"If you're a true Astronomgonist (ɘˈstränɘmgɘnɘst), then that energy ball in your lymphatic system can get us both out of here and wipe Watch, Jinger, and Gerry off the map. I can sense it coming off you like a bonfire." Reign whispered to Teerkedas as the bid was going on.

Teerkedas was reminded of the vampire needles he had involuntarily absorbed when he was in survival mode, from the trunk of Harrodean's car when it blew up.

"I risk unleashing a poisonous plague on the town. Haven't they suffered enough?" Teerkedas told Reign. He thought. "Besides, I have to save what power I have left on annihilating my mother's murderer."

The bidding ended and Reign was taken off the auction block since the result didn't reach Watch, Jinger and Gerry's goal bid.

"Let's cut out, guys," Gerry said beckoning Watch and Jinger toward the car.

"This auction was supposed to be cherry. If you hadn't let that chick and her brother go, it would've been," Watch grumbled getting in the back of the El Camino with Teerkedas and Reign.

"Why didn't you put the Astronomgonist on the auction block? That would've been cool and we could've had more than enough bread to live the rest of our lives like gods," Jinger said to Gerry.

"Don't flip your wig," Gerry said to Watch and Jinger. "We got dibs on the Astronomgonist that's why I didn't auction him off. I wasn't going to give those greedy good for nothings the satisfaction of owning one. This way we have a better chance of becoming gods."

Watch turned on his vinyl record player. He closed his eyes and leaned up against the window. His hands clasped and tucked behind his head in oblivion with the tunes.

"They should've sold you to the highest bidder when they had the chance. 'Cause after this you'll just be spare parts only worth the cost of a souvenir. When you die the power dies with you, which won't be too long now. Their chance of being gods just went out of the window," Reign whispered, laughing.
