Chapter 78

“That explains the blast aboard her ship, if she asks, but how do you explain this one?” I pointed behind us as we gave some distance to the wreckage.

She gazed at my point. “We don’t. Topaz will lead Blondella to what’s left of her boat. All we’ve done is created a temporary diversion for you. Plus, she’ll now have to explain why she had explosives on her in the first place, and that, I suppose, will take a good bit of time.”

“And what if her guards warn her of our escape before she makes it to her boat?”

She smiled. “How will a bunch of zombies open the now-locked door they’re trapped behind?” Seems a certain drag queen or two had been busy during our brief incarceration.

Lola asked a question for a question. “And why free us now, so soon I mean? I thought Topaz was going to handle things, find out what she could and then put a plan into action.”

VaVa’s smile remained. “She did, she did, and you are.”

“Lost me,” I commented, not for the first time or the last.
