Sluggy of the Living Freelance is the fifth story in chapter 3 of Sluggy Freelance, Holiday Seasons. Zoë needs a break from school and work, and Riff and Torg invite her to a relaxing weekend in a house in the woods. What could go wrong? Back home, Sam introduces Torg to the ferret Kiki and mentions that he found a way to have the other animals make money for him, as door-to-door salesmen. Kiki starts (to try) playing with Bun-bun, and Sam is worried about Bun-bun... he should be worried about Kiki, obviously. The other animals finally leave Sam and buy a mansion.
