"Come on Abby, we'll go get him."Terrence said.
Abby nodded meekly, she rose from the floor and followed Terrence who was already heading up the stairs.

"Who are they going after?"Amos asked.

"Paulie, our other friend."Haley said.
"Why is he upstairs?"Amos demanded.

Mark explained about Paulie and his mental based eccentrics, listing off and revealing for the first time to Hazel that Paulie had ADD, Aspergers, Bipolarism, Elevated Anxiety, Depressive Flashes, and anger management to boot.
It was noticeable that with each condition Mark listed, Amos's face grew more and more grave.
"Dammit,"he hissed,"well, we'll worry about that when it becomes a reality?"
"What does that mean?"Makaya demanded.
Amos simply responded,"The Tartok only preys on the weak minded, people like your friend.Meaning that if we destroy the creature, the spirit will be free and searching for a new host.By bringing him up here you've provided it with a new host for when it's current body is destroyed."

"What!?"Squeaked Haley.
The others were all deathly silent.

"We've got a problem."Came Terrence's voice.
"Paulie's gone!"Abby yelled down as she ran up to the railing.

Terrence stepped up beside her and called down,"The bathroom window was wide open.Looks like he opened it and jumped down outside."
