Three Inches Page #4

was the hospital okay?

Walter.

Yeah.

Were there special treatments,

like lightning rehab?

Lily, I need to

tell you something.

Okay, but you were pretty

comprehensive the last time.

Not that.

Lily, something incredible

happened to me.

I don't know how, but after

the lightning hit me...

[ Horn beeps ]

Dillon.

Dillon?

[ Chuckling ] Hi.

Hey.

Hey. Uh-oh

Walter,

this is my friend Dillon.

We met at the water-management

conference in Oslo.

Hey, man.

Dillon and his dad

converted his bike

to run on hydrogen fuel cells.

How cool is that?

Yeah.

Who wants lemonade?

I'll be right back.

So, uh... Lily tells me

you guys have been friends

since, like, forever.

Since, like, forever.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Crunch ]

Damn it.

[ Shoe scuffing ]

Oh, come on.

You okay there, guy?

It's just a stupid crab ape.

Whoa. See that?

Oh!

Oh!

What the...

Oh!

What the hell?

Aah, aah, whoa, whoa!

Oh, oh, what the...

Oh, man. Uh, I-I...

Oh, uh...

Sorry, I didn't mean to...

I mean,

it's like I did anything,

'cause how could that

possibly happen?

Freak.

[ Siren wailing ]

[ Horn honks ]

Hey, what's up?

First of many beers.

A nuking your sorrows

with alcohol.

Good point.

Think alcohol

will help me forget Lily?

I don't think it's possible

drink that much.

Man:
Sportello!

Back to the kitchen.

Hey, Walter.

Hey.

Do I know you?

Nope.

But you know my name.

I know everything about you.

It's my job.

Well, whatever they're paying

you, it's too much.

I'm a 26-year-old dog groomer

who lives with his mother.

What's to know?

[ Chuckles ] Hey.

I'm curious...

Have you tested the limits

of your ability?

It important to understand

what you can and cannot do.

Who are you?

Troy Hamilton.

Okay, Troy Hamilton.

I don't know what the hell

you're talking about.

Sure you do.

I find people

with special abilities...

Powers.

And you, Walter...

You are very special.

I think you have me confused

with somebody else.

Sometime we track lightning-strike

victims. That's how I found you.

Look, dude,

what do you want from me?

Ideally, I want you

to help fight evil

and make the world

a better place.

Wow, creepy and crazy.

Good luck with that.

Walter, please...

just give me five minutes

of your time. That's all.

So...

Do you work for a secret

government organization

that turns out to be as bad

as the bad guys in the end?

I'm a private contractor

with good intentions

and a clear conscience.

Oh, wasabi peanut?

Whatever I move,

I can only move it

three inches.

It's the worst superpower ever.

It's like having

an extra thumb.

You need to expand

your line of thinking.

Bar bets?

Uh, the circus?

You have no idea
