sob.
    “I can help you.”
    “What?”
    “I can make all your pains go away.”
    “What the… What the heck are you talking about, Shane?”
     
    However, Becky could no longer take her eyes off Shane, although she had lost the means to realize it. Her muscles paralyzed all at once, she could not move. And yet, Becky felt extremely good.
     
    Shane said:
    “The sunshine springs, happiness it brings.
    Those eyes you should follow, to keep away sorrow.
    Seek the giant bird you must, on her you shall blindly trust.
    For the good science you will urge, from all impurities to purge.”
     
    Becky blinked a couple of times.
     
    “Wow!” She said.
    “It’s amazing, isn’t it?”
     
     
    “Well, now we just have to find a way to beat boredom.” Nick yawned.
    “Try having your stomach pumped.” Susan replied.
    “You also ate a hell lot!”
    “I know, but I like to nag.” She smiled. So did the other three.
     
    They lazily stood up, even having to put some efforts to do so.
     
    “Man, I don’t want to see food for at least a month.” Frank said.
    “I hope you don’t have to swallow those words in a month.” Paul spoke.
    “I’m too full to swallow anything.”
    “We’d better try to find some weapons.” Nick suggested. “We can’t stay here forever.”
    “What kind of weapons can we find in a movie theater?” Frank asked.
    “We can smash zombies’ heads with movie reels.” Paul replied.
    “Very funny.”
    “Why don’t we just stay here?” Frank suggested.
    “Because we are still in the middle of nowhere” Nick answered. “If we eat every day as we did in the last fifteen minutes, we’re going to run out of food real fast.”
    “Not to mention we still have loved ones to find.” Susan said. “We can’t just give up on them.”
    “But where we go from here, and with what vehicle? The good old van must be packed with walking corpses right now.”
    “That’s a good point.” Nick admitted. “Well, let’s go find the creepo and then we see.”
    “Hey, you be nice to Becky!” Susan practically commanded him.
     
    However, they didn’t have to go very far. By the cinema exit the creepo was standing, together with Shane. And Becky was eating a large double cheeseburger, not exactly a veggie one.
     
    “Hey guys.” She said with her mouth full. “Sorry I left in such a hurry. This is Shane. She’s the one who opened the door for us. She also runs this place.”
    “Hi…” Nick and Frank said insecure. Susan and Paul just nodded.
    “Hi, everybody!” Shane replied with a bright, incredibly charming smile.
    “Thanks for letting us in.” Susan spoke.
     
    The surprise of meeting their savior so suddenly was nothing compared to the astonishment of seeing Becky eating a carnivore, vein clogging meal.
     
    “Oh, think nothing of it.” Shane responded. “It was actually a selfish act. I was desperate for company. And I could never imagine I’d be visited by such nice folks. I should be the one thanking you.”
    “Um, guys…” Becky spoke. “I’m sorry I was mean to you before. What happened in the park was nobody’s fault. If Joyce had obeyed Susan instead of chasing that freaking dog, she’d be alive now. Lucas was careless as usual and got himself bitten. There was nothing else you could’ve done. I was a jerk, I’m really sorry.”
    “Not at all!” Susan said emphatically. “Nobody’s a jerk. It was a difficult situation, we all understand. Joyce and Lucas meant a lot to all of us.”
    “Thanks.” Becky said very gently. Nick frowned.
    “I’m so excited!” Shane continued. “I’ve never felt such positive energy like the one you bring. You’ll fit in just fine. I can barely wait to show you around. Feel very much free to eat and drink all you want. Then, we meet back here for a movie. I got a pretty good selection of the cheesiest Hollywood trash of all times, just for you!”
    “Alright!!!” Frank jumped.
