Hat smirked slightly when he saw the human backing away. Good. That was
how it was meant to be. He went back to his office with a smug grin.

Carlos went back to the motel. He grabbed lunch from a nearby shop (that sandwich had entirely too much mayo on it!) and gathered up more of his sensory equipment that he needed. He returned to the hill where the mansion sat, weapons still drawn, and started to set up a safe distance away. Walking the perimeter confirmed that the source of the strange energy was within the mansion, so Carlos naturally proceeded to start taking infrared pictures and making logs in composition notebooks (thank God he didn’t have to hide his pens anymore!)

Black Hat went about his usual routine, filming commercials, shipping out products, doing paperwork, etc. He glanced out the window as he walked past and scowled. The human was back. Dammit it to hell.

Carlos sat across the street from the mansion, propped against the hood of his car with his infrared camera aimed at the house. Or actually, aimed toward the base of the house – he suspected that maybe whatever it was causing the energy readings it might be underground. However, he did see movement in the upper part of the screen. Looking he could see a top-hatted figure in the window. He smiled and gave a little polite wave before looking down at his notebook and writing some of his observations down. He wanted to try an echo-locator in a bit to check for underground structures in a bit.

Hey, Maximum Max? You doing okay, buddy?

*laying face down in the dirt* yeah, why do you ask?

*frowns, but kneels down and pats his shoulder* You’re in the dirt, buddy. Come on… get up.

i don’t really wanna.. *he mumbles, shifting so he can at least see Carlos*

A bed will be much more comfortable, and cleaner, I promise. *he smiles at Max when the kid looks at him*

i thought about it but part of me is afraid to move..  *he wipes dirt and tears off his face*

*Carlos’ smile drops* I’m sorry to hear that, buddy… want me to carry you?

*he shrugs* i guess.. probably better then laying in the dirt for hours…

*he rolls Max into one arm and once he has a hold on the boy he stands up, cradling him close* Let’s get you to your tent, pal, huh?

*he loosely clung to Carlos as he stood up, still shaking softly as he nodded* ..okay

*Carlos rubs Max’s shoulder as he walks him over to his tent.* Do you have a different shirt you can change into so you don’t get dirt in your cot?

no.. all the others got wrecked so i had to get rid of them *he sighed softly* i’ve been meaning to get new ones

Oh… well, that’s something we’ll do soon. At least take off your hoodie so you don’t overheat, okay buddy? *he carries Max into the tent and gently sets him down on the cot*

*he hesitates before nodding again, pulling off his hoodie and tossing it aside. before he pulled his blanket over himself, Carlos could see he was wearing more bandages then normal*

*Carlos frowned slightly. He picked up Max’s hoodie and shook it out before folding it and setting it down at the foot of the bed.* Do you just wanna sleep, Max? Or do you wanna talk about anything?

*he shrugged slightly, his voice was quiet* i dunno.. some of the stuff we could talk about might keep me longer but there’s probably some stuff that needs to be talked about…

Might keep you longer? What does that mean, Max?

keep me up longer i mean *he chuckles slightly*

Oh. I’m sorry, I must’ve misheard. So… I take it that you do wanna talk, then?

*he glances away, tightly holding the blanket* do you ever… look at someone you love and realise… you don’t really love them anymore? you want to love them but you just don’t… and it just leaves you feeling guilty because you’ve been with them for so long and they’ve helped you so much a-and you don’t want to leave them but at the same time you’re worried that they’ll leave you *he dries his eyes and looks away*

*blinks at Max* Uh… no… I honestly can’t say that I have. But… I’ve been on the receiving end of unrequited love… *what the hell has Max gone through??*

*he sighs softly, almost whispering* it really sucks…

I’m sorry, buddy… I truly am. Sometimes though… romantic relationships run their course. It doesn’t mean you should stop being friends, but… if the love isn’t there, then…

but i don’t want to be friends with her..! i still want to date her and be with her but i…

But you don’t love her. It’s okay if friends go out sometimes… but if you don’t feel like you love her, then it’s not worth it trying to keep acting like it Max. Trust me, I… I’ve had a similar experience.

*he frowns and lays on his side* .. life sucks… alot

I’m sorry, Max… I really am.

you don’t have anything to be sorry for.. at least at me.. *he yawns*

Well, “I express my sympathy, and a little bit of empathy” is a bit of a mouthful to say, Max, don’t you think? *offers the kid a slight smile*

*he chuckles* yeah, i guess so…

*Carlos chuckles, glad he got Max to smile a bit* So… what’s the plan, Stan? Gonna try to take a little nap? Maybe later I can take you out to get some shirts… help cheer you up a bit.

“What would a scientist want with my city? Do you have a death wish, pathetic mortal?” Black Hat hissed lowly, his eye narrowed down at him. “You must be an idiot if you dare speak to me in such a familiar manor.”

“I just told you, I’m searching for an energy source that my instruments are picking up,” Carlos explained. “And I’m not being familiar – I’m being polite. You’re the one who’s leaning into my personal space, however.”

Carlos got the antennae back in both hands and looked down at his machine. It had been beeping rather aggressively at him for a little bit… he must be close. Though glancing at his danger meter Carlos could see that the needle was steadily moving further into the red zone, well on its way to the red zone. He hummed to himself – the energy source must be very unpredictable, he thought.

Black Hat began to exude some sort of dark energy. “You must be stupid if you aren’t shaking in your pathetic skin.” He smirked much wider than any human should be able to do, revealing razor sharp, acid green teeth.

Carlos looked back up at the other being, and seeing his smile he gave a startled shudder. “I… wow… nice teeth. I knew a guy who smiled like that. His, uh… his name was Kevin.” Carlos cleared his throat slightly. God, this was getting very awkward. “Look, pal, I’m not going to hurt anything, I promise. I just have questions that I wanna answer… that’s the whole basis of science. I… Are you familiar with science at all?”

“No. That is why I hire a scientist.” He growled softly. “Get you business done with and leave my island, before you mysteriously vanish off of this earth.” He smirked sadistically and turned on his heal, striding back towards his manor.

Carlos watched him leave, confused by his demeanor. “Um… alright,” he said, and he turned away to keep walking.

However, when he did the beeping from his machine suddenly slowed and the numbers dropped. Meanwhile, the danger-meter needle was stuck between orange and blood-orange. Curious, Carlos turned back toward the hat-shaped mansion and the retreating humanoid, and immediately the machine’s beeping picked up again.

“Oh… oh, interesting…”

Black Hat entered his home again, turning on the security system while he did so. He would watch this new human closely.

Carlos heard a loud mechanical whirring noise and by the time he looked back at the mansion various mechanical arms had sprouted from behind the building and there was a wicked assortment of weaponry aimed directly at him. Carlos jumped in shock, and a bit of concern for his personal safety. However, the weaponry didn’t do anything – just pointed at him. Because he was still on the sidewalk.

Okay, the top-hat person was unsociable (but really, were City Council back in Night Vale). Carlos backed away slowly, the beeping on his machine going slower with each step. Time to go back and get some longer-range scanners, he supposed.
