Magnet and Alan fell into silence. At least when it came to talking with each other. Alan was getting used to the guys, and the name Squid. He still wasn't totally sure why he had it, but he went along. Even when Pendanski walked into the Wreck Room, yelling "I have a letter here for Alan," Alan responed "Tha name's Squid!"

Pendanski just tossed the letter at him and left.

"Hey, this says José!" Alan tossed it over at Magnet, who was playing pool.

He looked at it. "Man, I'm sure it says Alan." He tossed it back.

They started throwing it back and forth, each saying it said the other's name.

Finally X-Ray got up and grabbed it, ripping it open. "Shut up and listen you two," he said. "It doesn't matter who it's for now, everyone who wants to listen can." He began reading it:

"Why, hello X-Ray. I was wondering if you would be the one to share this with everyone. But since you're the type that would, I'm not surprised you're reading it right now."

X-Ray let the letter fall to the floor. "What kind of joke is this?" he demanded.

Zigzag reached and picked up the fallen letter.

"Yo, Zigzag, thanks for picking this letter up. It really doesn't belong on the floor."

He stopped and looked up at the crowd around him. He swallowed, then kept reading.

"I know this will seem really freaky to all you guys, but really, it's not. I can predict everything you're going to do just by how well I know you."

Zig looked at Magnet and Alan, who shrugged.

"I know what you're thinking, Zig: Where's the cameras? Well, there aren't any. And no, there is no spy in the camp. I know, I know. This is cheesy, but work with me here. I'm sitting on this damn train in the baggage compartment trying to write this thing. If you can tell by my shaky handwriting, then you'll see how much trouble I'm going through. I'm not going anywhere on this train, I'm just riding along. That's why I'm where I am."

Zigzag snorted. "Thh!" He handed it over to Sil, who stared at the writing, his eyes not moving. He handed it to Alan who didn't get a good enough grip on it and then it fluttered to the floor where Barf Bag picked it up.

"Hey, Bag! You should be glad to know you'll be getting out of there soon. I can't tell you when, or where, but I can tell you you aren't stuck in GL forever. No, don't put this away just yet. Good boy. I know what you were thinking, and what you are thinking right now. But I won't share your thoughts with everyone. Sil will be leaving before you, Bag, and another kid will come in. Take him into your group without question. I'll see you when're out of there, but for now, take care."

Baf Bag stopped, stared at the last word, then said "Love."

"Man, that's it?" Magnet demaned, grabbing it from him. "You guys just made all that sap up!"

"Did not!" Bag said.

"I read it," Zig said.

X-Ray nodded.

Alan grabbed the paper from Magnet. "There's nothing on here!"

Barf Bag, X-Ray, and Zigzag all grabbed the paper at once, ripping it into three pieces. They looked over each piece then at each other's. Sure enough, it was an empty piece of paper. They stared at each other.

"Where's the envelope?" Alan asked.

Sil handed it to him.

"Man, that's blank too!" Magnet announced.
