VULTURES MAKE ME SICK.
SOUVENIR
HUNTING IN THE MIDST OF
SOMEBODY ELSE'S TRAGEDY.
BEAT IT.
I'M GOING TO WAIT FOR
JOSH AT MY SISTER'S.
LISA,
WE'RE WASTING TIME.
LOOK, YOU'RE
HERE FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL
SUPPORT, RIGHT?
SUPPORT I NEED
IS TO BE LEFT ALONE.
I CAN HELP YOU.
I KNOW ALL ABOUT YOUR GIFT.
I'M A TELEMPATH.
I CAN PICK UP OTHER PEOPLE'S
FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WE BOTH
KNOW THAT YOU'VE GOT A
PSYCHIC LINK TO YOUR SON.
NOW,
SOMEHOW YOU'RE SERVING AS A
CONNECTION BETWEEN ME AND JOSH.
I KEEP PICKING
UP THESE IMAGES FROM YOU.
LISA, WE COULD
FIND HIM TOGETHER.
JUST LET THE FBI
HANDLE THIS, OKAY?
THERE'S BEEN
A RANSOM DEMAND.
HEY, GUYS.
HEY.
HEY, SHAL.
SO I TALKED TO EMMA.
SHE GOT A FLASH OF JOSHUA IN
THE DARK WITH PENNIES FALLING
ALL AROUND HIM.
MAYBE IT'S THE RANSOM.
WELL,
SHE SAID IT'S A SYMBOL.
NOT NECESSARILY LITERAL.
OKAY,
SO WE GOT THE KID AND WE
GOT PENNIES FALLING AND WE
GOT THE OIL AND SULPHUR THAT
YOU GOT FROM THE TREE BARK.
YEAH.
MARINE OIL.
YEAH.
DO YOU
HAVE TO DO THAT?
WHAT?
WHAT?
IT HELPS ME THINK.
SO MAYBE THIS GUY...
YOU KNOW,
MAYBE THIS GUY WORKS
AT THE DOCKS SOMEWHERE.
OR, MAYBE THE
GUY HAS SOME YACHT.
HEY.
NO,
I'M SERIOUS.
MAYBE THIS
KIDNAPPER HAS A BOAT.
SO THE
KID'S ON A BOAT SURROUNDED
BY LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY.
PENNIES.
YEAH, A KID'S
IDEA OF LOTS OF MONEY.
MAYBE IT'S
NOT EVEN MONEY.
PENNIES, COPPER, CIRCLES.
LINCOLN.
LINCOLN.
LINCOLN FIDUCIARY.
LINCOLN MOTORS.
LINCOLN ALL-AMERICAN EXPORT.
LINCOLN SALVAGE.
OH,
WENT BANKRUPT LAST YEAR.
HMM, THEY GOT A
WATERFRONT ADDRESS.
OH.
LISTEN, WHY DON'T
YOU GUYS CHECK IT OUT?
LET ME KNOW
WHEN YOU GET THERE.
I THINK K & R
SHOULD BE THE ONES TO
DELIVER JOSHUA TO HIS
PARENTS, SO I'LL
LET ADAM AND EMMA KNOW.
WON'T BE
LONG NOW, KID.
FOR WHAT?
COULDN'T YOU FIND
SOME PLACE A LITTLE HOMIER?
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
HANDS UP.
YOU KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO
HELP YOU, KEVLAR, HEAD TO TOE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU ZAP HIM?
BECAUSE.
THE BOAT IS METAL.
NOW, IF I WOULD'VE
HIT HIM WITH AN ARC,
THEN WE'D ALL BE TOAST.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM LATER.
LET'S GET
THE KID OUT OF HERE.
YOU'RE LIKE ME.
BOTH OF YOU.
WHAT?
WATER AFFECTS
YOUR POWERS, TOO, KID?
WHAT'S THAT?
AH, IT'S...
A LITTLE SOMETHING
THE KIDNAPPER LEFT BEHIND.
HEY.
JOSH, C'MON. GO.
I CAN'T BEGIN
TO EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE.
THANK YOU.
YEAH, WELL, WE'RE VERY
HAPPY THAT YOUR SON'S SAFE,
BUT WE'RE STILL CONCERNED...
JOSHUA NEEDS SOME REST.
COME ON, HONEY.
MY WIFE'S
BEEN THROUGH A LOT.
IF YOU COULD
SEE YOURSELVES OUT?
NO.
I KEEP GETTING
THE SAME VISION.
SOMEONE'S TRYING
TO GRAB JOSHUA, BUT
I CAN'T SEE THEIR FACE.
THE KIDNAPPER?
NO, SOMEONE ELSE.
WHAT'S THIS?
WELL, THIS IS AN ITINERARY
FOR TWO TO SWITZERLAND,
LEAVING TONIGHT
IN THE NAME OF PENROSE.
THEY'VE ORDERED
A KID'S MEAL.
OH,
I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT.
ONE OF THE TICKETS
MUST BE FOR JOSH.
HMM.
TRAVELLING WITH A WOMAN.
HEY, GUYS.
CHECK OUT PROXY BLUE.
AN AMERICAN
HERO AND HIS WIFE'S TERROR
HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO AN END.
JOSHUA VALENTINE IS
HOME AGAIN THANKS TO THE FBI,
WHO ALSO NABBED THE KIDNAPPER.
BUT THE SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE
DECLINED TO SPEAK TO THE PRESS.
THAT'S WEIRD.
YEAH, WHOEVER HEARD OF
A FED WHO DIDN'T WANT
A PIECE OF THE SPOTLIGHT?
I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.
MUTE.
ALRIGHT, HACK
INTO THE FBI DATABASE...
WAY AHEAD OF YOU.
CHECK OUT AGENT STONE.
OH.
THERE'S A SHOCKER.
THE FBI'S GOT NO RECORD OF HER.
WE SHOULD HAVE
CHECKED OUR OWN DATABASE.
WE'D HAVE FOUND
OUT SHE'S A NEW MUTANT.
WITH THE SPECIAL POWER TO
INCREASE THE MOLECULAR DENSITY
OF ORGANIC MATTER.
HEAVY.
STONE WAS WORKING
UNDERCOVER FOR ECKHART, HUH?
YEAH, BUT WHY WAS
THE GSA TRYING TO GET JOSHUA
BACK WITH HIS PARENTS?
YEAH, I MEAN, THEY
GOTTA KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT
HIS ABILITIES AS WE DO.
THAT'S WHAT
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
AND WHO'S THE WOMAN
FLYING OFF WITH JOSH?
WHO KNOWS?
ALL I KNOW
IS I WOULDN
