Lefty was soaking wet and 8-Ball's tail was bloody when they got back to the Kudzu. "What happened to you?" asked Emmy and Callie at the same time. Before Lefty or 8-Ball could reply, Lillie spoke up and said, "I see you met Hoot." Emmy and Callie looked at Lilli and rolled their eyes knowing 8-Ball was in for a long lecture now.
