Breach 3.4 is the fourth chapter of the Breach Arc. Little boy Blake tries to interrupt the Behaim-Duchamp ritual without getting caught.
Plot
Blake describes the ritual in vivid detail, from the incessant 'tocking' noise to the vibrations filling the house. He ponders for a while how he's going to interrupt the ritual before finally settling on being an annoying brat. Blake walks up to his "mom" demanding in a loud voice he sees the ritual instructions. His mom okays it, but then tries to send him off to play with a cousin. Recklessly Blake throws himself at his "mother" to knock her into the spell. He fails and flees.
Blake tries again by calling 911, telling them that Laird is doing something fishy. The police arrive, arrest Laird and Sandra, and break up the party. Every son-less family was allowed to leave. Unfortunately Blake realizes that the police would interrogate him if he stayed. To make matters worse, his Glamour illusion was breaking as well. Blake quickly talks his way into leaving with a different family. After arriving at their home, Blake barely makes it into the bathroom, where he curls up into a ball of agony and torn skin. Eventually Blake endures enough of the pain to get back up and escape the house; but not before setting Dickswizzle free and ready to destroy their stuff.
