Summary: When I.M.P is told to kill an old piece of shit for their client, things sure do happen. 

****

In a room, Millie goes in.

Millie: Hey, Moxx. Got anythin' on Billie's disappearance? 

She is surprised to see Moxxie talking to lights.

Millie: Moxx?

Moxxie: *Excited* Millie, come here! Billie's reaching out to us!

Millie: Through...lights?

Moxxie: Hey, Billie, say hi to mom!

The lights brighten and then fade.

Millie begins to tear up and smile.

Millie: MY BABY!!!

She goes over and hugs the ball of lights.

Millie: Are you alive? One blink for yes, two for no, alright?

The lights flicker once.

M&M are relieved and cry.

Moxxie: Are you safe?

The lights flicker again...twice, to M&M's concern.

Blitzo shows Loona, now in her hellhound form, around the place.

Blitzo: This is the receptionist desk, where Dad-I mean, Moxxie, taught me how to take care of calls. This is the weapons room, where we keep all the guns and knives and stuff. And this is where I play video games and listen to music.

Loona: Music? 

Blitzo: Yeah. My favorites are Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard, Metallica, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Oasis, Rihanna, The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Halsey, Kanye West, and Fiona Apple. There are also others, like uh...

Loona: Labrinth?

She looks at a disc for Labrinth.

Blitzo: Oh...which song?

Loona: Uhh...Never Felt So Alone?

Soundtrack: Never Felt So Alone - Labrinth

They play the song, as Loona moves her head to the song.

Moxxie: Uh, Blitz? We have a client.

Blitzo enters the room, and sees a hat-wearing, goggled sinner with Doc Ock-like tentacles...and the wall broken down.

Loona gets in a prowling stance and growls.

???: Don't be afraid! I'm Loopty Goopty! Ghastly inventor of all things loopy and goofy!

Blitzo: He's kinda...what's the word, Mike?

Mikey: Cool.

Blitzo: *Awkwardly* Yeah...cool...

Loona: You smell fresh. Did you die recently? 

Loopty Goopty: Yes! Two hours ago, in fact!

Striker: Woah, two hours in and you already want revenge? I like this guy already!

Loona: Uh, you could've used the door, dude.

Loopty Goopty: Shut up, dear puppy! I am eccentric, and must therefore do eccentric shit!

Loona growls as Blitzo then calms her down, while Loopty gives Striker a photo of an old guy.

Loopty Goopty: *Singsong* This is the guy I need you to kill!!!
