Now, if you really want a full cleansing, then I could center my

healing energy directly into your heart chakra.

Wait a minute.

Heart chakra? You hardly ate anything. Are you okay?

Hasn't flavor.

We can't just eat meat every day of the week. You know that.

Just not into this.

Well, suppose it wouldn't hurt you if you fasted every once in a while.

You could stand and lose a few pounds around your lower midsection there.

Seems like a real problem area for you.

Just not feeling so well.

Oh, wait a minute. It isn't your heart chakra.

It's your root chakra.

That will free your energy system to heal itself.

That's nice.

What is that thing?

It's not a thing.

The point of this piece is to invoke a feeling, to help you see the inherent

energy of the colors and use its healing frequencies.

If you have to search that hard, it's probably not for you.

Only people with a very sophisticated spiritual connection to the Earth could

ever understand.

Which one is this?

It's your 2 p.m. tension gamer boost.

I thought I had that one already. No, you had your 2 p.m. clarity boost.

Oh, yeah.

You forgot already.

You're doing too much, Lynn. You should take a break soon.

I'm too fired up.

I want to make the most of this creative high that I'm on.

Yeah, but you've been at it for hours.

Don't let yourself burn out. Take a break.

I don't need one. I've got tons of energy.

Yes, but your mind needs to rest.

I'm good.

I'll make you something to relax.

Okay, great.

Thank you.

Hey.

If I sound a little blunt, it's only because I want you to be the best you

can be.

For yourself.

I'm sorry.

I lived a clean life.

And therefore, I expected everyone living under my roof to do the same.

My goal was to achieve full optimization of body and mind.

Only through regular exercise, a clean diet, avoidance of sugars and processed

foods would we reach perfection.

Of course, I also needed to take some supplements once in a while.

The back row with the green labels were for my knee pain.

Powerful pain meds that I strictly used when the pain became unmanageable.

The middle row was everything that helped me relax and get a good night's

sleep.

The front row with the blue labels were my productivity, nootropic, and anti

-anxiety pills.

These are the best on the market.

Not easy to find.

But I had a guy.

I have an eye for perfection.

I don't believe that beauty is subjective.

That's for losers who don't mind marinating in their own deceptions.

There's a science to perfection.

Certain guidelines.

When judging, I first usually notice the coat.

Is it strong?

Shiny? Clean?

What color is it?

Is it natural color, or has it been contaminated with dyes or frayed by

chemicals? A lean, smooth neck is a good indicator of health, prime age, and

sophistication of trapezoid and mid-to-lower back muscle length.

I look for loose skin or the dewlap.

Excessive rings are a deal-breaker as well.

The lower half of the body reveals a lot about lifestyle and diet.

I look for uniformity, skin tone.

lean, yet nicely proportional muscle density in marble.

From the gluteus maximus to the loin, down to the shank, there should be

consistent, well-defined muscular composition.

It should be perfect and ripe for the picking.

Perfection.

It's just something I'm into.

I liked order, I liked my routines, and I liked my regimented scheduling.

Everything was just safer and cleaner that way.

Loopy!

Hey, come here for a sec.

But of course, even I like to let it all hang out every once in a while.

Besides, a little humor always helped lighten the mood around here.

And I was getting tired of Lupi's grim disposition.

Hey, Lupi. Is this yours?

Ta-da!

I think your little joke is hilarious.

Good riddance.

One less roach to worry about.

Now they can only get rid of the guys that took his place.

Animals.

Killing only created a power void, you know.

As soon as he got knocked off, things just got worse.

And they made him a martyr.

God, you should see how bad it's become out there.

Not even out of curiosity.

Good.

That's good.

Just stay here where it's safe.

Hey, will you bring me a power smoothie?

I'm getting kind of woozy.

You had that one already.

What time is it?

It's 9.30.

Was I asleep?

How long have I been here?

I think you're having another memory lapse.

You should go take a nap.

Sleeping reorganizes your brain function.

I'm not sleepy. I can make you a shake for that.

Thank you.

Come

in.

Never mind. Yeah.

I can't get anything done if I keep getting interrupted every five minutes.

I know. I'll come back later.

Would you?

Thank you.

Oh, hey.

One more thing.

Next time you clean the medicine cabinet, would you please not mix up the

bottles?

Was that a yes?

Lupe!

Lupe! Was that a yes?

It takes eight years, give or take, for things to return to livable levels.

It's not the end of the world.

Eight years?

And where did they come up with that number?

Seems random.

No, honey, eight years is not random.

Eight is an even number.

Divided in half, it's four.

Still an even number.

What does that have to do with anything?

Because it's scientifically proven that it takes eight years for social amnesia

to fully restore things.

The number eight itself signifies the cleansing or the beginning of a new era

or a new order. I am not a numerologist.

I am clairvoyant.

Eight years in a golden cage?

I need to do a supply run soon. Why don't you come with me? I can't go out

there.

You know I can't handle the negativity.

Then what do you want me to do because I'm doing everything I can to keep us

ahead of... I want to get out of here.

I want to get out of California.

I don't belong here.

This is a wicked place.

But you know we can't do that. This is the safest place for us right now.

untouched by all of this chaos where things are the way they used to be the

way they were for our grandparents with beautiful wide open

spaces and nobody has to lock their doors at night

and our neighbors all look like us god damn it i am not moving

to idaho

Piece of work, this guy, huh?

Not really. He lacks originality.

The Gacy thing has been done to death.

Huh. What do you mean?

Tricking teenagers to get in his car and then taking them home.

That kind of thing.

Oh, right. Yeah.

So... This Gacy character.

Mm-hmm. He'd take them home, then what?

Then he'd bury them under his house, like Karmire.

Hmm. But why? I mean...

He hunted only for the kill.

Seems pointless.

He would torture and rape them.

I should have known not to go down the rabbit hole with you. If you don't want

your delicate little tummy to get all rumbly, don't stare into the abyss, Mr.

Cassell.

Good point.

But if you ever do want to learn about... Sorry to interrupt, but how

long until the interview with Mr. Bertrand goes live? So far, I haven't

received any confirmation from the network, and the client has officially

declined. Okay, when was the last time you actually spoke with anyone at the

network? Monday.

Well, if it's not too much to ask, would you mind getting on the phone with them?

No, like right away.

You're free right now.

That was not a question.

Alex was the managing senior partner.

You know, the boss.

And ever since we had been, well, secretly fucking, she added in for my

secretary.

Jealousy, I guess.

I was never afraid of getting caught cheating on Lynn. I was way too

methodical and cautious for that.

Just something I had perfected over the years from living in a country gone to

absolute shit.

Over time, I had even developed my own safety protocols.

For example, when stopping at a light, I always stopped right behind the car next

to me.

never all the way to the crosswalk that way you're in total control of the

situation you can see them but they can't see you unless they deliberately

twist their neck around to take a look at you but then you know what kind of

character you're dealing with and you act accordingly

we are going to open up the seven chakras.

From the root chakra up to the crown chakra above your head.

Visualize the light expanding into your heart chakra.

Now turn it up until it expands out into your aura space.

I will now ask my spirit guide to work with me during this session.

You might feel a slight warm or tingly sensation.

I will now ask my guide to replenish my healing energy with the power of the

sun and the stars.

Lynn was different.

She believed she was psychic or magical.

To be honest, I loved participating in her little healing sessions.

It was oddly soothing.

She was unique, eccentric, difficult at times, but she understood me.

She got me.

And that was a rare thing.

Len had my mind.

But my heart belonged to Lupe.

Come on, come back to reality for a second.

Reality? I didn't know you guys dealt with reality.

Can you tell me about your early upbringing then?

You taught me how to talk, how to walk, what to wear, what to think. I'm your

child. By you, you mean the media?

So this is the TV's fault?

It's not the TV's fault. The TV's good.

There's some great shows out there. You ever see El Sombrero?

You guys are just as bad as any terrorist I ever met.

Peddling fear and paranoia to the public to keep them under control?

Great job. I get it, I get it. We're bad and you're not, and responsible for your

own actions.

But tell me, Mr. Bertrand, what about the two security guards and the two bank

customers? No, no, no, no!

Don't go there! Don't try to pin that on me!

That was a little five.

Don't you dare go there!

But they were under your command. Or I'm done talking to you! They were under

your command, were they not?

There it is, there it is.

You're painting me out to be this Jesse James-type character going in there,

guns blazing.

They were not under my command. They acted at their own free will. I didn't

force anyone to do anything.

Oh, yes, I forgot. You were a social bandit. A revolutionary.

Oh, you're so funny.

That's a marketing to sell t-shirts to college girls.

Okay, thank you for that. I'm still waiting for my royalties, guys.

You also tried to kill Shannon Santos.

I did not.

I did try to kill her, yes. She was a rat.

Whoops.

She ruined everything.

It was my lawyer's idea, you know.

He tried to bury that little detail.

He's so good at lying, I almost started to believe in myself.

God, what was he like?

I'm a monster.

You should come back again.

Maybe for a conjugal visit, man.

A failing career.

Just one more reason to let it all go.

This wicked place, this filthy, decadent, soul-crushing city was about

to implode on itself.

And that was fine with me.

What is it that gets to you about these freaks, Mr. Cassell?

I'm sorry I sound like such a fangirl. It's not what you think.

It's not that I admire these creeps. I really don't.

I'm just fascinated that these people even exist, you know?

That they live amongst us.

You know, like the monsters next door.

I'm curious about why they do what they do.

Anyways, I guess I just... Didn't want you to get the wrong impression of me.

I think I need to go away.

On a vacation?

Hey, don't let the bastards get you down, all right?

Everything eventually corrects itself.

All this chaos is just nature.

Sometimes you just gotta let the big cats hunt.

You know, thin out the herd of the weak and unworthy.

I'm sorry.

I'm tired. I don't even know what I'm saying.

You're a good person, Rihanna.

You understand me, you.

Get me.

They need to be all taken off the street and systematically destroyed. Every

single goddamn bum and every single goddamn fucking junkie.

Whoa, whoa, hey, what are you doing?

What? What are you doing?

Who are you talking to?

I wasn't talking to you. I didn't ask you that. I know you're not talking to

me. I asked you who you're talking to, your imaginary friend.

It's okay.

What, are you playing some kind of game or something like that?

What do you think we're all a bunch of crazy tweaker assholes? Well, I'm not. I

got my teeth. See?

No, get the fuck out of here. Get out of my yard. Take your imaginary friend with

you, too.

Repent!

I never liked strangers talking to me, much less putting their grimy hands on

me. These filthy street urchins really drove me, well, kind of crazy, I gotta

admit.

This type of shit would really make me overreact sometimes.

I'm overreacting, really?

Have you ever really taken a good look at those things out there?

Oh, the poor homeless.

Oh, they're people too.

No! No, the anthropomorphism of these creatures only allows them to increase

their numbers so they can keep spreading their fucking diseases. And nothing is

done about it.

Nothing! Festering in the very cell structure in the DNA of society.

Now, I will concentrate all of my chi energy into this lapis and

Are you open to receive it?

Yes.

Say the whole thing.

Yes, I'm open to receive it.

I cannot do energy work if I'm going to be interrupted every five minutes.

It's nothing. It's rabbits triggering the sensors. Don't worry about it. And

why does it take Loopy so long to turn it off every time?

She knows how unnerving that sound is to me.

My hearing is very sensitive, Jordan.

I'm in tune with frequencies... I know, honey. ...imperceivable to most people.

What? I didn't do anything.

Hey, not now.

She's awake.

It's not a good time.

You're still in here to keep your balls in your purse, you coward.

What? How much longer are you going to put up with her, huh? You said she

wouldn't be an issue, Susan. What are you on? That's my wife we're talking

about. You said. I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything. You said. You

said. I didn't say anything. You're a liar. I didn't say anything.

I didn't say anything.

Yeah? You didn't say anything.

I count and I keep track and I audit every single pill in my inventory.

Every single one.

I am not an audit.

No, I can't let that happen.

I am not gonna let that happen.

Someone is stealing my medicine.

It has to be.

No, it can't be.

I mean, it's impossible. It's impossible.

She's so against all this.

She hates that I can't deal with my issues the same way that she does.

She judges me for it.

Oh, God.

Yeah.

Maybe I... Maybe I need to come back just a little bit.

Yeah, a little at all.

Maybe I need to come back just a little bit at all.

I mean, maybe...

Maybe I do need to take just a little bit less.

That's all.

That's all I gotta do.

Just a little bit.

Yeah, that's all.

That's all I gotta do.

It'll be fine! Just fine!

Loopy. Loopy.

Loopy.

I'm starting to run low on my meds.

Are you listening to me? This is an emergency.

Stop taking so much.

Just... I need more medicine.

Okay, fine. I'll call my guy tomorrow. Take it easy.

I'll call him now. Okay? Hey!

I need to reach the correct levels now, okay?

What levels? What do you mean by levels? You know what I'm talking about. Don't

act stupid.

Call your guy.

It's too late for this.

Besides, he's like people just dropping in. Fucking drug dealer.

It's never too late for him. Call him. I said no. Do you understand? When I say

no, it's... No, fuck him. All right? I don't give a shit what he wants. I want

my fucking medicine.

He want your medicine.

Okay, here's the address.

Go out there. Tell him you want your medicine because fuck him, right?

Go on.

He's calling tomorrow.

Whatever works best for him.

Oh, yeah?

Okay. Well, that's great.

Thank you.

Yeah, it's fine.

You have to understand, he doesn't have that kind of supply just laying around.

It's gonna take a little bit of time. Okay, when? I don't know, Jordan.

I'll call him tomorrow.

Okay, then.

You gonna have your rooibos tea before bed?

Supposed to be good for stress.

I'm not stressed.

What was all the commotion about?

It was nothing.

Well, I thought I heard some yelling.

The alarm went off. It was nothing.

Loopy's attitude was driving me fucking insane.

God, I just wanted to tear her head right the fuck off.

Luckily, I found something else to distract me.

Intruders.

I'd been prepping for this kind of thing, and we were well-stocked.

It weren't exactly at our doorstep, otherwise the alarms would have been

blaring, annoying the fucking hell out of Lynn.

Just the same, anyone within range of our perimeter was fair game.

And I desperately needed to blow off some steam.

Youth.

The saying goes, youth is wasted on the young.

Around here, youth is wasted on these aimless little savages.

Gangs have taken over every aspect of society.

It's disgusting.

It's become like the Wild West out here.

And they own the night.

Look at them.

They don't deserve to breathe the same air with someone like me.

But there's not anything anyone can do about it.

They say it's the result of a failed economy and decades of endless domestic

conflicts.

It's tribalism gone too far.

They are our most precious resource.

Armed to the teeth.

They're young.

They're angry.

They are the future of America.

It's important to recognize and accept when you're at a disadvantage.

A thinking man knows when to retreat with grace and dignity so as to preserve

life.

Unfortunately for them, none of that shit really applied to me.

I'm not supposed to have the green one this late.

You always have the green shake exactly at 7 p.m.

Oh, my God, Lynn.

You're getting worse.

What would you do without me?

I can't sleep.

It's been, I think, three days or four.

I think it's making me sick.

No. That's impossible.

Why?

Because you just woke up an hour ago.

You're suffering from a mental disorder.

No!

It's okay, Lin.

Don't be ashamed.

I can make you better.

But you need to keep drinking your supplements.

I wasn't sleeping, Lupi.

I was painting.

No. You think you were.

Your mind is playing tricks on you. Then why do I still have paint under my

fingernails? I just spent the last ten minutes washing my hands, trying to get

them clean, and I still couldn't get it out from under them.

You see?

Yes, but I saw you spin. I'm not crazy, am I, Lupe?

Not if you can see it, too.

Right?

Why are you lying to me?

Just go to bed, Lin.

I need to get some sleep. You don't know what I need.

You take this shit and throw it down the drain.

That night, everything changed for Loopy.

The game was over.

Meanwhile, I had a few games yet to play.

I had been studying this new girl I saw in a diner a few days ago.

Your name?

I hooked her in with some of my old pre-rehearsed lines, and she happily

chomped on the bait.

Victoria Hung.

So Vittoria is Italian for triumph, and Hung is Vietnamese for angel.

So you're a triumphant angel. Nicely done.

Most of my friends just think it's Chinese.

I'm sure most of your friends didn't go to Harvard either.

I'm Jordan.

Nice to meet you, Vittoria. Yeah, I really did my homework on this one. Do

you know what Jordan means?

It's a country in the Middle East.

It means to descend or float downwards or...

Something like that.

Well, yeah, if we're talking about where words are derived from.

Of course I knew that. It's also the name of a river between Jordan and

Israel. I'm Lauren, by the way. Nice to meet you. This one was supposed to be

easy. Thanks.

I do a lot of reading, mostly obscure history and weird facts.

I'm into the lesser known things that most people think of as myths, but I do

dabble in mythological tales, don't get me wrong.

Anything to do with the modern gods or superheroes or like the lame fanboys,

they'll call them.

I'll talk to you later.

Next Brecks pork chorizo. I want a coffee water cherry Sprite if you have

it Are you working?

Um Yes, I was eating.

I'm gonna quick lunch break. I come here just about every day nice choice They

have a great roast beef, but I personally prefer the black forest ham

and pepperoni combo. Have you tried that yet?

No, no, I donate process meats. What do you think of that cashier? She's now

I've never seen her before

It's like, how old is she? Does she have a boyfriend?

She looks like she has a boyfriend. I mean, all hot girls already have

boyfriends, right?

I don't know.

She looks Filipino.

I took Mandarin in high school. Got an A. Could probably have a fluent

conversation with her if I really wanted to.

Where'd you go to school? I'm from here, so I just opted to go to school here,

but then I had to drop out to take care of my mom. She's got early-onset

rheumatoid arthritis, so... But she's been going through some new therapy.

She'll do fine.

She's resilient. You love her. She's adorable.

So yeah, I had to drop out, but I'm thinking about going back and get my

associate's degree.

Yeah. How about you? You have a degree, right?

Dumb question. Of course you have a degree. You look like you have a

bachelor's degree or... I went to Harvard.

I hate how they never put enough cheese on these sandwiches. They put enough

cheese on yours?

I think the cashier has a crush on me.

Her name's Vicky. I really like that name. Rhymes with tricky.

Tricky Vicky. I think I'll start calling her that.

She'll think it's cute. She'll think I'm like a hoot or something. I gotta get

going. All right. It's nice talking to you.

Nice to meet you, Jordan.

Talk to you later, bro.

Five pounds of lentils.

Add it to the list.

It's on there already.

Salt.

Got it.

Why don't you come with us?

I'm not getting into this argument again.

Just go.

Don't worry, honey.

We'll be back soon.

You okay?

Hey, honey. Don't worry. We'll be back soon.

After months of preparation, we were finally on the verge of total isolation

from the world.

For eight years, we would hide like rats while the rest of the world burned.

But first, we needed a few more supply runs.

The last couple of days have been hard on everybody, Lupe.

When you live in such close quarters with the same people, it has an effect.

You and I don't give a shit about that.

I'm a survivor just like you, remember?

We can't just stay mad at each other.

Last night I overreacted. I freaked out.

Sorry.

Fine. Whatever.

I don't know what to do with Lynn.

I've tried everything to help her manage her instability, but nothing is working.

I think you should consider putting her on antipsychotic medication.

What are you talking about, antipsychotic medication?

How long are you going to be in denial?

She's eccentric. She's not crazy.

And I really resent you for talking about her like that. Like what? I'm the

only one that's trying to help her. I'm the only one making sure she takes all

of her supplements on time. Now I'm the problem? Oh, right.

I know.

Look, I'm sorry.

Okay? I'm sorry. You're sorry. You're always sorry.

You never do anything to correct the situation because you're always sorry.

Over and over again.

How easy it is to be you.

I know I've been maybe a little rough with you lately, but none of that's

going to matter. Stop! Stop!

What the fuck?

What are you doing?

I am so sorry. Did you not just see me right there? Fuck you!

I'll fucking kill you! Fuck you, you psycho bitch!

Sorry, are you okay?

Pay attention next time! No, you pay attention! If you had those fucking

headphones on, you would have hurt us! Calm down.

Have a nice day!

Sorry.

Poor!

Now calm down!

Calm down, alright?

Don't make such a big deal out of it. The last thing we need is to attract

more yokels, so... Just relax.

You okay?

Listen, I'm having a really bad fucking day.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take it easy. You just looked upset. I just wanted to see if I

could help.

No, thanks.

Listen, I'm really sorry about this morning.

Honestly, I did... We didn't mean anything we said back there. We just got

overly excited. That's all.

So what happened? Some jerk stole my bicycle. Oh, shit.

I'm a courier. I rely on that bike for work. It's my lifeline. Oh, my God. I am

so sorry.

And now I'm gonna have to... I'll freaking carry everything home and...

No, no, no. We'll give you a lift.

No, thanks.

I'll manage. No, it's okay. Where do you live?

Don't be silly. Come on.

Let's go.

Come on.

Come on.

She does it to promote me.

She knows she's supposed to wait until after I drain the body.

She knows!

Instead she sneaks in here and leaves me with this shit?

I'm sorry.

It's not you.

It's just... I'm getting really tired of...

dealing with this passive-aggressive... shit.

She's probably laughing at me right now. She's playing her little games.

What?

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I mean...

She knows how much this pisses me off. It really would make it worse, but...

She loves to push me. She thrives on it.

But... I...

I just really want to do something.

Just want to take a shotgun, shove it up her cunt,

and blow that little bitch's head right off.

Don't let her win.

Kill her.

With kindness.

Yeah.

I know.

You're right.

You're right.

Come in.

Ended up being a pretty good day today, don't you think?

What do you want, Jordan?

How you feeling?

For doing.

Fine.

Well, sometimes it pays off to show a little bit of kindness to strangers.

Now's not the time to get finicky about your dinner, honey. Come on, eat

something.

I can't.

I can't eat anything anymore.

Give it a chance. These are fresh cuts of lean meat. These aren't from the

freezer.

Is this the way things are going to be from now on?

Look, here.

This is what you need.

A nice, fresh piece.

Okay? These ribs are rich in essential iron and B vitamins, and I assure you,

these are free range. I don't want it.

I'm not hungry anymore.

But you do.

You two are okay.

You two are always just fine.

Honey, Lynn, sweetheart, whatever's bothering you, look, it's all in your

head. Oh, it's all in my head?

I'm crazy?

Am I going crazy, Jordan? No, don't be ridiculous. You're showing signs of

vitamin deficiency. Have you been taking your magnesium?

I've been making sure she takes all of her supplements every day.

Maybe it is something else. Oh, Lupe's been making sure I take my vitamins all

right. And I just keep getting sicker and sicker.

And then she's constantly telling me that I'm losing my mind.

That I'm slowly dying.

Honey, we're all slowly dying. Don't defend her! Defend her? What are you

talking about?

I know what you're doing.

With your Mexican voodoo magic.

Okay. I'm cutting you off for the night. What are you doing?

She's been drugging me. I'm not gonna let her talk to me like this. You know

what? You are crazy. And you, wait! Okay, enough.

Calm down.

Look,

she's having a bad night.

Just give her a break.

I know she's been acting different lately, but... I want you to at least

make an effort to be patient with her.

Please.

Please. Give it a try.

I know it's not going to be easy.

But please.

I can get you your medicine.

What? I can get your full supply.

When? Right now.

I thought you said your guy didn't have any yet. It's a different guy.

We have to go right now if you want them.

Just let me do the talking.

I'm Lupe, Bobby's friend.

I know.

Well, y'all got my shit, I got yours.

We've got your shit, sir.

It's fine, I got this.

We're good, where's the stuff?

Upstairs.

Okay.

All right, let's do this.

I'll wait here.

Uh, let's go.

Um, I've got to stay here and watch the car.

You can't wait in the car. Come on.

Let's go.

You'll be fine.

Let's go.

I despise these people, which is why she loved bringing me here.

The sights, the sounds, the smells.

I just want to be back home.

Check out that load of candy.

I'm trying to kill somebody or what?

I never know how to act. If I'm quiet, I'm suspicious.

If I say something, it comes off as weak. Why are you so nervous?

And that's not a good look in these circles.

Why are you so nervous?

Sometimes Loopy would let things go a little too far. You a coward, Jordan?

No, of course not. What are you talking about?

You have a lot of goddamn anxiety, you know that?

You seem to have a big problem with that.

But according to Loopy, Chewie

actually liked me a lot.

I mean, why wouldn't he?

I was one of his best clowns.

Sometimes the clowning would push me to the verge.

But this was a means to an end for both of us.

Given the circumstances, I knew how to keep cool.

It's cool.

It's cool.

After all, I am a psychopath.

Not an idiot.

So? So what do you do?

I'm a lawyer. I thought you knew that.

I mean, what do you like to do when you're not working?

I'm a very busy guy.

So I guess you could say I take my work home with me.

Do you like it like that?

It doesn't matter if I do. I need to get things done right exactly when they need

to be done.

I'm very particular about certain details.

Sounds very controlling.

I'm assuming you don't have to take your work home with you.

I help build houses for non-profit organizations.

It helps underprivileged, sometimes homeless families get a roof over their

heads. It's hard work, but I enjoy volunteering.

It's good for the soul, you know what I mean?

Great.

You ever think about volunteering?

We could always use extra hands.

No, really.

I'm in.

Where do I sign up?

Great. I think we're meeting together next week. Hey, guys. So, uh, my mom's

speech therapist said she may be able to gain up to 30% of her basic motor

skills. She was so cute yesterday.

Great, Lauren.

I'm so glad to hear that your mom's doing better.

Hey,

sorry to cut you off, but I have to get back to the register.

Talk to you guys later.

So, uh, how you been? Jordan haven't, uh, seen you around here recently.

That's because I have a life, Lauren.

Love the way Vicky's looking today.

God, she looks so good. I bet she lives around the college area, because that's

where all the hot girls hang out.

What do you think? Do you think she's still in college?

I swear to God, man, I'm gonna go back and finish someday. I need to get going.

I used to get so many girls when I was in college, and they all looked like

Vicky. No, they looked better than her.

No, you didn't. Yup, I did.

Yep. I bet I could get Vicky if I really wanted to. No, you can't.

You never could, and you never will.

Well, yeah. I mean, I just gotta lose a few pounds. That'll be easy. I used to

be in really good shape. I think I'm gonna start getting back in shape again,

man. You're never gonna do any of that.

Because you're a dumb man.

You're dumb.

Oh, are you listening?

Of course not. Because you're dumb.

All you listen to are your own dumb ideas, because they sound better than

the truth, don't they?

But you know what the truth is?

Whatever, I don't know what you're talking about. Nobody likes you, Lauren.

You're an annoying clown with the social skills of an ape.

But a grown man nevertheless.

You do know that, don't you?

Give me that much at least. You do know that you're a grown man, right?

What are you, like, 35?

The truth is...

You're a mentally stunted dumb man, or should I say dumb boy, trapped in the

body of a grown-ass adult. Whatever.

And you smell so bad.

You smell like you do a bad job wiping your own ass and you don't even bother

to shower.

People pretend to be nice to you out of pity, and they pity you because you're a

tragic, dumb, little man wearing little boy clothes.

But you're okay with that, because you'll take whatever you can get.

Even if it's pity.

Who the fuck are you, man? You don't know me. You're just a fucking shape and

a fucking tie and a fucking suit. You think you can talk to me like that?

Fuck you, man. You're not even real. You're just a fucking construct.

Not a fucking human being.

Sometimes they do get away.

Others aren't so lucky.

Lauren. Hey.

Come on, buddy.

You know I didn't mean any of that.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

Come on, man. Friends forgive friends.

Let me give you a lift home.

It's the least I can do.

Come on, pal.

So, uh... Some of the things you said back there about me, I think you might

have been right about something.

What? No, come on.

I try, man. I really try to meet people like me. I do. I know that I look like

Dracula fucked a beaver, but, uh, you know, I want to try to be better. Yeah.

Maybe you can help.

Maybe more like you, I guess.

I want to change.

Change?

It's too late for that. No, it's never too late for self-improvement.

It's over, Lauren.

Dude, don't!

Don't fucking do it, man.

Don't fucking do it. Tell me it's a joke or something. Come on.

Please,

don't do this, bro. Come on.

Don't fucking shoot that at me! No, no, no, no!

Hey,

so how is your mother doing these days?

Oh, that's right.

The doctor said she'd probably be able to regain up to 30% of her motor skills.

How are your motor skills right now, Lauren?

Wait, don't kill me again!

Don't kill me!

Okay.

Seems like we better hurry it up anyway, because we're getting soaking wet.

I'm gonna need that.

No, Lauren.

Excessive breathing is a leading cause of oxidative stress and aging.

Aging is a leading cause of death. I never did anything to you. I'm a good

person.

You're a pig. You're not a person.

You should always practice slow, controlled breathing.

In and out through the nose.

This is what I think about his oxygen efficiency.

Yeah, no, it's not good news. Actually, after that shit show of a crap interview

out there with your client, um, Mr. Bertrand, the partners met and decided

that we're not going to make you partner. What?

It's an revocable decision.

Wait a second. How can you just go back on your promise like this, Alex? What

about what?

I don't make promises to anyone.

Don't try to mix things up, Jordan.

Look, we fucked around.

Big deal. It doesn't mean I owe you jack shit.

I strongly advise him to not accept the interview and did everything in my power

short of breaking... I have to admit, by this point I was having a hard time

concentrating because I just kept picturing what her head would look like

in my closet.

You let him binge you over!

Fucking bitch.

Why is she all excited? I have no idea what you're talking about.

Where are you going?

Excuse me?

Sorry, I didn't mean to be such a pest.

That's fine, I'm going to grab lunch.

Ooh, you're going down to the diner? I'll come with you.

Nah. Brought my own today.

Leftover ribs.

You're welcome to try some.

I don't eat meat, and you know that.

You ought to give it a shot. It's not all death and destruction.

It's not even that.

I just like to keep things simple.

I have teeth, not sharp fangs. I don't believe that humans are meant to devour

meat. You see these?

These are the teeth of an herbivore.

Oh, really?

Mm-hmm.

So what do you think would happen if I suddenly jumped on you and bit into your

neck?

I wouldn't do that.

Not today.

My mom's still looking for me.

She's not giving up hope. She's a real trooper.

She's not giving up on me.

Do you have a mom, Jordan? Mine's from Oregon.

I've never been, but I've read that it's from Oregon.

Shut up!

Do you have a mom, Jordan? Mine's from Oregon.

Get out!

No, no. I live for you. No, no. You.

You can't live with me, Lauren.

Give me the germs.

Then why did you bring me here?

It's not a sin to kill for sustenance. You eat what you kill, and it's not

murder. It's that simple.

Your hands are clean. Your conscience is clean.

Your soul in the eyes of God.

is clean.

But when it's not, well, there's a pill for that.

It was Loopy's job to make sure my medicine was kept fully stocked and in

the correct order.

Because if, say, the wrong pills were in the wrong bottle, or the dosages were

all mixed up, well, you get the picture.

What is it?

Jordan needs our help.

What for?

Come down to the basement.

I don't go down there.

It's gross.

I know, Lynn, but this is an emergency.

Jordan needs you.

He needs our help.

Where's Jordan?

We had a power failure.

He went down to the generators to check it out.

He'll be back soon

What's

this for?

Don't you know?

I like when I'm done with your head.

Why are you ruining this for me?

sensitive. I shouldn't have been doing this kind of thing.

He told me to tell you to help me, Lynn.

He's busy trying to get the air back on.

So?

So you need air to breathe.

I know that.

Never mind.

Can't you see how exhausted I am?

I need my rest to restore my energy and resynchronize my circadian rhythms.

I'm not tired.

I'm not tired at all.

You know why, Lynn?

Because I'm used to doing backbreaking work for overprivileged lazy bitches

like you.

That's all going to change.

Except for tonight, I'll be the main bitch around here.

What is that, your magical shield?

What the fuck do you think I want, you dumb bitch?

You're gonna have an overdose.

Jordan! He can't help you.

He's with me now.

I love you, bitch.

What have you done to him?

What's that gonna do, huh?

I'll rip her open.

No.

This bitch is mine. This is my kill.

She was my confidant.

My partner.

The little storm of jealousy.

The brutal truth I'd come to understand all too well.

Every predator is someone else's prey.

Where is she?

Where's Loopy?

I'm gonna f*** you. I'll fucking destroy her when I find her. Tell me.

It got away.

What?

The meat.

It got away.

No. You should have put your hair when I told you to.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I know.

Oh, my God. I know.

You're getting better, okay? You're gonna get better. We're gonna get out of

here. We're just the two of us, okay? We're gonna get out of here, okay?

Okay. We're gonna be okay.

I know.

Jordan!

Jordan! I'm right here.

I'm right here.

I'm right here.

It's okay.

The alarm!

You trust, you trust, you trust this way

You trust,

you trust, you trust this way
