- The Headless FALN Rider -- he could appear at any minute!
- There is nothing.
- You holding it together there, Meltdown Cop?
- Do you feel that?
- The dome-shaped plastic buoy still bobs up and down in the water amidst the trembling…

- "One moment..." You can hear her shuffling through some papers.
- There's some tare, an empty cigarette package, and a crumpled kebab wrapper in the trash…
- "Are you serious?" The lieutenant's face changes immediately, taking on a more sombre…

- "Silence -- a great comment to such a conundrum."
- "Me too," he says quietly. "But I wouldn't count on any drastic changes in our lifetimes."
