[Don't make any sudden moves, Henry. You're twenty-some feet off the ground.]

I think you should.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry knew that covering his eyes would do no good. So he just watched the ground and wished he hadn't thrown his shovel away. He could see it from where he hung.]}

WHAT ABOUT IT?

_{[He was under the impression that he had to shout so that the monster could hear him.]}

[heavyweaponsbot]

Waiting.

[He twitches his fingers. Very slightly. Just enough to make Henry bounce a little.]

For an apology.

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[Henry lets out a yelp.]

[An apology? Over the hair prank? He looked up at the robot, a frazzled, broken little photographer. He thought about it. It would be the most sensible thing to do...but he was Henry Townshend! He was 21/21! He was a destined god-killer! He wasn't going to be bullied by some stupid space robot.]

[He squares his jaw and squints.]</sub>

No.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Ironhide's good optic squints right back.]

[He casually shakes out his free hand. Allowing the glowing orange barrel of his fission cannon to emerge. No, he would never use it on a human being, but Henry doesn't need to know that.]

What was that?

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[That...was not something Henry had counted on.]

[He drew his knees up like a dangled kitten and held his hands out to block the light.]</sub>

I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

[heavyweaponsbot]

[One shake of his arm and the cannon vanishes. He sets Henry down -- very gently.]

Was that so hard?

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The photographer's legs go out from under him. He slumps there like a rag doll with his arms over the back of his head.]}

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He crouches down.]

[And pokes him.]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The Henry goes SQUAWNK.]}

[heavyweaponsbot]

Knock it off.

[no_ufo_ending]

You got your apology! Leave me alone!

[heavyweaponsbot]

Stand up and quit squeaking, then I will.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Slowly Henry wobbles to his feet. He doesn't look back at Ironhide as he makes his way over to the shovel he dropped.]}

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Ironhide... just stands there, looking down at him expectantly.]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[He grabs it up and stomps passed Ironhide pointedly.]}

I have a serial killer to find.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Hopefully you are less afraid of them than of me, boy.

[no_ufo_ending]

I'm not scared of him. _{[That was a lie.] It's my job.}

[heavyweaponsbot]

No?

You sure?

[no_ufo_ending]

Joseph thinks I can do it.

_{[He shakes the shovel at Ironhide before checking the park bathroom to see if the hole is still there.]}
