It had been a while since they had left the lake and Cash, getting extremely annoyed with being bored, turned to look at Kevin's determined face.

"Why are you doing this?" Kevin blinked a while before his eyes slightly dropped down in shame. "Why are you trying to figure out Ben and how much pain he was in?" Kevin, Cash noted, was starting to look depressed.

"I messed up." He stated weakly. "I failed to notice that my friend was in trouble or hurt… I'm not going to-." Cash watched as something flashed behind his eyes before they glanced at him. "Did Ben ever say he was leaving?"

JT and Cash looked at each other not really sure what Kevin was saying before shrugging, "He didn't speak much, that was the first clue to everyone that something was up… but… he always carried around some bag and a cell, not sure if it was that alien tech you guys use though." Cash leaned back into the seat as he continued to watch Kevin's face, something was up and both bullies wanted in.

"In Ben's letters he talked about a person called 'Gory Blood', good be some code name, and how he was friends with Ben… it also sounded like something was going down." Kevin took a few turns before they stopped at a place Kevin knew instantly. Cash and JT were a little confused as they looked around and then spotted Max Tennyson's 'Rust bucket' mobile.

"Why are we at a trailer park?" JT looked around as he opened the door and peered around the empty area.

"That's Ben's Grandpa's place." Kevin pointed. "I've got a feeling we'll get a few answers here."

Cash, blocking Kevin's path with JT soon follow, raised a brow, "How?"

"Ben spends a lot of time with his grandfather and it's also the last place we were on the 23 of May." Cash and JT were confused as to why that date was so important. "Ben wrote it down on a paper, it seemed important; what, I'm following the only LEAD I have!" Nodding both bullies turned and began walking behind Kevin who, upon reaching the door, paused a few seconds.

Something wasn't right, he didn't hear Manny's yelling or any of the other 'wanna-be' plumbers kids. He looked at the handle and opened it before he knew why; the RV was empty.

"Probably at Mount Rushmore." Kevin said more to himself than anything; Cash and JT were confused as to why Ben's grandfather would be at Mount Rushmore when his grandson's funeral was tomorrow. Entering the RV Kevin wondered if it always looked this trashed… or…

"Yeah, something happened." He placed his hand in the pile of blood he knew must have belonged to Manny and he sighed. The place was trashed and there was cooling blood on the flat surfaces. Obviously they put up a fight but they didn't make it… no one made it…

"Holy shit!" Cash shouted as he took in what happened. "There's…"

"Shut up, not all of it is Ben's Grandfather's." Kevin stated. "He was training a few alien kids… their blood is mixed in it also." He noticed Cash's face went from horror to absolute panic. There was a murder in Bellwood killing off the Tennyson family.

"So, if it only after Ben's family?" Kevin shrugged. "Why don't you know? Don't you have like… sources or something?" JT shouted.

"I did have sources, that bastard Gory got to them, Archet is the only one left but he's petrified of getting on this 'Gory's' bad side… probably some assassin…" Kevin frowned as he began pushing button and slowly a compartment opened, Ben never really knew that Kevin knew he modified this area for his special stash of Sumo Slammers, and his eyes narrowed at a hologram projector.

Picking it up; he flicked it on before watching Ben appear.

"Hey, um, not sure who got this but my bets on Kevin-if it is you Kevin STOP STEALING MY SHIT FOR THAT CRUDDY CAR OF YOURS!- and now…" Ben coughed a few times and he grabbed something that looked like a cup of water. "You probably found my 'I'm Dead' box, yeah this recording was done on the 15 of June, so… Don't worry, I'm not suicidal, it's just a clue as to where I'd stash it." Kevin, motioning for them to head outside to his car, continued to watch the recording. "So, I need to tell you something important, that entry in that box was fake, I had to get rid of it because… you're not going to believe it even if I told you, nah, if it's Kevin, he'd sure go for it." Ben chuckled.

"Gory's going to reach Earth in the next three weeks, Kevin, and when he does, don't fight him… I… I did a few checks on what I could find and… yeah, Archet gave me a few things… he swore he wouldn't tell you because of 'what' Gory is…" Ben seemed to down cast his eyes. "I made a mistake in trusting him, Kevin, Gwen, Grandpa… Guys, I'm really sorry… On the 23 of May I got a message from a few of Kevin's contacts that were still alive… IF you ever see me again don't trust me, don't even try to save me… please, I…" Ben paused as a beeping sound was heard then a voice.

"Hey, Ben." Kevin froze in his seat; he failed to realize he was in his car, to look at Ben's face. "Got a few things to tell you, I'm already in Earth's atmosphere, so I'll be there soon… Oh, you better bury that box of yours, because you won't get a second chance when we leave." Ben leaned over and he nearly vanished from the holograph.

"I hear ya, I'll get on it… so… Where will you be landing?" Kevin waiting but no response came. "Yeah yeah, sure, I'll talk to you when I go to your contacts." Ben's voice was full of venom before Gory laughed and signed off.

"Kevin…" Ben stood up and left the screen. "You ever wondered what happened that day Aggragor messed with the omnitrix…" Kevin's breath hitched in his chest his heart beat quickening. "It caused a rift in space. I'm going to die because of it, so… Don't trust me when you see me, okay, Kevin." And the message clicked off leaving Kevin to nearly throw the device out his window.
