George?

[Hoffman sounds vaguely sleep deprived]

Where the fuck are you. [he's growling.] Now.

[All out of concern, really.]

Detective! Where are you? That parade of people with skulls for heads was much more forceful that I was anticipating.

I'm fine. I got dragged along and ended up in a cat race.

[what is this madness. Cat races. Hoffman switches to video. Apart from everything, Hoffman still has a big mark on his head from when he first arrived and had tried to figure out if he were a vampire.]

They race cats here. Cats. And a C-47 is a plane.

Ca-...

But what is a plane?

Oh, I believe we're just down the street from one another.

[Hoffman put the communicator back in his pocket and shoved a couple of people out of the way. Dodging a couple of skeletons, he moved to tap George on the shoulder.]

C'mon man. We need to find an airport.

[Hoffman is...looking more disheveled then he feels. Which is unusual. He raises a hand to touch his head before shaking himself.

He puts a hand on the other man's shoulder]

You all right?

[Hoffman lowers his hands] ...What about? We're dead.

[He puts his hand on the gash on his head] no bleeding, no pulse. Whatever happened to the barge killed us.

We're dead.

[Hoffman points to his head. It's a nasty gash, but it's not purple. IT looks like someone ripped into him.]

...No pulse, no nothing.

[It is had to believe.] People around here keep saying Muerto, Muerto. That's Death. This is the land of the dead. Where ghosts go.

[Hoffman is trying to be calm about this. This guy's a cop. He can handle it right? Right?]

...I'm sorry.

I can't be dead.

[George seems very sure about that.]

[Hoffman frowns at him and reaches out a hand to touch the guy again.]

...You have a heartbeat?

[this is not important.] Either way, we need to get to an airport so-fuck. I don't speak Spanish.
