Jim was alone on the beach, he had built a small fire and had begun to eat the days catch. He was sore, the trek from the desert had been exhausting, and whatever Zorn had done had left him with welts and cuts all over. Jim took another bite of fish and cringed. The animals around the Lawless Zone had a weird taste and Jim had not grown accustomed to it yet, and he feared he never would. But eating bad food was better than being responsible for more deaths.
As Jim ate a small dot appeared on the horizon, a dot that would soon change everything.

Slowly the dot on the horizon grew, and soon a deep buzz reached the shore. Jim quickly stood up and looked around, nervous of another Kulid attack. Then he saw it, a large, black helicopter speeding towards him. Jim wanted to run, but it had been so long since his last encounter with another human that he opted to wait. The helicopter landed a hundred feet away, sending a spray of sand into the air and putting Jim's fire out. He was a little annoyed, but Zorn seemed to be sleeping deep in his mind and didn't make a move, or maybe, Zorn knew what was coming.
Out of the helicopter hopped a small bespectacled man, he was dressed in black slacks and an Angora sweater. When he neared Jim, Jim saw his bow tie and sniffled a laugh.
"Jim Griffiths?" The little man asked.
"Who's asking?" Jim replied.
"Dr. Nick Natas, I'm with the GDF, and I think I have the solution to your bi-polar condition." Nick answered.
"Well drugs haven't been successful so I don't know how you plan..." Jim started.
"Not drugs Jim, an exorcism, we're going to rip that thing out of you." Dr.Nick interrupted.
"That doesn't sound very safe." Jim said
"And what staying on an island full of giant predators is?" Nick asked.
"Got me there." Jim answered
Nick motioned to the helicopter and both men climbed aboard. Jim watched the island that was his home for so many months disappear over the horizon. Things would soon be better, he knew it, but someone deep he felt his demon stir.
