Does anyone know what the heck's going on with the reviews of every
person here?
Chapter 5 – Max's fright…and baseball?
Kyle stopped on a rooftop. His feet hurt, and it wasn't because of his running. Kyle managed to get the shoes off in time to notice a claw- like toe form above each heel a little ways from the ground. Much like a dinosaur's.
"Great. They made me 'Dino-boy', didn't they?"
Kyle's stomach growled.
"Forget it. I almost became a murderer because of you…"
His stomach couldn't hear him obviously. Then he realized what he was doing.
"Oh yeah… You can't hear me… Fine, but it better not be something that's alive when I start eating it…"
Kyle sniffed the air, and smelled something far more appetizing than meat…
"Fish… that's agreeable."
Kyle began to go toward the smell of fish. After a little while, he found a small stand in Chinatown that had fish in it.
'Uh… Maybe not… I didn't know it was raw… Huh?'
Kyle had already swiped some fish by the time he realized he acted. He had also leapt to a hiding place a little distance off. It was kind of an indoor pond. Actually, it was just surrounded by a dojo-type structure. The lilies were a nice touch.
'Where am I? HEY!!!!'
Kyle was really getting ticked off at these reflexes. He had just devoured a fish before he knew what was happening. Kyle forced himself to stop.
'It's nice to know I still have SOME control…' He thought angrily to himself.
Kyle could still taste fish in his mouth. He actually liked it, considering it wasn't prepared as sushi…
'I can't believe I just ATE fish that were going to be butchered, and… Where are the bones?'
Then Kyle felt something sharp in his mouth. He spit it out into his hand.
'That answers my question…'
Kyle began to eat the fish again, but this time, he was in control. That didn't matter much, because he ate like he did when he wasn't…
'Well, at least I'm… Hmm…'
Kyle sniffed the air. He was certain the lady he took the fish from had noticed they were gone by now. He thought he was in a safe haven, until the lady opened one of the doors leading to the pond…
"EEP!"
Kyle dropped his half eaten fish, jumped to the roof, and fled. He didn't intend to get caught…
Kyle stopped. Now he really was tired. He needed a place to hide out for a while. That was as likely as him being on Max's house. Then he sniffed the air. A familiar scent caught his attention. He decided to look in a window. There, he saw Max finishing up her homework.
'Well what do you know… I AM on Max's house… That gives me an idea…'
Kyle hopped down into the alley, where he had noticed a good large sheet that was thrown out. It was a little choppy at the edges, but it was good enough to hide his features. He took it, and used it as a cloak. It worked for now. He was glad he still had a mostly human physique. Then he went to Max's door, and knocked…
Max was alone as usual, and was on the phone with Terry, a.k.a. Batman, when she heard a knock at the door.
"Hold on Terr… Someone's at the door."
"At this hour?"
"Who knows? Hang on…"
She put the phone down and went to the door. She looked through the peephole, and saw someone wearing a cloak. She left the chain latched, and opened the door.
"Who is it?"
"A friend… I need a place to rest for now… please let me in…"
Max thought he sounded familiar, but couldn't place the name. Still, it was enough to make her think it was safe. She undid the latch, and he stepped in. Then Max closed the door, but didn't lock it.
"Okay, now who are you?"
"I'm not certain if I should answer…"
Max then grabbed the cloak, and pulled it off of him.
"HEY!!!! DON'T!!!!!!"
Max turned pale when she saw Kyle. She didn't recognize him as Kyle, though…
"EEEEEECCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!! ZANDER SENT YOU AFTER ME, DIDN'T HE????? HE'S NOT GETTING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Zander??? Who's … WHOA!!!!!!!"
Max had armed herself with a bat, and began swinging it at Kyle. Meanwhile, Batman heard Max scream, and started toward her residence…
"HEY!!!!!! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HURT YOU, DID I???????"
"DON'T TRY TO TRICK ME!!!!!!!!!!!"
Max swung the bat again, and it cracked on Kyle's head. Max looked down to see where he'd fall… Only he didn't fall. Instead, he held his head in pain. [Just checking… If you break the bat on someone's head, they would at least be unconscious, if not dead, right? THAT'S the problem here. Kyle DIDN'T wind up either way…]
"OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!"
Max knew that if that thing was still alive and conscious, it would most likely want to kill her. She sped out the door, and literally ran into Batman…
"IT'S IN THERE!!!!!!!" She half-screamed as she pointed to her door.
Meanwhile, Kyle's head was pounding. Max had good reason to try and knock his block off. Okay, that's not quite true, but he did have a feeling this wasn't the first time she ran into something that was supposed to be extinct…
'Who the heck is Zander?'
Kyle felt like the bat scrambled his thoughts, because he was having trouble thinking straight. His movements weren't exactly fluid either…
{CRASH!}
He accidentally stumbled over a chair he had trouble seeing.
'Terrific…'
The good news was that it did help clear his head. The pain had shot through his foggy thoughts.
"AUGH!!!"
His head still hurt. He decided to check to see where exactly it hurt. He found two spots in his hair that hurt when he touched them.
'Figured… Huh?'
Then he found two bumps that didn't hurt when he touched them…
Batman had just calmed Max down, and now he went into the home. Inside, he found a reptilian-like splicer that looked like it couldn't think straight for some reason. The fact it couldn't walk straight was a dead give away.
"Great. A splicer that's drunk… That's new…"
Kyle sniffed the air. However, he couldn't distinguish scents clearly because of his headache…
"I… Who are… you?"
Now Batman was positive something was wrong with the splicer. If it couldn't tell who he was, it either had a vision problem, or…
'Uh-oh…'
Batman had a very good clue who it was, but if he said anything, he'd give himself away. Then he decided to continue to talk…
"Do I need to take you to the police?"
"Huh? I… Augh! My… head… If you… see… that girl… again… tell her… that… my head is NOT a baseball…"
Then Batman saw the broken bat on the floor.
"So THAT'S why you're acting weird…"
Then Batman had an idea… He took the Walkman out of his belt, and held it up…
"Does this belong to you?"
Kyle stared at it… It looked familiar…
'Huh? I'm definitely going to the hospital after this… That's mine…'
"I think so…" Kyle said as his head began to clear up.
Batman then was certain it was Kyle.
"Then it looks like you're jail-bound…"
Would Terry really send him to jail????
