sunshine_queen | Damn those wolves! (Reply)

I have to quote this because I've been laughing for twenty minutes over this. And it's a long, huge, serrrrious J/I fic, but now we're with college Syd and- just read:

"Where have you been?" Francie said, gesturing at her watch. "Your class has been out for, like, two minutes. Maybe two and a half. We can't have you dragging ass over here."

Syd rolled her eyes in mock annoyance. "Wolves. I was attacked by wolves."

"I hate it when that happens." Will punched his straw through the lid of his strawberry milkshake. "Man, L.A. - first it's the traffic, then it's the crime, and then it's the packs of wolves."

"We should declare the wolves a gang." Charlie lifted his head from his bar-review books only long enough to smile a greeting at Sydney. "Then the other gangs would take 'em out."

"Use the crime problem to solve the wolf problem." Will nodded and gestured emphatically with a fry. "Good thinking, Charlie."
