Some time later! Alex returned. It was dark, so he lit the way with his flashlight. The beam passed over a broken vase ... A frantic search brought him to Micah's dozing body. And by the smell of things, somebody had been drinking. Poor Homeboy. He and the doctor were really close - why hadn't Alex been more supportive? He hoisted Micah up and carried him to the bed. Then, Alex grabbed Snoopi (he refused to call the little fella Emergency Rations, even as a joke) and tucked him next to Micah. Aw. Weren't they pretty as a picture? Since he'd taken a long nap earlier, Alex felt lively enough to sweep up the broken vase and tidy the apartment. He only stubbed his toe once. Then, he sat against the wall in Micah's bedroom and played with the Rubik's cube. "..." "Stop staring at me, and go to sleep." "..." "You're awfully spooky for a little dog."

Micah awoke suddenly, he'd been having a dream involving half- chicken half-velociraptors, all evil. He shuddered, then sat up with a start when he realized someone had been talking. His heart slowed down when it saw it was Alex. " S'not spooky she's a snoopi..." He picked up the little dog and gave it a scratch around the ear. She gave his hand a lick, wagging her tail. "So...I don't think Ash is a personal trainer for the mafia after all, ends up he was a security guard or somethin' at Pan Pac. He knows the prick who threatened us with a gun. Patti told me they have a rapport. He's bloody nuts but he's not like those fuckin' shitheads is he?"

"Oh! Didn't mean to wake you up." Alex put the cube aside. "Ashley would sooner take a bullet than shoot you. I promise. He's not a security guard, either. But you're getting closer." He stood and sat on the edge of the bed. "Well, I spoke to Sarah. We're definitely seeing Victor." Alex nibbled on his thumb nail (it was an old habit that he just couldn't quit). Then, he solemnly added, "Are you going to be all right?"

Was he some kind of bodyguard perhaps? Micah quickly dismissed that idea before that infernal theme song could enter his head. He'd work it out later, no worries. "Yeah, I'll be fine but I can't say the same about my fuckin' head. It's not like I haven't dealt with this kind of shit before. Are you going to be okay Alex? He was your Dr.Uncle after all." Micah looked down at E.R sizing her up somewhat. While she indeed had some spooky qualities Micah doubted her ability to take on a chicken or heaven forbid rooster. "Do you reckon I should get another dog or a cat, something slightly more threatening to cho- , I mean ghosts?"

When Micah mentioned Dr. Uncle, Alex shook his head but didn't say anything. He preferred not to break down in front of Snoopi. "Don't get a cat. They aren't loud enough." He remembered the wild dogs near REI, particularly that scruffy pomeranian. "Hm. Maybe one of the dogs here will have puppies, or we'll find a lonely mutt outside 403. Let's adopt one and name her Elliot, and her nick name can be Ellie Bean. Hey, do you have any tattoos? If you do, I want to see. Show me your tattoos. I KNOW you have some. All sailors do." Alex shone the flashlight on Micah. "Come oooon. Don't hold out."

"Yeah, you can fucking call it Ellie bean if you want but I think I'd call it Chook destroyer or Fowl assassin. Or least something that sounds intimidating to small feathered...umm ghosts." Micah suddenly became much more focused on his patting of E.R for a few seconds. Shit, he'd mention the C word. "..." “Ha but I'm a sous chef not a sailor, I don't think they'd of let me near the fucking controls. Huh, I still wonder what happen'd to the ship, there were a few things on it that I'll fuckin' miss you know. Sounds fuckin' lame and stupid but I wish I'd been more prepared, been one of those people who keeps family photos in their wallet and shit ya know?” Micah grinned and put his hands up in resignation. “Fine, I do have one small one that I got when I was really pissed once, behind my left ear. It's pretty hidden which is sweet, it's fucking lame.” Micah turned his head around, lifting a small clump of hair and his ear back to reveal a rather small spiral tattoo with the initial ' D J' next to it. "..." He turned around again. “Why the sudden interest? Thinking of getting one to impress Chelsea? Like a nice big Mary splayed across your chest ala Romeo and Juliet?”

"GOD no. Not across my chest. It's perfect au naturale. But do you really think she'd be impressed? Maybe something on my lower back ... like a sword on fire. Fire sword. With wings. Fire sword with angel wings. Hey, on a scale of one to ten, how awkward would it be if we shared the bed? I can make a pillow wall down the middle. FORTIFICATION. Oh. And what does DJ mean? I know you were drunk, but there has to be a reason you chose those letters." He was in a chatty mood, apparently. "..."

“It's my little brother's initials. A flaming sword with wings? Whatever floats your boat. If you're looking to impress Chelsea though, I'd try something a little less permanent. It wouldn't bother me sharing the bed but the real question is, can I stop you? The couch is pretty comfy and E.R might take fucking umbrage, you'd be sleeping on what she considerers her side.” "!!!" For a silent little dog, E.R was awfully chatty.

Micah never said much about his family. Alex didn't want to be pushy, but he was curious. Maybe a more casual approach would work. "DJ, huh? I bet he's the cutest little brother. Tiny Micah! You should tell me more because I want to know everything about my Homeboy. Uh. Okay, ignore that. Speaking of tiny, you're right. That dog's tiny. If I start tossing and turning, she won't last. You're a lightweight, Spooky Snoopi." Alex patted her affectionately. "I'll sleep on the couch, then. Even though I'm wide awake now. Maybe it's time for more research. Pride and Prejudice, Micah. It is the secret to being smooth and mature." He adopted a Basilesque accent. "Chelsea, when the apocalypse concludes, I will retire to the Pike family beach manor. You are not invited, but if we reunite fortuitously at my aunt's place, that's cool, and I'll confess my love. Haha. This plot is hilarious! I should've read it during high school, instead winging that book report with Wikipedia. OKAY. Go back to sleep. But first drink a gallon of water, or your hangover tomorrow will be killer. And you should tell me more about DJ, too."

"You should speak like that all the time, it's fucking hilarious. Especially to Basil, I think the old fart misses the mother country. My brother ain't the cutest, he's only a couple years younger than me. He did make me look really tall though, poor fucker was only 5'6". Technically he's my half brother... ANYWAY. You know what, I am bloody fading here. Play it mean, keep em keen huh Alex. Good luck with that, good night mate." Micah moved hurriedly to the kitchen taking out a couple of bottles of water, he didn't feel like saying anything more about his brother. It took enough effort not to talk about him in the past tense. For all he knew his whole family were dead or worse, he'd never know. Hopefully his shithead uncle was especially dead. He began drinking his weight in water before Alex could ask him anything else. When he made it back to bed, he collapsed into the sheets and began snoring loudly again. E.R huffed at him and burrowed in his side.

Alex slept peacefully on the sofa and had the best dream of his life, but he would not remember it later. Sad.

ER- "Time is what keeps everything from happening at once." The evening moved along.

Micah returned to his apartment with what he'd secretly nicknamed 'the chicken shredder', otherwise known as Snowball. It hadn't struggled too much but it had bitten him a couple of times, a good fucking sign indeed. Although it did lick his hand afterwards, it was clearly unstable. He placed the small creature down on the floor and it proceeded to investigate the apartment. Micah sat on the couch and had a perusal of the book 'Pride and prejudice'. Alex really went for this shit? Strangely though he could not stop reading... E.R- "...."

Alex stormed into the room and paced near the couch. "Micah, Ione's messed up. Do people go insane overnight? I don't believe it. No way. She's possessed. It's the incubus. Maybe. Or something else? Mary? I don't know. Who can help? Nat? Nat might help. Exorcism. It's not too late. Doctor Bebe, uh, maybe. She can supervise, so Ione's not injured. Can't get Ashely involved. He's Catholic. How did this happen? You stay here. Be safe. But what's the next step?" He had to stop speaking to breathe, unfortunately.

Micah sat up, quickly throwing the book behind the couch. "You sound just like Mrs...I mean woah Alex, fuck! Exorcism? I know she's a bit of a bitch but that doesn't mean she is possesed. Mormons are fucking weird. Who gets up on a Saturday morning to knock on somebody's door at eight fucking thirty AM? Crazy people Alex, it's a cult. Oh umm you need to calm down. Sleep on it and maybe mention this concern to Emmett first... Oh yeah... I got the apartment a cat. Meet Snowball, destroyer of worlds."
