AUTHOR'S NOTE OF GLORY: Now for the third day!
-------
"So let me get this straight, you don't really have any intention to capture your victim when you come to visit him?"
"That's right. I basically want to stir up trouble and help the insane process continue faster."
"So you just keep coming back to your victim on the third, fourth and then finally the fifth day. And on the fifth day, you deliver your victim to your client, is that correct?"
"You are correct on everything except the third day part."
"Wait. You don't see your victim on the third day? Why?"
"Two reasons. The color that has been issued to the victim is dangerous to everyone around him including me. And the color does fine without my help."
"And what color would that be?"
"Why red. And what emotion do we think of when we see red?"

"Ah! The Omaha Zoo! One of the best Zoos in the country."
Grandpa Max led Gwen and Ben to the entrance of the Omaha Zoo. With a smile like a child getting a new toy, he turned to Ben and Gwen and said, "we're going to have a great time here!"
Gwen didn't say anything. Ben, who was pale in the face, said quietly, "you didn't have to do that for me."
Max laughed.
"Come on Ben! I'm your grandfather! I have to treat you to fun stuff like this! And besides, you need a break from all that fighting of yours."
Ben didn't say anything nor did Gwen.
They haven't told Max about what had happened in the last two days. They didn't want to worry him and make him do something drastic. Gwen assumed it was just Ben feeling sick but Ben was sure that it was something different.
After the tour of the bat cave and the tropical building, it was time to head over to view some of the monkeys. Max, who was having a blast, said to them: "Isn't this fun! I'm glad we came here! This takes me back to the days when I was very young…my own grandpa took me to the Zoo almost every month. Our favorite part were the elephants. I actually got to ride one named Jelly!"
While viewing the monkeys, Gwen couldn't help but say, "Look at them! The way they swing through the trees and scratch themselves in such a comic way! They strongly remind me of a certain cousin of mine!"
She gave a teasing look to Ben who said nothing.
Why does she make fun of me?, thought he, Why can't she leave me alone?
Ben slowly gripped his fists, he licked his teeth as his already slow mind was beginning to move faster.
What have I done to deserve this? Why is she so mean?
Ben's breathing became quicker, he felt energy pulsating throughout his course body.
Why has she hurt my feelings for so long? I hate it! Why does she do that! I hate it when she does that!
Gwen noticed that Ben was beginning to act oddly.
"…Ben?" she said slowly.
I…hate her. I hate her. I hate her! She must die….DIE!
Ben quickly looked at Gwen. Gwen had the look of frighteness on her face.
"Ben! What are you doing!"
Ben faced her and held out his hands.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
He pushed Gwen over and got on top of her. He then placed her hands on her throat and started to strangle her. Gwen was trying to push him off but her strength was no where near his.
"BEN! What are you doing!" cried his Grandpa.
Max quickly ran over to Ben and pulled him off of Gwen. However, Ben was still squirming trying to reach his attended prey. With the release of Ben from her throat, Gwen was able to breathe again, but she was too weak to get back up. While Ben was trying to get out of Max's grip, he saw the Omnitrix on his arm and he smiled maliciously. He placed his hand on the Omnitrix and turned it to a random alien. He then slammed his hand on the button and began to change. Max quickly let go of Ben and picked up Gwen.
"We got to get out of here Gwen!" he said.
While Max was running, he turned around to see that Ben had turned into Wildmutt. This made Max run faster though he knew that it would be useless since Wildmutt would be able to track them down easily. Up ahead, he could see the rainforest building and ran towards that. He quickly opened the doors and ran into the humid building.
Meanwhile, Ben as Wildmutt was able to smell Max and Gwen. Drool foamed out of his mouth as he longed to find his prey.
Must kill…must kill.
Wildmutt ran towards the rainforest building (all in the while people were screaming "Loose animal!") and without a moment of hesitation, he smashed down the doors and also ran inside.
He could smell his intended pair quite clearly, even though mix sounds and scents were surrounding him at all directions, he was able to pin point them. He then ran forward, jumped onto a tree and began to jump from tree to tree.
Kill…kill…
Max could hear from the distance the shrill barking of Wildmutt. Breathing hard, he carried the frightened Gwen with him to escape the menace of the wild animal alien. He knew that Ben would catch up with him soon. As he was running, his eye caught sight of a box labeled "In case for emergencies only." Realizing that this was an emergency, Max set Gwen down and quickly opened the box to see that there was a tranquilizer gun inside. He then picked the gun up and released the safety trigger on it.
"Grandpa! Your not going to shoot Ben are you?"
"Relax Gwen, I'm only going to put him to sleep."
"Oh that's reasurring."
Just then, Wildmutt jumped onto their path 30 feet ahead of them. He quickly looked around and located Max and Gwen. With a large bark he began to run forward. Max quickly checked the gun to see that there was only one tranquilizer bullet. Raising the gun, he aimed carefully at Wildmutt who was getting nearer and nearer.
"Hurry Grandpa!" yelled Gwen.
Max squinted his eyes and fired the bullet.
Wildmutt however was still running at them.
"You missed Grandpa! We're going to die!", screamed Gwen who was now crying.
Suddenly, Wildmutt began to spaz out. His whole body seemed to twitch violently as he was running. He then tripped over and fell down to the ground. He skidded to a halt right in front of Max and Gwen. The Omnitrix started to beep just then and then came a flash to reveal an unconcious Ben.
Max plucked the tranquilizer dart out of Ben's neck and held it up in the air.
"I never miss."
