Box 5

Guise: …now in the morning I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to oh-oh-own…

Guise: Man, this place is dead. It’s like start of Resident Evil: Apocalypse dead or The Stand dead…or Gary Glitter Daycare Centre dead. There’s lights on everywhere but no-one is about. I’m not even getting run down in the middle of the road by some idiot in a used Fiat, what kind of town is this?!

Guise: I guess there’s no harm in going down a dirty, dimly lit back alley then. Nothing bad could suddenly happen when there’s no-one around to help…

…Elsewhere(s)…

…And Elsewhere Again…

????: I definitely look like Mulder right now. I’m rocking the Fox look. I know it. I feel it. Well, Playmobil gods, it’s time to solve your mystery of today! Doo doo doo doo doo doo, Doodede doodede doodede doodede deh.

????: That’s right Agent Smashy, we’ll crack this case wide open. You just look pouty whilst I ramble.

????: So, Agent Smashy, what do we hav….Holy Jingling Bells Below The Waist!!! I can’t believe it!! This means we…I…OH MY GOD!!! It’s all here!!!

????: I gotta stash this away before anyone notices. I can’t take the risk.

…Later…

????: I can’t believe it, I just can’t believe it. After all we went through…I’d wondered if maybe the other guys had gotten away with it, cut me out…but this changes everything. I need to find the guys, they’ll know what we need to do…maybe we can still get this in time, maybe our ship will finally come in!

????: There’s no time to lose. I’ll just have to make a run for the border and hope security don’t spot me or have patrols waiting.

????: Well, that was anti-climactic. You mean I could have just left the calendar anytime. The gods suck.

…Later…

Guise: …cos I know what it me-ee-ee-eans, to walk along the lonely street of dreams…that was anti-climactic. Wandering the streets I don’t know, dressed out of place, in an area that could be rough as anything…and yet I don’t get a whiff of trouble. Kinda like wandering San Jose on my own, only without the constant risk of becoming roadkill. Can’t believe I’ve walked from moonlight to moonlight, didn’t even notice the sun.

Guise: Ah. The Police…the Rozzers…the Old Bill…the Coppers…the Fuzz…no, wait, my butt is totally The Fuzz right now. Hot Fuzz, baby.

Meanwhile

????: …and it’s so lonely here, if only I had company…or my magic wand, yeah, my wand…or, heck…

????: …rabbit would be a nice touch.

What is the mysterious man talking about and do we really want to know? Just what is the mysterious woman talking about and do we REALLY want to know? What will happen now the mysterious man has crossed the border and who is he going to see? Will Guise turn his head and realise he isn’t alone?
