Paranoia Begins To Set In

Exterior, Outside the Toolshed

Kibou walks down to meet up with the others. Pliskin informs them of the bleak situation.

"Well, now The radio's gone."

Plush adds on

"And so are the choppers"

Dr. Charlie continues

"Ah, we're completely cut off"

Pliskin finishes

"All we can do now is, hold up till spring, wait for the rescue team."

Kibou disagrees with this terrible idea. He speaks up.

"No, we don't wait. Somebody in this camp ain't what he appears to be, right now that could be one or two of us by spring it could be all of us."

Everyone looks at each other for a second. Plush speaks.

"So how do we know who's a Pokemon?"

Silence. He turns to Kibou and speaks directly to him.

"If I was an imitation, a perfect imitation, how would you know if it was really me?"

More silence by the Pokemon. The wind howls in the back as everyone stares at Kibou. He speaks.

"Is there some kind of test, doc?"

The doc gives an educated answer.

"Well, yeah… Possibly. I've been thinking about a Blood Serum test."

Pliskin is confused.

"What's that?"

The doc explains.

"We could take a sample of each Pokemon's blood, we could mix it with uncontaminated blood. I suppose if there's a reaction then we'd know who isn't a Pokemon."

Carl speaks.

"We got old blood in storage."

Pliskin reaches for his belt and removes the keys to the blood storage. He gives them to Charlie.

"You start working on that.."

Kibou tells everyone what George had told him.

"Keep an eye on Andy. He was close to that Ninetails."

The doc gives a loud whispery answer.

"Yeah."

Everyone heads in but Carl and Kibou hang back. Kibou looks back at the toolshed and Carl grabs his attention.

"K."

Kibou turns around to look at him.

"We need George's help, he's the only one who knows what this organism is-"

The Mew cuts him off.

"He's too far gone Carl. Look at the rest of his notebooks, start going through em'."

He turns and heads towards the entrance of the camp, Carl follows shortly after.

Interior, Infrimary

Dr. Charlie walks into the room and notices a massive puddle of blood with more flowing out of the blood storage unit. He unlocks the lock and opens it and if greeted to all the blood bags having puncture holes in them, leaking whatever blood remained inside. He yells to everyone.

"Pliskin! Hey you guys, come here!"

Pliskin arrives first, followed by Randy and Mark, then Plush, Andy and finally Kevin.

Pliskin is confused and asks meekly.

"What?"

The doc answers in a slightly panicked tone.

"Somebody got to the blood!"

One of the Pokemon says "What!?" but it's unknown who said it. Plush immediately asks for Andy.

"Where's Andy?"

He responds instantaneously.

"Right here."

He stands behind the table in the middle of the room, Kibou comes in and is just as confused as everyone else but looks to get to the bottom of who did it.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, was this broken into?"

Carl inspects the lock.

"The lock is undamaged… somebody opened it, closed it, and then locked it."

Kibou gives an annoyed attitude.

"Great… Well, who's got access to it?"

The room goes silent. Everyone looks at each other with suspicion. After a few seconds, the doc speaks up.

"Guess I'm the only one?"

Pliskin speaks up, a slight nervous tone to his voice.

"And I've got the only key."

Kibou walks up to the both of them casually and calmly. He looks at the doc.

"Would that test have worked, doc?"

He gives the Mew a confident nod and an even more confident answer.

"Oh I think so, yes!"

Behind them, Randy chips in. Everyone turns to him.

"Somebody else sure knows that so…"

Kibou turns back to the doc and Pliskin, and lets out a sigh.

"Well… who else could've used that key?"

Pliskin's tone is becoming increasingly nervous. He answers quickly.

"Nobody! I just give it to Charlie whenever he needs it."

The Mew looks at him with slight suspicion, but he isn't convinced on anything yet. He asks the doc now.

"Could anybody have gotten it from you, doc?"

He answers calmly.

"I don't see how, as soon as I'm finished I return it right away."

The doc looks over at Pliskin. Pliskin holds a tense look on his face. In the back, windows becomes extremely nervous upon remembering that he was the last one to have the keys and dropped it right before Chuck was assimilated. He lets out an extremely anxious tone.

"Great…"

He starts walking back towards the doorway, Plush looks at him as he does this. Randy asks the doc.

"When was the last time you used it?"

The doc answers in an uneasy tone.

"Uhh, a day or so I guess…"

More silence as inquiring eyes stare at Pliskin and Charlie, two possible suspects in this. Pliskin notices this and decides to speak up again.

"I suppose… Somebody could've lifted it off of me, but that's ridiculous…"

Plush ain't buying that.

"Oh, come on! That key ring of yours is always hooked to your belt!"

Pliskin gets up in his face and yells at him. What he says is unintelligible as he cuts off the rest of Plush's words. They start to argue and Andy points at them, saying something along the lines of one of them accusing everyone for this stuff. Plush turns to him and goes to grab him. Randy and Kibou stop him. One of them yelling "Stop it man, it ain't worth it." Everyone is on edge and has become extremely tense. Pliskin quickly tries to bring the subject back to solving the problem.

"Charlie's the only one who's got any business with it."

Everyone's looks go from Pliskin to Charlie. Charlie answers in a defensive tone.

"Ah now wait a minute, Pliskin, you've been in here on several occasions…!"

Carl defends the doc.

"And the doc thought of the test."

Plush is angry now, seeing Carl defend the doc.

"So what, is that supposed to clear him!? Bullshit!"

Carl yells at him.

"Well why would he come in here to-"

Windows bolts out of the room and down the hallway. Pliskin sees this and brings attention to it.

"Windows!"

Interior, Hallways

He takes off after him. Everyone else follows suit. Windows, in a panic, runs down the hallway at top speed, looking back to see how far from everyone else he is. He reaches the end of the hallway which leads to two directions. He takes the right end and comes upon a glass casing with a bunch of guns inside. He tries to open it, but it's locked. He smashes it open with his arm and grabs one of the guns, which appears to be a shotgun. It's not loaded so he tries to grab a shell and load it but is too anxious and under way too much pressure to do it. Pliskin rounds the corner with his Colt Trooper MK 3 Magnum drawn and he points it at Windows.

"Put that down!"

Windows shakes his head, scared straight and out of breath. His tone reflects it.

"No..."

Pliskin threatens with a firm tone.

"I'll put this right through your head!"

With a shaky tone, he addresses everyone else.

"You guys gonna listen to Pliskin? You gonna let him give the orders, I mean he could be one of those things!"

This obvious statement is potentially true and everyone becomes even more tense. Kibou tries to settle this problem down.

"Windows…"

He slowly walks towards Pliskin. He has his paw up in a "stop/calm down" gesture.

"Wait a minute, just take it easy, put the gun down. Put it down, Pliskin, you don't wanna hurt anyone."

He gives him a quick and firm answer.

"Get back."

Pliskin looks at Windows.

"On the floor."

Windows slowly brings himself to the ground to place the shotgun down. He does and then puts his hands up and brings himself off the floor slowly, shaking slightly. Kibou addresses Pliskin.

"It's on the floor."

For a few seconds, Pliskin stares at Windows, but then turns and points his gun at everyone else. He seems to be on edge as well.

"I don't know about Charlie, but I give you my word that I did not go near that blood!"

He looks at everyone for a few seconds, then looks at his gun and puts the safety on.

"I guess you'll all feel a little easier.."

He puts the gun down on a nearby box.

"If somebody else was in charge."

He looks up at Randy.

"Randy, I can't see anybody objecting to you."

Randy looks at everyone, he seems nervous.

"I'm sorry fellas, but I-I'm not up to it."

Plush takes the chance.

"I'll take it."

Andy pulls out a sharp edged Bone by using "Bone Rush" and holds Plush at bay with it.

"Like hell you will."

Kibou grabs it and under his breath says "no you won't." He then turns to him.

"Maybe it should be somebody a little more even-tempered, Plush."

He looks at Andy who still holds his sharp bone. Andy looks down at it and then back to Kibou and gives it to him. Kibou holds it with the edge pointed down and away from everyone.

"Alright."

In the corner, Windows lets loose a sigh of relief, and puts his hands down.
