"Oh my... how's he dealing with it?" Dawn asked.
"If those no-goods haven't scattered my tools about too much, I'll see if I can carve something up." Bill said. He looked towards what he could see of Bree and Shale, noting their respective builds and the little things that distinguished them as individuals.

"Well, I sorta yelled at him because he was going on about how all this was affecting Elsie," said Ebony, "I just went and said right then and there that if he wanted her to be happy again, he should do something about it. So he went down to Coast Guard where Delfina is to show her what I had found on his premises. I had told him that that was the only way to stop the perpetrator from repeating that act of vandalism."

"You should have seen them when they first met," said Delfina, "That was about six years ago at Ash Mountain."

"That must've been something." Bill nodded. "I have a few pictures of her that I took while she was out practicing in the bay, but nothing of him." He paused as he remembered something. "But Ebony also found a scent and another wrapper at my place as well, just thought you should know."
"You know, I have this feeling that these losers are just working up to worse things." Dawn drove her needle a little more fiercely through the neoprene of the wet suit, as if stabbing at something.

"Thanks," said Delfina, "and I believe I just had an encounter with this same guy myself. Left in a hurry after I called him out on what he had said to me. Also left behind a candy wrapper too which the helos say smells the same as what had been on a couple of fuel order forms."
*****
Ebony half-lidded her eyes, "I know, they're planning something. I think it has to do with Raven."

Dawn almost growled as she took another stab with the needle. "Thing is, WHAT? They've already shown that they have no problem hurting people."
"I can't believe that this guy would be such a careless slob!" Bill exclaimed. "Either he's completely ignorant or they're tauntin' us somehow."

"I'm beginning to think that we're the targets somehow," said Ebony, "and that anyone we meet and become friends with are targets too."
*****
"We humans seem to be attracting a lot of trouble somehow," sighed Delfina, "And I'm not kidding. My husband had to deal with a lot of that in the past."

"What I think is that this Carl.... is a wannabe user." Dawn laid the wet suit aside and took up some other gear to repair. "But he just doesn't have the talent, and thank God he doesn't. He's been using technology and sheer force of will to get his way over others. Maybe he figures he might get what he ultimately wants if he gets what he thinks Delfina's after."
"No one here holds it against you." Bill said. "But these thugs are settin' themselves up for an *rse-whoopin' if they screw with my family and friends again."

"He can't be a user," said Ebony, "If he was, Delfina would've sensed it by now. I don't think she would've let that fact slip by her. And didn't Raven already solve that mystery of the disc and medallion already?"
*****
"I don't think they would want to mess with a user," said Delfina, letting a bit of lightning spark at the tip of her antenna.

"That he did." Dawn's needle started to fly again, driven by a thimble-clad finger. "So there is really nothing for Carl to try to go after here. Except for Raven himself, and Freda." She looked up to where the ships were hanging out. "I think he's become obsessed with her."
Bill looked at Delfina. "You saw one of'em today, didn't you?"

"Like some sexual plaything?" asked Ebony, remembering that a similar thing had happened to her.
*****
"Only the candy bar van at the diner," said Delfina.

"Grey 70's Ford type?" Bill asked.
Dawn nodded slowly, imagining that Carl and Tony Blitz would probably get along famously if they ever met, but figuring Ebony didn't ever need to hear that Supra's name again. "Probably been rejected by every ship woman his size."

"Same one," nodded Delfina.
*****
"That would probably be true," said Ebony, "That would explain why he went to smaller women, like Erika. Easier to manipulate and hurt."

"And THAT's what he really gets off on." Dawn stabbed her needle vehemently. "Pain. Everyone else's pain. We've worked out Raven's issue, pretty much. Now it's Carl we gotta deal with."
"If he's smart, he's outta here by now." Bill snorted. "Or hiding."
<<< Time jump soon? >>>

"True," nodded Ebony as she watched Dawn with the needle.
*****
"I'm going to get the police to get an APB out on him," said Delfina, "We've got enough evidence about him to get him found and caught."

The dawn of Saturday morning found Randy and Erika returning from their own "special place", where they had enjoyed each other in a wish-you-luck gesture, and it did seem to Randy that Erika had been energized, not depleted, by those delicious moments, as she was as hyper as a human who'd had too much caffeine. It had also happened, occasionally, with other women, during that time that Randy had been working as an escort. It was one of the things that made him wonder what was going on, and made him leave off of it after that year.
"Whoah, babe." he laughed as his turbine-powered girlfriend surged on ahead, "Save your energy for the race."
The go-fast girl restrained herself as the larger vessels came into view. "I almost feel like there's this reactor inside me, and it powered up right after... you know? I never felt anything like it before... not with any other man."
Randy muzzled himself, just on the verge of telling her that it had happened before - but not to this extent. "Must be the raceday jitters getting at you."
"I guess." Erika hove to as she came within Freda's long shadow, calling out to the others. "Hello."
