When Tyler awoke, the wolves were gone, replaced by friendlier faces.
"Get up lazy bones! We gotta get back to the bunker!" He heard someone familiar yell. "Georgia, how did you find me?" Tyler asked, puzzled at how the "shoot first ask questions later" member of the team was able to figure out his whereabouts. "Alyssa helped me," Georgia explained, "she said you like this route the best."
Alyssa was Tyler's girlfriend and he knew he could always count on her, no matter what kind of trouble he was in.
"Well I'm glad you got rid of the wolves," Tyler said gratefully.
"Oh that wasn't me," Georgia replied, "Dan blew the mines."
"WHAT!?" Tyler screamed in disbelief. "He told me PERSONALLY to be careful with the blubber bubble because it was just a prototype!"
"Then I guess you'll have to take that up with him when we get back," Georgia chocked out, barely stifling her laughter.
"Oh you know I will." Tyler answered, in a deathly calm. "You know I will."

When Tyler and Georgia opened the blast proof door they arrived to Dan and their other friend Sally casually playing cards as if nothing had happened. "Oh good your back!" Dan said excitedly, "What kind of food did you find?"
"Anything you want to say Dan?" Tyler asked coldly.
"Umm, Sally? Didn't I ask you NOT to tell Georgia how I got rid of those mutts?"
"I can't recall," Sally replied smugly, as she loved getting Dan into trouble with their leader. Tyler tossed the food to Sally as she went to her kitchenette to prepare dinner.
"Dan when I'm done with you, you'll wish the bubble blubber failed," Tyler threatened and smiled while Dan squirmed. "Blubber bubble," Dan corrected, unable to stop himself.
"You dare correct me!?" Tyler bellowed, but only got halfway through before he burst out laughing at Dan's terror.
"I'm sorry sir! No excuse sir! It won't happen again sir!" Dan saluted before going over to Sally to help with the food.
"Hey, where's Alyssa?"
