes Candy in back of him.

The two zombies try their hardest in a desperate attempt to get a mouthful of warm fresh meat, doing exactly what the remainder of their brains tells them to do, but they stand no chance against Kevin's .45 Automatic. In a matter of seconds they are all laying on the pavement with a bullet in their brain.

"Just like that." Kevin says and smiles.

"Come on stud-muffin." Candy says and grabs his wrist.

They step over the bodies and walk toward the stairs. Candy reaches in her pocket to grab her keys as they walk up the stairs, stepping over the body that the zombies were previously feasting on.

"That's just sick." says Candy as she steps over the pile of gore.

"Tell me about it."

Just as Candy puts the key in the keyhole, the corpses hand reaches out and grabs her ankle. Candy shrieks, in pure shock and terror.

"OH NOO!" She screams.

"MOTHERFUCKER!" Kevin shouts as he grabs Candy's arm trying to pull her away from the zombie.

Kevin grabs for his gun, but just as the zombies chomping mouth reaches to devour Candy's ankle, a black shiny heel crunches through its skull, causing it's whole body to go limp. Kevin looks up at Candy, in surprise.

"Whoa, are you o.k?"

"Yep."

But he can see that her heart is pounding in her chest, and she is trembling as well. He looks at her and tilts his head.

"Never better Kevin Ryman."

"Yeah it looks like it."

She pulls her heel out of the corpses head. The sound makes a sickening suction noise as he heel comes out, full of blood and chunks of brain matter. Candy looks down at it and gags.

"I think I'm going to puke."

"Here just turn away." Kevin says as he grabs her shoulder and walks to the door.

As they enter Candy's room to the apartment, Kevin's eyes immediately wonder around the room looking at the various posters and painting's on her wall. She places a pair of jeans and an army jacket on the couch. This girl knows her stuff. He thinks to himself as he looks at the expertly drawn portraits of people, some famous, some he's never seen before. She's good at drawing but she could sure use some lessons on cleaning. She wanders through the rooms of her apartment mumbling to herself as she grabs various things that they might need on their way.

Suddenly Kevin turns around and she's standing there in her bra. His eyes widen as he stands motionless, in shock. She looks at him for a moment, studying the look in his blue eyes.

"Uhh uhhhhhh, your shirt is over there." he points to the couch not taking his eyes off her.

His stomach felt like there were things fluttering around in it. Geeze Kevin what's wrong with you? He asks himself as Candy smiles and walks over to the couch, grabbing her shirt. She turns her head and looks him in the eye.

"Sorry..." He says and turns his head away.

Candy puts on her tanktop and army jacket, rolling up the sleeves. It was her good luck jacket, she had it since the sixth grade, and she need all the luck she could get at this point She grabs the backpack and puts it on.

"O.K., Im ready, is there anything you need?"

Yes but Im not going to tell you.

"No, I think you got everything."

"O.K. good, I just need to grab..."

Suddenly she pauses and looks at the tank in the corner of the room.

"What?" Kevin asks.

"Where's Bruce? I was going to put him in my backpack cus he likes riding in there and I didn't want to leave him here but now..."

"Wait a minute who's Bruce?"

"My darling Iguana, my little sweetheart, my cutie pie, I cant leave him here, he'll get eaten."

Kevin's eyes suddenly get really really wide as he sees something walk out from behind the counter .

"Well your going to have to leave him here because he's definately not going to fit in your backpack."

Candy turns around to see her once "cute and little" Iguana, towering over her with big red eyes and saliva dripping from his mouth. It tilts its head and looks at her. Frozen in terror she only stares up at Bruce, eyes wide.

"Ummm Candy I think you should slowly make your way over here, away from your little sweetheart, he looks really hungry."

"B-B-B-Brucey?"

Kevin slowly reaches for Candy's hand and begins pulling her toward him. Suddenly Brucey turns his focus to Kevin. The look on his face changes as his throat puffs up and the long row of spines on his back erect. He curls his lips back, revealing two rows of pencil sized teeth, gleaming in saliva.

"Shiit."

"I don't think he likes you Kev."

"Which is why were leaving right now."

Kevin pulls Candy to the door frantically as Bruce lets out a blood curdling scream, scrambling toward Kevin, mouth open, eyes glowing. He arches his neck and strikes at Kevin, biting the kitchen counter, by accident, giving Kevin enough time to pull Candy and himself out the door. Kevin looks at Candy breathing heavily with his hand holding the door closed.

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

"Oh Brucey, what happpend?"

"I'll tell you exactly what happened." says Kevin.

Suddenly a huge force hits the door with a loud SMACK! as a sillouette of Bruce's jaw drawn in teeth, protrudes from the door. Kevin flies backwards and grabs Candy's hand.

"I'll tell you exactly what happened as soon as we get the fuck out of here."

They take off running as they hear the door being ripped from the hinges and crunched in half. They go out the nearest door that leads to another alleyway. Bruce's furious screams can be heard all the way outside. Kevin and Candy sit for a moment and catch their breath. Candy laughs a little.

"Kevin your kinda cute when you're scared."

"Me? What? I wasn't scared, I just prefer not to get my abdomen torn out by a gigantic lizard. You looked pretty damn surprised as well."

"Yeah maybe a little scared." She laughs.

Suddenly they hear a series of deep growls as they look forward and realize they are being watched.

"Not as scared as I am now." says Candy as she grabs onto Kevin's arm once again.
