Stoddard- "Jesse... Bagger?"

"No, Uncle Jesse from Full House. Of course it was Bagger, he's a total psycho."

Stoddard- "Good, good. I'll let you know that we had our suspicions about him, and that will be handled as well... I can understand why you're in a panic, but rest assured the rest of that list, it will not be completed. The drugs are a more serious issue because they can have flashbacks, and those studying the situation are not sure how long that goes on for, but there's some advice for that if you want to hear it."

Mona looked at Rudi with concern. She didn't want to forget about Megan, but she knew Rudi needed to be prepared for any flashbacks.

"I'd appreciate it," Rudi said. "And while you're at it, do these great minds know why a girl's foot would be trapped in two dimensions?"

Stoddard looked at his hand and let out a long low breath, then back up at the girls. Stoddard- "There's more to the world than science and Christianity want us to believe. You were not meant to know about these things, and if you're lucky, you can go back to not knowing pretty soon. About the girl's foot... I've heard of things like that before. It's a kind of chaos that no one understands and no one can do anything about. But sometimes sequestering oneself a la Howard Hughes can make it easier to deal with over time. And for the drug, will is a factor. Sometimes if a person feels nausea, they can calm down and breathe slowly until it passes. In a similar way, you can keep yourself where you want to be. Do you have anything else you'd like to address?"

"Yeah. Who got our friend killed and what's gonna be done about it?"

The old bastard shook his head. Stoddard- "You know the world is full of injustice. Like I said, if you're smart, it won't happen to you and it won't happen again. Gentlemen?" People began moving to facilitate the girls being marched out.

As they moved to escort her out, Rudi exclaimed, "Really? Nothing? Nothing we can do for Megan? NO! What ... what if we cut off her leg?" She tugged on her hair with evident frustration. "Ahhh. No, no, that's no good ... I won't give up!"

Stoddard- "You have some idea what she's up against - maybe that can be helpful." They walked a bit more slowly on the way out, a sense of defeat almost hanging over the men as well as the girls. It was a somber Halloween night.

Mona started thinking about alternate revenge. Maybe she could kill Jen and run away. No, whatever evil these guys had, it could probably get her anywhere. Maybe she could devise some long-running, non-lethal revenge. She'd have to think about it. She followed the men and Rudi out of the office and down the hall.

Quietly, to Mona, Rudi said, "He's right, you know. There's no justice in nature." She grinned mirthlessly. "There's a lot of cruelty, though. It's a good thing the cops didn't get Jen. Prison isn't cruel enough for her."

They walked past the lounge and saw some people in polo shirts talking hastily with a guy that looked like a Klan wizard. Polo Guy- "Those assholes fucked up the whole works, Tyler! There's no telling... God damn it!" Mrs. Polo Guy- "I'm so worried! I just, I feel like I'm going to vomit!" Tyler- "You'll lose your rank for certain, and may face graver censure besides. Know humility!" Stoddard hustled them the rest of the way out to the plaza...

Out on the plaza, it was dark and the country club looked miserable in the murk. Bright lights near the building illuminated little. As they walked toward the parking lot (hoping to run into Mi out there), they suddenly noticed that one of a small group of teens standing nearby, drinking iced teas was.. Jen- "... and that's what I'm doing tonight after this. What do you think, Tiff?" Tonight she wasn't wearing a costume, but did have devil horns perched on her head.

Rudi stared wide-eyed at Mona. She twitched with anger and adrenaline. "Look. At. That."
