Chapter 5

As the ambulance pulled to the front of the emergency room, Doctor kincaid drank the last of his beer and put his surgery mask on. From what he could understand from the emergency call, this was going to be a long night and he had missed most of happy hour.

The ambulance screeched to a halt in front of the emergency room door. The driver hopped out and ran to the back of the vehicle. He tried to open the back door, but it was locked.

He knocked on the door for about one hour before someone inside unlocked the door. They pulled the gurney from the back of the vehicle and wheeled it into the emergency room.

Dr. Kincaid waited in room 3.

The paramedics wheeled the gurney to room 2.

Chapter 6

“That was a close call,” said Dr. Kincaid. “We almost lost him a few times there.”
Cascadilla nodded her head.

“Recovery should take 3 days,” he continued. “The rehabilitation will take some time though.”

Cascadilla nodded her head.

“I would expect him to be fully healed in about a week,” he continued again.

Cascadilla nodded her head.

“I have gas,” he continued yet again.

Cascadilla left the room.

Chapter 7

Young Perkchip ran around the living room as Sh’tstane and Cascadilla sat at the kitchen table. Every so often, Perkchip would run headfirst into a wall and laugh as the blood spewed from his ears.

“It is my duty to join the foreign legion,” said Sh’tstane.

“It is your duty to be a father and a husband,” said Cascadilla.

“But it is my duty to join the foreign legion,” said Sh’tstane.

“Exactly,” said Cascadilla.

Chapter 8

Perkchip stuck the fork in his eyeball as the Colonel sat with Cascadilla on the front porch.

“He just disappeared,” said the Colonel.

“Oh,” said Cascadilla.

“Would you like to try and find him?” asked the Colonel.

“I suppose that would be wise,” said Cascadilla as she removed the silver dollar from Perkship’s nose.

Chapter 9

“How did you find me?” asked Sh’tstane.

“Women’s intuition.” said Cascadilla.

“Wow,” said Sh’tstane.

Chapter 10

Perkchip sat in the middle of the kitchen, gleefully hacking at his toes with a meat cleaver.

“Last night I was abducted by aliens and…..” began Sh’tstane.

“Probed?” asked Cascadilla softly.

“Yes,” answered Sh’tstane. “Probed. I was probed.”

Chapter 11

Jorge held the gun to Sh’tstane’s head.

“I was the one who loved her,” said Jorge as tobacco dribbled down his chin.

Cascadilla picked up the ax and advanced on Jorge from behind.

Chapter 12

“Hey,” said Jorge, “that was was pretty funny.”

They all laughed as the alien turned and waved to them. They waved back as the alien disappeared into a green cloud.

“This is something we shall share with the whole world,” said Sh’tstane.

Perkchip held his severed pinky up to Cascadilla as she patted him on the head.
