Candi: "Your lips? Pure as sunshine!"

Donte: "Yes. A pity...we don't have more time to relish it!"



Candi: (smiling) "Now, why should that stop us!?"

In a way, it felt wrong. The ink on the paperwork for Denny's funeral was barely dry, and she was already kissing another. Even so, it was the correct man this time. Even so, she wanted just this short time with her other half; before she continued to right her wrongs.



Meanwhile, a criminal justice student named Elle was working an internship at the police station. She sympathized with Candi, but was not willing to put herself in danger if she didn't have to.

Ernie: "Oh, Elle! How are you today...princess?"

Elle: "I'm not your princess, Ernie!!! Just because I need money for college doesn't mean I'm your fly-by-night! Now, would you give it a rest?"



Ernie: (mocking) "Aw...that hurts! You know...you and I need to get together...more often! Breathe some fresh air in the Latin Town motels! I get sick of the boss...always whining about that fool Ploribus! Then I think of you...and I get to thinkin' something...more...pleasant..."

Elle: "Why should the police be afraid of the National Guard? I thought we were on the same team!"

Ernie: "Don't play simpleton!"

Elle: "Hey, I don't want to end up like Candi! My mom can understand me getting drunk. And she can forgive me letting you have your way when drunk...but let me tell you...if I ever end up in jail..."



Ernie: "Sweetums...sweetums! If Ploribus does come for us today, we can always hide in Latin Town!"

Elle: "You know what? You're a creep! I want a REAL boyfriend!"

Ernie: "I'm the best you'll ever have!"

Elle: "What? You...you're...OLD! You ugly, smelly...I was drunk, dammit! Leave me alone!"

Ernie: "I'm beginning to think you are like Candi...maybe you two could keep company? I'd rather you kept it with me..."

Elle: "Ick! NO!!! Back...OFF!!!"

Ernie: "Make me! In fact...why don't I just have some fun right here and now?"

Elle: "Just because the others are all outside screaming 'the sky is falling'? How did you ever become a cop??? You're...a PIG!!!"

Ernie: "I'm your destiny!"

Elle: "Eww!!! Enough! One more line of BS from you like that...and I'm telling your wife about us!"



This enraged the philandering officer, who realized he was about to lose everything! How DARE the little wretch threaten to snitch!

Elle: "Ernie...NO...NO!!!"

Ernie: "Somebody's gotta teach you some respect!!!"



As Ernie and Elle struggled, the alarm went off! Not just any alarm - the raid alarm! Eric, one of the only other officers in the police station at the time, quickly joined his friends outside as they lined up to face the oncoming threat of Ploribus and the National Guard.

Eric: "Judgment day already!"



Merle: "Attention!!! Attention all personnel! We are under attack! Everyone...report to your assigned pose IMMEDIATELY! Ploribus is here! Repeat! Ploribus is here!"



Candi and Donte were again getting serious about their situation.

Donte: "It's happening...you gotta get yourself out of here!"

Their thoughts were interrupted by a sound both of them could suddenly hear ever so softly...a hissing sound...

Candi: "What's that...noise?"

Donte: "Oh no!"



BOOM!

The two of them were still there, so it could not have been a bomb. Dynamite?

Donte: "Dolly! Why??? She just doesn't listen to me!"

Candi: "What now?"

Donte: "The girls...found the stash! Larry the Whack Monkey, as he used to be known down here, gave the girls some dynamite so they could plot an escape.

I don't know how...he got it down here, but I urged them not to use it! They were determined!"



The blast was far enough away that it didn't hurt their ears, but they were both still at odds what to make of it.

Merle: "Attention!!! Attention all personnel! The prisoners Dolly Malestrom and Lindsay Hamilton have escaped! Repeat! The Weiss sisters have escaped! If seen, KILL THEM...IMMEDIATELY!!!"



Candi: "Oh, great!"

Donte: "What?"

Candi: "I have a Zeran wardrobe hidden in my bra with a spare suit; but I forgot to pack a Zeran teleporter for it! I gave my purse to Laurie!"



Donte: "Merle knows...I'm not a liar...I'll tell him...that Ciem rescued you...and helped the Weiss sisters escape as well. It... is technically true..."

Candi: "Good idea. Watch the entrance...I need to change!"



Donte: "You'll come for me soon."

Candi: "Yes. Otherwise, there would have been no point in me ever being born!"



In the midst of the ensuing chaos, Ernie finally fell in his struggle. Elle had finally proven that she, not Ernie, was the one in need of respect!
