Mac and I retraced my steps and stared intently at the tiled floor in search of the Dove.
"How could you lose it?" Mac said incredulously.
"Sorry, I was a little preoccupied with fleeing and saving Kemp's life" I rolled my eyes.
"You'd think GT could have made a Dove that would stay in your neck rather than fall out all the time"
"Actually, that's a good point. It's never fallen off before, maybe I bumped into something while I was running away"
"Like your courage that was fleeing in the opposite direction?"
"Shut up"
"Oh, is this it?" Mac picked a silver pin off the floor and stabbed it in my neck.
"Ow! No!" I ripped the pin out of my neck as it started to bleed. "That's not even shaped like a bird. It's probably some emblem that fell off someone's shirt"
"Seems like a lot of metallic thingies fall off around here"
"Yeah, maybe the Pail has some sort of reversal magnetic power that prevents metallic objects from sticking to anything within a radius of some distance"
"What?"
"I dunno. It's not like the thing comes with an instruction manual"
"I wanna know what the hell those dudes were doing to the Pail. They had welding equipment and jackhammers and everything"
"They can't do anything to it. Maybe they were testing it's invincibility or something. Maybe the Pail has a weakness"
"What do you think their plans are for the Pail?"
"I dunno. But I'm more worried about what the weapon they're working on is" I was still too ignorant to make the connection.
"Where is everyone?"
"That's what I was wondering. The mansion seems kind of deserted lately"
"The smart ones are probably fleeing from the explosion that's gonna happen"
"First of all, the explosion is going to destroy the planet. Where are they going to run to? Mars? And besides, the Society still don't know it's a bomb. They think it's some kind of mind control device or something"
"That sounds complicated"
"Yeah, I remember at the start of the year, when the biggest confusion in my life was why the gun shop I worked at didn't sell ammo"
"Are you sure you dropped the Dove around here? I can't see it anymore"
"Well, it is camouflaged since it's the same colour as the floor. What sort of arrogant nutjob paints his floor silver?"
"Your dad"
"It was a rhetorical question"
"And I gave a literal reply"
"Whatever"
"What's the time?"
"I dunno, 5ish?"
"You've got a watch"
"Not anymore, that fell off a few steps ago. I was too lazy to pick it up"
"Wow, that Pail is powerful"
"Yeah. I still don't know how it's Holy though"
"I thought it was just a bad pun that the leprechauns came up with"
"You're probably right"
"What are you guys talking about?" A new person joined us.
"Your eyes" I said.
"Really?" Kemp was intrigued.
"Uh, no. What are you doing here? Where's Doc?"
"Well, you told us to be useful, so I suggested that we split up and try to find the bomb"
"Wait, what? You let Doc go off by herself?"
"Well, she was getting clingy. Besides, you guys were taking forever so I thought I'd help you look for the Dove"
"So Doc has the sole objective of finding and dismantling a bomb while we look on the floor for a trinket?" Mac said.
"No. She's also looking for Alana"
"And it's not a trinket, it's a weapon, and the only thing that can help us fight the Society" I added.
"What about the dagger?" Mac held up the dagger Shrimp had given us to kill Jimbo with.
"Eh" I shrugged. "Those leprechauns don't know what they're talking about"
"Found it" Kemp picked up the Dove that was in the middle of the centre tile.
"What do you know? He is good for something" Mac said.
I pocketed the Dove and sighed in relief. "Glad that's over with"
"Yeah, now all we have to do is thwart your father's company's evil plans, destroy your evil twin and then save the world. Then you promised to take me out for ice-cream" Kemp reminded me.
"Can I come?" a sinister voice said behind us. Mac, Kemp and I spun around. Kemp got dizzy doing so and fell over.
"I thought I told you to find Alana, stop the bomb, kill Stikky and Jimbo and pick me up some ice-cream" Kemp said.
"I'm a doctor" Doc said. "I may be good at healing people and making creepy voices but that's it. Besides I got bored and thought I'd join you guys. It was choc chip, right?" Doc handed Kemp an ice-cream cone.
"Where'd you get that from?" I asked.
"There was this big freezer around the back. There were a few bodies in there, but it was mostly ice-cream"
"Anyone we know?"
"Heard of rocky road or English toffee?"
"No, I mean the bodies"
"Oh, no, they seemed random to me, probably their latest victims in the Society's quest for world domination. I think I saw a President or two"
"Well, at least some good has come from all this"
"So did you find the Dove"
"Do pigs fly?" Kemp interrupted.
"What do you mean? We have the Dove" I pointed out.
"I know. I thought we were all just asking questions"
"It was starting to sound like an interview" Mac pointed out.
"So what now?" Kemp asked. "Split up again?"
"No, that hasn't worked out for us lately" I decided. "You three stick together and find out as much as you can that can stop this from happening. And I know this is impossible but be discreet"
"What are you gonna do?" Mac asked.
"I'm going to end this"
"How?"
"Oh. To be honest I hadn't thought that far ahead. Good luck"
And with that I departed from the remaining Rebellion members and prepared myself for a showdown that probably won't happen for at least another five parts.
