Holy crap. Ho—ly c—rap. That was… not what I was expecting. This has got to be one of those famous half-successes, right? Even if it isn’t, I’m chalking it up as one. First things first, we were able to get Miss. Andrews back home. I think. Or, well, it’s hard to say exactly what happened to her, but I’ll get to that in a second. The main point is L.A., and SoCal in general, go on to live another day, much to the dismay of Padre Santos and the Astoria 23rd Agency. Gonna have to try harder than that to wipe us off the face of the Earth.
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of it. Myself, along with Flower and I.T., got to work on redirecting Miss. Andrew’s warpath ever so slightly so she’d wriggle her way right back up to Bollock’s on the surface. I don’t know exactly how #62 did it. Something about ultrasonic frequencies or electrical interference or something. She used a big round thing on the ground, making the Death Worm move slightly to the right. That’s all you really need to know. And Flower, with some guidance from the Old Man, got the original portal to the Ouroboros outskirts reopened. Admittedly, it wasn’t opened very wide, but we were sort of hoping it would sort itself out. I mean, it’s that, or we go, poof, so we took the chance.
Then things went weird.
Who else but Mrs. Pleasant swooped in to stop us. To be fair, we were expecting that to some degree, so we were ready for her. Blinders, lanterns, mothballs, the whole nine yards. And we gave her a pretty good fight, but let’s face it, we’re no match for a customer like her. But we weren’t alone. Out of the blue, Mrs. Middletown swooped down and clawed the hell out of Mrs. Pleasant. The two of them then went at it for a good five minutes while we tried to ram the giant worm through a portal that was easily ten sizes too small. We only caught bits and pieces of their spat, but from what I heard, Mrs. Pleasant was mad at Middletown for swooping in on her plan. Then just as we were starting to make the portal wide enough, Mrs. Middletown did SOMETHING that completely evaporated Miss. Andrews. Like. Fwoop. Gone. Miss. Freaking Andrews. All of her. GONE. Then Mrs. Middletown (Miss…?) said something like, “Father sends his regards.”
