Chapter 16
Meanwhile, Fenchurch, Arthur, Ford and Bob were in a hotel in some city. Bob was terrified because the curse was coming true and soon his brain would be devoured as well and the creature would be at full strength.
Suddenly, Wonko the dolphin appeared from out of a corner followed by some other nameless dolphins. Everyone who had a gun put it up, Ford didn't have a gun so he held up a spoon. Wonko said, "now, now, put down the weapons, we only want to talk." They did so, Ford cautiously lowered his spoon.
"For years, we the dolphins have guarded the city of Islington to prevent the creature, Zaphod, from being raised. Now that we have failed, thanks to you, the world will be bored to death. He is very strong and will be stronger once he has killed all who opened the book of the boring. There is no mortal way to kill this creature, we would appreciate your assistance in killing Zaphod."
"Okay," answered Fenchurch, realizing that it was all her fault, "we will come with you to help." Arthur actually didn't feel like helping he would rather go home and drink tea but went along to look like a hero in front of Fenchurch.
Wonko looked pleased. "Come along then, he is already raising his followers from the grave, beware the politicians." With that he walked out the door, expecting them to follow. They didn't, so he came back, told them to follow and then walked out the door again.
