"Why not just go there, then?"
"We, uh, as I said, we wanted to take the town with us."
"What for?! What would you need to take with you if it's already a
'better world'? Wouldn't you make that better world worse just by
taking the town with you?"
The remains of the conspiracy looked at each other.
"I don't know, I just joined up," Kurt said.
"I wasn't privy to those early meetings, remember?" the Lab Coat Man
said. "I joined after Frank left."
"I thought it was your idea," Denny said to the Director.
"I thought it was... group consensus," he replied vaguely.
"So instead of just taking off for your new world, you do the one thing
that would eventually expose your plans to the rest of us?"
The Director looked to his co-conspirators for answers, but they were
looking back at him. He finally turned to Julia and shrugged.
"So where does that leave us?" Julia asked, turning on her companions.
"Do we defeat this conspiracy, save the town, and live happily ever
after? Is that what we're supposed to do?"
"Don't be silly!" Ritchie said. "They have to be stopped!"
"Why?! Because they kidnapped Kurt? Well, he's happy to be with them,
so that can't be the issue.
