I shout, "Mama would never be gone this long!" El sighs, "Scott, stop worrying. She'll come up or we'll find her." Jan slurps up homemade noodles, "He is right." Markus grabs at his forehead, "Still nothing. Puppers hops down-" He whacks his head as Puppers pushes the door open, still in his blackened form. El looks at Jan, pointing at the dog. Jan drops his chopsticks, "Puppers, you know the rules." Thadius stomps backward as Puppers walks up and huffs in Jan's face, "Please change back?" He nods and he immediately changes. Thadius punches his palm at the dog and Jess pats him, "Quit it, Thadius. He's fine." I tut, "And Rose is out there too. I'm going-" I stand up and Puppers growls at me. Jan smirks and slurps some more noodles up. I scratch my head and sit back down, "We have to do something, it was Jack, now both of those two." I lean on the table, "Carter is leaving the planet soon. If we don't kill him, it's over." El rolls his eyes, "Oh give it a rest already, Scott!" He shrugs, "Maybe give your radio a try for christ sake." I nod, "Right."

"We'll be back tomorrow with more news on the Demon Attack of the Water Treatment Plant. This will conclude the Rodney Wheelhouse Hour, stay safe everyone."

I rub my headphones around my aching ears, it's all the goddamn same. I keep getting the abridged version of everything. Carter doesn't even need to talk through radio. With a bang of my fist on the desk, I tap my finger against it and channel-surf through military signals. Carter's voice drones into the mic, "I see you copied the way we bounce off towers, Scott. Smart." I stand up and hit record, "Shit, shit!" "But the budding little Rose I've got here-" "When Norbert really gets here-" A blow lands and I grip the desk. "Also the old bitch. I'd put her on, but she's not very talkative." I grab for the mic and shout, "You fucker!" "There he is!" I jerk forward, "I'm going to kill you!" He laughs, "Listen closely. I am going to kill everyone that ever helped you. You have six hours before I leave this planet, I will be somewhere with biblical values underneath. You kill me, you save your friends, O'Malley cheers. Hayley too. Even your parents." I shout, "I don't know where that is, you bastard!" "O'Malley says Kaylin knows. He's at that military base you three were sneaking around." I jump up and a hand lands on my shoulder, I turn around to punch, but I get pushed back down into my chair, Jan throws up his hands, I mouth, "Carter". He runs upstairs and draws his gun, "Your friend did cover his tracks well, without him, I would already have you. Goodbye Scott."
