Zombies'n'S**t Ep. 20

The Surgery Went.........Well....

Mary delved deeper into my chest until she found my heart.  When she pulled it out, we both looked at it.  You know, normally, I would crack wise and be all smarmy and funny (shut up, I am), but looking at my heart dripping a brownish mucus made me pause.

Okay, that is freaking disgusting.

Seriously.  What the hell?  Even Mary looked about ready to gag.  Hey, not while standing over me, chica.  It may be nasty in there, but it is still mine.  She held her hand over her mouth, "Ugh.  Some sort of mucus seems to be generated continuously from certain.....parts.  One thing seems to be certain: they are able to produce something.  Even if it is this.........stuff.  What I don't understand is why they produce that but nothing else.  I should think they would produce various other substances.  They are obviously capable of some kind of bodily functions- even if they are not the functions standard humans have."

As she stood there, heart held aloft like that demented cultist in Indiana Jones, Sophia walked in looking mighty grumpy, "Max wanted me to talk to you."  She was pouting.  She was cute when she was pouting.  You know, like a puppy?  Just makes you want to bite their little heads off, dunnit?  Maybe that was just me.

Mary looked away from my innards and gave Sophia a level look, "You were supposed to watch him.  You can't just walk away.  What if he would have escaped?"  Sophia plunged her hands in the pockets of her jeans angrily, "What do you want from me?  I cleaned up after it!  Isn't that enough?  And what if it did escape?  Max can stop it."

Once again, why Mary was nicer than Sophia.  Mary called me him not it.  Although, her cutting me open kinda lost her points.

Mary shook her head and rested her hand with my heart on the table, but didn't put it back, "Sophia, you can't just ignore what we tell you.  This is life and death, here."

Yeah, Sophia, listen to DOCTOR FREAKIN' FRANKENSTEIN!

"her cutting me open kinda lost her points" is my favorite line in this section.
I'm interested in the brown mucus. I wonder if it has anything to do with - was it top hat guy? It's been awhile since I read the first few episodes.
