"Gary?" Timber called out louder, looking for some sort of trail. Her vision blurred as a tear fell form her cheek, and landed two stories below.

Nothing. Not even a footprint. Not even a scent trail to follow. Gary had completely disappeared.

"Gary!!" Timber let her voice be raised again, almost to a scream. She leaned out the window a little farther, looking around. "Please come back..." She said, looking worried and scared. She began to lean a bit too far out the window, and her hand slipped.

A tail wrapped around Timber's leg, as Alien pulled her back in. "WHY I'm saving you, I don't know." He muttered. There was a hole in the back of the closet, and one in the door, too.

Timber's eyes widened, and she backed away, suddenly finding herself shivering.

Alien growled. "You'd better be more careful. Next time, I won't be pulling. I'll be pushing." He hissed, before turning to leave.

Timber stared after him. "W-wait..." She said, trying to speak as loud as she could. "You woulnd't hap-pen to know where G-gary is?"

Alien shook his head. "Last time I saw him, he was with YOU." He said, almost as if he was accusing her of being responsible.

Timber's ears were pressed back. "But.. I didn't do anything... I swear."

Alien growled. "Sure you didn't." He muttered, leaving. The spines on his back were pointing straight up, and he had to lower them to fit through the hole in the door.

Josie stood outside, tapping her foot. "Alien..." She said, her arms crossed over her chest. "Leave that poor girl alone."

Alien just stomped past Josie. "Go away, leave me alone." He muttered, walking into his room and slamming the door.

Josie looked into the room, and blinked, not seeing Timber there at all. "Now I swear I just..." Her gaze fell upon an envelope on the floor, addressed to Gary, from DMR. Josie blinked at the envelope, thinking before realising DMR were initials. She picked up the letter and sniffed it, wondering if she could get a scent, but alas, there was none.

Gary jumped down behind Josie, the warm barrel of a BFG pressed hard against her back. "Give me it. NOW."

Josie screamed, and stiffened up. "H-here..." She said, slowly handing the letter to him over her head. Her tail was all bushy now.

Gary snatched the letter, pushing Josie away. He turned his finger into a claw, sliced the top off the envelope, and took out the letter, reading.

Dear Gary,
I'm sorry I haven't said word of where I am, or how I've been. This letter is unscented, for the same reason I won't tell you where I am. If my children know that you know, they'll hunt you down and possibly kill you. Even Josie, though she'll never admit it...
The letter went on to explain why Des had run away, and that she still loved Gary with all her heart, and that she missed Jessy terribly. It also went on to say that she sent someone for them to watch over. A Cyote Demon.
.... Make sure that she stays safe, and don't scare her too bad or... well.. she'll run away too. Ask her why you don't want her running away, and you might want to pursuade her into it. But nicely. Don't scare her, and I mean it.
Love to you all,
Desdemona Marie Rennelds

Gary read the letter, and his breathing increased sharply. He threw it to the floor, and blasted it with the BFG, also creating a large hole in the floor. He sat down against the wall, burying his face in his hands.

Josie became afraid to go near him, thus she ran out of the room.
Softly, someone put a hand on Gary's shoulder. The skin was very pale, and had a blue star on it. "If you want.. I can comfort you..." Timber said, reapearing kneeling by his side.

Gary sniffed, looking at Timber. He nodded weakly. "Yeah... thanks."
