39 | --> "Cool!" Calvin said. "But what's down there? It's so dark, I can't see anything. Hey! Cats have night vision, right? Use that!"\ |
40 | "Fine," Hobbes said. He looked down, then doubled over and [[VomitIndiscretionShot threw up.]]\ |
41 | "What? What is it?" Calvin asked frantically.\ |
42 | "See for yourself," Hobbes moaned, clutching his chest.\ |
43 | Calvin grabbed a light bulb overtop a stall, extended it, and shone it inside the hole.\ |
44 | [[DisposingOfABody It was filled with bodies.]] |
45 | ** And then, shortly afterwards, in Chapter 3: |
46 | --> "Good." Jerome. "Do we know the story?"\ |
47 | "Absolutely," Jackie said. [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident "We "accidentally" burn down the building, tell everyone we couldn't get the kids out in time, and we look injured, so everyone knows the building collapsed."]]\ |
48 | "Excellent!" Jerome said. [[ImAHumanitarian "I bet those kids will taste good, too."]] |
49 | *** Then: |
50 | --> "But what does the skull signal mean?" Calvin said.\ |
51 | "I'll tell you what it means, Calvin!" came a voice. The duo turned around. Jerome and his cohorts were standing behind them. "It's only the symbol of our {{cult}}. It has branches all over the world. We are only this town's branch." |
52 | * WouldHurtAChild: The camp counselors ''[[ImAHumanitarian eat]]'' little kids. |
