"Houston, we...We have a problem here", Stu announced to the room.

"What?", Billy also turned to him, away from where he was taunting Sidney with the knife.

"The gun, man. The gun", Stu continued to tap the empty space. "I put it right there, and it's not there."

"You sure you left it there?", Matilda asked him walking to stand next to him.

"Where the fuck is it?", Billy ran forward and slightly pushed Stu and Matilda to the side.

"Right here, asshole", the sound of the gun cocking and Gale Weathers voice made them look up.

And it was not a pretty sight to say the least as she was pretty banged up from when she crashed into a tree.

"Man, I thought she was dead", Billy asked looking to Stu.

"She looked dead, man", he told him, looking Gale over. "Still does."

"I've got an ending for you", Gale spoke, ignoring Stu's comments on her appearance as she pointed the gun at them. "The reporter left for dead in the news van...comes to, stumbles on you three dipshits...finds the gun, foils your plan and saves the day."

"I like that ending", Sidney smiled as she for once agreed with one of Gales stories.

"Shame, could've been a best seller", Matilda winked as Gale looked at her confused.

"I know something you don't", Billy said confidently, not caring for the gun pointed at him as he walked forward.

Scared Gale pulled the trigger, nothing happening as it just clicked and Billy continued walking forward, grabbing the gun from her hands and kicking her back out the front door.

Gale flying back and landing on top of Dewey's still body that was laying on the patio, hitting her head as she passed out.

"Yeah, man", Stu cheered as he waved at Gales body.

"Yeah. Aw, so sweet", Billy breathed deeply as he knelt down next to her body putting the gun to her head. "It worlds better without the safety on."

Cracking his neck, Billy stood up and pointed the gun down at Gale. "This is Gale Weathers signing off."

"Baby, you're gonna love this!", Stu turned to say that to Sidney.

Only turning to see Matilda on the floor groaning in pain and Sidney nowhere to be seen.

"Shit", Stu said aloud.

"What?", Billy turned to look at him to see what the problem was now, seeing Stus face and Matilda on the floor in pain.

Walking back into the kitchen Stu walked around the island once before kneeling down to Matilda.

"What happened, Tils?", he asked as she held her shoulder more tightly.

"She touched my hole, Stu", Matilda cried out. "I feel violated."

""Where are they? Where are they?", Billy paced around the kitchen looking for Sidney and her father.

"I don't know, but I'm hurtin', man", Stu coughed.

The phone in the kitchen then started to ring loudly as all threes eyes darted in the direction.

"Fuck!", Billy cursed.

"Should I let the machine get it?", Stu asked looking to Billy.

Billy ignoring him as he walked forward and picked up the phone. "Hello?"
