[The Richie that greets the network today is much smaller than usual, in the ballpark of seven, although even now he's mostly limbs, like a puppy that hasn't quite grown into itself yet. He stares at the screen with wide eyes, fear currently kept in check, but it looks like it could spill over at a moment's notice; he's seven today, and for the next few days. Seven wasn't exactly the best of years.

He's got his knees pulled up to his chest and skinny arms wrapped around them, and he chews on the inside of his lip for a moment before actually addressing his communicator.]


Seth? Are you there?

I can't find Buster.

[Buster's a green stuffed bunny with two different button eyes Richie didn't go anywhere without until he was about ten. Honestly? He's probably under the bed, but like hell is Richie looking under there right now. He is most definitely on TOP of the bed.]

[There's a sense here. A hunch...]

Maybe he's in a closet or something.

Maybe he got lost and wandered in there by accident.

Sometimes people do things they shouldn't do. I don't know why. Do you want me to help you look for him?

What does he look like?

I'm good at finding things. Where did you see him last?

Do you know what his soul looked like? The I'd be able to find him really fast.

Is a buster a dog? I saw a dog before. It was huge.

A rabbit? That's a dumb pet. You should get a dog.

Is not. I'm plenty smart and he's just a rabbit.

It's cool, Richie, I'm here. I'll catch up with you in a minute and get him back for you.

[He has a vague memory of Richie's room number, though he can't remember why.] I got some candy for you too. [Why the hell there is a big bowl of candy in his room he has no idea, but he isn't about to question it because there are Snickers minis involved.]

Crap. None of the grownups thought to check, did they? Man, grownups are stupid. I'll be right there. Is the door unlocked or do I have to jimmy it?

[Dammit dammit dammit. Nobody checked for the Underbed Monster this morning. He hurries up to Richie's room and tries the door, already fishing in his pocket for a battered credit card.]

Yeah well, you know most kids are stupid too. Spoiled. Not tough like us. You hold tight. I'm coming in.

[He pushes the door open and strides in with a scowl, doing his best to look tough and businesslike. Grabbing a battered penlight out of his pocket, he turns it on and sticks his head right under the bed like a mechanic checking out a car's undercarriage. For a while he used to hold a piece of glass or a sharp pencil, or later his stolen pocketknife, when checking for monsters. But he never found anything more dangerous than a tiny mouse, so now he just did it to reassure Richie.]

All clear. Hang on. He fell down between the bed and the wall again.

[He squirms his way under the bed, wondering how in the hell he got too big to make it all the way under. When he comes out he has dust bunnies in his hair.]

Here we go.

I'm your brother. All part of the job. [He ruffles his brother's hair instead of hugging him, always trying to be Mr. Cool.]

Okay! Well, first we gotta get some food to go with this candy, cause I don't trust these guys to feed us enough. Then we should have some fun. The grownups are trying to corral everyone in one of the rooms, but I say to Hell with that. This isn't daycare. This is a prison. We've gotta disobey. It's the pr-p--pricipal of the thing.

We'll find it. Whoever's running this place doesn't pay attention very much. If we can't I'll start jimmying locks.

[A slow grin.]

I'm sure there are some places around here that could use...redecorating.

Yup. All we have to do is find out where they store their food, and get some ammunition from the bathrooms.

It's Lua. I'm supposed to watch you while you're here.

[Since Cas is a kid, someone's got to, right?]

You were here before, but you might not remember it. That's all right.

[She's not going to get too complicated.]

Kind of like that. But I'm here for both you guys.

It's a Dark Night

hot air hangs like a dead man
from a white oak tree
people sitting on porches
thinking how things used to be
dark night
dark night

the neighborhood was changing
strangers moving in
a new boy fell for a local girl
when she made eyes at him

she was young and pretty
no stranger to other men
but doors were being locked at night
old lines were drawn again

I thought things like that
didn't matter anymore
I thought all the blood
had been shed long ago
