“I don’t understand why we can’t take a little time off,” Stacey complained, shivering beside the space heater she’d insisted on bringing.
“Because we’ve built a delicate balance into every profitable business venture,” Dale replied. “We can’t just leave. What if something came up and Maneater had to deal with it? His head would explode.”
Stacey giggled morbidly at that image. Dale quirked an eyebrow and tried to write it off as just another odd moment. Like when they’d found brain-eating man…
“Darling, you confuse me,” he informed her. He had to admit, though, that the uncharitable thought of Maneater’s ceased existence was rather entertaining.
“That would be my job.”
She turned the heater up and shivered some more, hoping they could go home soon.
