"What are you doing here?" I asked him confused.

"Saving your ass apparently," Wolf said bluntly.

"And the others?"

"They fared better than you did," Wolf replied, "that was a really stupid stunt you pulled there. You're way out of the league of those people."

"Where are we anyway?" I asked him again.

"This is my ship," Wolf replied, "The Wolfen. Grab your shit because you have some explaining to do with General Pepper."

"What about Fox and the others?"

"They we're still looking for you for a while because your communicator was stripped. About 8 hours after we saved your ass we finally told them. It was quite hilarious watching them look for you completely lost."

"Did anybody ever tell you what an asshole you are?"

"You're not the first, not by a long shot. Now go grab your shit already." He stood there watching as I walked back into the room and gathered my stuff. Equipping them in there proper place. Once I was all geared up I walked back out. He nodded his head towards the other way and walked off. I reluctantly followed him. As much as I didn't like the way he talks to me he posed a gut wrenching point. I failed my first mission and probably pissed off the Claxan worse than I should have. But what could I have done? If I laid down my sword they'd have killed me anyway.

I continued following him for a while and as I did I looked around. It looked very similar to the Great Fox in many ways. The major difference is it had darker colors throughout the interior. I guessed it suited the Star Wolf team very well. We got to an elevator and he pressed the button leading to the bridge. The elevator shifted up for a few seconds and then the door opened up revealing the bridge. It was very similar to the Great Fox. The walls we're black and so was the carpeted foyer. The lights we're dim but a visible red strewn across the floor. I walked inside to see that both Panther and Leon we're talking to each other when they turned around to see me. They both gave a slight smirk and walked towards me. I ignored them for a second as I looked for Trevor, Lucian, and 8. They we're nowhere to be found.

"Where are the others?" I asked finally.

"They're in the training area discussing how relieved they are," Panther replied sarcastically.

"That's not what we're concerned about right now," Leon said. Wolf came up from behind me and now they surrounded me in a circle. I looked one of them to the other. I was a little nervous about what they had in store for me, but I wasn't showing it. A question then popped into my head.

"What we're you doing on Sauria anyway?" They looked at each other for a little bit.

"Should we tell him?" Leon asked Wolf.

"We've been sent to spy on the Claxan for about a month now," Wolf said bluntly.

"For a month?" I asked confused, "I thought these guys just showed up."

"They showed their faces just now," Panther said. There was a hint of anger in this statement. "The military has been noticing suspicious activity in that region in the Lylat system."

"Okay," I said a little annoyed, "then what is it they want? Why did they ask me all these questions about Corneria anyway?"

"They believe that they can invade Corneria," Leon said to me, "by the way they asked all these questions is they're looking for a weakness to exploit."

"Are they terrorists?" I asked them.

"It seems like it," Wolf replied, "we don't know their true intentions though. They are a pretty sizeable group."

"You mean there are more of them?" I asked. This time I did show some nervousness.

"There are 23 to be exact," Panther said, "Cougar leads them so he is Claxan number 1. Arxgon and Draxor show up at numbers 4 and 7 respectively. Roxanne is their number 14."

"How do you know all this?" I asked him.

"That's for me to know and you to not," He said and with that walked out of the room.

"That's enough for now," Wolf said, "we'll be a day before we reach Corneria. We can't use any fuel cells to give us the speed boost because they can track it. We don't need their fleet finding us. Even the three of us can't take on all of them unfortunately. And if we can't, then you wouldn't last a second out there. Feel free to take a look around the ship if you like. Just don't touch anything you don't know and stay away from the dorms." And with that he took off and walked out following Panther. I turned to Leon who only smiled at me. This smile was a little strange because it wasn't the taunting smirk I saw earlier. It was more like when I was with Fox and Falco in the shower. Shortly after he walked out also leaving me alone here inside the bridge. I walked to the window and looked into the infinite reaches of space. I didn't know where exactly I was. I did see a nebula in the distance that looked like a Y.

Wolf followed Panther to the dorms and into Panther's room.

"What was that all about?" Wolf asked all seriously, "something's got you pissed off."

"I don't feel like talking about it," Panther said and threw his blood sword onto the bed. He then took off his red uniform top exposing a plain white short sleeved undershirt.

"It's about Ryan isn't it?" Wolf asked him plainly.

"No," Panther said looking away, "it's about the Claxan."

"You're lying," Leon said as he walked into the room, "I know you're tell."

"Oh yeah what?" Panther said annoyed.

"You looked away from Wolf when you said it," Leon answered coldly, "you always tell the truth when you look them directly in the eyes. I know Wolf's tell to. He always says hmph before he speaks when he's lying."

"And what your tell?" Wolf rebuttled.

"I don't have one," Leon said lightly chuckling and scratching the back of his head.

"That was your tell right there," Wolf said, "now shut up. Now what was it you're angry about Panther?"

"Okay," Panther said turning right to face them, "it's both okay? I can't tell you why the Claxan has me angry nor about Ryan."

"We know," Wolf said, "we both know you like Ryan."

"What do you mean?" Panther said, "I don't like Ryan."

"We don't care if you do Panther," Leon said smiling, "we won't tell anyone."

"The only way either of you would say that is unless you like him to," Panther said.

"Hmph," Wolf began, "that's absurd." Leon gave a small chuckle and scratched the back of his head.

"I don't know what you're talking about," He said thereafter.

"You see you do like him," Panther shouted right there, "damn hypocrites." Wolf and Leon sighed but nodded.

"You win Panther," Wolf said, "we all like Ryan and he's here on the ship."

"I'm listening," Panther said.

"All we need to do is make sure he's alone and the other losers don't know what's going on," Wolf suggested.

"How do we do that?" Panther asked him.

"I've got an idea," Leon shot out into the air and began whispering to the two. They all huddled together as Leon spoke out his idea.

I continued looking on out the window to the many different stars and all. No matter how many times I have seen this I couldn't help but get hypnotized and lost in my thoughts. It seemed to fly into my head all at once.

"What have I gotten myself into now?" I asked to myself. I continued to think. How are the others doing? I hope they're not worried about me. Why did I do all of this in the first place? Why am I here? Why haven't I gone looking for a way home yet? Who exactly are the Claxan? What did they want? What were they after? Why weren't they all surprised when they saw me as a human? It seemed as if they knew what I was already. And what about home? I was pretty sure they already gave up looking for me anyway.

I looked away from the window and walked up to the captain's chair where the console was. I thought for a moment and decided to take a look at it. I wanted to talk to Trevor, Lucian, and 8 but was in no mood to look for a few hours all lost. I sat in the chair and turned on the console. I slowly surged through the many options typing in the almost foreign hologram keyboard until I got to where I wanted, the security footage. I surfed through the different sections of the Wolfen starting with the dorms. I noticed that Star Wolf was in one room talking to each other. I wasn't interested in what they had to say and switched it. The next room was the engine room. I saw all of the different tanks and gauges and all that filled the engine room. I looked on for a little bit in a little interest and almost saw something move. I rubbed my eyes and looked again, nothing. I thought that someone had snuck aboard the ship or something. I looked on for another minute but disclaimed it switching channels. I kept switching channels until I found what I was looking for. Trevor, Lucian, and 8 we're all there and were locked in a conversation. The audio was on so I decided to listen in.

"Man we're gonna get it now when we get back to Corneria," Lucian said a little depressed. I bet Fox will make more jokes of it like he usually does.

"If only I didn't trip during the mission," 8 said, "I would have done better."

"I'm worried about Ryan right now," Trevor said a little hesitantly, "I hope he's alright."

"Well he did take the biggest beating out of all of us," Lucian said, "he's a tough little bastard. I was always told in fantasy groups that humans were a naturally weak species. If that's true, Ryan the big exception." I couldn't help but smile at the conversation they we're having. Even in a failed mission I was getting compliments from my friends. I shut off the console and left the bridge. I was curious of what the rest of the Star Fox crew would say to me when I get back.

I went and looked around for a while just to see what I could find. I took the elevator to the engine room to have a nice look around. The room was very hot, but I was used to such temperatures from the weather back at home. I continued looking around and had a thought about the movement. No one was there that's for sure. I kept looking on the big engine for a while.

Wolf, Leon, and Panther got to the bridge and to their dismay found that Ryan wasn't there. Wolf got into his seat and turned on the security console. He shifted from the different rooms and stopped at the locker room. The other three that were in there had just finished talking and were walking out of the room. He switched it into the hall connecting the training room to the elevators and saw them go their separate ways.

"About time they finished in there," Wolf said, "Leon."

"Way ahead of you," Leon said running back to the elevator to make his way to the training area. Wolf turned back onto the console and switched to the engine room. He smiled as he saw Ryan looking onwards at the engine.

"Panther," Wolf said. Panther nodded and followed suit out the door. Wolf looked on for a little bit then turned on the intercom.

"This is your captain speaking. I want the three losers on the training floor to report to the engine room immediately. As for you Ryan follow Panther to the training room. It's time for some discipline." He switched off the console and turned to the elevator.

"Discipline?" I asked to myself. I figured that now I was going to get something rotten to do for failing the mission but reluctantly headed up. I got to the nearby elevator to see Panther was waiting for me. I made no eye contact with him as I entered. He pushed the button leading us upwards a floor. From there I followed him down the narrow hallway. As I did I saw the Trevor, Lucian, and 8 all separately heading down the opposite direction I was walking in. Trevor smiled and waved at me as we walked past each other.

We continued until we got to the entrance to the locker room. Panther opened the door and urged me inside. As soon as I got in I heard the door shut behind me and then another click.

'Oh shit,' I thought in my head. They had locked me inside. I turned around quickly to see Panther give me a huge smile. I backed away a little bit and heard the other door open. I turned my back on Panther to see Wolf walking right towards me with a smile on his face also. I looked past him just enough to see Leon locking the door and flashed the same smile he had shown before. I was in deep shit now as the three closed in on me.

"What are you doing?" I asked trying my best to hide my fear.

"Shut up Ryan," Wolf shouted, "it's time you get your punishment." And with that he lunged at me with fists balled. I jumped backwards and pulled out my sword prepared to defend myself. I found it quickly wrenched from my hand with Panther sneaking up right at me. Before I could make another move he grabbed my right arm and spun me around. He let go shortly after sending me right into Leon who bent a low kick knocking me right off of my feet. At that speed I front flipped onto the ground hard on my back. I opened my eyes to see Leon and Panther each grab an arm and yank me up onto my feet. They didn't let go and held me in place. Unable to move I saw Wolf approach cracking his knuckles all menacingly. He got up to me and chuckled a little bit.

"I'm gonna have fun with this," He said mockingly. Before I could say anything in my defense I felt a hand hit me square in the gut. I coughed out in pain and my feet collapsed. I was still being held up though and Wolf hit me again. This time going across my nose. My face burned in intense pain as I felt my blood trickling out of my nose. I closed my eyes as he pelted me a couple more times across the face and stomach. He stopped for a moment and I squinted my eyes open a little bit. He stood there watching me, this time his smile faded into a serious face. One could easily mistake it for concern, but he wasn't concerned, I was getting the shit beat out of me for getting caught and tortured by a terrorist group. He snapped his fingers and Leon and Panther dragged me forward. They brought me to a nearby bench and forcefully laid me down on my back. They bent my arms backwards like I was being cuffed in between the bench. That was exactly what they did as I felt them tie a rope on my hands and tie them together behind me. Now I was trapped and I began to panic, I was hogtied and completely defenseless. Even worse I felt them tie my feet together under the bench also. After they finished they all got up and looked down at me like a science class dissecting a frog.

The Star Wolf team looked down at their tied down prey and smiled a little bit. Leon and Panther nodded to each other and walked out of the room.

I watched them leave in confusion. I figured that they we're leaving me to be pummeled to a pulp by Wolf. I saw Wolf approaching closer toward me.

"Now I have you all to myself," Wolf said and smiled again, "what's the matter, scared?" I knew he could obviously see it as I struggled in vain to get away from my bindings. He raised his hands and I flinched and shut my eyes awaiting the blow. But it never came and as I kept my eyes shut I only felt one thing touch me. I felt a gentle paw touch my face and wipe away the blood that was half dry on my face. I slowly opened my eyes and looked up confused. Wolf was then giving me a look I never thought possible, he looked sad. Like he was regretting something, and he was looking at me right in the eyes.

"I want you to answer me something," Wolf began, "why is it that Fox chose you for his team? You came out of nowhere and all of a sudden you're a mercenary working for him. Is it the passion of fighting for a purpose I see in your eyes? Is it because there is a deeper reason for you showing up here? Is it for popularity status?" I was in total surprise from these questions. Nothing could prepare me for his next question.

"Or is it because you're so damn good looking?" My stomach had exploded. This was completely unexpected, did Wolf actually like me? "No matter what the Fox McCloud does he always seems to get me jealous."

"HUH?" was the only thing I could manage. Did I pass out just barely and started dreaming. I had just heard the top two things I never expected Wolf to say. He thought I looked good and he was jealous of Fox.

"What are you saying?" I finally asked him.

"I wanted you to be a member of Star Wolf," Wolf said, "and for all of the reasons I mentioned earlier. But Fox beat me to the punch before I ever got there. Everyone likes him more and see him as a hero. People thinking that of me makes me sick, but I can't help but want that kind of feeling. No matter what I seem to be standing in Fox's shadow."

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked now even more confused than ever.

"Let's be honest," Wolf began, "I like you. We like you. You have that quality about you that seems to get everyone's good side. No matter how small it is. That's one of the main reasons we wanted you to join. A person like you could help build a good reputation for our team."

"You mean you guys like me?" I asked still getting more confused, "what about Panther and Leon?"

"It's all true," I heard Panther and Leon say in unison as they walked back in.

"I don't understand," I said nervously. I thought for a second that this could be a trick. They must have been trying to find some way of ridiculing me for later.

"Let me show you then," Wolf said and kneeled down. I still looked up as he put his paw back on my face wiping away the remaining blood. He then used the same paw and cupped my chin turning my head to face him. He closed his eyes and locked me in a deep kiss right smack dab on the lips. I gasped in surprise, my eyes opened wider than ever. I inhaled his scent as he continued to kiss me. All doubt of trickery was washed away as I knew what their discipline was now. I finally gave up and submitted to his actions. He licked at my lips signaling me to open up my mouth, which I did. I felt his wet tongue slip inside and explore, licking at the roof of my tongue and wrestling with my tongue. Wolf's actions, feelings, and scent was sending me over drive and I could no longer hide the erection forming and pushing against the fabric of my uniform pants. As we continued to kiss I felt Panther and Leon undo the ropes binding me from the bench. Wolf broke the kiss shortly after and pulled me upwards onto my feet. From then he embraced me into a hug and kissed me again. I enjoyed the feeling of Wolf's warm body against mine. He seemed to motion us a little and I felt my groin grind against his. In which I felt him getting hard also. After a few minutes he broke the kiss and spoke.

"Does that remove all doubt?" He asked me in a seductive tone. I blushed a little as he still hugged me and nodded a little bit.

"Hey I want a turn," Panther said and Wolf chuckled.

"Alright then," and with that he broke his hug with me and stepped aside letting Panther through. Now he embraced me in a hug and looked at me with a smile. He leaned down a little and gave me an equally hot kiss. Even though he never had a chance with Krystal he certainly knew how to kiss. The hot sensation of the kiss was getting to be too much for my senses. I felt another pair of hands grab my shoulders and began to massage them. I was able to tell by the texture of his hands through my clothes that it was Leon. He was up and behind me now and he licked up my neck slowly and with one playful tug he got my jacket off. He then made his way to my black uniform shirt and began stripping that off also. While this was going on I felt a third pair of hands. I knew that was Wolf and I lifted each foot one at a time so he could get my boots and socks off. I felt Panther's hands reach for my front and slide under my shirt. He broke the kiss just long enough to help Panther slide my shirt off. He then quickly slid his shirt off revealing a very muscular tone build on his frame. He then switched places with Leon and now it was his turn for a passionate kiss. He was equally good in his kiss and I felt his tongue now slip in and mix his saliva with the other two. I then felt Wolf manage to get my belt off and Panther undid the zipper in the front of my pants. I then felt them both get on one side of me and with one easy pull they managed to get my pants off. I kicked them aside as I now stood in between the three of them wearing only my underwear. My erection was actually aching quite a bit as it demanded to be released. After another minute the kiss was broken and I gasped a few times for air. Apparently I didn't breath much during the kiss. I looked around at the three of them and I noticed now that they all we're also in their underwear. Wolf was wearing a pair of red tights that encased a large bulge quite well. Panther had on briefs like me but they we're green instead of blue. Leon apparently was wearing some kind of jock strap. Just large enough to cover his well hung package but exposed his cheeks and tail.

"Time for the next segment," Wolf said in a pitch and walked up towards me. Panther and Leon followed suit and got right up to me. Together at the same time they pulled down my underpants allowing my rock hard cock to breath finally. I looked on as they each slowly took off their undergarments to put on a show and reveal their cocks. All of them we're in between 8 and 9 inches in length. A few seconds later they gently laid me on my back on the bench again. Then they all came at me at once. Wolf got in front of me and grabbed my legs and pulled them upwards. I felt him then slowly push his member inside of me causing me to yelp a little. Panther and Leon both got on top of me. Leon slowly licked around my shaft before slowly encasing the entire member in his mouth. Panther kissed me for another 10 seconds before breaking it up. He grabbed his member and smiled knowing exactly where he wanted it. I obliged and opened my mouth and encased it. I tried to suck him off but before I had the chance he started thrusting at a fast rate into my mouth. I did my best not to gag but had to take large gasps as Wolf impaled my ass with great speed. Leon was still sucking me off with great pleasure and talent by the feeling. I could feel him grinding his own dick across my stomach area. I could only lay there and enjoy the overwhelming and dominant pleasure that consumed me. For several, several minutes they continued gang banging me until I felt them give shorter powerful thrusts. I unleashed my climax in a torrent eruption and felt Leon suck it all down like a drink through a straw. He jerked me off some more getting a little bit more out of me. Wolf gave out a large howl and I felt him unleash his warm cum inside of me. As he did I felt my ass expand a little further as I felt a bigger bulge pull through. Wolf had inserted his knot into me and pumped out his liquid. He shot a good 20 times before he finished. He remained in that position for a certain time while he waited for it to shrink. Panther gave a loud roar and climaxed his load. I gagged from the quick flowing liquid and his thrusting and coughed quite a bit out across my face. I managed to swallow some of it though. As I did Leon slid me out of his mouth and I felt him shoot his load. He seemed to aim it as each shot landed on my groin area and still hard cock and balls. We remained in that position for what felt like five minutes and Wolf pulled out slowly as his swollen knot had loosened enough to allow him to do so. Leon and Panther both got off of me and I still laid there. I was exhausted from the relentless gang banging.

"Just one thing we want to make clear Ryan," Wolf stated. I was still gasping for air but managed to reply.

"What?"

"If you tell anyone about our little deal here today, we'll kill you. And that's a slow death we'll give." Wolf said seriously.

"We still have reputations to keep up," Leon said.

"Yeah," Panther followed, "I'm still a ladies cat at heart. It's just I have a few exceptions." He gave me a wink and that made me smile. I like it how they we're being all nice to me now. No matter how weird this whole encounter was I had to give it to them their promise.

"Deal," I nodded, "you're secret is safe with me." They all nodded and led me to the nearby showers. We all helped each other clean off and after that we changed back into our uniforms. Wolf made a few large tears into parts of my clothes before handing them to me.

"Just so we can convince the others of what "really" went down," He explained. I nodded to him and left the locker room. I managed to make my way to the elevator and got down to the engine room. I got out and quickly found the other "captured" standing around talking. I walked towards them and they notice me and quickly gathered around.

"What happened with Wolf?" Lucian asked concerned.

"Ryan, you're bleeding a little," Trevor pointed out with a worried look.

"Yeah you look really beat up there," 8 stated pointing.

"Nothing really," I replied smirking, "playing punching bag for a few brutes is quite fun. You should try it sometime."

"Okay now I'm really impressed," Lucian said, "this is the second beating you took and you don't seem phased by it at all. No wonder you're in Star Fox."

"I didn't know a human could be so tough," 8 said.

"It's cool," Trevor said. He seemed to be a little embarrassed with that statement.

"Thanks," I said scratching the back of my head, "I don't get compliments like that a lot." we continued to talk a little while. We discussed different weapon techniques and preferences when the intercom switched on.

"Alright now failures," Wolf said in his usual attitude, "it's time to hit the hay. You'd better be well rested as we hit Corneria in about eight hours. Head to the dorms for your rooms. We only have two unused rooms there for you so you'll have to partner up." I headed to the elevator first and waited for everyone who got in a second later. We made our way to the dorms and Leon was there to point out both of the rooms down at the end of the hall.

"Who bunks with who?" 8 asked.

"I'll take Trevor," I said as I shot my hand into the air. Trevor flinched a little in surprise and I could've sworn he blushed.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Positive," I replied.

"Good night then," Lucian said as he an 8 walked into the other room. I walked past the automatic door into the room and Trevor slowly followed behind. To my dismay I only found one bed. It wasn't large enough to separate two people to sleep on it. If we shared we'd have to cuddle. That doesn't sound like a bad idea.

"I guess I'll sleep on the floor then," Trevor said, "after all you took the most and the biggest beatings. You must be completely wiped out."

"I am Trevor," I spoke and smiled, "but you can sleep in the bed with me." He hesitated a little and spoke.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, I have no problem with it." I then stripped off my sword, belt w/ blasters, reflector, boots and socks, uniform shirt and jacket. I had no communicator as the Claxan had stripped it when they took it. I got in the bed and got to the far side of it.

"So Trevor," I felt like asking him this and he looked at me, "anyone special waiting for back at home?"

"What do you mean?" he asked me.

"I mean is there anyone you really liked back at Corneria?" I asked, "you know like more than a friend." He hesitated a little again but spoke.

"W-Well there is this one guy- I-I mean girl that I really like," he replied and gave a huge yawn.

"We can talk about it later," I said and noticed just how tired I really was. I got under the covers and turned to the wall. I fell asleep almost instantaneously from the fatigue.

Trevor looked on and saw that Ryan hadn't moved yet so he figured he was asleep and took off his shoes, socks, and gloves. He left his black mercenary shirt and pants on because he didn't want Ryan to think that he swings that way, even though he does.

'Whatever lady hooks up with him will be very lucky,' He thought to himself as he got into bed next to Ryan. He could hear Ryan's silent breathing going back and forth signaling that he was asleep and he thought he could get away with one thing. He wrapped an arm around Ryan's body and cuddled up close to him. Why not, if Ryan got angry he could blame it on sleep movements. Trevor fell asleep shortly afterwards.

I awoke sometime later and felt well rested. I was still sore a little from the previous couple events. I realized that Trevor was still asleep but was cuddled up to me. I smiled a little and carefully maneuvered myself out of the bed and managed not to wake Trevor. I got up and changed into my torn and worn uniform and got my equipment back on quietly. I left the room and headed to the bridge. Before I got there though the intercom came on again.

"Attention losers," I bet Wolf never got tired of saying that phrase, "report to the bridge now." I shrugged my shoulders and continued to the bridge. Almost like yesterday I saw the Star Wolf team all waiting for me in the bridge. As I walked in and they noticed I was alone they gave me smiles of warm greetings. I smiled back at them and walked over to them. About a few minutes later I notice the other captured show up also.

"So what's this about?" I asked plainly.

"You're next transportation is here," Wolf began, "apparently they decided to take the four of you home."

"Look out the window," Panther said pointing out in that direction. I turned to see a welcoming site. Approaching the side of the ship was none other than the Great Fox. I smiled at the site and turned around to see the other three happy also.

"We're linking up to them now," Leon said as it lined up parallel to us. A metal extension stuck out of the Great Fox and linked to the Wolfen allowing us safe passage to Fox and the gang.

"Go now," Wolf said, "you'll find your pathetic ships with them." Us captured quickly headed out of the room to make our way to the Great Fox. I was the last one out of the room and I saw the three of them smile and wink at me. I winked back as the elevator door shut. We got to the bridge leading to the hangar bay where the different ships lead. The sealed door was now open and we followed the narrow temporary hallway. I saw the door from the Great Fox open up and the whole team was there. They all gave out cheers as I jumped towards them. The whole gang gave me a large hug nearly crushing me in the process.

"Ryan," Fox shouted, "you're okay."

"You made it," Falco stated, "tough little bastard."

"You're all beat up," Krystal said, "cuts, bruises, and tears. You also need something to eat to."

"Your ship's in one piece to," Slippy said.

"Now we need you to explain a few things," Peppy said, "about the Claxan as they're called." I nodded to them and to the captured and spoke.

"Let's head for the bridge then," I said and made my way with all of my friends up to the bridge. I got to the bridge just in time to see the Wolfen take off in the opposite direction. After they we're out of site I turned around and faced everyone.

"Okay," I began, "here's what happened."
