Mr. Stoddard chortled as he followed behind them. The guards led the way and rounded the corner to the front of the country club. Now recognizing the look of security guards (plainclothes old jerks), they saw that the club was lousy with them - due to some unnamed earlier chaos. Maybe that was why there was an old hearse in the parking lot up front.

They ascended the short stairs and went into the club. They could see into a sparsely attended lounge - it was getting a bit late - but they were quickly diverted to a less decorated hall that was obviously for use by staff. The men led them to a windowless room with banks of monitors on the wall. Nothing of interest was happening on them, but someone was being paid to stare at them relentlessly.
They sat at a table, the security guys on one side, Mona and Rudi on the other, and Stoddard stood near the door.

Rudi decided to cut to the chase. As she sat at the table, she said, "My friends are on a kill list. Take them off."

Mona scanned the room for makeshift weapons. A heavy flashlight, a baton, a golf umbrella, anything she could get to in a hurry if things went sideways.

Mona sees nothing! But the stool might work in a pinch, though it's unwieldy. The security guard looked confused and a bit scared. Stoddard grumbled "It's above your rank. OK, I'll handle this," and traded places with him. Stoddard- "Listen, I can't tell you about the specifics of anything. But tell me more about this list. How do you know about it, where did you see it, and has anyone on it died, to your knowledge?"

"Julie died in my arms last night, and my friend's leg is trapped in the cloth dimension! Don't you know anything going on in the school, or is your head ..." Rudi reconsidered being offensive. "Jen did this! And we have until midnight. What the hell are you doing here? Is this a country club or an extradimensional alien farm?"

Stoddard- "OK, take it down a notch, kid... Listen, you know the cops won't believe a word of this if you go to them, so you gotta deal with the people that are involved. Are you willing to deal with us, to save lives?"

"Yeah! What kind of vice principal are you?! There were death threat papers all over the school yesterday! EVERYWHERE! Julie is dead and Megan's being eaten by the bugs in the cloth place and I'M NOT GONNA DIE DAMMIT!"

Rudi put a comforting hand on Mona's shoulder. "I'll deal with you. To save my friends. Whatever you want."

Mona death-stared the stupid old guy and shut her mouth. She wanted to stop the dying, but she wouldn't let Rudi sacrifice herself to do it.

Stoddard- "Yeah, I heard about that... I just wanted to clarify - those are the only copies of the list you've seen?"

"Yeah, only ones ... wait, there were others?" Rudi wondered if the newer versions had HER name on them. "Oh, yeah, the mousey girl said she ended up on some new kill lists. But I didn't see them."

Stoddard- "I don't know who these people you're talking about are, but I want to assure you, we've looked into stopping this situation. As we speak, measures are being taken... There's another issue as well. What do you know about this drug situation?"

"Jesse said he and his girlfriend did it because they thought it would be funny. It wasn't funny."

Rudi considered lying about the drugs, but Stoddard was right. Nobody would believe her, so why would they kill her to cover up the drugs? And even if they did, she had to think about the greater good, her friends. "It was in the candies. I ate mine, but there are still some out there." (Lulz ninja'd.)
