Something wicked this way comes

"Do you have any food on you by any chance I'm hungry," Zonia asked.

Gef shook his head, "Sorry lil lady I don't have nothin on me,"

"Oh darn I was really hoping for something to eat oh well," she said sadly as she batted her eyelashes at Bo. Who had another ration bar in his hand after he raided through her purse, "You want a bite," he asked.

"Sure," Zonia replied chirpily as she took the bar and shoved the whole thing in her mouth with the wrapper still on. Bo and Gef looked at her wide eyed as she finished it with one bite and swallowed it in one go.

"Wow ya can really eat," Gef commented.

Bo shook his head in agreement, "Yeah no kidding."

"Well I was hungry."

"Yeah I can tell." Bo admitted trying to process what just happened.

"Gef can you do me a favor and get me some water," she asked in a baby voice then turned to Bo, "Please I'm really thirsty."

Bo blushed and pulled up his pants trying to understand what she just said, "Oh sorry sweetie I got to watch you Cap'ns orders."

Zonia latched her arm around Bo's startling him, "Bo can watch me while you get the canteen I promise to be good."

Gef shrugged his shoulders, "Okay sweetie I'll be right back don't have too much fun while I'm gone," he said as he went to get the canteen.

"So pretty crazy weather right now huh," Bo said in hopes of starting a conversation with her.

"Finally that hick red headed moron is gone I wasn't sure how much more of his ramblings I could take."

"Wait what?" Bo asked.

"Nothing but can I tell you a secret green is my favorite color," She whispered.

"You don't say," He said as he tried to keep his cool.

Zonia licked her lips, "Yeah and you look pretty tasty."

"Well you look pretty sweet yourself with that candy ass of yours."

"Oh you," she traced her fingers over his neck, "Do you want to hear a joke."

"Sure."

"How is a neck like glass?"

Bo thought about for a moment how was a neck like glass he thought about it for a couple seconds, "I got it!" he spat excitedly as he snapped his fingers.

Zonia raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

"You bet is it because their both valuable."

"Wrongo."

"Okay then sugar what's the answer?" He asked cockily.

"How easily they both can break," She said with a creepy smile on her face. He felt her grip tighten around his neck and gulped, "Um Zonia this is starting to hurt."

He felt his heart start to beat faster when he saw the glare she fixed him almost demonic like, "That's not my name," she spat as he silently prayed to any god out there that was listening because her grip just kept getting tighter, "Yes it's so fascinating how easily a life can be taken by just one action the harder I squeeze the quicker the neck snaps. Just like glass only it won't be shards in my hands when it snaps just bruises and if I'm lucky blood."

Bo looked at her with fear in his eyes as she stared up at him with a sadistic smile as she suddenly started laughing, "But where's the fun in that."

"Yeah true." he agreed trying to get on her good side but was put off when she started sniffing him, "You stink of fear."

"Well I u-,"
