There before Manny, was Shrignold draped across the couch with Robin's rubber ducky gliding smoothly across his fingers. With the rubber ducky weaving through his fingers, Shrignold turned to Manny with a mischievous grin looming across his face. With his high pitched, squeaky voice, Shrignold cackled, "Well, well, well. My boy, how does it feel to have fresh blood on your hands? I think you should try it more often. The color suits you."

"H-h-how did you know about what I did, and "fresh" blood? What does that mean?"

"Word travels fast, sweetie. Do you really not remember what happened to Harry's sister, Heather?"

"D-d-did I k-kill her? I killed Harry's sister?"

"Well, yes, sweetheart. Yes, you did. Why did you think Harry said if you hurt anyone else when he was talking to you on the phone? He knows, and he will NOT let you get away with it."

"W-w-what do I-I do?"

"Run. You run, Manny. Run and never come back."
