Lilith SaintcrowWhat do you say when someone takes on a really bad ass, murdering sucker for you? There just aren't words for that.
Lilith SaintcrowHello, Officer? Can you help me? My dad got turned into a zombie. You know, weโve been travelling around getting rid of things that arenโt real, and this time they hit back. I really need someplace to stay โ but can you make sure I have some holy water or something wherever it is? And some silver-jacketed bullets? Thatโd be sweet. Yeah, thatโd be totally cool. Thanks. And while youโre at it, can you tell the guys with the straitjackets that Iโm really sane? That would help.
Lilith SaintcrowOkay. I'll deal with Benjamin. You're safe, okay? Nothing's gonna happen." His mouth pulled tight against itself. And now I was having some sort of heart attack. Because when he looked at me like that, my chest started to feel like it was turned inside out. "Promise." And thatโthe promise, the way he said it with utter certaintyโwas enough to make me tear up again.
