Title: does not refer to daytime, but realizations

Episode Forty-Five

"Dawning"

Reese checks Pizoku's pulse. "He's alive, unconscious but alive," He sighs with relief as he moves to let Taylor rip off the bindings.

"They're drugging him," Neah realizes as she examines the machine. "Unhook that," She says and Reese pulls the lead out of Pizoku's arm.

Neah places her hands on either side of the younger boy's face and moves him towards her. "Pizoku, honey, can you here me?"

"But mama-san, I don't know whose condoms those are," Pizoku murmurs in his sedated sleep.

Neah, Reese and Taylor exchange glances. "Someone had an interesting childhood."

"We'll have to ask about that later," Reese says with a small grin. "Pizoku? Can you open your eyes?"

Pizoku shifts a little on the chair. "Sleepy."

"Wake up," Taylor says firmly but still gentle.

Neah and Reese jump as Pizoku's eyes shoot open and he makes a startled noise, flails his arms and tries frantically to escape. "Whoa," Neah glances at Taylor as Reese catches Pizoku in his arms. "That worked!"

"No," Pizoku cried out, trying to get away, "Stay back, keep him back!" He yells, hiding behind Reese.

"Pizoku, what happened?" Reese asks in utter confusion. He sees the same confusion on Neah's face and turns to look at Taylor.

But Taylor's face is one of grim recognition. "I killed him."

Meanwhile, in the clock tower

"I totally agree with Daffodil," Clyde huffs collapsing on the landing. "Next time I vote we fly."

"I'm don't feel bad," Boo wafts airily.

Clyde glares. "You're dead. You don't feel anything."

Boo looks hurt. "There, there, he's just a bitter little thing," Ally says kindly from 'Ron's' shoulders.

A muffled noise alerts their attention. "What did he say?" Kitty ask, looking up at 'Ron'.

"Ouch!" 'Ron' says as Ally rips off the duct tape. "Bloody Hell!"

Ally thwaps him. "Language!"

"I asked if we were there?" Ron pants, gesturing about. "The stairs are finished. Where is this thing?"

"Right there." Kitty points to the glass with the numbers on them.

"The clock?" Naomi is confused.

"The face." The voice of Jim Morrison surprises them all to turning and looking.

"Oh my." Naomi's eyes widen at the sight of the odd little gun being held by the Door Mouse.

Kitty glares at Jim. "Well this changes the scenery."

Marisol plays with her bouncy red ball. Mama and Papa have been rushing around the small home all day packing things up and such due to with some Alert that flashed on the television earlier, before the strange shaking. But it does not matter to Marisol, because she and Pepe have been playing out on the front lawn and having a grand time.

They played catch this morning, and then she had snacks outside and had a great time chasing Pepe when he stole one from her plate. Now she is bouncing her big red ball as Pepe lays down under a bush and pants.

She does not notice the odd shadow at first. She looks up to see a strange looking bird hovering above her. Almost Chicken like.

"Te juegas?" She asks, holding up the ball. The 'Chicken' smiles.
