“Well hell, Dante.” Nick yanked the flyer off another tree in downtown Talbot’s Peak and handed it to his friend and fellow protector. “This has to have come from one of the human residents. Most, if not all of the shifters know Dec 21st is a beginning, not an end.”
“I agree, but even with all of the precautions we’ve taken and words we’ve put out, human propaganda is a powerful thing. Some of the young shifters might certainly be confused. How many humans stayed in town after the Halloween Hijinks?”
“A few. Ally and the kids top the known human list…”
“It’s not them, Nick. Ally loves it here and has her hands full with the hotel job and her broad. Besides, Hawke’s been watching over them.”
“Naked Purple fairy?” Nick would love for it to be the painted fool, if only so he could scare the piker out of his town and Ziva’s mind for good.
“Doubtful, as he hasn’t been seen around town in a good long time. Keep him on the list though…you know, for your peace of mind.”
“Smart ass.”
“By tomorrow things will have settled down, Nick. We just have to keep watch for anyone who panics. You have your zip cuffs?”
“Oh yeah…” Nick twirled the black plastic around one finger and gave Dante a grin. “…and I’m hoping Ziva gives me a reason to use them.”

Elsewhere around Talbot’s Peak…
“Mommy, Mommy…”
Ally grabbed her screaming daughter around the waist and looked her over for injuries. “What is it, Rosie?” She asked, not seeing any reason for concern.
“The end is near. I don’t want Ms. Iradova to leave.”
“Rosie…” A shudder went down Ally’s back to hear her daughter speak with such finality about the sweet, grandmother-y woman who lived at the hotel. Iradova Skywing had taken Ally and the kids into her heart and treated them like family.
“Hawke says it will be okay, but I’m going to miss her, Mommy.”

I'm still here and so is McDonald's. How about the rest of you?
Serena, you CANNOT threaten or kill an old lady this close to Christmas. If she has to go, hold off until early January at least.
I'm still here as well, and thank goodness Micky D's is still there...the world would be a sad place without the bacon, egg and cheese biscuits!
Hehe...would it help if I told you that Iradova is Hawke's mom and she must go for him to return?
Grandma got runover--oops, wrong song. I always wondered if those people freaking out about the end of the Myan calendar freak out every Deceber 31st and don't see a day on it for January 1st... or if they just go buy another caledar like most sain people do...
Oh, thanks for the explanation about Hawke's mother. We don't want the kind grandmother to leave before Christmas like Pat said.
Yeah, still here. Like one man I heard say. Yeah, the world as it has been is ending. But not Mother Earth and her people, her shapeshifters, supernaturals, animals, and plants. We're not ending. We're at the threshold of a whole new way of living. Yay!
LOL...ya gotta wonder don't you, Rebecca. :D
"A threshold to a new way of living." I like that, Savanna!
Okay, if it brings back Hawke I'm good with it. But not until after Christmas.
I'm glad the world didn't end, because McDonald's just brought back the McRib up here. I love those!
And where are my cosmic-ray-induced superpowers, huh?
McDonald's guarantees you won't get super powers. It's part of the global plot. Sorry...
I agree, Pat...where are the superpowers?? Personally, I was hoping for a little elastic girl action myself. Can you imagine being able to write with one hand (stretchable fingers) and vacuum with the other(stretchable arms). Dang, I could get so much done!! :D
Ooooh, that could be interesting, elastic super powers... super health would be nice... and/or the ability to simply regenerate like some of the yogis... then no one would have the power to kill your body permanently... and you could leave on your on terms.
Oh boy, a combo of those three would rock! Super health would really be nice... :)
I wouldn't mind a guy with elastic powers. There must be a good reason they call him "Mr. Fantastic."
Pat... lol...
