Scarlett's POV
"Hey, Pea! You find anything in there yet?" Warren yelled from downstairs and instead of yelling back, I skipped down stairs and showed off my new outfit.
"How's this?"
"That shirt..." Garnett said and made a face while shaking his head. "It's-"
"Better than my last."
"Not by much." Warren shrugged and took a sip of her coffee.
"I think she looks great. The shirt is a great choice. If she gets hot she can just take off her jacket." 10k defended me and I nodded at him.
"Uh, my jacket you mean."
"Seriously Murphy. You're still on that? It's not your jacket anymore."
"And why not?"
"Because I said so." I gave him a look and he opened his mouth to continue but I shushed him. "I've also been keeping your ass alive, and I haven't gotten a verbal thank you so this jacket was collateral."

"Cloudy with a chance of zombie."
After sending the love sick puppies upstairs to "rest" I moved from in between Murphy and Doc to the couch where Cassandra tried to sleep.
