Take One Last Look
Ava and another Kirby, a Sentria vacuum, were huddled in the hallway. Lampy pushed the door open after he heard whimpering.
"It's going to be fine, Sabrina," Ava tried assuring her. "I don't think she'll come back."
Wait, she? Lampy was confused.
He hopped closer.
"Excuse me, ladies," Lampy said.
The two vacuums glanced at him.
Sabrina stammered out a weak greeting.
"Oh, hi," Ava said. "Sabrina here just got back from getting repaired." She turned to the other vacuum. "She probably thinks you're dead."
"But what if she comes back?" Sabrina shrieked.
"She?" Lampy asked.
Ava looked at him. "Are you aware of the Drill Killer?"
"Hector the Collector?" Lampy asked.
Ava shook her head. "No. Debbie. Hector the Collector's what humans blamed her murder spree on."
"She's green and," Sabrina scratched her head. "I think I saw a vacuum and a lamp travel with her."
Lampy's eyes widened. He excused himself and dashed back into his apartment.
