Ike kisses Monty's cheek and grabs her baby. They make their way over to Her brother and Alise. Ob was deep in conversation with the college boys, asking about the abused girls. She shakes her head, thinking of all the tragedy people like Jean-Marc bring to the world. It is bad enough when humans are the cause, but when it is paranormals the tragedy lasts more than a lifetime.

Monty pulls out a chair for Ike and she steps up, sitting on the table. She adjusts the headset mike and strums the strings. Monty sits in the chair she used as a stool and pulls her feet into his lap as she sings.

When youre down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.

Stoney sings softly, rocking Alise slowly in his arms. Ike smiles, harmonizing. People start to sing along on the chorus. First one voice then another,until Ike can feel the energy slipping back to the usual level.

Youve got a friend.
Youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.
Youve got a friend.

Ike ends the song on a soft note and reaches out to grip Alise's hand.

"Look around Lass... You are not alone."
