Chapter 6
Animal stomped the accelerator and spun his vehicle a hundred and eighty degrees then began zigzagging his way through traffic as he raced to the location that the frenzied police officer reported on the scanner. When the two news hunters arrived at Sixth and Madison there before their eyes they beheld an insect-like creature that stood about one hundred feet tall standing in the intersection surrounded by a score of police vehicles. The police had their weapons drawn and at the ready as another call was radioed into to bring in the cities S.W.A.T. units to help against this menacing insectoid. Within no tine the police S.W.A.T. teams arrived and began taking up strategic positions around the monster in hopes of containing it. With all the blue and red flashing lights the creature began to become upset just the a rookie police officer removing a shotgun from his squad car accidentally set off the car's siren which sent the monster into a fit of rage. The creature's eyes blazed a bright green and its body began to glow with an eerie light then the creature began to expel a yellow mist into the air spreading it in all directions. The S.W.A.T. teams and regular officers were overcome by the noxious fog causing them to cough and gag then one by one drop to the ground. Only those furthest away from the monster rushed in to give aide to their stricken fellow officers as the monster wailed as its human aggressor's weapons fell silent. After looking about momentarily it spread open its wings and flew off into the night. After the creature had left Animal turned off his video camera and he and Samantha moved in to help out the suffering police officers.
"Talk about a stink bug that thing is the grand-daddy of them all!" Animal said as he helped a policeman to a waiting ambulance. Animal then turned to Sam and said "We have to get this tape to a friend of mine!" Then the two news persons took the film to the only person Animal knew could help with mutants and that was, Nick Tataupolis .
