"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Carl shouted in rapid succession. "What silencing? What killing? What are you talking about?!"
Nick's eyes glance around the formation, looking for Irwin.
Most likely, Irwin was already looking at him with his gun readied.
"Nick, you have to calm down!" Carl said with seriousness. "Nobody is trying to kill you! I'm asking about what happened!"
Nick turned to look at Carl and sneered in disgust. "Do you honestly think that I'm that dumb?" he asked. "You already made your stance clear."
"What stance?!" Carl asked in frustration and confusion. "I just want to know what the hell is going on!"
"No evidence?" Nick asked with a disgusted sneer. "You must have heard Mark's shouts as well. He told them that he was here with a friend, and then he pointed at my location."
"And then, the area around me exploded, and I was in the middle of a crater."
