But then, they won't tell anybody because they're dead.

Anyhoo, KS and Bubba have gone down to the torture chamber to pick up some drills, screw drivers, and a new battery for the spaceship they've stored in that big barn-like structure in Stardoe's backyard.

"What do you think Stardoe used that building for anyway?" KS asks Bubba. It's a rhetorical question, because she knows Bubba doesn't know and wouldn't answer her anyway. Bubba just shrugs.

"I bet she used it for all that exercise equipment she buys and then doesn't use," KS chuckles, thinking of her own highly utilized weight room with it's large side room for practicing her tai chi sword and other weapons. She also has a shooting room, a bomb building area, flamethrowing room, and hanging gallery. In fact, the entire area beneath her house is honeycombed with rooms that each have their own unique purpose. Even Kande hasn't seen the majority of the rooms.

Bubba heaves a silent sigh. KS is usually the most tactiturn of the humans, but tonight she's on a positive yakking streak. Bubba doesn't understand the human race's compulsion to constantly talk about things of no importance. He also doesn't understand why they exercise all the time. If their bodies were the streamlined machine that his is, they wouldn't need to exercise. Every ounce of food that entered their mouths would go directly to sustaining their bodies. Why, until Bubba crashed on the Earth's surface in this godforsaken town, he never had a bowel movement! Nobody on his planet has a toilet. Bubba blames it on carbs and rootbeer.

Bubba packs up the gear in his backpack and shifts it over his shoulder. KS is still talking a mile a minute. Bubba realizes that it must be JD's poker night. Why, bless her dear heart, KS must be lonely! Bubba vows to pay better attention.

Three hours later when they enter Stardoe's dark yard, Bubba is ready to tear out his nonexistant hair. Will this woman never shut up? He thought assassins were the strong, silent type. Suddenly, he notices a movement in the shadows in front of the building and a low, humming noise. He tugs on KS's sleeve and there is blessed silence. She finally quit talking! But then she opens her mouth again.

"What in tarnation is that?"
