When class is up he drives her over to the nursing home. 

Permalink

They investigate the nursing home.

 

Alex. Body in the supply closet.

It's a mummy.

Permalink

- oh.

Oh. How -

Permalink

I dunno. Did - were you watching the mummy and the swordsman the whole time last night -

Permalink

No, she got out of range - it's shorter for people you don't know - and I was distracted - in a closet, though, that doesn't sound like - doesn't sound like she brushed against him while running -

Permalink

No. It doesn't.

- I guess - I guess the death itself could have been an accident and maybe she panicked - I don't know why she'd run in here, though -

Permalink

She was running away from the sword guy.

Permalink

Yeah, but - I mean there would have been people - but I guess she probably can't read and probably doesn't know what a nursing home is and was probably panicking, so - I dunno.

Permalink

Gotta ask, I guess.

Permalink

Yeah. 

Man, mummy girl has the worst superpower. ...maybe not worse than Emmy's. I'd have to think about it.

Permalink

Lot of lousy hands out there. Do you want to come talk to mummy girl? From a safe distance?

Permalink

I can if you want. I think you've talked to her more than I have, though. 

Permalink

He looks unhappily down at the body. 

Let's talk to her together.

Permalink

Yeah. OK.

Permalink

They head to Michael's and knock on her door, which is currently a temporary cardboard thing.

Permalink

Ex-mummy tentatively opens the door.

"Oh! Hello."

Permalink

"Hey. Are you okay?"

Permalink

" - I think so." As long as the swordsman doesn't come back. They can probably protect her from him. Hopefully. And as long as she can hold out for another day or so and get away again -

Permalink

"That must've been really scary."

Permalink

"Yes." It was. 

Permalink

"Where did you end up going? I was trying to find you but I lost track."

Permalink

- oh. "There was a building, I don't know what you call it. I ran inside." And found the security guard, and fed on him, and was able to hide the body. That was lucky. "But - I thought I might be trapped inside, so I ran to a park, and your friend found me."

Permalink

"Okay. We're going to secure the windows and doors better, so that nothing can possibly get in - they actually have a setting with metal shutters, we just don't have it like that all the time, and we'll all just hang out here until we figure out how to stop the swordsman, okay?"

Permalink

She bites her lip. It'll be - harder, this way. She doesn't want to have to kill them. Maybe - maybe she can explain, maybe they'll understand - later -

"OK."

Permalink

"You want pizza again, or do you want to try something else?"
