Subject: Suddenly an alarm goes off

Stardoe looks at her screen. "Crap! One of them has escaped!"

Meanwhile...back at the Klub, the Mayor is looking glumly at a solid-gold cat dish filled with Friskies canned catfood. A solitary tear plinks onto the floor next to it. "Ah, Beemer," the Mayor sighs. "You had a good life."

The swinging door to the Klub slams open and CW stomps into the Klub. Her cardigan is dingy and gray, and unraveling at the hem. Her hair is tangled, she has a smear of something on her cheek, and a dab of blood from a torn cuticle on her skirt. She stops for a moment when she sees the Mayor, but then continues stomping over to the bar. Bubba studiously ignores her and keeps wiping the bar in a circular motion in one spot.

"Gimme a rootbeer, Bubba, and make it a double!" she roars. Bubba cocks his head, but since Kande isn't around, decides he doesn't have to obey her. CW's scowl deepens. She leans over and in an uncharacteristic move, grabs the neck of the orange jumpsuit that Kande makes him wear so she can see him better in the dark.

"I said GIVE ME A ROOTBEER! MAKE IT A DOUBLE!" spittle from CW's mouth spatters Bubba's brow. He swipes at it with the dirty dishcloth and then carelessly pours CW's rootbeer, not bothering to tilt the glass so that most of it is foam. CW grabs it from him, swigs it, belches, and immediately demands another.

The Mayor cautiously sidles next to her. "What's the matter with you?"

CW slams the second rootbeer on the bar, causing both the Mayor and Bubba to jump. "It's not what's wrong with me, it's that new secret trapdoor at Stardoe's. I fell in with KS and then Kande fell in, and..." CW is waving her hands as she talks and another fine spray of spittle flies out her mouth. Clearly, she is way overexcited. The Mayor slides some tranquilizers over to her and CW nods her acceptance. CW takes one and slides down into a booth and motions the Mayor to join her, which she promptly does. CW puts her head in her hands. "You know how the Kande sisters are when they're in a small space together."

The Mayor nods. "They get all weepy and start singing songs from their youth."

"Horrible! I can't tell you what damage has been done both to my ears and my psyche."

The Mayor snorts. "Tell me about it. Try having them stay at your house for a week sometime."

Charlotte shudders. "Not in this lifetime." She suddenly has a thought. "Say, Bubba, how did you get out of that pit?"

Bubba pantomimes opening a door. Charlotte sighs. "And I climbed out. Figures."

The three sit together companionably for a few minutes. Then CW stirs and looks curiously at the gold catdish. "Beemer?"

The Mayor wipes a tear from her eye and nods. "I was just thinking about setting a memorial for him. What do you think about having it on the 10th?"

CW pulls out a small calendar from a local card store. "I'll have to check my calendar. Let's see...*Gasp!*"

"What's wrong? What's happening on the 10th?" The Mayor and Bubba immediately pull out their calendars. The Mayor groans when she sees the date and Bubba pales. The three look at each other in horror.

"KS's birthday!"
