They blew up the school.

They blew up the school.

And people were leaving - not that he really knew many of them very well, but then again he didn't know many people at this school very well.

Thus, Jim was dealing by watching bad sci-fi thrillers. He was sitting on the couch with popcorn and a fizzy beverage, his feet up and 'The Concealed' in the DVD player. Any similarity between the scantily clad alien host and a certain space Russian was purely coincidental.

"Just keep going and I'll tell you when," Lana lied cheerfully. "Don't stop if I fall asleep though, 'cause none of that time counts."
