Edd cooked what he could for dinner as Tord watched more TV with Tom and Matt.

Tom looked over at Tord.

"Hey.." He tapped him on the shoulder.
"Yes..??" Tord spoke nervously.

Tom sighed and placed his hand on Tord's shoulder.

"Alright. I don't trust you, and thats obvious. But I need you to do something.."
"What..?"
"I need you to think as far back as you can, and try and remember what the cure was."
"... Tom I don't think-"
"Tord. Just do it."

Tord hesitated.. But nodded slowly and say in silence when Matt turned the TV off and looked at them both.

"I remember...uhm... I... Oh! Oh!! Yeah! Uhm.. Well I remember mixing something... It was... Green.. And purple liquids if I'm sure... And Paul and Pat were charting it.. They were cautioning me about something.."

Tord tried to think more, but with Tom staring at him, he felt like he would exploded if he didn't give the right answers.

"I went up to a zombie.. I think it was a male... And infecting the liquids into the arm of the zombie... They screeched at me but.. Were soon human again!! Oh!! Haha!"

Tord laughed and hopped to his foot and Tom stood confused.

"What-"
"The chemicals!! I know where they are!!"

Tord did a little dance and Tom stood up.

"Where?!"
"At the base... Problem is, we used it all the first time.. And The files were lost... But I remember the colors.. And what I did.. Just not how to get to them.. Or in what order.."
"Well that's reassuring."

Tord snatched Tom's phone and threw it at Tom.

"But!! If we had Paul's number-"

Edd ran in the room.

"I DO!!!"

He picked up his phone and dialed the number like he was racing someone.

It rang eight times before Paul finally answered.

"..Hello?" Paul's voice rang out.
"Paul!!! It's Edd!"
"... Why are you calling me.. We haven't hung out in years.."
" .. Because Tord and I need your help-"

A loud crash of a chair hit the floor and Paul practically screeched from the other side.

"TORD IS WITH YOU?!!!" Paul laughed.
" Yes..?! "
"W-WHERE IS HE?!"

Tord held out his hand as Edd handed him the phone.

"Ello!"
"TORD!???"
"This is he." He said jokingly.
"Y-you're alive?"
" ..no.. I'm not.. "

Tord heard Paul's emotion change.

".. I.. I thought so.."
"But it is okay!"

Tom cringed at hearing Tord lie.

"Anyway.."
"Oh! Yes! I need to get to the base, so I can make the cure!!"
"You.. You remember how to do that?!"
"Sortof.. But I need to get driven there.. I don't have a clue where to go.."

Tord heard Paul's laugh, it was sad, but happy?

"Where are you currently..?"

Tord handed the phone to Edd.

Edd exchanged addresses and soon hung up.

"He'll be here in a few hours." Edd commented, walking out and coming back with dinner.

Tom smacked his lips.

"Finally. I'm starving." He laughed and smirked at Tord.
"Oh shoo!" Tord sarcastically remarked.
