Chapter 35

"Rick!" A voice cried out from behind the door. Rick rose up from the couch. He opened the door to Sena.

"How is she?" Sena looked over to Maru, who was wrapped in a blanket. Rick smiled sadly. "I guess she could be better." Sena looked around the room. "How"s Chris...?" Rick frowned. "I dunno, why don"t ya ask him?" Sena sighed. "Because he won"t answer mine, or Abbey"s calls." Rick scratched his head, and let out a sigh. "I"m sorry for such a short stay, but I have to go back downstairs to make sure there aren"t any customers who come by." As she took a step, they heard a whine. Sena, and Rick quickly turned around. "Sena..." Maru whimpered. Sena quickly went over. "What is it, Maru...?" She said, pulling the blanket off the girls head, stroking her hair. "Please..." Maru began. "Don"t leave..." Sena caressed her face. "I"m sorry Maru," she smiled. "But I have to do my job." Maru"s lip quivered. "Bye bye." Sena said, as she waved to Maru. As she pa.s.sed Rick, who was leaning near the door, she stopped. "I may not know you as The Reaper," she paused, and looked at him. "However, I know you as the Rick we all believe in," she looked down, smiling. "And that includes Maru." Ricks eyes widened. "Please, take care of yourselves." She said, walking out the door. Rick stood there a moment, then chuckled. "That so?" He whispered to himself.
