Carrie: Did you two have fun at the library?
Allan: Sure did!
Carrie: Now you have to turn around and go to work
Allan: Yup! I promise the end of my shift won't be as eventful as yesterday evening...
Carrie: Agnes, darlin; stay out of the guest room, yeah?
Agnes: Okay, Mommy!
Carrie: Speakin' of which, what happened to our new friend... he didn't come back with yeh?
Allan: Ah, yeah, the nuns told me she has him...
Carrie: Yeh mean...
Allan: Yup.
Carrie: Uh oh. Hope he comes back.
Allan: He better! His weapons are still here after all. "No Weapons in the library" ... pft! Nonesense indeed!
Carrie: I thought the rule was "No weapons on Holy Ground."
Allan: And our enemies care about that? I think not!
Voice: Aaaagnessss...
Agnes: Huh?
Agnes: And when I opened the door... the door the guestroom... where my mother told me not to venture... the thing whispering my name...

40 years later

Agnes: Was the old God Cthulagoolagoo!
Daisy: Oh my goddess did you die???
Solaris: Daisy... how could she have died if she's right here telling the story?
Daisy: Well, maybe a necromancer brought her back, and she's been a zombie this whole time!
Didn't think about that, did ya?
Agnes: Besides, we all know people can't come back from the dead... well, except for that one guy.
Daisy: Didn't your dad kill that one guy?
Solaris: Shaddup, Daisy.
[Narrator]: That's how my dear friend, General Agnes Blackshore, liked to tell the story... Because the truth is... what she actually heard... the thing whispering her name... was much more terrifying.
