Book 2
It's been a year since The Judgment Day.
A lot has changed since then.

Sam was talking on his cell phone. The wall behind him is covered with research.
Sam " Yeah, I hear you. All right. Well, thanks for looking. Yep. Bye. 2
He hung up "So, Nora didn't see any pattern to the dig sites either. "
He sat down on the sofa next to me.
I nodded "Yeah, 'cause they got nothing in common. And I got nothing from local lore 50 miles in every direction of all of them. I mean, it's like they're just... old dirt. What's Dick looking for?"
I took a sip of my flask.
The lights flickered.
Dean came into the room and we all took our guns out.
Dad appeared "Hey, hey, go easy, you idjits. "
We took our guns down.
Dad "Sorry for the jump scare. "
Dean " So how does this work, huh? Leny leaves the cap off and you just genie your way out? "
Dad sighed "I wish it were that easy. The thing – "

Dean "You've been pretty busy for a dead guy. "
Dad nodded "All right. Listen. I-I don't know how long before my next ghost nap, so let's just skip to the skinny – those numbers I gave you. "

Sam opened the laptop.

The laptop screen showed Geothrive's "Standard plans for an efficient slaughterhouse".
Dad "Biotech my ass. That sucker is a state-of-the-art slaughterhouse. And we're the beef. "
Sam "Don't you think that's a little bold, even for Dick? "
Dad " I bet you no one will even notice ... 'cause first, he's gonna dumb us all down with Turducken-style munchies. Make us docile. It's in the meat."
