Alien Slave 2
Chapter 3: Mysterious Wounds
"What do we have here?" Said the veterinarian.
"A dead tiger. Something we do not have often in the national park." Tim said.
"You called me down all the way from Rio just to examine a dead tiger?"
"Look at the tiger wounds. It's unlike nothing I've ever seen before."
The Veterinarian turned the tiger over, he examined the burnt wounds and claw marks. His eyes widen immediately.
"I would need some time alone. This is very peculiar. I'll give you a diagnosis in an hours time. Meanwhile, can you get me some coffee?"
Tim stepped out of the building and sat on the stairs. He admired the setting sun. It was amazing. Sometimes he wondered how the universe worked. How nature worked. How Animals think. It never ceased to amaze him.
"What did our Coddy said?" Felix came up from behind.
"That veterinarian? He needed some time to examine the tiger. I left him with a cup of coffee in the backroom." Tim sipped his cup of water.
"Well he better come up with something. I just received instructions to come up with a report about dead tiger. We cannot put 'Unknown' on the report." Felix complained.
"Ha! With the complexity of the jungle. 'Unknown' is the word."
"Well it that is the case, than be prepared to be fired."
"Doesn't matter. I can always get another job."
"If you have the qualifications. And do not have a family to support." Felix said. "Still a family gives you a lot of joy."
Felix fell back on the couch. He closed his eyes and began to think of his family.
Meanwhile, Coddy alone in the backroom was busy prodding over the tiger.
He took blood samples and tested it with his chemistry set. The blood showed no sign of poison or contaminant. His examination of this claw slice in the tigers belly could match none of the marks of the creatures in the forest. And there was the burnt marks. The burnt was from an electrical burn. However there were no lightning storms in the forest in the last 2 days. There was only one answer.
Coddy secretly reached into his bag and fished out his cell phone. He set his phone on 'silent' and dialled a number.
"Good evening, Koda Pizzas, this is Cooui. How can I help you?"
"Cooui, Password is 'Xen'."
"Good evening brother. What can I do for you?"
"Put me on the line with BREEN. It's very important."
"Dr. Wallace Breen? Well, good luck."
Coddy held the phone tightly. Breen was going to congratulate him on his findings. No witnesses were allowed.
"This is Wallace Breen. Who is this?"
"This is Coddy Lasi, I have news."
"Arr Coddy. It's been a long time since I heard from you. What news do you have for me?"
Tim laid on the sofa watching the television. On the screen showed the show 'Alien'. It was about some Alien creature that gotten aboard an interstellar cargo ship. He watch with intrigue as the 'Alien' burst open from one of the human actors chest. He wondered if such a thing could exist. He was interrupted by the Veterinarian who stepped out from the room.
"So, what do we have?" Tim said.
"I do not know. I have no idea what creature could have killed that tiger."
"What? Give me your best guess."
"Look I do not know-"
"Just give me the closes match."
"All right. But you may consider it out of this world. I think the creature that might have caused the death of that tiger is not from this planet."
Tim looked stunt for a moment, than he burst out laughing.
"Yeah right. An alien. HAHA! Maybe that creature caused it's death." He pointed to the screen. The alien was slicing and dicing a human on the screen.
"No I'm serious. I'll explain why. The burnt on the tiger was caused by high-voltage electrical shock. There are no power lines in the forest."
"And?"
"The claw marks on the belly. The marks do not match any of the animal in the databases. In fact, a closer examination of the marks show that the object that sliced the tiger is of non-natural design. It's like the thing that sliced the tiger was manufactured to kill."
"You gotta be kidding. Aliens do not exist. It must have been some hunters trap." Tim folded his arms.
"I think the creature you will be after has claws and flexibility that is designed to kill. It also have the ability to cast electrical shocks."
"And what proof do you have? Do you have solid evidence?"
"Yes I do. The claws also contain traces of substance which do not come from Earth. I used the most advance portable molucule tester."
"Yeah, acid for blood. I heard that before."
"NO! Mr Imgore, I'm serious. We have a high risk situation which involves a extraterrestrial creature running lose in the forest!"
"Well, I hope you're wrong. I'll inform Felix."
