Party Poison wakes up early. The sun is starting to rise. He tries to fall asleep again, but can't so he stands up and goes in to the living room slash kitchen. Their house used to be a restaurant so you have a bar with behind it cupboards and a fridge that doesn't work anymore. Across the bar you have tables with seats against the window. Poison comes out what used to be the storage room. It's pretty big. There's place for seven mattresses, now they only need six but before he got killed, Static Moon needed one too.

Party goes outside to wait for Kobra Kid to return. He's always worried when his brother goes away, even though he knows Kobra can take care of himself. Suddenly he feels a hand on his shoulder.

"They'll be fine, Poison." The redhead sighs.
"I know, Ghoul, but I can't stop worrying. Especially not after what happened to Static." Fun Ghoul looks sad as he mentions their former friend, than he looks to the road.

"Do you hear that too? It sounds like you can stop worrying." The Trans.Am comes in sight, Poison and Ghoul stand up and when the car stops they help to get cans with food and other stuff inside. After that's done, they sit in the sand while Jet, Kobra and Bomb tell what they got to know.

"Nothing happened on the road, we got to Dr. Death without problems. He didn't know anything 'bout the guy in black and there was nothing we're interested in except for a food transport, but he'll keep is posted." Kobra tells his friends. Jet is playing with Missile Kid and Bomb is inside getting food for all of them.

Suddenly they hear a loud crack. They all look around to see what has happened. The Killjoys stand up and start to walk in different directions to check if no one's there. Than Bomb hears something, it sounds like a car. He runs to the top of the dune and sees a car drive away. A few steps away is some sort of depression in the ground, like someone laid there for a while. Smiling Bomb runs back to the others.

"It seems like someone was spying on us." The other Killjoys frown.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, when I got on top of that dune, I saw a car drive away and it looked like someone has been laying there for some time."
"This isn't good." Ghoul looks like he wants to say 'No shit, Sherlock.' But he doesn't, this is too important.
"Maybe he doesn't want to hurt us?" they all look disbelieving towards Kid.
"Then why did he drive away instead of talking with us?" Missile Kid shrugs,
"I don't know. Maybe he's shy." She knows it's unlikely.
"Could it be the guy in black?" Jet thinks out loud.
"If it is him, we now know he ain't a friend." It's silent for some time.
"What are we going to do, Poison?"
"Maybe we should move, Kobra. Until we know it's save again." They all sigh and go inside to get the few stuff they have.

When they're all done packing and sit in the car, Het starts driving.
"Where are we going to?"
"Let's go to Dr. D first. He might know somewhere where we can stay." After a couple of hours of driving, it's getting dark so they stop and make a small fire.
"I don't like this, it feels like we're prey. Afraid to fight."
"we aren't running, Bomb."
"Then why didn't we stay home?"
"Cuz it's not safe."
"So we're running."
"Yeah, we're running. Now go to sleep." Poison is annoyed. He doesn't like it either, but he has to keep them safe. One by one they lay down and close their eyes.

Kobra is awoken by something in the middle of the night. He doesn't know by what, but then he hears it again. Someone's sobbing. The Killjoy looks around but his friends are all asleep. The sobbing comes from the car. Missile Kid is in the car. He walks to her and hugs her.
"Everything will be alright, Kid. You know Poison can fix everything." The little girl nods and slowly falls asleep again.
