Later on, SeaBoy is walking up to an abandoned building. Numerous windows are boarded up, and the bottom of the walls have damp. He nervously walks in through the front door. There's police tape everywhere, cordoning off various rooms. As he slowly walks through the house, it gets darker and darker - there's barely any light coming into the house, what with all the windows being boarded up. He switches on his flashlight, and heads on up the stairs. When he gets to the first floor, he looks around some more, noticing that there isn't as much police ribbon as there was downstairs. As he walks into a room at the end of the corridor, he bumps into something, falling over, dropping his torch. He gets up, cursing himself, and dusting himself. He reaches down to pick up the torch, and notices something in the beam of light - there's a crack in the wood panelling running along the bottom of the wall. He shines the lightbeam up the wall, and sees the thin crack runs all the way up the wall, to the ceiling. He pushes on it, and it falls in slightly, before swinging open. SeaBoy looks shocked, but walks through the door nonetheless. Inside the room, are a number of beds, with bodies on them. Gulping madly, SeaBoy approaches one of the beds, and looks away, as he shines the torch-light over the head. Eventually, he looks over, and is so shocked that he drops the torch light again. Slowly reaching down, he picks it up, never looking away from the body's head. When he finally shines the light back on the body, we see what we saw - it's him. Or rather, his face on the body. He shines the light on the body next to it, and it's him again. He continues to do this, with the same result - each body in here is him. SeaBoy looks confused, and stunned.

At Dandy's apartment, ABM knocks on the door. There's no answer, so he gets out his key and opens the door. Inside, there isn't anybody around. ABM walks in, and heads straight for the bedroom. While he's in there, the phone rings. It goes instantly to the answering machine, and we hear Dandy leaving a message. She says that if he's there, not to worry about waiting for her - she, Phaedra and AngelX will be heading down to Gemma's later, once they've gotten rid of all Stormy's bugs from the offices. She hangs up, and ABM smiles. He pulls out his shirt from the wardrobe, and walks out of the room. He's about to leave the apartment, when he stops. He looks around, thinking. He mutters to himself that it "can't hurt", then goes back into Dandy's bedroom. He begins to look around, first innocently looking through the contents of her bedside table. He looks around, and then goes back into the wardrobe, digging through the pile of empty shoe-boxes and Gucci bags at the bottom. Not finding anything, he sits down, saying that this is stupid, Dandy hasn't done anything. He plays with the sheeting that comes off Dandy's bed, right to the floor, flicking it up and down in his hand while he looks around. Suddenly, he notices something under the bed. Quizzically, he pulls it out - its the large suitcase, which we know contains the sniper rifle. He opens it up, and is shocked to see the sniper rifle inside.

Over at Gemma's restaurant, people have started to pile in. At the bar, Gemma and LB are serving people, with Oracle trying it on with Willows Familiar. He's being gracious, and talking, not realising he's being come onto. Salty rolls her eyes, and starts talking to Es about her trip. Es mentions that they went to Tokyo, and Salty exclaims that she's been there, although it was a while ago. They begin to compare notes on the city, as we zoom over to Veggie and gretch in one corner, Veggie filling gretch in on everything that's happened while they've been gone.

At the hospital, SeaBoy comes into Wolfshrub's room. She's getting dressed, adding the finishing touches to her hair. She points out that it feels wierd to be doing this, seeing as from her perspective she's never had this much hair before. Laughing, she asks if he's ready to "take her out", and he nods, nervously. Wolfshrub notices something's wrong, and she asks him what the matter is. He sits down, and says he started looking for TomSmeagol. She stops fiddling with her hair, and turns to him, asking why he's so "off". He says that Agent Wiggin gave him an address, and he went there earlier. He stops, and Wolfshrub asks what he found there. He says that he found himself there, and she cracks a joke about him going on a spiritual journey, before she realises what he means. He says that there were literally eight or nine copies of himself - it seems that the original Other SeaBoy wasn't the only clone Tom made. Wolfshrub looks like she's about to be sick, and she says that was what she saw, what she dreamt. SeaBoy asks what she means, and Wolfshrub takes his hand, saying that while she was in the coma, that was part of the "life" she lead. She asks what this could mean, and SeaBoy says that he doesn't know - but it can't be good.

Short musical montage, set to Semisonic's "Closing Time": People at the restaurant, having a good time; Toothy in his jail cell, staring up at his ceiling, counting silently to himself; SeaBoy and Wolfshrub joining the party, with Wolfshrub mobbed by people who think that "Shrub's awake!"; ABM, sitting in Dandy's apartment, the sniper rifle laid out in front of him, dried tears on his face; Dandy, AngelX and Phaedra at the party, with Dandy looking around for ABM; Jay at the hospital, watching as Morgain is taken into an ambulance by two plain-clothed paramedics; Stormy walking down a dark road, smiling to herself.

In the FBI jail, Amber sits at the end of her bed, watching Toothy. Suddenly, the lights in the corridor go out, and Amber comes to stand at the front of her cell. She hears a very quiet "thud", and when the lights come back on, Stormy stands there, walking down to Toothy's cell. Nonchalantly, he gets up, as Stormy starts to work the lock on his cell. He tells her that she's late, and she replies that there was "an opportunity she couldn't pass up". She manages to open up the door to Toothy's cell, and Amber asks what she's doing. Stormy turns around abruptly, and apologises, saying she wasn't expecting company. Toothy looks at Amber, and tells Stormy not to worry, if Amber was going to do anything to stop them she'd have done it by now. He turns to Stormy and asks if the camera's have been taken care of, and she says that she hijacked their feed over an hour ago. They begin to walk down to the end of the corridor, where there's a gap in the ceiling, when Toothy stops. He turns back, and tells Stormy that they'll be taking one more with them. She asks what he means, and he walks back to Amber's cell. He looks her in the eye, and says that he could use someone like her. She stands back, as Stormy reluctantly opens her cell. Amber joins them in the corridor, and the three of them walk up the where Stormy came in. Stormy vaults up, and she extends her arm down for Toothy. He takes it, and goes up into the ceiling. She then puts her arm down for Amber, he looks back at her cell. After some goading from Stormy to hurry up, she takes the extended arm, and clambers up into the ceiling too.

Over at the party, LB asks Wolfshrub what it's like to be out of the coma, and to realise that life has gone on without her. Salty laughs, and apologises for LB's lack of tact. Wolfshrub happily nods, telling her not to worry about it. She says that its kinda normal, but not - like she missed a few episodes of her favourite soap, and now everything doesn't make sense, but she's slowly getting caught up. She laughs at herself, asking if that made any sense. Oracle nods that it did, and he says that he's missed her while she was in hospital. Sweetly, she nods, while looking over at SeaBoy, who's sullenly drinking his beer at the corner of the bar. At the entrance, ABM walks in, looking morose. Dandy comes over, and asks him why he's been so long. He says that he had some stuff to sort out, at the last minute. He asks if they can step outside for the moment, and Dandy looks slightly confused, but she does so anyway.

Outside, Dandy asks what this is all about, and ABM asks her why she lied. Dandy asks what he's talking about, and ABM suddenly shouts, telling her not to play games with him anymore. He asks her why she did it, why she shot Shrub. Dandy contines to act bemused, until ABM informs her that he found it - the sniper rifle. The one they found in the hotel room, after Joe Camel was shot. Dandy falls silent. He sarcastically asks her if she doesn't have a lie for that. She just looks up at him, with pleading eyes. He says that he can't believe he got played by her, for so long. All this time, she was mocking him. Dandy begins to talk, saying that it was never like that. ABM angrily asks her what it was like, if it wasn't a betrayal. Dandy meekly says that she was just doing what she thought was right, and ABM gets even angrier, asking her if she really thought it was right to shoot an innocent like Shrub. He begins to cry again, and calms down a bit. He asks how she managed to get it out of police custody, and she said that Toothy did. He has members of the force in his pocket. ABM says he doesn't believe any of this, and he begins to walk away. Dandy runs to stop him, and asks him to look at it from her point of view. He shrugs her off, and says that her point of view doesn't mean anything. She's a liar, a murderer, and worst of all - he fell for it. The whole act. He says that he can't believe he's been such a chump. He points into the bar, and says that AngelX was right about her all along - she's nothing but trouble.

In the restaurant, people are generally having a good time. Jaymzangel walks in, and walks up to the bar. She asks Gemma what's going on with ABM and Dandy outside, and Gemma looks over. She says that she doesn't know, and then asks Jay why she looks so sullen. Jay mentions that she sent Morgain off to rehab today. Gemma looks stunned, and says she didn't even realise Morgain had a problem, with anything. Jay says that its always the ones you don't suspect, as she perks up, saying that she needs a drink. Gemma offers her a free tequila, on the house. The camera pans out, and we see the whole scene of people having fun, laughing, enjoying themselves. It's a hell of a party.

Back outside, ABM stands with his back to Dandy. She stands there, her hands folded. She gently asks what's going to happen now. ABM wipes the tears way, and turns to face her. In a low, calm voice, he tells her to leave. Pack her things, and get out of The Boards before morning. He doesn't expect to see her at work the next day. Dandy pleads, asking if they can't work this out, and reaches for his hands. ABM pulls away, saying that there's nothing to work out. She needs to leave - if she isn't gone by morning, he'll call the police, tell them everything. She begins to cry, saying that this is never what she wanted, and ABM says that she should've thought of that before she shot Shrub and Joe. Just then, he pauses, and says that "it was her". Dandy looks confused, asking him what now. ABM says that it was her who reported Amber to the police. Dandy doesn't deny it. ABM says that after everything, she still went behind his back. He's about to turn away from her again, when suddenly there's a huge explosion in the restaurant. He and Dandy both duck, looking on in horror. There's more explosions, and the force of the blows send ABM and Dandy flying to the ground.

Across the way, at the top of the MNA Hotel, Toothy stands, looking down at the burning ruins of the restaurant. He smiles, and turns to Stormy and Amber behind him. He congratulates Stormy on a job well done, as they all walk off camera, back into the building.

Thanks for all your continued interest in these little vignettes, guys. Sadly, though, I need a break to recharge the creative juices. Also, so that I can decide who's going to survive this fracas. I'll give you a little hint: ABM and Dandy will :P

So, anyway, I don't know when I'll pick up the story again. It all depends on whether you guys want another series, or would prefer something to just wrap up the current storylines, and then for the show to go away forever. It's up to you guys.

Well, have fun over this little hiatus! And if you're interested, I'll be starting a Buffy spinoff shortly - keep an eye on my LJ for deets on that one.

ABM
