Garrison has become a media circus.
Muller, having been pulled out of mucho rubble just lies there and bleeds
alot.
Schuster conducts media interviews:
"We had leads that lead us..."
"Followed the Sons of freedom lead..."
They have a photo of Pateras, Knight, and a bunch of other Sons of
freedom.
"Large supply of weapons..."
"Occupants escaped through tunnels..."
"They were members of the sons of freedom, shooting at us"
Davis, Sykes, and Mahone are flown back to the US. They arrive at
Washington late evening and are transported to the FBI infirmary at
Quantico, Virginia.
Muller is in hospital in Seattle.
Reports come in that a mollusc local to the Garrison area (a variety of
Pacific sea worm) has been killed off (possibly by pollution).
A writ is served against Muller, for all sorts of horrible breaches of
civil rights, by Pateras.
The media trashes the actions of the fedral agents.
Davis, Sykes, and Mahone are apparently dead. The President is to speak at
their funeral.
4 members of the CDC (out of 12)
3 State Police (out of 6)
and 10 SWAT team members (out of 15) survived the incident at Garrison.
"No bombings. Davis in hospital. Coincidence? Maybe..."
Davis, Sykes and Mahone and in a private hospital with fairly heavy
security. Muller and Schuster come to visit them.
Much paranoia is exhibited by all concerned...
Sykes thinks she hears a scream. No one else heard anything.
There is a scream. Muller goes to investigate and is hit in the head.
Sykes sees Muller attacked by Pampas grass and smashes a window.
Schuster starts yelling. Muller finds a camera tripod and sees a Red Dodge
Van speeding away.
Unable to recall seeing the license plate number Muller asks Davis to
hypnotise him. Davis asks for Muller's keys so he can do so. Davis
hypnotises Muller (Muller having forgot to tell him what he wanted to be
hypnotised for) and implants the suggestion that Muller has lost his keys.
Muller snaps out of it. Davis suggests he might have lost his keys in the
Pampas grass. While Muller is looking for his keys Davis grabs Sykes and
Mahone and they "escape" from the facility in Muller's car.
An ATM eats Davis' card. Muller and Schuster notice their absence and
begin pursuit, putting an APB out on Mullers car. The police stop Davis
and company. Sykes runs away, laughing at the piping music coming out of
her head. Davis tries to run and is shot. He is taken to hospital along
with Mahone. Schuster and Muller arrive at the hospital just in time to
put a real crimp in Davis' escape. Sykes is at a TV studio conducting a
live interview, telling the viewers at home about the wonders of Azathoth
and how you too can have lilting piping music coming out of your head
too...
Davis is caught in traffic.
Muller makes it to the TV studio, he bursts in and shoots Sykes in the
stomach. She desperately crawls away, pleading for him not to kill her.
He sees worms flow forth from her mouth - no one else does - and shoots
her through the face and he stands over her - all live on TV. He steps to
one side and a crew member drops a stage light on him, knocking him out
cold...
