Before knocking on the door, Carter and Horst had telepathically communicated with Ryan.
Vinnie's spell had worked although not quite in the way they expected. Vinnie, Carter,
Horst and Ryan were now all linked telepathically. It was a weak link in that they had to
concentrate in order to hear each other. They did not feel each others feelings or share
each others thoughts. However, the link became stronger with proximity which is what
helped Carter and Horst find Ryan. The closer they got, the easier it was for the three to
communicate with each other.
Carter and Horst were thinking of rescuing Ryan but Ryan pleaded with them and
persuaded them otherwise.
Carter asked, "You like having Dallas inside you."
Ryan said, "No, of course not. Please rescue me. I'm just asking that you do so in a clever
way to hide my embarrassment. I would hate for the rumors to get around school that I
had Dallas inside me."
So before knocking on Dallas' door, Carter and Horst worked out a plan.
Dallas answered the door.
Carter asked, "Hey, Dallas, have you seen a cloth that looks vaguely human."
Dallas asked, "Who wants to know?"
Carter said, "Some rivals decided to pull a prank on Ryan. We don't know how they got his
picture but they created a cloth to look just like him. We're trying to find it before anyone
else sees it."
Dallas said, "As a matter of fact, I did see it. It's amazing workmanship. I'd love to have
something like it. Do you know who created it?"
Carter said, "Yes, so do you know where it is?"
Dallas said, "I'm wearing it." Dallas pulled Ryan's head out of his shirt to show it off."
Horst said, "We want it back."
Dallas said, "Alright, but first introduce me to the creator. I want him to create another for
me."
Horst asked, "Are you really into that."
Dallas said, "Of course. A little kink is the spice of life."
Carter and Horst thought for a moment about what to do.
