Your friends are on the line. It is a matter of life and death for them; Kenny is not playing with you, but why all this cloak and dagger bullshit. You swallow your pride and contain your rage. Like before, it is Kenny, Becky, and Logan who are doing more than what the eyes see. You hate to put yourself back into the jaws of a monster. The only difference is now too many others are caught in the web with you.

You say, "We do this around 19:00pm. I swear to God if anything happens..."

Logan says, "You'll what? You are going to do as you are told and keep your damn mouth shut. You try to alert the people, they die. You try to frame Kenny, they die. You even try to tell your lover, then you and her will die. So, do as you are told."

Kenny smirks at you, and takes his leave. You see your friends taken with him. All you can promise them is safety. The last car is for you as they take you back home. It is only 22:30pm for Saturday. You have to think of a plan to help your friends; you step inside your cottage and throw stuff around. You roar and yell at how crazy this whole thing is. No plan you come up is a sure win. Kenny is up to something and Becky is working for him. Logan is just some shadow agent working for someone. This is too much; time to have a drink. You break out the heavy alcohol to drown in a pool of rage and misery. All of this shit is just one big fucking headache.

After shot number four, your head is feeling fuzzy and weak. The taste is still strong, but you are under the influence. All you see is Kenny, Becky, and Logan pulling the strings. The more you take in, the more you want to see them dead. To hell with the papers and anything else, you just need those three people gone from this life. Kenny...Becky...Logan...these people must die. The last sip you recall is number eight, or ten. You are out for the night, and it is a night you hope to forget.

You last thought, "Kenny is voicing his words. Becky is gathering any evidence, and Logan is just the gun man. Someone is over them, or they are trying to gain the credit for this."

Your night is full of darkness. No memories and no images. It is a night that ends with the alarm going off. Shit is the first word to escape your mouth. You have a massive headache that pounds at you brain; you slowly crawl on the floor to the bathroom. You didn't think you were going to be on the floor last night. You make it to the commode just to starting the vomit session. You puke so hard that blood comes out, but you know the pain is from the damn bean bag colliding into your chest. You are weak for a good two hours before you can stand up. You check the time and see it is 09:00am for Sunday September 17th. You still have plenty of time to get things ready. It won't be easy to just trap Sarah; she will fight back and make things chaotic.

You take time to recover from the pain and get some water in your system. This day is going to be one shitty night for you. Your friends are taken, and now you have to capture Sarah in order to set them free. You waste no time in getting ready and making sure the military will know of your progress. As soon as you step from your cottage, here we go yet again. Becky is here waiting for you.

You say, "You got a lot of nerve to be here waiting for me after you quickly told Kenny what is going on. This is my own fault for saving you; I'll just be sure to let you die the next time you are in trouble."

Becky steps to you, "I may have gotten hurt, but I have what I need. So, I'll be sure your name goes..."

You stop her raving, "You and your news worthy shit can go to hell. My friends are taken, and I blame myself for helping you; I won't be your savior any more. Now, if you will excuse me, I have a military leader and official to go meet with. That is your headline today."

You push pass her and catch a ride with a fellow officer. She asks you what is going on in dome three with the police and military. You keep it short and urge her to hurry; there is no need to go and find the military leaders. You can guess that Kenny strikes again and told them some interesting news that he learned. You arrive at dome three to see a few military cars are in the front of the entrance. By the time you make it to HQ, you see more around the front. With no time to waste, a soldier directs you straight to the office. A few cops try to ask you something, but you let everyone know that something has come up.

You step inside your office to find Kenny with two other people. A military leeader and the dome three official stand before you.

Kenny introduces, "This is military leader Laura Croff. This is Dome Three Official Michael Ryner. They are here to assist you with the dome four problem."

Laura shakes your hand, "It is an honor to meet with you. Sorry about the late Capt. Johnson. He was a good man."

Michael shakes your hand, "I heard great things about you, Capt. Breningham. You have been making quite a show since you took office."

You reply, "Yes...Official Kenny can be good with words. For now, I do have a problem and hopefully, we can find a way to fix it. Are you both in?"

They nod yes and you continue, "Ok, this all started..."

Kenny interrupts, "They don't need too much information. All they need to know is there is a monster around dome four in a cave. It has taken the face of a person and uses it to lure people to a gruesome death. You show them the location, and you will have their full support to help you out."

You lean back and say, "Well, since Kenny is doing the talking, you go with his idea."

Laura replies, "It is alright. I know how annoying Kenny is at times. You just show us where we will be needed and that is it."

Michael turns to Kenny, "In the future, leave the conversation to someone else than over talk them. You do that too much."

He hides his displeasure behind a mask of smiles, "Of course. I need to remember this is dome three. You all handle the issue; I'll be here with the reinforcements."

Michael pulls up the map for dome four. You point to where the cave is at.

Laura says, "How large is this creature?"

You reply. "You better just bring a large ass cage. You will understand."

You all come to an agreement and plan on how to do this as things are underway. The plan is complete, and now you must let everyone know what is going on. You take to the top of the stairs again and place your hands on the rail.

You say, "Gentlemen and gentlewomen, tonight we will catch a monster far worse than Logan Leonard. With the combined might of the military and police force, we will bring the monster in and stop the madness around dome four. This won't be an easy task and some of us may get hurt. So, gear up and be at your best. We begin the op at 19:00pm. Don't be late."

Everyone is excited, eager, brave, and pumped for this operation; however, you know why you must do this. You have to save your friends, but it will just cause Sarah to hate you more. For the next hours, you instruct and order your people to use shotguns, handguns, assault rifles, and any kind of net they can throw onto the creature. It takes hours for the stuff to be prepared. You spend some of your time in your office and order many others to go home for rest. It is going to be one long evening. You check over the weapons, cars, and oversize net they will use. Everything looks perfect and Michael approves of your eagerness to see everything ready. Laura has several heavy duty vehicles ready to transport her men. The best vehicle she has is the massive truck. You are amazed by how it looks.

You thought, "Oh yeah, this will do more than hold Sarah. It is capable of holding two or three large mammals."

With nothing else to do, now is the time to get some grub and wait for the evening time to come. You go into dome three's food section; today is fat burger day for you; there is no sense in trying to watch your diet. And given everything that has been going on, you need a fat burger and a tall beer. You arrive to find Laura and Michael enjoying themselves. Rather than get involve with them, you keep to yourself. There is no telling how far Kenny's influence goes. You order your food and take some time to relax. You pray that your friends are ok too. You look at your phone and see nothing new. There are no text messages from Sarah. You bite down into the burger and taste how good it is. The burger is made of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, cheese, ketchup, honey mustard, and mayo with a tall beer.

You head back to work and finish up anything else that needs to be looked over and checked. Everything is done; no more work until next week. The drive back to your cottage is a relaxing one, but without your friends, it is too quiet. You miss hearing John's bad jokes and Claire's dry attitude. This is one of those times having a friend is worth it. You check the time and it is only 13:00pm. You sleep as much as you can before 18:00pm gets here. As fast as you lay down to rest, it is time to get back up.

The time is 17:27pm. No more time to lose and waste. You get dressed and make yourself a small snack. You come out and hitch a ride to dome four. The hour is upon you; the same spot outside the cave is now full of activity. You see Laura and Michael going over the plans with Kenny. The trap seems off. The area is surround by trucks and cars with the nets at the top. You come to the three leaders.

You ask, "What is going on here?"

Kenny answers, "The trap is ready. All you need to do is go inside and lure her out. We will do the rest."

Laura asks Kenny, "You are sure the captain doesn't need any backup?"

He replies, "Capt. Breningham doesn't need any backup. He has dealt with this before and he will 'deliver'. Trust him. I know I do."

You can hear the words of threat behind more lies; however, you know what must be done. It pains you to do this, but this will save your friends. You give them your best and promise to bring the beast out. You order your fellow cops to be ready as you walk inside the path once again. Laura calls to you and hands you an interesting weapon.

She says, "Think of this as a stun gun only you will be using ice rounds to slow the beast down if it gets too close to you. I manage to borrow this from the D&T department. You only have three bullets and three grenades. Each one has an ice explosion to it. Try not to get killed from freezing your ass off and good luck."

The weapon appears to be a grenade launcher. It is light and looks simple enough to use. Everything is going well; the best part is Laura and Michael have more faith in you than Kenny does. You breathe easy and keep your emotions from spilling out. Like before, the flesh cone blows air at you. So, you know what is coming soon. You come back to the cave again. It is quiet.

You thought, "Maybe she is sleep. Or maybe she is in a new location. Perhaps, she is..."

You hear a soft growl near your ears. You already know better than to turn around; however, today is the day you would see her. And it will not be easy or gentle.

Sarah says, "Hi, Marvin. I'm glad to see you back. So, you mind telling me what is going on?"

You calmly answer, "Sarah, there is a team of military people that want to help you. I need you to be willing to step outside. It is important..."

Sarah moves closer to you and breathes deeply near your ear. You would be scared, but this is no time to show fear.

She says, "So, you want them to take me away and lock me up? Tell me, Marvin. If I was that bad, how come you didn't bother to tell me? Did I disgust you so badly that it came to this? Don't you fucking move! I am not in the mood right now, but I can always use another treat."

You reply, "Sarah, there is more going on here, but I need you to trust me..."

You feel her arms wrap around you. You ask, "How many people did you kill?"

Sarah says, "Well, I can definitly tell you that I have been more than bad. I wish I didn't eat the others that came here. I don't want anything unless it is something living...Marvin, I need you...I..."

You slowly reach for the grenade launcher. Sarah locks her large arms around you; this is real bad.

She says, "I know it has been some hours, but I hope you will let me taste you before I eat you...WhAt Is OnE...More BITE?!"

You whsiper an apologuy to her and reach for the ice grenade. You move slowly as she keeps on just fitting your head inside her mouth. Before she can starting trying to lick you, you pull the pin and drop the ice grenade under her. It goes off and freezes the area. The grenade works as you pull away from her with a light mist around you. You pull out the flash light and aim it in her direction.

You turn around with your eyes wide open to finally see her...and it was a mistake. You see something large, strong, deformed, tendrils, tentacles, and sharp claws. Sarah has the same eyes, but her face is not as human as it was before. You can't look away, but now she is more than just enraged. It is a good thing you already have a shell in the grenade launcher. You drop the light and Sarah changes some more as you hear the bones and flesh crack. She keeps her eyes locked on you with her bottom jaw changing into mandibles. You can't believe she looks this horrifying; there are several arms coming out of her with claws and her mouth is wide enough to bite off your head.

She inhumanly screams, "I...told you before...Marvin. Do...Not...LOOK...AT...ME!"

You slowly move back, but she is taking a step to you. You say, "Sarah, don't make me do..."

She leaps at you, but you fire the grenade launcher at her. The shell hits her body with an ice shot. It is time to run. Sarah roars with an inhuman cry as she changes her body more.

You run and radio to anyone, "Hey! I hope you are ready with that trap. She is chasing me and the grenade launcher works. This is not a drill."

Laura responds, "How far is she behind you?"

You look back at you climb up the ladder to see her right on your heel. You say, "This ain't a motherfucking joke. She is literally on my ass. Be ready..."

You feel your legs grabbed by a strong arm. You hold on for dear life and look down to see her coming up. Now it is as if she is a spider.

Sarah says, "I told you never to look at me! WHY DID YOU LOOK AT ME?!"

You pull a second grenade out and pull the pin. Before you can throw it, she smacks your hand back and slams you against the wall. You continue to hold onto the ladder by one arm. She comes to you at eye level and here comes the claw. Luckily for you, the same grenade goes off near you both; the area freezes again causing her to lose focus. Sarah lets go and you quickly rush up the ladder to start running down the path. You reload the grenade launcher with a new shell. Your heart is pounding and you are completely scared. You hear more noises behind you and turn around. Nothing in your sight, but you know she is coming. You hurry and run some more only to feel her scratch at your back.

You feel the pain in your back caused by her claw and fall to the ground. You look at her again as she stomps to you. Sarah's face has multiple eyes and her mouth is larger than before. You can't tell what form she has taken, but it is enough to fire a second round. You reach for the grenade launcher only to feel a large hand hold your arm down. You look back to see a terrifying surprise. Her stomach is large enough to contain you.

Sarah says, "I'm going to rip your damn face off before I swallow you with my stomach."

You say, "Sarah, you don't want this!"

You see a second mouth slowly consume you. You reach for the last ice grenade and pull the pin quickly. She has your entire legs in her second mouth and stops there. The same claw comes above her head; she is ready to strike. The grenade goes off just as the claw comes down. She misses your face and pulls away. You quickly get up and run some more as fast as you can. She keeps yelling at you and growling like bfore. Shit, only two shells for the grenade launcher. You have to make each shot count. You turn around and wait for her to catch up. She comes at you full speed, but you got this. You fire the ice round and pray it slows her down again.
