She had used the Fenton emergency blanket to haul him into the RV while doing as little extra damage as possible. A soft moan escaped him as she drove carefully but quickly. She hoped hat Jack had started with the preparations. They needed to do a full realignment or he would collapse from the inside out. "Hopefully Jack hadn't started taking the equipment down."

She glanced back in the rear view mirror at her son. His eyes were shut tight and his knees ouch his nose. The rest of his body was concealed by a blanket, making him look smaller, more fragile.

"And that's the story Jazzy pants." Jack shoved another piece of fudge into his mouth.

"Now I need to get started with preparations, it's been a while since the equipment has been used, so it will take some time to get it running. I need you to wait for your mother and help her in any way you can." he got up and lumbered down to the lab.

Jazz sat shell shocked, an untouched piece of fudge in front of her. 'How could mom and dad keep something this big from me like that?'

A long time pasted. 'But Danny kept it from them too. Should I tell them?'

'No, not dad anyway. As soon as I need to, I will.' she nodded to her self… 'He'll be ok, so he will be able to tell them himself.'

Just then her mom pulled to a screeching stop outside. Jazz jumped up and opened the back door, to find her mother shuffling with something in the back set. 'Or is it possible that I'm wrong, that this if far worst than I thought?'

"Mom?"

"Open the door; we need to get him down to the lab." the older woman stepped down from the RV with a bundle in her arms. One Jazz recognized.

"Is that?"

"Yes."

The lines are all off. It could take days to reset him." she crossed her arms.

"The plane leaves tomorrow. Do you want to risk the flight?" Jack turned a dial, bringing up another angle.

"I don't think he will make it. The equipment takes a long time to set up, perhaps we can temporality stabilize him and finish the job after the move."

Jazz sat in a corner, utterly confused. Evidently they had a second basement. One that no one had gone into since they moved here. There was a lot of working equipment down here that she would never have dreamed her parents would have, it was kind of creepy.

"He could easily go down hill fast, and with out the equipment, we wouldn't be able to stop it."

"Your right." tears had started brimming at her mother's eyes. "We'll have to postpone the move.'

Jazz noticed a slight twitch from the table. He was naked, but the wires and fur made it hard to see anything.

"Don't cry Maddie. We'll make him good as new. I promise." Jack comforted his wife with a pat on the back.

Another twitch, this time from the tail. "Mom."

"This is all my fault. I should have checked him over as soon as I saw the signs."

"Mom!"
