As she pulled up, she felt a sense of urgency. She had had to make an unscheduled stop at Egg Roll King to pick up a 12-pack of dangerous oil-soaked rags, so she knew she was running late.  With a skillful leap, com Man was out of the cows  and went exotically jaunting toward Fdsat Boy’s front door.  Meanwhile inside,  Fdsat Boy was panicking.  Not thinking, he tossed the dawg into a box of potato’s and then slid the box behind his refrigerator. Fdsat Boy was exasperated but at least the dawg was concealed.  The doorbell rang.

   Comae in,’ Fdsat Boy flamboyantly purred.  With a calculated push, com Man opened the door.  Sorry for being late, but I was being chased by some stupid spite-toting jerk in a hippie-pleasing hybrid vehicle,’ she lied.  It’s fine,’ Fdsat Boy assured her. com Man took a seat right next to where Fdsat Boy had hidden the dawg. Fdsat Boy shuddered trying unsuccessfully to hide his nervousness.  Huh, can I get you anything?’ he blurted.  But com Man was distracted. A few unsatisfying minutes later, Fdsat Boy noticed a dimwitted look on com Man’s face. com Man slowly opened her mouth to speak.

   ‘…What’s that smell?’

   Fdsat Boy felt a stabbing pain in his taint when com Man asked this.  In a moment of disbelief, he realized that he had hidden the dawg right by his oscillating fan. Who-what?  I don’t smell anything..!’  A lie.  A oafish look started to form on com Man’s face. She turned to notice a box that seemed clearly out of place. Th-th-those are just my grandma’s carrots from when she used to have pet disease-carrying chipmunks.  She, uh…dropped EM by here earlier. com Man nodded with fake acknowledgement…then, before Fdsat Boy could react, com Man recklessly lunged toward the box and opened it.  The dawg was plainly in view.

   com Man stared at Fdsat Boy for what what must’ve been eleven nanoseconds. Giggling like schoolgirl, Fdsat Boy groped indiscriminately in com Man’s direction, clearly desperate. com Man grabbed the dawg and bolted for the door.  It was locked. Fdsat Boy let out a curious chuckle. If only you hadn’t been so protective of that thing, none of this would have happened, com Man,’ he rebuked. Fdsat Boy always had been a little selfish, so com Man knew that reconciliation was not an option; she needed to escape before Fdsat Boy did something crazy, like… start chucking live hand grenades at him or something. As if it really mattered she gripped her dawg tightly and made a dash toward the window, diving headlong through the glass panels.

   Fdsat Boy looked on, blankly. What the hell?  That seemed excessive.  The other door was open, you know.’ Silence from com Man. And to think, I varnished that window frame nine days ago…it never ends!’ Suddenly he felt a tinge of concern for com Man. OH.  You ..okay?’ Still silence. Fdsat Boy walked over to the window and looked down. com Man was gone.
