Chapter 13: What Now?
"Huh," grunted Lust when I pulled the trigger. Thanks to the suppressor, Teddy's ears weren't ringing, but I could still feel the vibrations through my body from the recoil. "That was actually a pretty good shot. Then again, these zombies don't seem to be fighting back. Maybe she's like a dead clock. They tell the correct time twice a day, after all."
Swinging my arm around, I tipped my gun so that the muzzle was pointing up the stairs. "That's cute coming from someone who is just a voice," I replied, a smirk on my face. Finding Lust's presence wasn't that hard; he felt the same way Greed and Pride did.
But finding where on him I wanted to shoot... that was a bit harder.
Squeezing the trigger, I fired off a shot into nothing.
"That was my dick!" screamed Lust, and I couldn't help my bark of laughter. "You just tried to shoot me in the dick!"
"You know, sometimes, the small brain doesn't work as well as the bigger one. Maybe you should pay attention to what the bigger brain is tellin' you," I replied, spinning back around so that I was once again facing the same direction the moans were coming from.
"Seriously, Lust, what are you bitching about now?" sighed Envy, and I realized that the whole family was here now. "It's not like she actually managed to hit you. Your precious appendage is still safe and sound back in our own world."
"It's called mens rea," sneered Lust. "Look it up sometime. She had the mental desire to commit the crime, so she is just as guilty as if she acted on those thoughts."
"At your ten," sighed Pride, clearly trying to change the topic as he helped me line up my next kill. It would work better if he was actually touching me, but this worked, too.
