Alex goes to the kitchen, and brings back with some ice cream, chocolate syrup and a spoon. The look on his face, the almost gleeful smile - causes almost everyone to chuckle, or in the case of Kristof, laugh out loud. The tension in the room seems to drain away at that moment. The funeral, Alister, the bees - it's been a weird day thus far, but in times like this you find humor in whatever you can.
Dr. Silver brings Randy a glass of water from the kitchen. He closes up the medical kit and looks around. "If I didn't have to drive home, wasn't scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning, and was certain those bee-things wouldn't come after me, I think I'd dare get drunk." Julia smiles at this. "Oh, Ray. I remember in the old days you'd get drunk regardless!" More subdued laughter. Dr. Silver then goes over to Randy and looks at him with a critical eye. He begins to ask him questions in a low voice, concern plainly written on his face. Ray, Randy appears to be fine, if perhaps a little shaken up. You don't think there is any long term psychological problems. At least, none that are obvious to you.
Sam takes the high grade pesticide from Julia and heads to the study door. Sam, when you get to the door, you take a moment and listen. You do not hear the bees, though earlier you could quite earlier. Just the sound of the rain and thunder from outside. You get to your knees, and begin to thread the hose under the door and into the room. As you begin to read the instructions on the side of the canister, something occurs to you. The sounds of rain and thunder are much louder than before, and coming from within the study. What's going on now??
