Opening credits role. Fade to the inside of XtRaVa's house. He and Horrorobsessed are eating breakfast.

XtRaVa: H. I'm gonna be gone for a while. Bloody buisness bleeds me dry.

Horrorobsessed: They owe you big time. You work at least 5 hours overtime a week.

XtRaVa: Yeh. This time I'm going to California to pitch a new building.

Horrorobsessed: You should see if they let you build something around here.

XtRaVa: Could do. Anyway, I'm leaving in an hour.

Horrorobsessed: WHAT?!

XtRaVa: I'm leaving in an hour. I've got my suitcase packed. I'll bring you back something nice. I'll be back in a week.

He kisses her on the cheek then goes upstairs. She sits there, open mouthed for a while. The screen fades to __V__ reading the news paper. The headline "It's not Rayneing Them" is visible.

__V__: Look at this.

Disease gets up from the sofa.

Disease: I still cant believe Ferret kicked me out.

__V__: You put hot sauce in his tea.

Disease: So?

__V__: Your mum may have moved to australia to have you and gore, but he was born in England. Do you know how much tea means to him?

Disease: What'd you wanna show me?

__V__: The newspaper got it wrong again. They said Rayne and her brother scarecrow have still evaded capture.

Disease: Scarecrow isn't her brother. Does he even have a sister?

__V__: He did...and a brother.

Disease: How could they make a mistake like that?

__V__: I dunno. But there's something strange about this...

Disease: What do you mean?

__V__: Once, a few years ago, Scarecrow lead somebody into a trap by making the newspaper make a mistake. Not many people know but I did some research.

Disease: Who do you think he's trying to trap?

__V__: I have no idea. But I bet they're not stupid enough to fall for it.

Fade to the flat above the shop. Hammerfan is serving a customer.

Hammerfan: I don't recognise you.

Crabapple: I haven't been here for a while. Bad memories. But now I'm back to help a friend.

The door to the flat upstairs opens and zero walks out naked.

Zero: I am so tired...I don't know what I'm doing.

Crab: Jesus christ. Zero, cover yourself up.

Zero grabs a tiny pack of big reds and puts it over his "area".

Crab: It may be small but...oh nevermind. Good to meet you hammer. Seeya when you realise what you just did Zero. Bye.

He walks out. Fade to ferretchucker's house. He and __V__ are talking.

__V__: She has a grudge against us both, but I think she'd go after you. When you only have two limbs, you're an easy target.

The doorbell rings. __V__ answers it. He slowly walks into the living room, followed by Crab.

Ferret: What? What the hell are you doing here?

Crab: News got to me about Rayne.

Ferret: What do you care?

Crab: Newb saved my life from a hitman she sent. She tried to kill me twice. I was nearly married to her.

Ferret: But you're not sleeping here. My nephew, Gorephobia, has the only extra room.

Crab: WHAT?!

__V__: Different Gorephobia Crab. This one's too young.

Crab: What was his dad called?

Ferret: His dad. He ran when my sister got pregnant. But his name was also gorephobia.

Crab: WHAT!?

See post 193 for details. I bet you lot forgot about that.

Fade to a shot of the hospital. Freak picks is smiling. He's in the hallway. He's looking at Jenna. She looks at him and waves. He smiles and waves back. Fade back to Ferretchucker's house. Disease and Gore are now there.

Gore: What's this about?

Ferret: I...I don't know how to say this. It's about your dad. He...he had some other children.

disease: What? Who?

Crab: My half brother for one. And my cousin. Who happens to be my half brothers half brother.

Gore: Slow down.

Crab: GorePhobia Sr. had a son called Newb.

Disease: I knew who Newb was. He was at Ferrets wedding.

Crab: Well. He had Newb with my mum. Then he left. Then he came back. Needless to say my mum hated him, but her slut sister got pregnant. He left again.

Gore: Who's this other guy. Your cousin.

Ferret: Dude.

Disease: Dudeguadalupe?

Crab: Then...he had you. Newb was your half brother. And so is Dude.

Gore: I don't believe this.

Ferret: It's true. But there's something else.

Crab: I've managed to find out who Gorephobia is. I tracked him down. He'd changed his name.

The screen fades out to show an old man reading a newspaper in an armchair. He puts it down and sees a smiling Rayne at his window. Ending credits role.







Okay, I'll admit it. This was never the plan. I went back to just remember what Crab had told __V__, then I saw the name Gore. I decided, instead of putting it down to coincidence, to link the stories. Good revalation though. Who do you lot want the dad to be? Person with the highest votes is the dad. Can't be an existing character.
