Tully looks at where the Vrock and girl once were and says, "Shit, that was bad." He looks over to the Type II demon and says, "Fire this employee and we will leave immediately." He points to Watney. "No...unless two of you want to take their places!" He grins ferociously. Tully says, "Nah, that isn't for me and he is coming with us one way or another, so unless you want a full-on war here, why don't you just give him up? I will gladly pay gold for his release." "Hmmm...that makes sense..." the demon replies thoughtfully. "I'll take ten gold pieces for him." "Is that all I'm worth?" says Watney, sounding surprised. "And not a copper more." Tully says, "You drive a hard bargain, but I understand your need to recover your losses. Here is your ten gold." He forks over ten gold. The demon pushes Watney towards Tully. "I hope you can get more production out of him than I did!" the monster snarls. "Who you with? Tim Hornball's? Blob Evans?" Tully looks shocked as he grabs Watney and drags him toward the door. "How did you guess? You better leave Blob Evans alone!" "McDougal's, dumbass!" Lo and Wang salute as they leave. You exit with Watney. Outside in the parking lot, the sun with the dour clown-face glowers down on you mercilessly. Cars crawl about aimlessly, it seems, while overweight souls bustle and waddle past you and into the Burger Thing. "So what do you want with me?" asks Watney, sounding none too pleased at being rescued. "I had a good job, though the food sucked."
