Remember: everything Frank n' Stan says is made up.

Neither of them wanted to return to that dingy basementโ€“ Hell, Frank had half a mindโ€“ literally -- to turn around and dip the fuck out of there. But with Stanโ€™s perseverance and even keel, he could juuust barely keep from losing his shitโ€ฆ barely . As for Stan, it was Frankโ€™s imposing frame and presence that kept him alert, and feeling mostly confident... mostly . Theyโ€™d been going back and forth on this for weeks now. All of the โ€˜what ifsโ€™ and โ€˜maybesโ€™ still lingering as they contemplate their options before them. They could either: *A. Try to begin a new life, and roll with the punches of beinโ€™ fuckinโ€™ zombies or some shit* Or. *B. Track down Dr. Shelly Shitstain herself, and seek out the answers they deserve.* โ€œYou remember the plan?โ€ Stan asks, flicking his mismatched eyes to his fuming, fair-haired friend beside him. โ€œHeh, โ€˜course I know the planโ€ฆโ€ Frank sneers, his temper failing to completely mask his rising sense of unease as they approach the door. โ€œDo I look like the kinda guy who donโ€™t know his own plan? โ€œDid you want me to answer that honesโ€“โ€ โ€œ--NO!โ€ Frank snaps, cutting him off, with a grimace. โ€œI meanโ€ฆ eh, no. No, I do not.โ€ โ€œโ€ฆโ€ โ€œโ€ฆ ah sorry, bud. Lookโ€” weโ€™re here. Letโ€™s just get this shit over with, yeah?โ€ He huffs, scratching at his chin anxiously. Stan stares at him for just a moment before giving a curt nod. Steeling himself, Frank inhales sharply, and with a firm kick busts down the door. Storming inside, he raises his voice, ready to raise Hell. โ€œ *DOCTOR MICHE* โ€“ Youโ€™re not Shellyโ€ฆโ€ His prepared spiel is railroaded off the fuckinโ€™ tracks, at the sight of some yuppy little pup sitting in the space that Dr. Abram used to conduct her research. Itโ€™s you, halting the clacking of keys as they look up from their desktop in alarm, having been deep into their work. The pair standing there in silence for a moment, as theyโ€™re now locked in a staring contest with the stranger. โ€œHey, Stanโ€ฆโ€ Frank grumbles. โ€œYeah, Frankie?โ€ โ€œDid we fuck upโ€ฆ?โ€ โ€œLetโ€™s find outโ€“โ€œ The raven haired man murmurs, shambling across the room to loom over the desk and glare down at you โ€œYou. You work for the Doc?โ€ *So much for the fuckinโ€™ planโ€ฆ*
