I woke up duct taped to a chair. The others were standing around me.

"Guys- what- where are we?"

"We're in a motel room. Are you okay?"

"But we were looking for Khan Worms and Alfie squashed one and then I can't remember anything after . . . Wait did I get possessed by a Khan worm?" I asked.

"Yeah that one right there," Jason pointed at a pile of grey goo on the floor. "We zapped it out of you."

"So what all happened?"

"Well we were trying to kill the worms. There was this whole little colony of them. So we were squashing and tasering the little death caterpillars and we finished and turned around and you were gone."

"How long ago was that?" I was a little scared of the answer.

"A week ago." said Alfie.

"A week? What did I- the Khan worm -what did it do while I was . . . Not in here?"

"Um you killed twenty-eight people and a cop. Our faces are all over the news again."

"Oh god," I muttered.

"Maria it's not your fault-"

"Save it. Just somebody get the freakin duct tape off of me."

"Oh yeah forgot!"
