Eddie, over several hours, managed to explain practically everything he knew: from the police officer to the shipwreck. Once he had finished, the three people he still couldn't believe were actually adults began to piece things together.
"So, " Peter slumped in the café chair. "We can't trust anyone... They could all be... Nobodies."
MJ placed a hand on his shoulder. "Yeah. Except us. I still trust you guys."
"Of course! We have to stick together!" Ned grinned. "Otherwise we'll get eaten by some alien with, like, a really long head."
"You watch too many movies, man."
They laughed as the food arrived.

"Of course. Don't tell them everything though. We still don't know who to trust." He bit into the muffin.

"And we can't get the Wizard to fix it because of reasons."
"Well... Yea-"
His sentence was cut short by the rock thrown through the window.
