Rick pushed harder, increasing his speed. There was no sign of yesterday's Strom. It wasn't even 6 in the morning, the cool air felt good against his sweaty skin. He always feels refresh after racing against the wind in the early hours of the day.

At last he skidded a halt and bent forward. Resting his hands on his knees, waiting for his heartbeat to go back to normal. His gaze swept across the water and stopped suddenly. There's something lying on the sand. Is that a fish , he thought.

He walked hurriedly towards the shore. No!! It's not a fish because fishes doesn't have claws...

He screamed and ran " Monster! Monster! There's a sea-monster!"...

Marine Biologist Kagome again checked the body which was found at Costa Ricca. It's not a known animal dead body, it's seems like a big reptile. But reptiles can't be this big. The body was already started to rote. Only 1/4 part was intact.

Alan Sattler - a marine life researcher sat near Kagome and watched the body with keen interest.

Alan watched the claws from close. The talons were long and razor sharp.

"Do you recognize anything?" Alan asked while looking at it's tail's rough scales through magnifying glass.

Kagome stopped her work and frowned " I can't tell you anything until the blood, tissue samples tested, Alan."

Alan looked at her, " At least it's not a water animal! Right?"

Kagome resumed her work , ignoring Alan's inquiry.

Alan opened his mouth to say more but at the moment two people from military interrupted him.

"Hello , Mam." One of them said before giving Kagome a firm handshake. " I'm Vic Hoskins. I'm in in charge here."

He shook his hand with Alan and said " Please excuse me Mam for disturbing but could you give us any information about this creature? And can we declare this beach safe for people?"

Kagome replied in a professional tone," Sir , we have to run lots of tests to recognize this animal and the reason of it's death. Our team leader is on her way to here. I can't say anything until then."

Hoskins the officer frowned " Let me get to the point , Ms Kagome . It's a tourist beach and at it's peck season. We can't close the beach for a long time. We have orders to close this case as soon as possible."

Kagome took off her glasses, pulled a handkerchief out of her white lab coat pocket, cleaned the lenses and returned the glasses back on her nose.

"It's your choice officer. You guys called us for a check up. If you guys force ; our team will forced to safe report you guys. But as a Marine biologist and a fellow human , I'll say to not open this beach. Look at it's talons officer ."

The officer tried to say something.

"It's a flesh eating animal. We found only 1/4 part of it. Think what could happen if it arrived here alive not dead." Kagome continued, oblivious to the officer's attitude.

I'll advice you to seal the place for the time being."

"So how much time you guys need?"

Kagome tapped the pencil in her left hand two times and said " We need pictures of the body. Then we'll do the blood spatter. We'll need to find dentals, DNA to identify the bo.."

"Oh..wait ...wait .."

Before Kagome could finish her sentence Hoskins disturbed her.

"Look miss, I don't want to know what you will do with the body. I don't care how much time you need. Just give us the safe report before the end of this week. Got it, lady."

Hoskins gave a smug smile and walked away.

Alan walked up to her until there was more than half a foot between them and carefully study her facial expression.

Kagome 's posture was stiff, her jaw clenched.

After a pause of one or two minutes he asked " So , when boss is coming?"

Kagone took a long breathe to steady herself.

Then Kagome blinked, keeping her face blank said "Don't know but soon."

Kagome strode off without looking back. Alan shook his head and ran behind her.
