Thomas froze when he saw Stretch. What was she doing here? How did she get here? Thomas looked toward the door hoping there was no one there. Especially Mindy. How the hell was he going to explain this? He had to get rid of Stretch before Mindy knew she was here. Thomas raised the meat cleaver in his hand and yelled in frustration.

"No! No!" Stretch said. "No good. No good."

Thomas stopped and lowered his arm and threw the cleaver to the ground. How could she possibly still think he was good? He showed her back at the radio station he wasn't good, at least not to strangers like her. Did Stretch like him or something? Was that why she followed him back to the hideout? What was it going to take to get her out of here?

Thomas wiped his bloody hands on his apron and looked back at the door. He hoped Mindy or anyone else wouldn't come in there. Thomas started thinking what he could do to get Stretch to leave. He knelt next to her and reached his hand out toward her. Did she want attention? Was that it? Thomas gently stroked her face and ran his fingers through her hair.

As he softly touched Stretch, Thomas couldn't help but be enamored by her again. He once again started looking at the differences between her and Mindy. Thomas ran his fingers through Stretch's short, straight black hair…much different from Mindy's long, tangled blonde hair.

Thomas quickly pulled away as he heard footsteps coming. It was just Chop Top.

"Come on, Tommy!" he said. "The cook's out there and he's chewing us out over his stake. 'You gotta run for the money now. Chase that dollar, you gotta go fast to catch it!'"

Drayton came, grabbing Chop Top.

"You dumb baboons!" he yelled. "You're too dumb to get it! You get back…!"

He pushed Chop Top out of Thomas' room.

"I'm tired of kicking your asses."

He turned back to Thomas who was still kneeling next to Stretch.

"What are you doing?" he asked. "You trying to hide something?"

Thomas whimpered and shook his head. No one could know about Stretch being there. He held up the face in his hand showing Drayton he was just giving some thought to it.

"Well, get that all patched up and working", he said leaving.

Thomas turned back to Stretch.

"Help", she whispered. "Help me. Please. Please help me."

Thomas nodded knowing he had to get her out of here before anyone saw her.

"Can you help me get out of here?" Stretch asked louder. "Can you help me get out of here?"

He nodded again this time letting her know to calm down and keep quiet. Thomas looked at the face in his hands and decided to put it on Stretch hoping it would disguise her.

"Put that down", she said. "Put that down."

Thomas shushed her knowing she wasn't going to shut up. He put the face over hers, hiding her face. She cried in disgust and reached up to take it off. Thomas grabbed her hands and pulled them away. He held his hands up telling her to stay there and not to move. Thomas got up and went over to the body he was slicing up, finding the man's hat. He was hoping that would help hide Stretch too.

As he placed the cowboy hat on her head and realigned the face on her, he couldn't help but think. Now she looked like a female version of himself. Stretch continued crying as Thomas tried to hide her. He was wondering what was her problem now? She wanted to get out, didn't she? What was it going to take to keep her quiet?

Thomas took Stretch's hands trying to cheer her up so she'd shut up. He pulled her up to her feet and started dancing with her. But no matter what he did, she kept on crying. Thomas spun her around hoping it'd cheer her up. But no, she continued to cry.

Both of them jumped as stone and rubble fell from the ceiling. Thomas looked up trying to figure out what happened. Was there someone else in the hideout? Was Stretch a part of this? He looked at her and pushed her down to the floor. Thomas had to go look and see what was happening. He grabbed Stretch and tied her up. He could deal with her later.

Thomas ran out the door, slamming it.

"Tommy!"

He froze to see Mindy running toward him.

"Tommy, what's wrong?" she asked. "The place is falling apart."

He shrugged. He honestly didn't know what was going on. Mindy ran ahead to see if Drayton and Chop Top knew about this. Thomas looked back at his room hoping no one would go in there and find Stretch.
