Title: Bud's out - cold!

"Where's Bud?  He causin' any more trouble?"

"Bud is in a state of syncope.  He heard that all 633 of you were here to
help Sis and me, looked out the side window and ker-plop.  Out like a light."

"And Grubb?  I hear he was in on it too."

"He's in the midst of a group of women bikers, laying out a nasty philippic
against Bud, telling how he was forced at knife point to trap Azi and then
kidnap Sis.  He's pretty much convinced them that he wants to tack himself
to anyone against mean, nasty, old Bud."
