Rating: PG

It had been a long drive up to Manchester, only to find that the supposed 'alien' had been a publicity stunt by the local council.
"Good makeup, though," Tosh volunteered after her third drink. They were staying in a hotel overnight, Jack having decreed that it was too late to drive back. A laptop sat on the bar table between Tosh and Suzie's drinks, its readouts hooked up to the Rift monitor. The bars were low, green. Green.
Red.
As his team dashed for the SUV, Jack finished his water. He knew what day it was.
"Goodbye, Mayor Blon Slitheen."
