Ford opened his mouth to protest further, but Mabel had already taken one of his hands in her own while Dipper claimed the other. “Come on, Grunkle Ford,” Mabel said, giving his hand an encouraging tug. “Let’s go wait in the hallway." ----- Luckily for Bill, it seemed liked his taunt paid off. For after another minute of staring him down, Ford pulled his hands from the kids’ embraces and stormed out of the room with steps that were as restrained as he could possibly get them. Leaving Stan and the kids—their hands now void of any that possessed six fingers—behind. However, it was only a moment later when the door was cracked open again, and one six-fingered hand reentered their line of sight. A hand that Mabel immediately took again, before both her and Dipper hurried out into the hallway after him.
