Logan and Morgan are still in the US, drifting around the rust belt and heading for the Ranch. Morgan got them involved in a march a few prompts ago and maybe things are taking a strange turn…

‘You okay, Morgan? You’re white and sweaty, like yesterday’s tripe.’

‘You remember that protest?’

‘Where you made me wear a Mini Mouse mask?’

‘Yeah, well… I was chatting to the organiser…’

‘… with little regard for social distancing…’

‘She was very compelling…’

‘Oh yes, she forced you that close…’

‘Anyway, she said we’d be followed…’

‘…you’re paranoid…’

‘…and gave me this flyer. See…’

‘He was in the diner.’

‘And he’s just signed in.’

‘Probably coincidence.’

‘Guess his name…’

‘?’

‘Ron Earlobe MD.’

‘Oh come on, that’s ridiculous…’

‘Yeah, but if you reorder the letters…’

‘Monreal Dorb!’

‘Now do you see?’
