"If only I could have warned you about the abduction stuff sooner then everything would have been fine" Stevens said.
"I've really dropped the ball"
I placed my hand on his shoulder.
"Don't beat yourself up like that Steven. If it wasn't for me agreeing with the idea for collecting the humans' none of this would have happened" I explained.
"You're right Universe, Ms Diamond this is all your fault. Ha" Mayor Dewey laughed.
This caused me to narrow my eyes at him.
'You know what. I honestly think Nanafua would make a better mayor'
"How about we call an impront to a town meeting on the Broadwalk. We'll tell everyone what happened, how you weren't involved at all and everyone will feel better and vote for you in the next election" Steven suggested.
Mayor Dewey agreed to in saying the ball was back in Steven's court.

"So in conclusion, mayor Dewey had nothing what-so-ever to do with the abductions" Steven said through the megaphone.
"Everything was my fault because I unknowingly provided some space gems with a list of names and everyone endanger"
Steven nudged me and I took the megaphone.
"Steven isn't the only one here to blame. I also went along with the Diamond's idea to collect the humans. So I do apologize for that"
I gave him back the megaphone.
"Mayor Dewey would never do anything purposely endanger the town. He basically keeps a low profile and doesn't get involved in much of anything" Steven concluded. This caused mayor Dewey to sweat nervously.
"Yeah well, maybe he should be involved!" A citizen shouted.
"He's the mayor!" Another shouted.
Soon enough everyone started to shout.
"Thanks for listening and please vote for him for the next Beach City Mayor elections" Steve said.
Mayor Dewey took the megaphone from Steven and generously laughed.
"Wow this whole abduction business was a really close call, wow" He said wiping his sweat off his forehead causing it to go in Steven's face.
"But look around you. Everyone is safe and accounted for"
"That's not true! What about my friend Lars?" Sadie questioned.
"Who?" He asked.
This caused me to facepalm.
'Well he dug his own grave now he got to lay in it'
"Wha-? Lars! Lars Barriga?! Mister and Mrs Batriga's son! Did you even know, he was still missing? Did you know he was somewhere in space? What kind of mayor does not know where his own people are lost in space?!" Sadie steamed with teats in her eyes.
