[QUOTE="talien, post: 4744991, member: 3285"] [b]Dreams: Part 7 – The Trouble With Guppy[/b] Hammer turned around to face Guppy and Grant. They had transferred to a van that Jim-Bean drove to Peterboro, which gave them more room to conduct the interrogation as they drove Guppy to undisclosed location. "So now that we've got some alone time together, why don't you tell me what you two were doing?" Grant shrugged his shoulders. "What do I know? I seen Hank last week; haven't seen him in forever since I used to beat him up for his lunch money. Next thing I know Hanky here is talking about aliens and conspiracies…" Hammer frowned and looked at Guppy. "That's how we got into this mess, remember?" Guppy shook his head. "You don't understand! I've seen it. They're already here!" He leaned forward to whisper. "Grant is a Protomatter Steward!" "That's not too hard to confirm," said Hammer. "Jimmy?" Jim-Bean stepped over to Grant. "Hold still." He put one hand on Grant's shoulder and concentrated for a second. "Nope. A sleaze ball, but that's it." "It's true!" protested Guppy. "I saw a file!" "What kind of file?" asked Hammer. "On Grant! It proves that he's part of the Conspiracy. They're controlling us all, manipulating you even now!" He peered at Grant. "They can change shape. They can be anybody!" Jim-Bean leaned back. "You know, he's got a point." "I think he's snapped," said Caprice from the passenger's seat. Archive was driving. "Guppy's a danger to himself and others. He should probably be committed." "You're not really helping," muttered Hammer. He turned back to Guppy. "Do you have any evidence of this?" "Ask Rachel!" shouted Guppy. "She can tell you—" "Guppy, Rachel's dead," said Jim-Bean. Guppy blinked. "What?" "She's dead. That's why we came to pick you up. Her charred corpse was found in your apartment." "But…" Guppy recovered.
