Meanwhile with Contessa…...

In an alley in London there lived a hobo.

This wasn't the cool kind of alley where Batman fought the rouges gallery. This was the genuine shit stain alley. It was lined with garbage bins and heaps of refuse (Lots of these). And until recently it was only occupied by one lonely hobo.

But, following the process of natural selection, he had at last managed to attract a female hobo. She was quite attractive, despite the hoboness. She also wore a really cool fedora.

Now they sat side by side in the alley way.

Occationally they were visited by a golden man.

The female passed it's mate a card.

He carefully read off it. "You need to take it easy" He read slowly occasionally glancing up the floating man before him. "How about a vacation?"

[INQUIRERY?]

"Time. Out" Mr Hobo carefully spelled out.

[DELAY?]

"No. Some time to chill" He winced at a nudge from the fedora wearing female hobo. "Maybe. Switch off the agents aggression while you are at it?"

[CONFUSION]

The female hobo buried her face in her hands. "This is going to take a while"

The buzzing sound of a propeller driven aircraft made her look up.

Overhead, an old bi plane was sky writing. It said "Dont Give up!"

"It's been three months!" Contessa sobbed into her fedora. Her hobo friend patted her shoulder.

Scion looked on in confusion.

Final omake to mark the end of the story.
