"Why were you screaming and carrying on?" Someone asked suddenly, Catnip saw that it was Tenny weaving through the workers. Catnip had somehow forgotten what had just happened to her. What she'd seen in the Howling towers rotunda. They were all looking at her now curiously and somewhat fearful. The mechanic saw something then, in her mind, an image of what things looked like to them. She, running and screaming from the rotunda like hell was at her heels all the while the foreman had just gone missing. If Catnip had been running, maybe she'd seen the foreman. If so though, then why act like she hadn't known Felicia was missing? As the idea came to her, it seemed that it was formulating in their minds as well.

"There was a monster in the wind room. Why did you leave me alone?" Catnip asked. Tenny frowned deeply.

"You were alone?" Tenny said suspiciously. Catnip realized her mistake but didn't know what to say about it. Yes she'd been alone, but that didn't mean...

"Yeah?" L said sharply. Catnip thought at first L was angry at her, but quickly came to understand that the tall misling was getting defensive of her. "I left her alone because she asked me to get wire from the people tossing supplies over the barrier. I thought she'd be fine since so many people were coming and going to see her. Everyone but you, Parsons. I know what your next insinuation is gonna be, and maybe we should ask where you were? You spend an awful lot of time alone yourself!"

"Everybody just calm the hell down!" George interrupted with a shout. It was plain to see that he was afraid, but there was something else. He didn't trust any of them, Catnip could see it. Everyone could see it. Then, no one could trust anyone. It was as it had been when Felicia had revealed to them the current situation and her fears. Tenny gave him a vile sideways look riddled with scorn and distrust.

"And what about you? I've seen how you hang around with these two... RATS!?" She hissed. L stepped forward and slapped her hard enough to send the woman sprawling and smashing the wire frames of her glasses out of shape. "You... You hit me?"

"Yeah, and I'll do it again too. I'd beat the heck out of you except we have bigger things to worry about than this bickering and your... ridiculous insinuations!" L growled at the prone woman. She had the appearance of a person who'd been caught assaulting someone, but didn't know they'd been seen yet, standing over her victim. "Catnip, will the generator run?"

"Y-yes... I just need to test it to make sure the power is steady and then we can-"

"Skip the tests, the pump isn't going to overload it. I'll stay with you, even if the rest of these people won't. We can watch it over night while it pumps off the water."

While L took charge, no one noticed Tenny pick herself up and crawl away. No one that was, but Catnip. After a little bit, everyone went off into their own groups for the night leaving Catnip and L all to themselves. They talked for a bit, L getting the details of what had happened and beginning to show real fear, now that the adrenaline of her actions was wearing off. Catnip's encounter frankly terrified her, but she owed Catnip a bit of trust. Before they left, Catnip stooped and picked something up.

"What's up nip?" L asked. Catnip didn't answer. Instead, she held up what she'd found. A small chain covered in little icons and bells with a broken clasp.
