Chapter 27- The Thirty First part 2

[Cabbage Patch]

Would you want to live in the place that was known to have been overrun by zombies, killing everyone there as far as you know?

"Our Tower" had been overrun by zombies who killed everyone prior to our heroes arriving.

I guess I am using the wrong words or clouded with brain farts.

Yes, Saul is an adult. I have no doubt that he can take care of himself and is legally free to do so. When I moved away from home for college, I was on my own. No cash or insurance from parents. I could go back to visit, but would have to sleep on the couch. I get all of this. How many of you have children or parents that you have not spoken to for more than a few years. I know it happens. At times, there is bad blood. Sometimes it is the best option.

Saul goes to prison, Tanya blows him off. A few months after the death of >6,000,000 people and she sees her long lost son and her first response is to reprimand him for saying "shit", reprimand him for larsony and dismisses her actions of not contacting Saul because she took a new job?

It is foriegn to me. I would eat a shit sandwich and ask for seconds if it would bring my boy back. But, death is pretty much a oneway ticket.

This chapter reminds me of that episode of Lost where we finally learned Richard's backstory.

I had always been suspicious Skittles came from the other tower.

[Litmaster]

Yea and two Pucks and two hannahs. For x-mas we should get KC a random name generator 8P

HA! Amen to that!

Hey, Kc: Farquar is still available. That and about 50,000 other names you haven't yet used. I can direct you to a few baby name websites if you get stuck!

I don't know about the whole Kalani is an accidental rat... I know, jeez Krysten, get over it.

But! The theory I have going in my head at the moment... Once he and the radio were alone together (tee hee) he decided to get in to contact with the Mallers in hopes that Hannah was still alive. In hopes that maybe there was something he could still do to free her if she was alive. I mean let's be honest here, that's some intent regardless right there.

Maybe he inquired about her, maybe they said she was still alive. I'm sure at some point the Mallers get it out of Kalani that he is at The Other Tower... The tower they want. You don't just accidentally tell someone, "Yea, they're having this huge shin-dig tonight, they figured everyone needs to take a break." The same reason you don't tell someone you have 10 grand hiding under your bed.

IF.... If Kalani is the one who let the Mallers know he had to of given them details as he was more than likely being threatened with his daughters life. Maybe Hannah was made to talk over the radio, get him going, just about anyone else would spill the beans if they had to hear their daughter in anguish.

I don't know, if Kalani is indeed our rat, I just don't see how that information can just accidentally slip out. If you have that type of information and you share it with an enemy, that is intent. Just about anywhere you go though, if you're being black mailed and you give information, you're a rat... you should have withheld that information no matter what. I don't like to think there are grey areas with rats... even though there are at times.

I have to give this episode another listen though, between road rage and my co-worker talking to me I feel like I missed too much. Lol!

I agree. In the end even if blackmailed, he could have come to the Tower and said at some point, 'they have my daughter, oh and are listening to you over the airwaves'. In that case Michael might have been willing to set something up to get Hannah back.

New here, but wanted to add my .02 and I didn't see it mentioned yet. During one of the maller attacks on Michael et al.. Scratch makes a comment that she has two people to trade. Anyone else remember this? One maybe would be Hannah? The other Lizzy? I believe this was right before Kalaini helicopter crashed. So maybe more confirmation on who the rat is...

Hidey hi and welcome.

I did mention it earlier in this thread that it's very possible that the second person Scratch was referring to was Hannah but we just all assumed it was Lizzy being preggers. It will also be a topic on the upcoming WND #30. I really like this as a theory because it ties into this horrible possibility that Scratch fucked with Kalani so hard that he killed himself for no reason.

Just a little hair dye is all you might need.....

Edit: I keep saying Kalani killed himself/is dead. No body, no official death. Could be that's who Scratch found after the tower collapsed. Doubtful, but possible.

Exactly!

Sure you can argue that maybe he didn't want to bring forth this type of information for fear of how the Tower might have reacted towards him being involved with the Mallers... Their arch nemesis. But if you can't be honest, then you can't be up to any good.

So I say it again, if Kalani is the rat (who knows, things can go spiraling out of control in this story and it's someone else.) But if he is, he's a rat end of story. There is no grey, no accidental, no oopsies.
