~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Colby and Alice were taking a walk. A nice leisurely walk down to the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial and back, just to stretch their legs…

When around the other side of the Memorial came Callie -

Arm-in-arm with Colby.

Another Colby Granger.

Alice and both Colbys drew their service weapons. “Put the gun down!” each Colby yelled at the other Colby. “You first.”

“I told you not to eat nachos with fish sauce,” Alice muttered.

“You’re under arrest,” Colby told…himself. The other him. The other himself. “Fat chance,” he replied.

“This could take a while,” Callie remarked.

“There’s an easy way to resolve this,” Alice said.

“Surrender?” Colby asked.

“Or wake up,” Callie said.

Colby’s phone rang - no, Colbys’ phones rang. “You gonna get that?’ he asked the other himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Colby had taken the other Colby into custody, but had allowed Callie to go unhandcuffed provided she keep in front of them and not try anything funny.

And so it was in that way that Colby and Alice took the other two to the bullpen - the entrance of which the four of them stopped when they saw what was going on: there was another Colby there, this one with his arm around Liz’s shoulder (and she didn’t seem to mind it being there)

“What’s going on here?” Callie asked, interrupting the discussion that was taking place.

“Hey Callie,” David said, and he didn’t say anything else, because he’d just seen the two Colbys behind her.

Sitting in his usual chair, “I must say,” Larry said, “I never contemplated this form of the Many-Worlds theory.”

“Funny,” Callie said. “So does that mean you can’t fix this?”

“Took the words right out of my mouth,” Alice said.

“Think we should tell Don?” Liz asked. “About,” and with one finger made a gesture encompassing the Colbys.

“I’m thinking not,” Callie’s Colby said.

“We’re more of a hydra than that skeleton army,” said Alice’s Colby.

“That was a cool scene, though,” Liz’s Colby said.

All the Colbys nodded agreement.

The new girl suggested, “Maybe we should call Charlie and -”

“No!” all the Colbys said at once.

“Why not?” David asked.

“Yeah,” Liz said, seconding the teasing. “Surely you don’t think you and Amita would be an item do, do you?”

“That,” said Alice’s Colby, “would bring down the Wrath Of Don on all of us.”

The other two Colbys nodded.

“If for no other reason,” said Callie’s Colby, “than for robbing Charlie of the love of his life.”
