Around the same time in the Olduvai lab, Portman got done sending the message as he lastly spoke. "I repeat, require immediate B.S.A.A. reinforcements."

Portman then sent the transmission as he suddenly heard loud noises coming from inside the bathroom.

Around the same time, Sarge hadn't heard any response from Destroyer or Portman. John reported that he came across the same creature they encountered, but lost it after it fell in the sewers. Sarge finds Destroyer's weapon as he spoke through his comm. "Destroyer, Portman, where the hell are you?"

Sarge entered the cellblock and he found Destroyer, dead in the holding cell.

Around the same time in the restroom, Portman opened the bathroom stall door to check what the noise was, only to find that the noise was coming from a white rat.

Portman chuckled as he backed up to the bathroom stall, only to be grabbed in the face by a claw hand that belonged to a Licker as Portman was pulled up to the ceiling and he was being swung back and forth while dangling upside down while screaming.

John and The Kid arrived in time as they started shooting at the Licker. Sarge then arrived as he fired the Fusil Gauss Cannon as it unleashed a liner power that killed the Licker, but created a large hole in the ceiling.

Sarge looked at Fusil Gauss Cannon as he spoke. "Holy smokes."

The Kid walked over to Portman to check for a pulse. The Kid turned his head around to Sarge and shook his head that there was no pulse as he stated. "He's gone."

Around the same time at Fort Chicken Elementary, Clint and Sabrina were in the library as they were waiting for the right opportunity to reunite with the others.

Sabrina was standing up as she complained. "This is, like, the worst Monday ever."

Sabrina started crying as she sat down on little sofas as Clint sat by her. Sabrina then placed her head on Clint's chest while crying.

Clint heard a distant pound as he spoke. "This probably isn't the greatest timing, but I have a confession to make. When I saw you this morning, I was only pretending to be surprised. I knew you taught here."

"Wait, really?" Sabrina asked Clint as she got her head off of Clint's chest.

Clint cleared his throat as he started confessing. "I've been pretty depressed lately, and I just wanted to see you. It's--it's stupid. I mean, we-- we haven't had a conversation in, like, 15 years. I guess I kinda missed you somehow. Sorry, that's-- that's so creepy."

"No. It's not creepy. I'm just surprised. I heard you were in New York following your dream of being a writer." Sabrina assured Clint.

Clint was taken back at that as he confessed again. "Oh, well, I have another confession to make. Remember when I--I said I--I wasn't a teacher? That was a lie, too. That's what I was doing in New York."

"Really?" Sabrina asked Clint after they both lightly laughed.

"Yeah. Yeah, I've been teaching first grade for two years. I mean, I thought I would have free time to write, on my free time, but as it turns out, there is no free time."

The two lightly laughed again as Clint continued. "Teaching's the hardest job in the world. And I would look out at the kids in my class, and I--I found myself getting jealous of them. They have the whole world ahead of them. Their whole lives ahead of them. They have all these opportunities that have already passed me by."

Clint sees Sabrina wanting to say something as he asked. "What?"

"Nothing, I was...gonna tell you that you were wrong, but you sort of have a point." Sabrina explained to Clint.
