I take it you guys aren’t the guessing types. Fine, I’ll just tell you what I found in the alley.

I found Chaisey back there. She was naked and screaming. She wasn’t alone either - Round Booth was with her.

Mama always told me that chivalry was next to curiosity, so I dropped the body and jumped Round Booth.

“You bastard!” I yelled, “Leave her alone, you uncouth booth!”

“You idiot!” yelled Chaisey, “Get off of him, you fried guide!”

“You don’t want my help?” I asked helplessly.

“I’m in labour!” she yelled, grimacing.

OMG.

I’m going to make a long story short and just say that Chaisey gave birth to a giant stool. Mother, Father and Stool are all doing fine.

I smoked a cigar and hit the road because my work wasn’t done: I still had to find Fox, Third Elf, Shagatha, The Autonomous Eye, and Empty Shell. I had miles to go before I could sleep.
