Hey Clark?

I'm really worried about Aaron. I think something's wrong with his baby, and not in a "it's not human" sense, but in a, I think it he might be brainwashing Aaron and Lane sort of way

As much as I would advise against killing babies, I can't help you.

...this is going to sound so heartless. But here goes:

I don't do this sort of thing anymore. And part of me promising not to do it means turning it down when it comes my way. I don't want anything to do with the Dynamo thing, or horror terrors, or fanboy kabukis or super f*cking weird, unexplained sh*t any more. I have a business to run. I have a girlfriend. I have a life. I will do anything in my power to make sure that Aaron and Lane are able to take care of their baby. If I have to, I will buy Lane a condo. But I'm not going to go tracking icky slimy things in the dark just for the chance to bleed to death all alone in a hole.

Talk to Gage. Or Sage.

I don't want you to go tracking icky slimy things in the dark. I just want you to care in a way that isn't throwing money at the problem. Talk to Aaron, please. Tell me if you get the same sense I do, or tell me I'm crazy and over-reacting.

I don't think you're heartless. I think you're acting complacent.

I've talked to Aaron. He sounds like the parent of a "special needs" child. Granted, this one's needs are a little more special than others, but the analogy still works.

Dying for one's cause tends to produce that kind of effect in me.

Fine.
