Hal calls the police officer Craig to let him know of his whereabouts but gets Craig’s voicemail instead. So, he leaves a very polite message telling Craig that he is doing well and will try back later.
Back at the apartment, Charley asks Rayflo what has happened to his room and why is he in bed when he has his coffin to sleep in. Rayflo pretending to be drunk says that he uses beds for 2 things – meals and pillow talk. Charley quickly exits the room. Minea tries desperately to leave Charley’s arm and return to her injured Master but Charley places Minea into her kitty bed and grabs a hold of something from within a cabinet. He returns to his room and starts spraying Rayflo with a water hose.
Rayflo is shocked. Charley says that it’s his room and he can use whatever method he wants to clean it. Then Charley gets on top of Rayflo pinning him down on the bed and then with a sympathetic expression tells Rayflo that he knows that he was violated. Charley breaks down into tears. He is deeply saddened by the fact that he was not there to protect his Master and by the idea that when his Master dies he wants to be the only one there by his side.
Rayflo sweetly tells Charley that he will never vanish again (and reflects back to the past when they first met – Chris was very little then)
Charley attends to Rayflo wounds and just as he is about to suck the vile blood from his Master’s body, Rayflo unexpectedly pushes him away. Unbeknownst to Charley – the little, odd shaped “thing” from chapter 1 is looking at Rayflo and Charley and this is why Rayflo pushes Charley away. Rayflo says he is going to sleep in his coffin and leaves Charley’s bedroom. Needless to say, Charley is stunned! The “thing” Rayflo saw belongs to Barry. He uses this creature to spy on whoever he wants pretty much whenever he wants.
Craig the cop is at another crime scene when he finally gets the message left by Harold. The crime he is investigating this time deals with a drug company’s lab that was torched beyond recognition. It appears the company my actually belong to Arnold Wayne – Harold’s father. According to what evidence they had collected so far, a drug deal was or had occurred. Wayne had being talking with a guy named Victor (who was the middleman) to set up a drug deal with 0 (who is 0-zero?). After running this information with an under-covered cop, Craig’s boss enters the room and tells Craig he needs to leave Arnold Wayne alone and that they will no longer be investigating this case. The boss says it’s his responsibility to protect his men but Craig knows it’s much more than that. It has something to do with 0.
Craig tells his chief that he is taking some time off. He hands his chief his badge and leaves the police station (what’s Craig up to, now?)
This chapter ends with various scenes. We see Harold and Sacra the dog peacefully sleeping, Rayfell begging Cheryl for forgiveness (he pretty much stays on bended knees) and the final and saddest scenes are of Charley outside his apartment building with his packed bags looking back at his building and the other scene is of Rayflo with Minea in his arms looking down at Charley from behind curtain windows.
